The original article, before I did the edit on it, seemed to suggest that the concert was called "4 for McGovern" and that Streisand's segment of the concert was titled, "Barbra-Live!. Neither the concert program or the poster or the pinback or the ticket to the performance mentions any of that on them. There was no such title to the concert and no such title to her performance. The concert had three performers, Carole King, James Taylor and Streisand, as well as Quincy Jones and his orchestra, and there was no "Barbra-Live!" segment to the concert. Streisand simply came onstage and performed last. The concert as a whole was where the $18,000.00 came from that McGovern got for his campaign; the money did not just come from Streisand's segment of the concert, which is which the original article seemed to imply. So I just tried to clear things up a bit.

(2) Streisand did not "warn the public on the misuse of drugs and alcohol". On the contrary, you can tell by her monologue on the LP recording of the concert (during which she lit up a prop joint) that she was supporting marijuana use, not condemning it. This was after all a benefit for a liberal, Democratic candidate. The way the original article was written suggests that Streisand was anti-marijuana, whereas she wasn't. She did the same thing onstage, lighting up a joint, and pretending to get high, every night during her Las Vegas appearances in late 1971. She was trying to be hip and make a point at the same time.

(3) The original article said this: "The album's songs were recorded during the '4 for McGovern' concert held in benefit towards George McGovern presidential campaign". That seems to suggest that the proceeds from the album went to the McGovern campaign. They did not. The proceeds from the concert (after expenses and write-offs) went to the McGovern campaign, the proceeds from the album did not. Streisand held the copyright to her performance, and she benefited from the album.

(4) The original article also said: "her segment for the event was titled "Barbra-Live!" and took place on April 15, 1972 at The Forum in Inglewood in Los Angeles. I corrected that because HER segment (Streisand's) didn't take place as a separate entity on that night - the ENTIRE concert with Carole King, James Taylor and Streisand took place on that night. It was one concert with four headliners (including Quincy Jones).

(5) Saying that Richard Perry "solely and executively" produced the album is hyperbole and just sounds overripe. Perry simply produced the album. And saying that Eddie Kendrix was "tasked" with being Streisand's vocal coach is again over-written. He was simply her vocal coach. So I cleaned that up.

The article may have originally been written by a Streisand fan who is, quite understandably, not pleased by me editing his or her work. But it needs some cleaning up. To be frank, parts of this article read like they were written by someone whose mother tongue is not English.
