4.0 out of 5 stars Blended as only "The Maestro" could do!, January 26, 2002

Surprisingly, this should have been the one that catapulted White back into the forefront of R & B. That honor would be bestowed, however, to the follow-up release "The Icon is Love."

Regardless, though, "Put Me in Your Mix" is characteristically Barry: heavy on the sexual connotations and heavy background orchestral arrangements featuring the patented sultry strings that so permeate his music. The first cut "Let's Get Busy" sets the tone for the delights to follow.

And there are many!! From the throbbing "For Real Chill" to the reworking of the classic "Volare'" to the title cut with its classic line "I can make your toenails curl," White captivates like no other vocalist.

A double pleasure is the pairing of White with fellow bass Isaac Hayes on the ten-minute plus "Dark and Lovely (You Over There)".
WARNING: DO NOT PLAY THAT ONE WHERE PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS PROMOTED!

How in God's name did the world sleep on this release? Every song on this disc could be (and very well should have been) a number one hit. My best in 'That's my jam order' - 7, 2, 3, 1, 8, 6, 4, 5, 10 ,9.

This disc will never get old - just like Barry's music. Pick it up and prove me right!

The interesting thing about this album is that I purchased it after purchasing "The Icon Is Love". I liked Barry's spin on Volare, and like any true romantic, his "Dark & Lovely" duet with Issac Hayes for over 10 minutes put the exclamation put on the album and on any lovemaking night for a set tone. I truly can't get enough of my idol; for it was Barry White (through this album and countless others of his that I possess) who makes up 90% of my romantic nature. So anyone (especially a female) who dislikes or despises Barry White might as well lay claim to disliking or despising me too, and once again, that's your prerogative, your fault, and your loss.
