The last time Barbra Streisand appeared on The Tonight Show was in 1963, with Johnny Carson, when she was just 21 years old, and after she had won two grammies for her first album -- The Barbra Streisand Album. It's quite amazing that she returned to the show 51 years later with a new album, Partners, a collection of duets with such legends as Elvis Presley, Blake Shelton and, of course, John Legend.
This time around, the host was Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy wouldn't be Jimmy if he didn't play some dress up and did a little singing of his own. He stood in for Elvis, Blake Shelton and Michael Bublé in a medley of duets, and did a solid job, getting praises from Streisand along the way.

Near the end of the performance, Fallon even tried to steal a kiss from Streisand -- and failed miserably.
When it comes to Streisand's voice, it has aged extremely well. For a comparison with her original duet with Elvis, a gentle rendition of "Love me Tender," see below.
