What can you say about a legend?
She's been a champion of women's rights, LGBT issues, the environment, and civil rights before most of us were born. And she's been in the entertainment biz for 50 years--the only artist to have a #1 album in 5 consecutive decades. She's won 2 Oscars, 5 Emmys, a Tony, and 8 Grammys. She was on Nixon's enemies list.
In short: she's a badass.
Here are a few of her most superlative live performances through the years:
(When the Sun Comes Out, My Name is Barbra - 1965)
(The Way We Were, Funny Girl to Funny Lady - 1975)
(If I Loved You, The Broadway Album - 1985)
(If You Go Away, One Night Only: Live at the Village Vanguard - 2009)

Happy birthday, Ms STREISAND.
