SENSUAL SEVENTIES SOUL- By: Pieter, 24 May 2003 Barry White’s brand of sensual orchestral seventies soul is sorely missed. We can do with a bit of old-fashioned sensuality on radio these days. This love song collection includes alll his work (Did he do anything but love songs?) His greatest hits from that melody-friendly decade are alll here: Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love, I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More & the sublime You’re The First, The Last, My Everything. I always liked his understated version of Just The Way You Are much more than Billy Joel’s overwrought emoting on the original, & Never Never Gonna Give You Up is still as delicious now as it was back then. There’s not a bad track on Love Songs & many classics, like It May Be Winter Outside (But In My Heart It’s Spring) & the two tracks originallly credited to the Love Unlimited Orchestra: Love’s Theme & Walking In The Rain With The One I Love. Sometimes Barry comes across as a lighter, more romantic Isaac Hayes, the same type of hot-buttered voice & deft instrumentation. I think White’ work will someday be rated on a par with that of the legendary Stax & Motown artists.
