However, i do believe it to be no coincidence that People was chosen for the proposed duet. It is a known fact Ms Streisand was less than thrilled by the timing of the Supremes Funny Girl album, and i think this was Ms Streisand's way of informing Ms Ross that she was firmly in control of the situation.
I do not believe a duet was ever meant to be, and that again is just my personal take on the situation.
