The lovely Miss McNair can belt with the very best of them. Here in her pre-Motown days with a great Harold Arlen tune.

So sad this Racine WI actress/singer sadly passed from throat cancer. But thanks to technology like U tube, folks will continue to "discover" her!

Wow...some neat similarities to Streisand. Nice to hear a different interpretation. Very easy on the eyes BTW....sweet stuff. I like some of her Motown music but this is impeccable & seemingly on another level completely.

Some asked why Barbara never made it big. She did. But it all stopped when a sting was done on her husband, she signed for a package for him, and that ended her incredibly rapid rise. But, she stood by Rick until the end. A most wonderful person you will never find. Barbara was a friend and VERY special! KEITH

In one of his shows, Howard Stern said that this woman was the best looking black female of all time.

Agreed Barbara tended to overblow at that point in her career....now she tends to over intellectualize and make each note perfect losing the 'spontaneity " and realness of the lyrics of any song she sings...beautiful voice ...no denying ...but this is a way more moving performance.

Wow!!! I'm ashamed to say I've heard of Barbara before, but have never heard that great voice. What a wonderful discovery for this late-comer. The only version I like better is Judy Garland's first version from her TV show, so anything approximating that level of talent is pretty amazing. This definitely beats the Streisand version...as great as she is. Thanks for posting this wonderful performance!!!

Ms. McNair paved the way for so many black women. However on the same token it worked against her. She looked and sounded too much of what the public considered "white" - whatever that is - and the fact that she was black people didn't promote her as they should have. Why do so many know of Streisand, and not McNair?!
