Wet is an album released by Barbra Streisand in 1979. The album is a concept album of sorts with all the songs referring to, or expressing different interpretations of, water. Wet is also the first and the last word sung on the album.
Contents
The album was a major success for Barbra Streisand, due largely to the album's 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 qualify under the water theme.
The third track on the album, "Splish Splash", is Barbra Streisand's cover of the Bobby Darin classic, which featured background vocals by Toto lead singer Bobby Kimball.
Commercial performance
The album peaked at No. 7 on the US, Canadian and Australian charts and has been certified as Platinum by the RIAA. According to the liner notes of Barbra's retrospective box set: Just for the Record, the album also received a record certification in New Zealand.
