| Barbra Streisand - Guilty Band: Barbra Streisand Tracks: - Guilty - Barry Gibb - Woman in Love - Run Wild - Promises - Love Inside - What Kind of Fool - Barry Gibb - Life Story - Never Give Up - Make It Like a Memory A Bee Gees album with Barbra on lead vocals, but it's great! When this album came out in 1980, Barry Gibb was the 800-pound gorilla of pop producers--everything he touched turned to gold records and top ten hits, basically because every album he produced for another Artist sounded like a Bee Gees record with someone else singing. "Guilty" is no exception. Barbra Streisand knew a hitmaker when she heard one, and the result is the best modern pop album she's ever done. Barry Gibb's wavering voice takes a lot of getting used to if you're not a Bee Gees fan, but "Guilty" and "What Kind Of Fool", the two duets between Barry and Barbra, are pure pop paradise. "Woman In Love" still blows me away after twenty years--it's the perfect match between singer and song (and I'm praying that some overblown diva doesn't decide to do a remake and ruin it forever). The beautifully arranged "Run Wild" will put a lump in the throat of a dead man, while "Promises" is a fun, danceable singalong. There are some down moments, like the oversung "Life Story", but overall "Guilty" has weathered the years well. And what's this about another pairing between Barbra and Barry? "Guilty II", perhaps . . . ? Barbra in the style of The Bee Gees This album is one in a series of Bee Gees productions. Previously The Bee Gees composed and produced for their late brother Andy Gibb. No,Barry Gibb is not intruding in the photos contained in the album although his name does not appear on the cover or the label. He's only Barbra Streisand's producer for the GUILTY album. Two songs were written by all three Bee Gees. They are the title track and WOMAN IN LOVE. Between GUILTY,Dionne Warwick's HEARTBREAKER album and Kenny Rogers' EYES THAT SEE IN THE DARK album,this one had the biggest sales record to date. It still sells well after its release 23 years ago. Barry has writing credit for all Nine songs(some of them were written without the other Bee Gees). The Bee Gees later recorded GUILTY for their ONE NIGHT ONLY concert in 1997. The perfect pop album This album is the best album "pop" by Barbra Streisand. All the songs are perfect. The duets with barry Gibb are both 10. Her voice is 10. This album was nº1, with 20 millions of copies and several hit singles. Best songs; guilty, woman in Love (nº1), the Love inside, what kind of fool and make it like a memory. Also, guilty has the grammy of best vocal performance by duet of the year and other nominations like album of the year, song of the year, female vocalist....PERFECT ALBUM.
