“They inspire me in unique and different ways…and make our time in the studio a joy! My new album gave me the chance to work and play with some of my old friends, labelmates, and new artists too. I admire all of them… and I hope that you’ll enjoy listening to our collaborations as much as I enjoyed recording with all of my wonderful partners.”
Streisand and Dylan have never appeared on a song together before. But a 1971 letter from Dylan to his friend Tony Glover surfaced in 2020 that said “Lay Lady Lay ” was originally written for Streisand. And in 2016, the New York Times revealed that Dylan saved a 1978 letter from Streisand thanking her for sending flowers, and suggesting they record a song together.
Here are all the songs and collaborators…
“The Very Thought of You” – Bob Dylan
“My Valentine” – Paul McCartney
“One Heart, One Voice” – Mariah Carey & Ariana Grande
