BARBRA STREISAND stunned BARRY GIBB on Tuesday night (15May07) by taking time out of her schedule to phone in a message congratulating the Bee Gees star on his latest accolade.
Gibb was surprised with a BMI Icon honour at the music organisation's annual gala, which was announced by Streisand via a video message.
The diva explained she had hoped to be at the event - to pay tribute to her old friend personally - but she was working on her upcoming concert DVD and couldn't get away.
Streisand said, "Barry, can you believe it's been 27 years since we made Guilty?"
