What About Today? is the eleventh studio album released in July 1969 by Barbra Streisand. It is considered to be her first attempt at recording contemporary pop songs and features songs by The Beatles and Paul Simon, among others.
Two singles were released to promote the album, one for the song "Frank Mills" (which had "Punky's Dilemma" as a B-side) and "Little Tin Soldier" (which featured as a B-side, the song " Honey Pie"), which managed to reach #35 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary music chart).
In 1993, it was re-released as part of the "Barbra Streisand Collection", a collection in which Columbia Records released eleven albums of the singer in compact disc. The album was not commercially successful like previous Streisand releases and became one of only three studio albums by the singer (the others being Barbra Streisand...and Other Musical Instruments, What Matters Most) not to receive record certification for sales around the world.
