The cover will be featured on the Broadway legend's upcoming duets album The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume 2.
Barbra Streisand has recruited Paul McCartney to join forces for a new version of his 2012 single “My Valentine,” which was released Friday (May 16) via Columbia Records.
“What if it rained? We didn’t care/ He said that someday soon the sun was gonna shine/ And he was right, this love of mine/ My valentine,” Babs coos on the opening verse before Sir Paul, takes over to sing, “As days and nights would pass me by/ I’d tell myself that I was waiting for a sign/ Then she appeared, a love so fine/ My valentine” over a lush combination of strings and piano.
The cozy love song originally served as the lead single from the former Beatle’s 2012 solo album Kisses on the Bottom, where it was one of just two original songs on the LP and featured a starry assist from Eric Clapton on guitar.
Now, the reimagined version for two is the second preview of Streisand’s upcoming duets album, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, which is out June 27 and acts as a sequel 11 years in the making to her Grammy-nominated No. 1 LP Partners from 2014.
Ahead of releasing the duet, the legendary Funny Girl star shared a snap of the longtime friends on her Instagram, writing, “What a joy it was to record ‘My Valentine’ with @paulmccartney. To share time with him in the studio was truly special.”
Streisand’s 37th studio set will also feature guest turns from A-listers like Hozier (the previously released “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”), James Taylor (“Secret O’ Life”), Bob Dylan (“The Very Thought of You”), Tim McGraw (“I Love Us”) and Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande (“One Heart, One Voice”).

I am a huge McCartney fan, but his duets with anyone other than fellow Beatles are awful, and this one sounds truly hideous.
What fellow Beatles did he have a duet with?
I just meant all the early Beatles songs he sang with John Lennon.
McCartney - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ...Streisand - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
They had a lot of great songs but their lyrics sucked for the most part . Ray Davies and Jagger/Richard blew them away lyrically .
Luckily for Paul, Bob Dylan is also doing a duet on the album, so he won't be the worst sounding duet partner
You can stop, Paul. You’ve been the least-favorite Beatle for decades. You’re just show-boating, now.
Good to hear Streisand still sounds good.
I saw her at a nightclub in Chicago long ago before anyone ever heard of her. My date said he’d never seen me so smitten with a singer before. We went out to hear every jazz act that came to Chi Town. I still watch Oscar Peterson, etc. on my YouTube. play list.
Paul McCartney’s contribution here can’t possibly be worse than the duets he did with Michael Jackson. Those songs make my ears bleed.
Great story. Oscar Peterson’s interview with David Cavett is phenomenal.
The Stones were always better anyways.
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
McCartney’s use-by date was sometime in 1975.
Bar-bra should do a duet with Yoko.
Well, there was “Ebony and Ivory”
But Babs?? Big mistake, Paul.
Rhythmically (Starkey), melodically, and harmonically, though...you do have to hand it to them. Do you not?
I loved Caveman.
ROTFL! Valentines? I thought Babs went full pancakes since PRESIDENT TRUMP’S first term.
