Disney Medley - Barbra Streisand

A while back a reader requested to hear Someday My Prince Will Come covered by BARBRA STREISAND. While she did do a studio version of the song, I have chosen to post a live version that she did for her 34th album, THE CONCERT.

THE CONCERT is a two-disc album of a show Streisand did at Madison Square Gardens at what many fans consider the apex of her career. The album reached #10 on the US charts before going triple-platinum and selling over 3 million copies. Pretty remarkable stats for a double live album!

Disney Medley is a story Barbra tells of her memories watching Disney movies with her daughter. She takes us through Sleeping Beauty's Once Upon A Dream, Pinocchio's When You Wish Upon A Star and ends with Snow White's Someday My Prince Will Come, which ends up being the feature song in the medley.

Es Tu O Principe Azul - Wanda Sá & João Donato

I can't believe I've posted over a hundred songs since I started and this is the first one from Sleeping Beauty. The soundtrack to this film is one of my favourites because I thought that taking Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty ballet and using it as the basis for the songs and score was a great idea. Once Upon a Dream, one of the main themes in the ballet, is my favourite song and the only song that seems to get covered from that film (I have only one cover of another Sleeping Beauty song).

Taking this classical-turned-showtune song and giving it a bossa nova groove makes the song even more fun thanks to Wanda Sá and João Donato. These two bossa nova legends have been making music since the 50s and 60s and have collaborated on a number of different projects over the years including this version of Once Upon a Dream from the Japanese exclusive BOSSA DISNEY NOVA.
