Barbra Streisand is known for being one of the best selling solo female artists of all time. The amount of commercial sales she has is amazing and she was only topped recently, but none other than Taylor Swift. But here's the thing...I don't get it. I'm not saying she doesn't have a beautiful voice (she is even known for having one of the best voices of all time). There are so many greats, and those greats still get air time on the radio and are talked about...but no one ever talks about Barbra Streisand, and I have never once heard her music on the radio. I'm now just trying to listen to her, but none of her songs are engaging to me. They are boring/dull and put me to sleep. My grandparents never mentioned her and neither do my parents, who were born in the same decade as her.

What am I missing? Is there a specific song or record that people are referring to when they call her the best? Again, I'm not saying anything about her talent...she is a talented lady. But she has this notoriety and legacy in writing that is just wow...but she is NEVER TALKED ABOUT in person like the other greats, and I run into her records for $1 at every single thrift store. I'm a DJ, more specifically, a vinyl DJ, and none of the people in the vinyl community in my area ever talk about her or play her. Why is that?

I want to give her a chance, but not a single song has made me go "wow". Help me understand! I want to get it!
