Barbra's 1st all-new studio recording in 4 years (inspired by her close relationship with the late Virginia Kelly, the mother of President Clinton), is an emotional tour-de-force - an album that her fans will flock to, as they did with the Broadway Album. Higher Ground (created with David Foster, Walter Afanasieff, Marvin Hamlisch and Arif Mardin) has already generated radio and media excitement, due to it's "event" single, "Tell Him," a landmark duet with pop superstar Celine Dion.
