This was to be her break-through album of pertinent '60's songs. But as she sang them with the same perfection and gusto that makes her shine, "Stony End" instead became the album that had her, in fact, singing the hip-funkier style of the era that she had previously kept clear of. There are some really great tracks, though on "What About Today"...this being one of them.
I loved this album when I was a kid but never quite got on with the remastered CD when it was released; sounded too different & some of the songs were faded too early - like this one. Still a great tune!
WHAT A VOICE.

This album is still a good as the day I bought it. I have the record album, the 8 track, cassette, CD. Wish they had the making of it on DVD.

Almost 40 years on and still just as true.

Wonderful song.
The lyrics are just as true, tragic and pertinent this second as when "What About Today?" was released.

This is a beautiful piece from this album, sung with the typical emotion and articulation from Barbra...
Very pretty, very sad at the same time.
"What About Today?" is a fabulous album.
