Today's Morning Edition music is from Barbra Streisand and "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane singing "Pure Imagination."
It's a song that was first sung by Gene Wilder in the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."
This version is from Streisand's new album "Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway," a collection of duets with actors including Hugh Jackman, Alec Baldwin and Melissa McCarthy. The album debuted this week at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart. It is Streisand's 11th No. 1 album.
