This Thursday, July 28th, between 7-9 A.M. , Richard Jay-Alexander will appear on The QVC Morning Show to promote and introduce the audience to WHAT MATTERS MOST - Barbra Streisand Sings The Lyrics of Alan & Marilyn Bergman. It will be a unique opportunity to learn behind-the-scenes info and to pre-order the highly anticipated new studio album from the legendary artist, the album that fulfills her historic Columbia Records contract.

This will be Richard's 4th appearance on QVC, which has been fertile ground for Streisand, helping her achieve #1 status on the charts for both her LOVE IS THE ANSWER CD and her ONE NIGHT ONLY @ THE VILLAGE VANGUARD DVD. Jay-Alexander knows his subject well and always has informative insight on the unparalleled star. He also possesses the kind of personality that makes the shoppers want to call in and chat with him about the star.

The new album, which Streisand personally produced, is comprised of ten Bergman songs which Streisand has never previously recorded. Included in the set are the Academy Award winning songs "The Windmills of Your Mind" (from the 1968 film The Thomas Crown Affair); "So Many Stars" (originally a hit song for Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66); "Nice 'n' Easy" (popularized by Frank Sinatra); and "That Face" (first recorded by Fred Astaire) . The CD will be packaged in a jewel box with a 24-page color booklet.

The deluxe edition CD will include ten previously released performances of Barbra singing the lyrics of Alan and Marilyn Bergman including "The Way We Were", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", "Papa Can You Hear Me?" and "Pieces of Dreams".

There will also be a bonus DVD offered to those who pre-order, which is an extended filmed piece which takes you "behind the scenes" with Streisand and her long-time friends, Alan & Marilyn Bergman. The DVD also contains photos, interviews, footage of Barbra singing live at the MUSICARES Tribute earlier this year, etc. As always, QVC offers it's audience and buyers something they cannot get anywhere else. We'll be there!
