Barbra Streisand will remain on Columbia Records, the Sony Music-owned label has announced today.

The Grammy- and Oscar-winning singer and actress has been with the label for 50 years, having originally signed in the early 1960s. She released her first album, 'The Barbra Streisand Album', in 1963. Only crooner Tony Bennett has been on the label longer.

“From the day Goddard Lieberson signed me almost 50 years ago, Columbia Records has been my recording home, and I am thrilled to continue that partnership for many years to come,” said Streisand in a statement.

Added Steve Barnett, Chairman and COO of Columbia Records: “There are stars and there are superstars, and there’s Barbra Streisand... Columbia Records is proud to play a vital role in her extraordinary career. We’re looking forward to the next chapter in our long and fruitful relationship.”

To commemorate the landmark anniversary, Columbia will also release a 12-set DVD featuring unprecedented access into Streisand's professional and personal life. The DVD set will consist of never before seen footage directly from Barbra’s archives.

Streisand has sold over 70 million albums in the U.S. including her most recent Grammy nominated album, 'What Matters Most', which was her 31st to reach the Top Ten.

She'll probably stay on Columbia until she dies.

I wonder if she did anything last July 4th because if Mitch Miller was around...he'd be celebrating his 100th B-Day.

But...I'd rather celebrate Miller's rival, Frank Sinatra's 100th!
