Barbra had a two-song segment where she sang Cry Me A River and Happy Days Are Here Again. She wore a diaphanous gown which she used to dramatic effect when climbing the stairs of the set to sing Happy Days.

For the last segment of the show, Barbra joined Dinah and guests Georgia Brown (from Oliver!), Sam Fletcher, and the Chad Mitchell Trio (folk singers). They all sang a rousing rendition of Brotherhood Of Man (from How to Succeed in Business...).

Barbra helped close the show by demonstrating how one would say goodnight in the New York theater ...

Barbra flew out to California for her first time to tape the Shore show — which was taped in color. Black and white kinescopes have been circulated among fans for years. A color video clip surfaced several years ago on When They Were Stars.

The recent re-broadcast of these old Dinah Shore shows on PBS gives hope that the Shore estate has kept the color Streisand episode safe and sound all these years ... and that, hopefully, we'll get to see it one day soon!
