More about this title

About the Artist: Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand's interpretive gifts have shaped how generations of singers approach the American songbook. Her recorded performances of standards are studied in voice studios and jazz ensembles for their harmonic sensitivity, lyrical phrasing, and emotional directness.

As both a recording artist and stage performer, Streisand has demonstrated how deep musical knowledge and fearless interpretation elevate familiar material. Her versions of jazz and popular standards offer singers a masterclass in balancing technical precision with storytelling.

Why we love this

This standard benefits from Streisand's iconic recording, which gives singers a clear interpretive reference without being prescriptive. The piano/vocal/chords format works beautifully for voice students building jazz repertoire or for community ensembles adding accessible popular standards to their seasons.

What to expect

A playful confession wrapped in sophistication, built on a melody that sits comfortably in the voice and harmonies that feel both familiar and slightly unexpected. The song balances humor with genuine affection, giving singers room to play with tempo and dynamics without losing the underlying warmth.

Who it's for

Singers developing jazz and standards repertoire will find this accessible and immediately rewarding. Community choruses, cabaret performers, and voice students exploring popular American song will all draw value from this classic tune.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the original recordings by both Streisand and Sinatra to understand how different interpretive choices (tempo flexibility, phrasing shape, dynamic range) serve the song's arc.
  • Pay attention to chord symbols and let them guide your harmonic awareness; this is conversational music where understanding the harmony underneath supports expressive singing.
  • Balance the vocal line with the piano part so the accompaniment supports rather than overwhelms the narrative quality of the lyrics.

How to use it

Pair this with other Gershwin standards or American songbook selections for a jazz-inflected vocal recital. It also works as a refreshing choice in pops concerts or community variety shows where the standards tradition connects with audience nostalgia.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting lead sheet symbols and understanding harmonic movement
  • Phrasing lyrical melody over jazz changes
  • Balancing vocal expression with accompaniment support
  • Stylistic awareness of mid-century popular song conventions
