On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever) is a Broadway tune written by Burton Lane with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner for the 1965 musical of the same name. It was introduced by John Cullum on Broadway. The song gained wider fame in the 1970 film adaptation, where Barbra Streisand sings it in three versions on the soundtrack alongside Yves Montand's original film performance and an orchestral version with a live chorus. Streisand's rendition was released as a promotional 7 inch single by Columbia in July 1970, recorded at Samuel Goldwyn Studios in West Hollywood and produced by Wally Gold. The piece is typically performed in the key of E major with a tempo around 126 BPM, and Streisand's vocal range on the recording runs from G3 to D5. Other notable 1960s versions include Johnny Mathis and Robert Goulet, and the tune has appeared in popular culture such as The Peddlers' cover used in Breaking Bad.
