When Barry White first burst onto the music scene in 1973--seemingly out of nowhere--he was dismissed by some critics as an Isaac Hayes imitator. Like Hayes (a chart maker since 1969), White had a deep baritone that made him a natural musical "lover man," and even though his physique was a real contrast to the sexy image of Marvin Gaye or an early-'70s Al Green, the multitalented producer, songwriter, and artist knew that he had the kind of vocal style to win over a primarily female audience.

With this, his very first album, White's music clearly had plenty of bedroom appeal. Using the same technique as Hayes, with extended songs that lasted several minutes, White helped put a lock on midnight love anthems. In addition to the pop and R&B smash "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby" and his own standouts, "Back My Yesterday" and "I've Found Someone," White took the Four Tops' "Standing in the Shadows of Love" and turned it into a veritable opus. With swirling strings, arrangements courtesy of Gene Page, and his own Love Unlimited vocal trio providing back up, White's first album was just a taste of what was to come. --David Nathan

5 out of 5 stars Stellar Debut.......2006-02-13

Barry's first (and best) album is utterly fantastic from start to finish. Every track is a classic. I was skeptical of the opening track being a cover (Standing in the Shadows of Love), but was utterly blown away by his smoking rendition. Eight minutes of pure emotion that far surpasses the original. The album's most popular track is of course I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby, a complete funk classic. My favorite on the album is probably the beautiful title track (though it is hard to choose). Bring Back My Yesterday and I've Found Someone are likewise thoroughly excellent. This is one of the strongest debut albums I have ever heard and my expectations were shattered upon hearing it. One of the best soul/funk albums ever recorded, hopefully it will be back in print soon.

5 out of 5 stars Barry makes his debut.......2004-01-19

Barry White flaunted unlimited potential and creativity on this, his 1973 debut album. The cover of 'Standing In The Shadows Of Love' is absolutely On Fire, whilst the two singles 'I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More, Baby' and the title track are just as inviting and powerful as they were decades ago.

Full of beautiful arrangements, muscianship, and his trademark orchestration, The Maestro allows the songs to build up, peak, and slowly let them run down. The other two songs are musically just as impressive, although Barry probably needed to tighten up the lyrics and vocals.

A remarkably advanced sound for a 'new artist', however Barry had been plying his trade and schooling himself on the game for years before this release. A little bit of 'remastering' is needed on this CDs sound, however the album itself is a classic and just a sample of more to come.

5 out of 5 stars Barry White Love's Icon.......2003-03-08

Listening to this CD brought back plenty memories of an era long past. The cuts "I've Got So Much To Give" and "I Found Someone" sound just as fresh today as they did in 1973.
This CD is a must have for any potential love doctor, truly an old school standout and a must have for your collection.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Record.......2000-03-15

you Knew from this disc that Barry WHite was Going to be a Major Force.this disc has the classic Strings&Writing of this Genius.not to mention his Playing,Producing,Arranging&Vocals.I've Got so much to Give is still tight as is I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More.A Great Disc from a True Legend.

1 out of 5 stars not the song I'm looking for.......1999-11-03

This is not the song I am interest. I do not know the name of it, its a very old song by Barry White, I believe. He SAYS a lot "I love you" and there's a backgrouwnd of femenine voices. If you know what song this is please write to me. I've been searching for so long.
