At the peak of her late-'70s popularity, she hooked up with the Bee Gees' Barry Gibb, who himself was basking in his Saturday Night Fever glow. Gibb wrote and produced most of the material on 1980's Guilty, and he supplied background vocals as well as co-leads on two tracks. The results are still completely bewitching. "Promises," for instance, is a lounge-like dance number and Babs sounds simply fabulous--sexy, lighthearted, passionate, playful--all at once. "Life Story" is a wild epic, and "Make It Like a Memory" keeps soaring up and up into a stratosphere of shag-carpeted luxury. Even Gibb's wavering vocals are great--and not a little like a disco version of Mandy Patinkin. And of course, the hits are out of this world: "Woman in Love" and "What Kind of Fool" are titanium-plated classics the likes of which Streisand has not topped since. A guilty pleasure, sure--just indulge. --Elisabeth Vincentelli NOTE: This 25th-anniversary edition reissue includes: CD AUDIO SIDE: Entire Album DVD SIDE: Entire album in Enhanced LPCM Stereo; video programming includes: interview with Barbra and Barry on the recording of Guilty filmed in June 2005; a video performance of one of the songs from the new album Guilty Pleasures; included exclusively on this disc as a preview; "Guilty" live from the TV special "One Voice"; a photo gallery with outtakes from the original Mario Casilli photo session.
