Episode 31! In this episode, we explore the two songs Fanny recorded with Barbra Streisand for her “Barbra Joan Streisand” album in 1971. We listen to two tracks that Fanny recorded live with Streisand in the studio, “Where You Lead” and “Space Captain”. 
Alice, Kristen, and Byron are joined by Jean and June Millington via prerecorded interviews. 
From Fanny fan Applescruff:
“It’s hard to think of a better backing band for Barbra Streisand than Fanny and Billy Preston. And Richard Perry did no harm with his tambourine. Much more understated than a mariachi band, after all. ?
Perry’s production is mostly pretty slick on this track, at least in my headphones. Jean’s effortlessly breezy bass, June’s bright and bendy guitar, Nickey’s ferocious attack on the piano keys, Alice’s dynamic drums (which should have been mixed higher), and the band’s soulful backing vocals really provide incredible support for Streisand, whose voice works surprisingly well for rock and roll. I only learned recently that Billy Preston was playing organ; I thought it sounded like Nickey playing! That’s high praise for both of them, if they sound like one another. I hold both in high esteem.
All in all, the song slaps! Carole King’s original is terrific, but the Babs/Fanny collaboration kicks it into a higher gear, which it deserves. The sentiment behind it may be a little cornball, but it’s catchy as hell and all involved should be proud.”
