ABOUT THE SINGLE

Both songs came from Barbra Streisand albums.


“The Morning After” was released as a single almost a year ahead of Barbra's album What About Today? on which it appeared in 1969. The song (and album) were meant to be Barbra's first foray into contemporary music since Columbia Records was becoming the record label of rock and pop acts like Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and Blood, Sweat and Tears.


“Where is the Wonder” is from 1965's My Name is Barbra album.


This single did not chart on the Billboard 100.


Note: “The Morning After” is not the same-titled song sung by Maureen McGovern for the 1973 film The Poseidon Adventure. Streisand is often cited as having recorded the Al Kasha & Joel Hirschhorn-written movie theme, which she did not.
