TOP 1500 CHOICE TRACKS


#234 THE MAIN EVENT / FIGHT Barbra Streisand
In 1979, Barbra Streisand starred in the comedy film 'The Main Event' opposite Ryan O'Neal.
The movie became a box office hit, re-uniting the 2 actors from 1972's 'What's Up, Doc?'. Its title song, performed by the actress, was written by Paul Jabara, Bob Esty and Bruce Roberts. Recording took place in Los Angeles. Esty produced, arranged and conducted the track. He also contributed background vocals, along with identical twins brothers Billy and Bobby Alessi. The siblings recorded in their own right and charted with "Oh Lori" and "Put Away Your Love" around the time of this hit song.
"The Main Event" was another effort to reflect current music trends for Streisand. It became her biggest disco-flavoured hit to date, reaching #3 in America and #5 in Canada. In Australia, the single peaked at #21. Next, she collaborated with Donna Summer for "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", an even bigger disco smash.   

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
A new song is added each day.
