The award-winning singer is once again joining forces with Alan and Marilyn Bergman, the Oscar-winning lyricists that co-wrote her 1973 hit, 'The Way We Were', and the songs for her 1983 movie, 'Yentl'. The famed artist's new album, 'What Matters Most: Barbra Streisand Sings the Lyrics of Alan and Marilyn Bergman', will be released Aug. 23 by Sony Corp.'s Columbia Records.

All the songs on the new release were co-written by the Bergmans with various musical collaborators. The album features Bergman songs Ms. Streisand hadn't previously recorded, such as 'The Windmills of Your Mind'.

The Bergmans, who married in 1958 and have worked together as songwriters for more than 50 years, say that the idea for a tribute album to their work came from Barbra Streisand, who had recorded many of their songs on previous releases.

Alan Bergman says that Barbra's background as an actor and director helps her "place our songs in a dramatic context". "She finds things in our songs we didn't know are there sometimes", Marilyn Bergman says. The composers say they often write songs with Streisand in mind. "I can hear her in my head when we're working on songs", Marilyn says. "She has an iconic voice."

The deluxe edition of 'What Matters Most' will feature 10 previously released recordings of Barbra Streisand singing songs featuring the Bergmans' lyrics, such as 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers' and 'Papa Can You Hear Me?'
