I have had this album on vinyl, cassette, 8-track, and CD. It is by far one of the best albums that Barry has ever recorded. It's just smooth all the way through

I have been a Barry White fan for over 30 years. His music, his lyrics, his atmosphere is all conducive to what the world needs and we all know that is love. Love is the only thing that can conquer all. Love of music, love of men, love of women, love of children, just plain old love is what Barry White has eluded to all of these years. I love what Barry White has done with music, I love what Barry White has done for society, and I especially love what Barry White has done and continues to do for me presently, reassure me of LOVE.

I would like to quote #3 onthis CD "You're so good, you're bad" Yes, I am referring to BW's CD "sings for someone.." By most considered to be the last great album by BW in the 70's. Definitely a must-have. The full-length version of "It's Ecstacy..." Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!

Every once in a while, A truly great album stands out in an artist's discography. This is one of the many for the "The Man, The Maestro". As soothing as a great liquer, this recording does and says everything that the novice wants to. Curl up to this and absorb it. A 5 star item!

yall know how i do, so i aint even gotta set the atmosphere... i like it when grown folks do they thang, sangin from they hearts about love and desire...

grown folks act with direction and confidence... we dont rely on bein cute for the cameras, over choreographed dance moves, million dollar special f/x or the producer of the song being a bigger attraction than the artist doin the actual singing...
(what is up with music nowadays?)
barry white is a grown man: aggressive, passionate and emotional...his songs reflect that and remind us that love, lust and night-music is best left to the responsible!!
dont let another good night go to waste!
find somebody to enjoy this with before it gets too dark outside!

Unbeknowst to me at the time of the album's release, it came with a choice of two covers: a dark sable fur picture or a lighter-colored one (I got the former). In addition to the respective covers, the "locket" on the cover was removable, allowing the purchaser to insert a photo of himself/herself or his/her beloved.

Oh, the 70's was so thematic!!!

That said, the music is typical White: luscious strings, catchy "bedroom" lyrics, and Barry's unmistakable and alluring bass, perfectly suited for any romantic interlude. The two charttoppers are "Playing Your Game" and "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me"; however, the best track is the last one: "Of All the Guys in the World," a song that needs no explanation in expressing how lucky the singer/giver feels to be a part of the listener's/receiver's life.

White always knew the right chords, musically and lyrically, to strike when expressing romanticism at its best.

I've had this album for years and every time I see it I wonder what I am looking at? Is it a pig's ear or a necklace laying on a hairy man's chest? Whatever it is it grosses me out. Oh yeah, the album is a really good Barry White collection of songs.

Bought the CD for the song "You're So Good, You're Bad". CD was in great shape and arrived as indicated.

This Cd brought back some good memories. I always been a big fan of Barry White and I enjoy listening to all his music my favorite is "You Turn My Whole World Around". The entire Cd is great and I would suggest it to my friends and family. Enjoy the old school sounds. Peace

Let me begin by saying I was one year old when this album released. Unlike other reviewers, the only version I own is the mp3 version. I purchased this album on a daily deal and it quickly rose to the top in my collection. The younger crowd will recognize many beats used in hip-hop and rap. I have owned Barry White's Greatest Hits and I believe that this is an album which has great flow, longer songs, deep cuts, and a consistently sexy 70s feel throughout. Buy it!!
