When sunny gets blue - BARBRA STREISAND

When sunny gets blue

When sunny gets blue,

Her eyes get grey and cloudy,

Then the rain begins to fall.

Pitter, patter, pitter patter,

Love has gone so what can matter?

No sweet lover man comes to call

When sunny gets blue

She breathes the sigh of sadness

Like the wind that stirs the trees

Wind that sets the leaves to swaying

Like some violins are playing

Weird and haunting melodies

People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile

That's how she got a name

Since that sad affair

She lost her smile, changed her style

Somehow she's not the same

Memories will fade

And pretty dreams will rise

Up where her other dreams fell through

Hurry new love, hurry dear

To kiss away each lonely tear

And hold me dear

'cause sunny is blue . ..

Many different singers have done this number and I've heard many; I like many. But this woman does this song in a uniquely expressive way that is peerless, and her musical director is right there with her every step of the way. The Simply Streisand album is among her best early works. I wish everyone on earth could hear this one.

O now it's one of her best. Not just her vocal but the orchestral arrangement was nice.

The best version of this much - recorded tune. As always, no one can come within light years of Miss Streisand. She makes everything she sings HER version.

Outstanding performance here! Completely original phrasing. This is Barbara before she became an imitation of herself..

yes i agree completely, lovely stuff of dreams. I wonder if this is the soul of the real Barbra?

Its not her job to keep time for the band. In this setting, that is the rhythm section's job, so she has the freedom to float in and around the time. Plus, isn't it more expressive that way?

There's Barbra...then there's the rest of them. We are blessed with a world of wonderful singers, but Barbra does more than sing a song...she tells a story...and there's no question of the story she is telling. Have loved the song forever...but when Barbra sings it, it's brought all new life to it....just like everything she does. WOW!!!

@ieatbunnies3 Not sure what you mean. She nailed it. Laid way back in the places where it sounds good, and then nailed it.

Oh my God, this is the version of this song I've been looking for for forever!!!! I didn't know it was the Barbra Streisand version I liked. Now all I can think of is The Nanny, lol. But this song is so beautiful..

Barbra is an undeniable talent of the first order. This is her style. She works a song with a bit of Broadway and a dose of her own soulfulness. It may not be what everyone likes, but her talent is real and not based on some video of her shakin' her booty or being "cute at most". Beauty refers here to the music "dude". I've been listening to her since she first started recording. I'm not fanatic, but I do like many of her performances. This is a good one. But check out Mel Torme doing this song.

Nobody can sing like this supertalent - In the smoky velvet relaxing fog of her phrasing on this one, I'm surprised there are those who like to pontificate and opine about someone else's perception of a wonderful song. Her voice is the Stradivarius and can anyone surpass it? If music critics can do better let them get up and show us or forever lock themselves away listening to early 20th century cylinders,( luv from one who can't sing but knows what is extraordinary)

Like pretty much everything she gets her hands on, she oversings this. I wish that, just once, she'd stop trying to control every freakin' syllable and just sing simply and from the heart. Way to overdo a great song.
