My Name Is Barbra is a 1965 black-and-white television special, the first for singer and actress Barbra Streisand. Broadcast in conjunction with the release of Streisand's studio album of the same name, the special aired April 28, 1965 on CBS.
A critical success, the program earned Streisand a contract for four additional television specials. Columbia launched a major advertising campaign to promote the subsequent album My Name Is Barbra, Two... coinciding with the October rebroadcast of the TV special.[1]
