Armed with his buttery baritone, Barry White oozes sensuality throughout this simmering R&B set. Gene Page's arrangements blend luxurious strings, harpsichord, and honeyed choruses into a sexy, sophisticated gush of ardor that verges on disco without ever going fully four-to-the-floor. The title track boasts close, spine-tingling harmonies, sizzling horn charts, and a deeply funky groove, while "I Can't Believe You Love Me" promises 10 minutes of cheek-to-cheek bliss. "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" is as heartfelt as love songs get, and even the bookending instrumentals smolder tenderly.
