Produced by Gibb-Galuten-Richardson, and Barbra Goes Disco ain't all. Somewhere in their success-addled minds Barry and Robin saw a chance to return to heartthrob ballads like "To Love Somebody" and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" But after years of writing fluff--great fluff, occasionally, but fluff--they can't match that standard. Lucky for them Streisand doesn't oversing every time out, even floats some of the uptempo stuff--music of the spheres if you consider her voice a platonic ideal, polyurethane disco if you don't. But most of the time she oversings. And when she dramatizes a soap like "Life Story," the mismatch is ridiculous. C+
>>124477460Ha ha oh man, where would Goodwill bins be without Barbra Streisand?
>>124477460That cover looks the setup for a late 70s porno
>>124477460I agree their disco stuff was fun but way cheesier than their 60s material.
>>124478512way better too
>>124477460Even if the album was just the two tracks "Guilty" and "Woman In Love" it would still deserve an A+. But the deep cuts are great too. Cuckgau fails AGAIN.
>>124480023not as if he ever had much use for Streisand to begin with, although he tacitly admitted her 60s showtune period was slightly better than her 70s pop phase
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phh9B1-4EYsI love how they put on here "Ft. Barry Gibb" like some shitty rap track when nobody did that in 1980, besides it would be properly termed a duet and he wrote the song for her. Some crap Millenial intern who probably set this video up.
>>124480208ah yes the very early 80s when everything was still 70s music and the familiar 80s sounds hadn't yet appeared
Guilty won a Grammy and Barry was widely respected and in demand for years afterward as a songwriter long after the Bee Gees' commercial relevance faded. American radio programmers however hated them so much that they banned them for life.
