<P> "Happy Days Are Here Again" is a song copyrighted in 1929 by Milton Ager (music) and Jack Yellen (lyrics) and published by EMI Robbins Catalog, Inc. / Advanced Music Corp . The song was recorded by Leo Reisman and His Orchestra, with Lou Levin, vocal (November 1929), and was featured in the 1930 film Chasing Rainbows . The song concluded the picture, in what film historian Edwin Bradley described as a "pull - out - all - the - stops Technicolor finale, against a Great War Armistice show - within - a-show backdrop ." This early example of 2 - strip Technicolor footage was, along with another Technicolor sequence, later cut from the 1931 re-edited release of the otherwise black - and - white film, and is believed to have been lost in the 1967 MGM Vault 7 fire . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> "Happy Days Are Here Again" </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Single by Barbra Streisand </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> from the album The Barbra Streisand Album </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> B - side </Th> <Td> "When the Sun Comes Out" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Released </Th> <Td> November 1962 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Format </Th> <Td> 7 - inch single </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Recorded </Th> <Td> 1962 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Genre </Th> <Td> Pop </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Label </Th> <Td> Columbia </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Composer (s) </Th> <Td> Milton Ager </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Lyricist (s) </Th> <Td> Jack Yellen </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Barbra Streisand singles chronology </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> <Table> <Tr> <Td> "Miss Marmelstein" (1962) </Td> <Td> "Happy Days Are Here Again" (1962) </Td> <Td> "My Coloring Book" (1962) </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
