Barbra Streisand got together with Billy Joel to record a duet of the song "New York State of Mind" for her "Partners" album. Both singers were at the peak of their powers. Their voices were strong, powerful, and full of emotion and longing. Each singer alone was spectacular. Together, they gave listeners goosebumps. The duet became an instant classic.

There is a dramatic backstory behind the "Partners" recording. Billy Joel first wrote "New York State of Mind" in 1976 when he was a young songwriter, not yet as famous as he is now. Although he had already released "Piano Man," he wasn't well known as a songwriter until Barbra Streisand recorded "New York State of Mind" on her "Superman" album in 1977.

That album changed everything for Joel. He became known as the man who wrote the song that Streisand recorded. That's when his fame started to take off, and it has only grown since then.

The song had a special meaning for Streisand. Even though she lived in Los Angeles for a long time, she was born and grew up in New York City, and the city will always have a special place in her heart. She says she will always be a New Yorker. This is a bond she shares with Joel.

Nearly forty years after Billy Joel wrote "New York State of Mind," he was thrilled to have a chance to record it as a duet with Barbra Streisand. They both loved the experience.

Each one expressed admiration for the other's voice. As famous as both of them are, they were gushing like fans when they talked about the experience. Joel said he felt intimidated to walk into the studio, knowing that he was singing a duet with Streisand. Streisand said she was thrilled that Joel had agreed to sing with her.

When you hear the song, you will understand why they were so excited to work with each other. Their voices are amazing, both individually and blended together. Listen for yourself, and experience how incredible their duet is.
