People/ I Am Woman

Here it is... Streisand's very first chart single, taken from the Broadway musical Funny Girl (the movie version is a different recording). Also from the Broadway show is the fabulous B side of this single... you remember, the one she sings in the movie as Omar Sharif seduces her for dinner. Unlike the movie, though, here she is singing the song to him, as if she's doing the seducing; the song isn't a duet as in the movie. Though released with the intention of "I Am Woman" as the A side, that song went nowhere, and "People" became the singer's first hit. The song's significance on this release is why we list it as the A side. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels and vinyl (styrene). The audio isn't quite as nice, but it's still a strong Excellent, reflecting very light surface noise that's occasionally audible.
