Barry White Music:

Editorial Review:
By the time he hit his stride in 1974 with this chart-topping album, Barry White had firmly established his vocal persona on the contemporary music scene. No fewer than four top-10 R&B hits--two of which had been top-10 pop entries--and two gold albums preceded the release of Can't Get Enough and the man with the deep (and apparently golden) voice was a stealthy force. The allure of White--a Los Angeles native whose early years included a stint as an A&R man with a local record label--lay in his ability to craft relatively simple love songs and embellish them with luxuriant strings, a hard-to-beat rhythm section, and soulful background vocals. The combination is never more evident than on the classic title track and "You're My First, My Last, My Everything," an anthem that seemed to appeal immeasurably to White's ever-increasing pop audience. --David Nathan

Can't Get Enough of Your Love Reviews:
A Classic
2009-01-18 - Barry White is a prime example of an artist who is a good singer with a great voice. Those limitations do come through on this CD - it's the *sound* that counts. In the end, he is a master stylist.
This is a concept album by a total artist: singer, songwriter, producer.
Can be considered "rapp" in that White recites poetry over a repetitive (though not monotonous) beat. There's not one risque line - it's all about love, with one person in a private setting.
The signature sound is a carefully balanced violin section, Gospel-styled female chorus, and the great man showcasing his bass voice.
"Your My First, My Last, My Everything" is the big song here, but "Oh Love, Well We Finally Made It" is a real masterpiece, where it all comes together.

Can't Get Enough
2005-12-09 - Oh Barry, you just keep making it feel so real! Your voice takes me into your world, a place of fantasy & magic where I'm lost in what feels like ever lasting romance, every girl's dream. A unique & timeless piece of artistry brought to us by a sheer genius of song writing who knows what a woman wants to hear & most of all just how to say it! Guys, listen & learn from the master who puts us in the mood each & every time! Barry,we miss you so! I could hook a ride on your star forever!

A lot of fun but a bit repititive
2003-08-16 - I remember my DAD having the original 33 which was fun to listen to so naturally this CD is special.

However, Barry White is one of those artists whose songs sound a bit alike after a while. So you can buy a GREATEST HITS collection and leave it at that.

I bought this one for two reasons: MELLOW MOOD Pt. 1 and the introduction on YOU'RE THE FIRST, LAST, EVERYTHING cause that intro was left off on the GREATEST HITS CD.

If you're a long time serious White fan, get this album. Otherwise, a GREATEST HITS album will suffice.

Classic '70s Soul!
2003-07-11 - My Mother has had this album since 1974, the year it was first released. I am so thrilled to see it available on CD now! Each song is excellent. Both "Mellow Mood" pts 1 and 2 are superb. Part 1 begins the album, while part 2 brings it to a close. They are perfect to begin and end this album. Barry really knew how to compose music, and this album is a testimony of that. I've loved these songs since childhood, and I still love them today. If you like Barry White and/or really good music, BUY THIS ONE!

Bittersweet
2003-07-09 - I first purchased this recording back in high school on vinyl when Maestro White was coming into his stride with his melodic stirrings..Now that he has passed his music is even more beautiful with its smooth vocals and flowing instrumentals..My favourite track on this disc is I Can't Believe You Love Me - it is soooo sensuous..I spent this past weekend listening to his music over and over. And even though the man has gone to a greater place, his music and the moods he created will live on in the hearts of his fans forever.....
