The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) considers her the top female recording artist of all time.

In response she turned to more contemporary pop and rock on the album Stoney End. The result was a strong critical and commercial hit. The album became her first top 10 in five years, and the title song was her second top 10 pop single peaking at #6. The writer of "Stoney End" is Laura Nyro who is known for writing such pop hits as the Fifth Dimension's "Wedding Bell Blues" and Blood, Sweat and Tears' "And When I Die."

The single returned her to the top of the pop charts and won both an Academy Award for Best Song from a Motion Picture, her second in four years, as well as a Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

Donna Summer was the acknowledged "Queen of Disco" and Barbra Streisand was one of the top female pop singers in the business who had recently hit the top 5 with her own disco hit "The Main Event / Fight." Bringing the two together in the studio was not an easy task and marketing of the song proved even more complicated with it ultimately being released on each singer's record labels separately. The "No More Tears" intro was reportedly added to fit the theme of Barbra Streisand's album Wet. The final product did not disappoint many and went straight to #1 on the pop charts becoming a disco classic. Listen More »
