Barry Gibb: The Guilty Demos - only available from iTunes

Barbra remembers in Just For The Record: "Barry did most of the instrumental tracks in Miami before we got together to record my vocals...Barry's lyrics were much more abstract than those that I usually gravitated toward, but the melodies were so compelling that I decided to go along with them, and with him...I had the best time ever making this record, as well as the easiest."

Barry Gibb, who developed the songs especially for Barbra, recalled, "I called Neil Diamond to ask what it was like to work with her...My wife told me to do it, or she'd divorce me." In 1980 Gibb told Us magazine, "We set out to make the great Streisand LP that she never made...Barbra sings something once and it's magic. You can't cut into it or mess with it, because each time she sings it's good."

Tied with A Christmas Album, Memories, and Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits, Volume 2 as Streisand's best-selling album to date and a multi-platinum international phenomenon, with over 20 million albums worldwide.
