Los Angeles National Presidential Gala
Green Acres, Beverly Hills
September 12, 1996

The Hollywood Women's Political Committee held a fundraiser that raised $4 million for the Democratic Party.

Introduced by Tom Hanks, Barbra sang The Way We Were and included some political lyrics near the end.

Next, she gave the audience a preview of the title song on her forthcoming album, Higher Ground.

Barbra spoke about the tendency of the press to tear people down. Then she sang a hopeful song, Somewhere.

Afterwards, Barbra was joined on stage by a choir of young singers. Together they sang At the Same Time, another new song from Higher Ground.
