Duets is a compilation album by American singer Barbra Streisand, released on November 26, 2002, by Columbia Records. The collection features nineteen duets from Streisand`s career, including two newly recorded ones: `I Won`t Be the One to Let Go` with Barry Manilow and `All I Know of Love` with Josh Groban. The Manilow duet was released as the album`s lead single on November 4, 2002, as a streaming-only exclusive for AOL Music website members.

Streisand and her manager Jay Landers were executive producers for the compilation. Music critics highlighted the album`s duets with Ray Charles, Judy Garland, and Frank Sinatra. Commercially, the album peaked within the top ten of record charts in Denmark and the Netherlands; it also entered the Billboard 200 at number 38 and became certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of 500,000 copies. Duets has gone on to sell 1.5 million records worldwide.

Development and songs
Streisand and Columbia Records released two compilation albums in 2002: the first being The Essential Barbra Streisand, a greatest hits collection largely consisting of the singer`s top-ten and top-forty hits,[1] followed by Duets, a compilation of nineteen duets from her music catalog.[2]

Fourteen out of the album`s nineteen tracks were originally featured on previous Streisand studio albums. The singer included three songs originally performed for other artist`s projects: `I`ve Got a Crush on You` with Frank Sinatra initially appeared on his 1993 Duets album; her rendition of `Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead` with Harold Arlen first appeared on the 1966 studio album Harold Sings Arlen (With Friend); her medley of `Get Happy / Happy Days Are Here Again` with Judy Garland was originally performed live on The Judy Garland Show in 1963.

While eighteen of the album`s songs are duets with other musicians, Streisand`s medley of `One Less Bell to Answer / A House Is Not a Home` is a duet with herself, first released on the 1971 album Barbra Joan Streisand.

Streisand recorded two new tracks for the album: `I Won`t Be the One to Let Go` with Barry Manilow and `All I Know of Love` with Josh Groban. The former track was written by Richard Marx and Manilow, while the latter was written by David Foster and Linda Thompson.[3]

`I Won`t Be the One to Let Go` was released as the album`s lead and only single on November 4, 2002, as an exclusive download for AOL Music website members.[4] Although the track was not released commercially, `I Won`t Be the One to Let Go` was distributed as a promotional CD single on January 6, 2003. With the release handled by Columbia Records, the CD was sent exclusively to United States radio stations and includes the `Radio Version Edit` and `Radio Version` releases of the song.[5]

Sony Music Entertainment reissued the compilation in South American countries with different cover art, but identical track listing, under the title Star Collection in 2013.[6]
