..I played the Streisand version on the radio..at the time it was an AC hit. I still remember the first time I cued up the the 45 (remember those?)on the turntable and gave it a spin...it was late at night, I was the only one in the studio (and the building for that matter)..I remember listening to the lyrics, glancing out the window to the empty street and..kinda getting the "gist" of the tune. 17 years later, I finally had the chance to see the show for the first time on stage. While I don't mind the Streisand version, I'm partial to Elaine Paige's rendition..LOVE her voice!
