(1962)"Miss Marmelstein" is a song composed by Harold Rome, first introduced in the musical "I Can Get It for You Wholesale" by Barbra Streisand in the minor role of secretary Miss Marmelstein. In the number Miss Marmelstein laments that no one calls her by her first or second name. The song became the most popular part of the musical.[1]
The song was released as a promotional only single to radio in April 1962 with "Who Knows?" (performed by Marilyn Cooper) on the b-side. This marked Streisand's first appearance on a Columbia Records single.
Streisand's first name was misspelt on the vinyl as Barbara.

In 2000, Barbra performed the song on her "Timeless Tour" and a live recording was included on the live album "Timeless: Live in Concert", and the accompanying DVD release.
