The album was a major success for Streisand, propelled by the album's US No. 1 hit single, "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", a duet with American disco singer Donna Summer which underwent a retitling and change of emphasis in order to fit the water theme. Streisand also scored a top 10 US Adult Contemporary hit with the follow-up single "Kiss Me In The Rain."[citation needed]
There are two covers on the album: the 1940s standard "Come Rain or Come Shine" and the Bobby Darin classic "Splish Splash", which features background vocals by Toto lead singer Bobby Kimball.
