Streisand Family Recording | 1965 | In 2010, Roslyn Kind appeared on the Canadian TV show Unscripted, and remembered the home recording: “There was a time that my sister, my mother, and I had a tape recorder. My sister moved awayfrom home, and we were visiting her in Manhattan. And so we were all singing on this tape recorder. And my mother was singing, and she could never remember the lyrics. So I'm laughing in the background, and my sister goes, Roslyn stop laughing at your mother! Then I would start singing songs from public school like I've got six pence, jolly, jolly six pence...So we had a fun afternoon singing.” |
