Personnel edit

Notes edit

Je m'appelle Barbra contains Streisand's first songwriting credit, for "Ma première chanson".

This album marks the first time Streisand collaborated with Michel Legrand, who arranged and conducted most of the album.

The album cover was photographed by Richard Avedon.

A song called "Look" was also recorded for this album, but was used as a b-side to the single: "Stout-Hearted Men" from Barbra's next album Simply Streisand (1967).[2]
