What About Today? is the eleventh studio album by Barbra Streisand. Released in July 1969, it is notable as her first recording of contemporary pop music, featuring songs by The Beatles and Paul Simon, among others.
Two singles were released to promote the album: "Frank Mills" (with "Punky's Dilemma" as a B-side) and "Little Tin Soldier" (with "Honey Pie" as the B-side), which managed to reach #35 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary music chart.
Columbia Records re-released the album in 1993, along with ten others newly available on compact disc. The album was not a commercial success, and became one of only three Streisand studio albums not to receive certification for record sales (the others being Barbra Streisand...and Other Musical Instruments and What Matters Most).
