Pins and Needles CD / Album
by Barbra Streisand
CD / Album
Description
Harold Rome wrote the music and lyrics for 'Pins and Needles', a musical review produced in 1936 by The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union and later transferred to Broadway. It had the distinction of being the only hit Broadway show to be produced by a labour union. In 1962, Columbia Records wanted Rome to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his show by personally supervising a new recording of it. Rome recruited Jack Carroll, Elise Bretton, Stan Freeman, Rose Marie Jun and Barbra Streisand for the record. 'She's nineteen years old, for heaven's sake!' Rome exclaimed about Streisand and her grasp of the 25-year-old material. 'She's not a history student. She doesn't know about the period, and yet she gets into the songs as if she'd been born to them. I don't know where it's coming from.' In Barry Dennen's book, 'My Life with Barbra', he wrote that Streisand called and asked him for assistance with the Rome songs once she found out she'd be recording the album. Dennen maintains he and Streisand met at Sardi's and he gave her direction on how to tackle the five songs she sang on 'Pins and Needles'.
