A Star Is Born is the soundtrack album to the 1976 musical film of the same name, performed by its stars Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. The album was very successful, holding the number-one spot on the US Billboard 200 chart for six weeks and eventually was certified 4× Platinum by the RIAA for more than four million units shipped and has sold a total of eight million copies worldwide.[4]

"Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)" was released as the album's lead single and became Streisand's second US number one single, spending three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and six weeks atop the easy listening chart.

According to the liner notes of Streisand's compilation box set Just for the Record, the album also received a record certification in New Zealand, Brazil, the Netherlands, Italy and Mexico.[5] The import version of the CD adds the Spanish version of "Evergreen" as a bonus track.

Notes
  • The songs that appear on the soundtrack are in most cases alternate (live) and studio recordings that do not appear in the film. The alternate version of "Lost Inside of You" that actually appears in the movie was finally released in 1991 as part of the 4-CD Barbra Streisand Anthology Just for the Record. A previously unreleased studio version of the track appeared on her 1982 compilation Memories. It was later re-recorded as a duet with Babyface for her 2014 duets album Partners.
  • While the majority of songs on the soundtrack had been written specifically for A Star Is Born, "Crippled Crow" is the exception, having appeared two years prior to the movie's release on Kris Kristofferson's and Rita Coolidge's album Breakaway. While the original version of "Crippled Crow" is a duet, the movie version is sung solely by Kristofferson.
  • An alternative previously unreleased studio version of the track "With One More Look at You" appears on Streisand's 2012 retrospective Release Me.
