The first time I heard this beautiful song I knew it was Barbra Streisand with that distinctive voice but I also thought "It sounds an awful lot like somebody else". Well that someone else is of course the Bee Gees who were at the height of their creative power when they wrote and produced this incredible ballad for Barbra. The brother's breathy chorus played off against Streisand's dramatic soprano climaxes is almost too much of a good thing. Almost. The song spent 3 weeks at number one in the U.S. and became Streisand's most popular single ever.
