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."
We Must Be Loving Right
Barbra Streisand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So little joy in their lives.
But wherever we go
Happiness follows.
We must be lovin' right.
It might be the way I adore you.
Or the way that you hold me tight.
I don't know the reason
We must be lovin' right
All of our friends say
Love fades away with time.
But I know they're wrong
'Cause they've never known
A love like yours and mine.
So if the whole world goes crazy
Let everyone else fuss and fight.
When all's said and done
We'll be the lucky ones.
We must be lovin' right.
Some folks got nothin' but troubles.
Oh so little joy in their lives.
But wherever we go
Happiness follows.
We must be lovin' right.
We must be lovin' right.
In Vince Gill's song "We Must Be Loving Right," the lyrics express the idea that the couple singing the song must be doing something right in their relationship. The first verse highlights the idea that some people seem to have only troubles and little joy in their lives, yet wherever the couple goes, happiness follows. The second verse notes that the couple's friends believe that love fades away with time, but the couple knows that their love is different from others. The chorus reiterates the idea that the couple's love is so strong that even in times of trouble, happiness will always follow them. The lyrics suggest that both partners in the relationship are committed to making it work and are willing to put in the effort to maintain the love they share.

Some folks got nothin' but troubles
There are some people who seem to be constantly weighed down by problems

No matter where we find ourselves in life or what situation we're in,
Happiness follows.

We must be lovin' right.

'Cause they've never known
It's clear to me that they haven't experienced or witnessed the kind of love that we share

So if the whole world goes crazy
Even if everything around us seems to be falling apart or going haywire,
Let everyone else fuss and fight.
