Transcription

Production

This was Streisand's first straight album — meaning songs in English, and without a TV special tie-in — since September 1964, when Columbia Records released People, even though "The Nearness of You" was played during the opening credits of Streisand's 1968 CBS-TV special, A Happening in Central Park, a year later. The liner notes for the LP were written by the composer Richard Rodgers: "No one is talented enough to sing with the depth of a fine cello or the lift of a climbing bird," he wrote. "Nobody, that is, except Barbra."

A song called "Look" (originally recorded for the previous album, Je m'appelle Barbra) was included as a b-side to the single: "Stout-Hearted Men".[3] Streisand also recorded "Willow Weep for Me" and "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most" during these sessions. Both songs were not included in Simply Streisand. "Willow Weep For Me" was released in the fall of 2012.[4]

The album received mixed to unfavorable reviews from music critics. William Ruhlmann from AllMusic website gave the album three out of five stars and wrote that "If this were the only Streisand album you ever heard, you'd still think she was good. It's only in comparison to what went before that it seems mediocre." Stephen Holden of The New York Times later wrote that Simply Streisand was similar to The Third Album (1964), "but it lacked the freshness of its prototype."[6]

According to Billboard magazine, Columbia Records reports a sale of nearly 250,000 in its first two weeks on the market.[7]
