My Heart Belongs to Me

"My Heart Belongs to Me" is a popular song from 1977 (see 1977 in music). It was originally performed by the songwriter, Alan Gordon, but the more famous version of the song was recorded by the American singer and actress Barbra Streisand.

Released as a single from her multi-platinum 1977 album Streisand Superman, "My Heart Belongs to Me" peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the summer of that year. It also spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, Streisand's fourth #1 song on this survey.^[1]

The song was originally considered for Streisand's film version of A Star Is Born from the previous year, but it was not included on that project. Charlie Calello, the co-producer of "My Heart Belongs to Me", rehearsed the song with Streisand by playing piano while she sang the lyrics. The instrumental portion of the song was recorded first, then Streisand recorded her vocals along with the orchestration the next day.^[2]
