Way back in 2014, Bublé paired up with the fabulous Barbra Streisand for an extraordinary studio performance of the Frank Sinatra classic “It Had To Be You.” Putting these two singers in the same room together seems like a recipe for something genuinely special, and the final product didn’t disappoint.
On July 15, Bublé commemorated the 10th anniversary of when he and Streisand recorded their unbelievable performance with a timely social media post.
“Believe me when I tell you, it’s been 10 years and I’m still starstruck,” the upcoming Voice Coach wrote.
The respect and admiration goes both ways; in the video, Streisand also admitted to being blown away by Bublé’s talent and professionalism while in the studio recording “It Had To Be You.”
“You can just tell by his attitude, his voice, his freedom, his sense of self… and so we can play. ‘OK, you do this, I do that’… Somehow, I made a mistake, and I sang his part… and somehow these wonderful accidents happen,” Streisand attested.

The pairing was a smash hit, but we still can’t get over how genuinely sweet Bublé was as he gushed about sharing a studio with the legendary artist.
“God kissed her throat, and she’s blessed with this beautiful voice, but I think what makes people fall even more in love with her is her ability to tell a story, and I guess that’s the actress within her,” Bublé said.
Everything to know about “It Had To Be You” by Frank Sinatra
“It Had To Be You” was another classic song that Sinatra covered over his illustrious career that was so impactful that many people think he wrote it himself.
Originally written in the early 1920s by Gus Kahn with music by Isham Jones, the track didn’t become popular until Sinatra brought it to the forefront of the American public’s mind. Sinatra’s version was released in 1980 as a track from his 55th (!) studio album, Trilogy: Past Present Future.
