"Jubilation" is a song recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka for his 1972 studio album of the same name. Anka wrote the song with Johnny Harris, who also produced the track. It was released in 1972 as a 7" single by Buddah Records. A gospel song, the lyrics of "Jubilation" find the protagonist preaching about religious themes. Making a moderate commercial impact, it appeared on the record charts in both Canada and the United States. It has since been included on several of Anka's greatest hits albums and covered by The Edwin Hawkins Singers in 1973.
American vocalist Barbra Streisand covered "Jubilation" in 1974 for her sixteenth studio album, ButterFly. It was also released as a single but was substantially shorter than Anka's original version. Commenting on her cover, Anka praised Barbra's vocal capabilities and joked that she "can sing the phone book" if she wanted to.[1]
