I finally finished the 966-page memoir of Barbra Streisand. It was an excellent book, but I think she could have cut it down. There was no mention of Bob Dylan until page 958 seen below.
You may have to download the JPG and enlarge it to read it. In the 1970s Dylan sent her flowers and a note asking her to sing with him. It never happened but I don't think that would have worked out since their voices would have clashed. In 1983 when the film Yentl was released Dylan sent Barbra a letter saying there are songs on that album (I assume Infidels) that he thought she would like to do, Which one? Jokerman? License to Kill? Union Sundown? In any event, it never happened.
In 2020 a transcript of an unpublished interview from 1971 Dylan said "Lay Lady, Lay" was written for Barbra Streisand.
