what if Diana had reached out to Barry Gibb in 1980 instead of Nile Rogers and recorded the album that became Streisand's biggest seller the highly acclaimed and loved "Guilty" album ?

Iam a huge fan of the "Eaten Alive" set but some tracks on "Guilty" are superior imho..the title track is a sublime blend of Gibb & Streisand asmooth groove that won a grammy I have no doubt it would have been just as big for Ross

the haunting Woman In Love is harder to imagine in Diana's hands as Striesand gives such an iconic vocal it hit number one close to the time of Diana's upside down..those were the days !

Promises is afun album track that has a mellow-ish groove Diana could have fun with an beautifulsoft but haunting Love Insideis a killer track Miss Ross could have shown her chops in asubtler delivery as Gibb instructed babs to do

the album closes with Make it Like A Memory which in a slight way echoes the classic Ashford & Simspson compositions as it builds a to peak crecendo..

Guilty album kept "diana" LP hitting the top and Ross must of thought highly of it to pursue Gibb for Eaten Alive and Ross is known to admire Streisands moves in the industry

Streisand struggled for top 10 hits after Guilty wereDiana was able topull off half adozen certainly "diana" lp is one of thejewels in her solo career and Guilty would have been another any thoughts ?
