Guilty is the twenty-second studio album by American singer Barbra Streisand released on September 23, 1980, by Columbia Records. It was produced by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees and his group`s regular production team of Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson.

Streisand released a sequel to this album, Guilty Pleasures, in 2005, also produced and largely written by Gibb. Both albums can also be considered partial-collaboration albums, since Streisand not only did two duets with Gibb, but Gibb could also be heard as a background vocalist in a few other songs solely by the artist herself, along with the fact that both singers were on the cover for both albums issued. The album sold over 12 million copies worldwide.

Background and production
After the huge success of the Bee Gees in the late 1970s, Gibb began to focus on writing and producing songs. Streisand approached Gibb to write songs for her new album—initially he was going to write or co-write only half the album, but the process went so well he ended up doing the entire album. All the songs were written expressly for Streisand except `The Love Inside`, which Gibb wrote over a year before.[1]

Two songs (`Secrets` and `Carried Away`) were written for the album but not used. Both appear on The Guilty Demos, which features Gibb singing the songs he wrote for Streisand. The outtake songs would later be recorded and released by Elaine Paige and Olivia Newton-John respectively.

Singles
The lead single `Woman in Love` became one of the most successful songs of Streisand`s music career and spent a total of three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Two other singles were released, which also peaked within the top ten on Billboard Hot 100: the title track, a duet between Streisand and Gibb, won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1981, released as a second single for the album, and became an instant hit, peaking at number three, and `What Kind of Fool`, another duet with Gibb, reached number ten for three weeks. The fourth single, `Promises`, a more disco-oriented track released in May 1981, reached as high as number 48 in both the U.S. and Canada. It was a much bigger Adult Contemporary hit in both nations, reaching number eight and number five, respectively.[2] This song was also released on Streisand`s first commercially released 12` single as a solo artist following her 1979 duet with Donna Summer, `No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)`, and two promotional singles released for `Shake Me, Wake Me (When It`s Over)` in 1975, and `The Main Event/Fight` in 1979.
