Barbra Streisand has recorded more than 60 albums, almost all with Columbia Records. Her early works in the 1960s (her debut The Barbra Streisand Album which won two Grammy Awards in 1963, followed by The Second Barbra Streisand Album, The Third Album, My Name Is Barbra, etc.) are considered classic renditions of theater and nightclub standards, including her version of Happy Days Are Here Again. Beginning with My Name Is Barbra, her albums were often medley-filled keepsakes of her television specials.
Starting in 1969, Streisand tackled contemporary songwriters; like many talented singers of the day, she found herself a fish out of water in attempts to tackle rock, but her vocal talents prevailed and she gained newfound success with the pop and ballad-oriented Richard Perry-produced album Stoney End in 1971. The title track, written by Laura Nyro, was a big hit for Streisand.
Streisand's 1980 album, Guilty featured the songwriting, production and vocal talents of Barry Gibb and was the best-selling album of her recording career. During the 1970s, she was also highly prominent in the pop charts, with number-one records like The Way We Were, Evergreen, No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) (her duet with Donna Summer), and Woman In Love; some of these came from soundtracks of her films. She recently took part in supporting Haiti in singing "We are the World 25th anniversary.
When the 1970s ended, Streisand was named the most successful female singer in the U.S. - only Elvis Presley and The Beatles having sold more albums. [1]
[1] In 1982, New York Times music critic Stephen Holden wrote that Streisand was "the most influential mainstream American pop singer since Frank Sinatra."
Put on Your Sunday Clothes
Barbra Streisand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because they feel so good,
And they feel like you.
Oh, won't you please let me?
Because they get to me,
They touch me and then move me.
I get to thinking I won't be needin'
I feel the feeling of you
Al1 the way through.
No other feeling will ever do.
Honey, honey,
Can I put on your clothes?
Because they feel so good,
And they feel like you.
They're just like old friends
When we're together.
They comfort me and soothe me.
They're not brand new.
They're a little worn through,
But they're comfy and roomy.
They do something to me,
And when I stay at home,
And you're far away,
I won' t be lonely all through the day.
Honey, honey,
Can I put on your clothes?
Because they feel so good,
And they feel like you.
I feel the feeling of you
All the day through.
No other feeling will ever do.
Honey, honey,
Can I put on your clothes?
Because they feel so good,
And they feel like you,
Honey, honey, honey, hum
The lyrics to Barbra Streisand's song, "Put on Your Sunday Clothes", are about the feeling of connection and comfort that comes from wearing clothes that belong to someone you love. The singer asks if they can put on their lover's clothes, because the clothes feel like an extension of their lover and provide a tangible connection to them even when they're apart. The clothes are described as "old friends" that provide comfort and familiarity. The singer feels the presence of their lover all day through the clothes, which brings them happiness and helps them feel less lonely.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that a physical connection through sharing clothes can be just as powerful as an emotional connection. The act of putting on someone else's clothes is an intimate gesture that creates a connection between two people, even when they're not physically together. The song celebrates the power of a simple act of love to bring joy and comfort to everyday life.

Out there
There's a world outside of Yonkers
Way out there beyond this hick town, Barnaby
There's a slick town, Barnaby
Out there
Full of shine and full of sparkle
Close your eyes and see it glisten, Barnaby
Listen, Barnaby
Put on your Sunday clothes
There's lots of world out there
Get out the brillantine and dime cigars
We're gonna find adventure in the evening air
Girls in white, in a perfumed night
Where the lights are bright as the stars
Put on your Sunday clothes
We're gonna ride through town
In one of those new horse drawn open cars
We'll see the shows at Delmonico's
And we'll close the town in a whirl
And we won't come home until we've kissed a girl
Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out
Strut down the street and have your picture took
Dressed like a dream, your spirits seem to turn around
That Sunday shine is a certain sign that you feel as fine as you look
Beneath your parasol, the world is all a smile
That makes you feel brand new down to your toes
Get out your feathers, your patent leathers
Your beads and buckles and bows
For there's no blue Monday in your Sunday
No Monday in your Sunday
No Monday in your Sunday clothes
Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out
Strut down the street and have your picture took
Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about
That Sunday shine is a certain sign that you feel as fine as you look
Beneath your parasol, the world is all a smile
That makes you feel brand new down to your toes
Get out your feathers, your patent leathers
Your beads and buckles and bows
For there's no blue Monday in your Sunday clothes
Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out
Strut down the street and have your picture took
Dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn around
That Sunday shine is a certain sign that you feel as fine as you look
Beneath your bowler brim, the world's a simple song
A lovely lilt that makes you tilt your nose
Get out your slickers, your flannel knickers
Your red suspenders and hose
For there's no blue Monday in your Sunday clothes
Ermengarde, keep smiling, no man wants a little ninny
Ambrose, do a turn, let me see
Mr. Hackl, Mr. Tucker, don't forget Irene and Minnie
Just forget you ever heard a word from me
All aboard (all aboard), all aboard (all aboard)
All aboard (all aboard, all aboard, all aboard, all aboard)
Put on your Sunday clothes there's lots of world out there
Put on your silk cravat and patent shoes
We're gonna find adventure in the evening air
To town, we'll trot to a smokey spot
Where the girls are hot as a fuse (wow!)
Put on your silk high hat and at the turned-up cuff
We'll wear a handmade gray suede buttoned glove
We wanna take New York by Storm
We'll join the Astors at Tony Pastor's
And this, I'm positive of
That we won't come home
No, we won't come home
No, we won't come home until we fall in love

I used to have Hello Dolly on VHS and would watch it all the time in the early 90s. This takes me back to being a child. ❤

I get energized with this song when I feel uneasy and stressful. The melody is amazingly beautiful and so is the voice of Barbra Streisand. Thanks for posting
this clip.

There is something about that sort of music that makes it a even bigger pleasure listening to it than to modern music.
