Guilty

Barry Gibb's writing and production partnership with Barbra Streisand gives Guilty its distinctive blend of vocal power and soft-edged rhythm. His harmonies and duet appearances are part of the record's character, but Streisand remains its centre, shaping long melodic lines with unusually clear diction.

“Woman in Love” turns restraint into tension before its chorus opens out. The title duet and “What Kind of Fool” let the two voices play more directly against each other. Those changes keep the polished arrangements from becoming a uniform backdrop.
