Barry White

Advantages Music to make love to........
Disadvantages bit sad if your listening on your own

...All the classics are here...from the walrus of love. Theres 16 tracks most of which are classics, a couple of weak links but thats personal opinion. Tracks include 'see the trouble with me', 'loves theme', 'let the music play' & 'never gonna give you up'. The CDs presentation is nothing special and the whole thing could be called a cash in....but if you don't own any other Barry White albums then this is well worth considering, if you have then theres no point unless your a die hard fan of his. If your not a big fan of mushy love songs then I'd give this one a miss... it's full of them. Overall I'd recommend it... its a good product nothing new but still good and cheaper than buying all his other albums... Read review

Disadvantages Some not so great songs

One of Elton's poorer songs, but I am one that believes Elton never has a poor song, so I would say that yes it is worse than his other songs but it is still a good song. iT's very slow, and sad. It talks about how people are writing love songs, butnot for him and how he was a fool to fall in love.He has split with his girlfriend and is sad. It is obviously Elton John as he has a very recognisable voice. The vocal, of course, is great, but the lyrics and tune bring it down. 3. You're the first, my last, my everything - Barry White Another famous guy, and this time, a very famous song... Read review

Advantages Easy listening, very sexy
Disadvantages Pretty much all sound the same

...Barry White orchestrated many couples get togethers 30 odd years ago and I'm not embarrassed to say I bought a recent compilation CD of his purely as a "feel-good" factor and to bring back lots of fantastic memories. I don't guess too many men have bought his music for themselves anyway, but a few may have put him in their collections to get the lady in the mood. I remember when I first saw him after I had been a fan of the music for some time (we didn't have music videos then) and I was gobsmacked that this big fat black man had been the stuff of my fantasies! There are no clever lyrics, Barry White doesn't re-invent himself each new album and in fact as he openly admitted himself he followed a tried and tested path everytime and that was to sing about love. I shan't miss the voice because of course I shall continue to play my... Read review
