Barbra Streisand Honored at MusiCares Gala

“I’m stuck with the leftovers,” Barbra Streisand cracked as she took the stage at the MusiCares Person of the Year gala dinner, an annual Grammy tradition that brings together more than a dozen marquee names in music in tribute to one of their own. She’s referring to her library of songs, many of which had already been sung on Friday night at the Los Angeles Convention Center by the likes of longtime friends Barry Manilow (“Memory”) and Tony Bennett (“Smile), fans, like Glee’s Lea Michele (“My Man”) and Leona Lewis (“Somewhere”), collaborators, like Diana Krall, who produced Streisand’s 2009 album Love is the Answer, and the unlikely but awesome trio of Jeff Beck, BeBe Winans and LeAnn Rimes, who traded verses on a rousing “Come Rain or Come Shine.”
