Paul Williams and Barbra Streisand
Barbra Streisand is a singer and actor working in Hollywood since the 1960s. Her 1972 album Live Concert at the Forum features two performances of the Sesame Street original song, "Sing"; the first one as a medley with "Make Your Own Kind of Music" by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, and the second with "Happy Days Are Here Again". In 1977, she wrote "Evergreen" with Paul Williams for A Star Is Born, which earned them an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
