Streisand Takes Over ‘Tonight Show’
With Babs already one of the biggest stars in America for many, many moons now, she may very well have warranted such special treatment anyway. But this occasion was extra-special, as Streisand had not appeared on an American late-night talk show in 51-years.

Streisand came to Rockefeller Center to promote her brand new duets album, Partners; featuring such guests as Blake Shelton, Michael Bublé, Stevie Wonder, and even her own son, Jason Gould.
