Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0731452245922 Label: Island / Mercury Manufacturer: Island / Mercury MPN: 522459 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Island / Mercury Release Date: June 07, 1994 Studio: Island / Mercury Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: For those music buyers who have enjoyed Barry White's music since the early 1970s but may not be devoted enough for the three-CD box set Just for You, this 20-track compilation brings together all of White's major chart hits between 1973 and 1979, along with a couple of entries from his Love Unlimited Orchestra. White's distinctive vocal style--a deep, resonant baritone-bass that oozes sex appeal--was the icing on the cake for those hits; superlative string arrangements (courtesy of the late Gene Page) encased White in a lush setting, while White's hand-picked rhythm section (which included many of Los Angeles's top session players) created a groove that was hard to beat. The combination was lethal: hits like "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up," "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe," and "You're My First, My Last, My Everything" made White a chart staple and an early king of disco; his skill as a vocal interpreter was fully evident on a 1979 reading of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are," another standout on this collection. On the evidence of that track alone, it's hard to believe that, according to legend, White never planned to be a recording artist in his own right and would have been happy to remain in the background as producer and songwriter! --David Nathan Amazon.com: The most hot-buttered of all soul singers, Barry White is an artist whose CDs come with a purpose. To say what that purpose is, is not for a family Web site--but it involves that thing that Mommy and Daddy do at night with the bedroom door closed. All-Time Greatest Hits collects the essential White and Love Unlimited Orchestra tracks onto a packed CD. Are 20 cuts too much? Not with Viagra. That's a kind of medicine that grownups take. --Gavin McNett Average Rating:
 Rating:  - NEEDS NO INTRODUCTIONMR. BARRY WHITE NEEDS NO REVIEW..ANY ONE WHO IS ANYONE KNOWS WHATS UP !! A MUST FOR YOUR RIDE IF YOU ARE A REAL PLAYER. Rating: - Satin Sheeted Romance MusicThe man who taught me my way around a mixing board used Barry White's "Let the music Play" for his theme song. On the wonderfully inventive comedy Ally McBeal, Barry White music was a central theme. In one of the offices I work in regularly this album is in heavy rotation for mellow background music. But let's face it, music that can make a man the size of the late Mr. White into a sex symbol, is the kind of music that can get your sweetheart in the mood for love. This album has most ...

Stunning orchestral arrangements that blended popular music to the incredible beauty of so many different instruments which allow the emotions his music creates to soar into the grandness of his presentation. He had such a broad range of talent. His wonderful voice presents us with the deep richness any woman would love to be sung to with; but he also sings the lyrics with feelings that leads you to believe he understands the emotions he is singing about. ...
