Woman In Love
"Woman in Love" is a song performed by Barbra Streisand and taken from her 1980 album '' Guilty''. The song was written by Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, who received the 1980 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. It is her fourth of four Platinum records, and is considered her greatest international hit.
