"I Finally Found Someone" is a song duet from 1996 with Bryan Adams and Barbra Streisand. The song was part of the soundtrack in Barbra's self-directed movie The Mirror Has Two Faces and was nominated for an Oscar. It reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving her her first significant hit in almost a decade and her first top 10 hit on the Hot 100 (and first gold single) since 1981.
"I Finally Found Someone" was included on a new issue of Adams's album, 18 Til I Die, which had a purple cover instead of orange.
The CD single is unique for Streisand fans as it contains a rare Spanish language version of her 1976 song Evergreen.
It was included on the album All Time Greatest Movie Songs, released by Sony in 1999.
