Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

1. Barbra StreisandYentl – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Instead of favourites, I’ve kind of gone for records I’ve listened to a bazillion freaking times. The soundtracks I’ve chosen are the first records I can actually remember listening to. They’re all from kid-dom and I listened to them over and over again. I had this on vinyl from the library, checked out for over a year. I would just go back and renew it. I know every single word. Michel Legrand’s music is very beautiful. I loved singing and these songs were so good to sing.

I mean, I was like six years old and I really did love the movie, too. I wouldn’t say that I was a Streisand fan, particularly. My love of Yentl doesn’t really bleed over into Barbra territory.
