美國歌壇女皇［芭芭拉．史翠珊］B面歌曲──音樂劇／傳統流行──［I Am Woman／我是女人］

 

 

I am woman, you are man

I am smaller, so you can be taller than

I am softer to the touch

Its a feeling I like feeling very much

 

You are someone whom Ive admired

Still our friendship leaves something to be desired

Does it take more explanation than this?

I am woman, you are man

 

I am woman

You are man

Lets kiss

 

I am woman, you are man

I am gentle, so you can be barbarian

Im all pleats and pins and rogue

Mostly sham, but man I love the subterfuge

 

I am fiction, I hope you are fact

This contradiction is what makes it a perfect act

Oh does it take more explanation than this?

I am woman, you, you are man

 

I am woman

You are man

Lets, oh lets, oh lets

Lets kiss

 

 

１９６４年春天，２２歲的美國歌壇紅星芭芭拉．史翠珊（Barbra Streisand）

主演百老匯音樂劇〔Funny Girl／妙女郎〕的著名藝人芬妮布萊絲（Fanny Brice）

大獲好評，票房鼎盛．讓她登上〔時代〕雜誌封面．

〔Funny Girl〕當年提名八項東尼獎，可惜遇上大敵〔Hello! Dolly／我愛紅娘〕，未能抱回獎項．

儘管如此，史翠珊卻已是公認的演藝圈紅星

芭芭拉的唱片公司哥倫比亞放棄〔妙女郎〕音樂劇原聲帶的權利，由Capital唱片發行

原聲帶登上美國告示牌專輯榜亞軍，拿到百萬金唱片

首支單曲是１９６４年１月推出的〔People〕

拿到美國流行榜＃５，成為史翠珊第一首暢銷金曲．

 

B面歌曲是［I Am Woman／我是女人］，

這是〔Funny Girl〕中二重唱［You Are Woman, I Am Man／你是女人，我是男人］的獨唱版本。

由Bob Merrill作曲，Jule Styne作詞，Mike Berniker製作成一首音樂劇／傳統流行，

節奏搖擺輕快，芭芭拉的詮釋活潑俏皮．

［I Am Woman］未入告示牌單曲榜，只拿到榜外的＃１１４．

 

在歐洲某些地區，［I Am Woman］被提升為雙Ａ面單曲或單獨主打．
