Miss Marmelstein

"Miss Marmelstein" is a song composed by Harold Rome, first introduced by Barbra Streisand in the Broadway musical I Can Get It for You Wholesale.

The young secretary Miss Marmelstein is a supporting role in the show; in the song she laments everyone addressing her so formally.

The song became the most memorable part of the musical, with Streisand routinely stopping the show.

This marked Streisand's first appearance on a Columbia Records single.
