Streisand recorded Simply Streisand, released in October 1967, on March 14, 15 and 20th, 1967.
On March 15, 1967 she recorded a version of “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most”, which she used to sing in her nightclub act five years earlier. During the next session on March 20th, Barbra recorded “Willow Weep For Me”, the Ann Ronnell song from 1932. This song remains unreleased as well.
(Above): Columbia released an alternate version of “Stout-Hearted Men” as single #4-44225 in June 1967. The single version of “Stout-Hearted Men” differed from the recording on Simply Streisand because Barbra sang it straight—no Mae West impersonation.
The backside of single #4-44225 was “Look”—an outtake from Streisand's Je m’apelle Barbra sessions.

Note: The record company must submit an album to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) where it undergoes a certification process to become eligible for an award. The process entails an independent sales audit, which calculates the quantity of singles or albums shipped for sale, net after returns. The audit surveys shipments to the entire music marketplace, including retail, record clubs, television sales, Internet orders and other ancillary markets. Based on the certification of these shipments, a title is awarded Gold, Platinum, Multi-Platinum or Diamond status. The data here comes directly from official sources, mainly the RIAA online database.
