"'I Am Woman'" is a solo version of the duet "You Are Woman, I Am Man" from the musical 'Funny Girl'. Released as the B-side single with "People", the recording peaked at #114 on the US charts, and also peaked at number 6 on the Cash Box Looking Ahead Singles chart.
This single predates the 'Funny Girl' original Broadway cast recording by three months, and was one of the last Barbra recordings to be produced by Mike Berniker. The recording was arranged and conducted by Peter Matz.
The song was released for the first time on CD in 2002 as a bonus track on the European remastered editions of the album 'People'.[https://www.barbra-archives.info/newpagea86294ea Barbra Archives: People I Am Woman (#4-42965) Released January 1964]
