Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording

By the time he hit his stride in 1974 with this chart-topping album, Barry White had firmly established his vocal persona on the contemporary music scene. No fewer than four top-10 R&B hits--two of which had been top-10 pop entries--and two gold albums preceded the release of Can't Get Enough and the man with the deep (and apparently golden) voice was a stealthy force. The allure of White--a Los Angeles native whose early years included a stint as an A&R man with a local record label--lay in his ability to craft relatively simple love songs and embellish them with luxuriant strings, a hard-to-beat rhythm section, and soulful background vocals. The combination is never more evident than on the classic title track and "You're My First, My Last, My Everything," an anthem that seemed to appeal immeasurably to White's ever-increasing pop audience. --David Nathan

5.0 out of 5 stars Give Credit Where Credit is Due, April 29, 2000

Alright, we know that White is a master vocalist, arranger, and lyricist. But, what other pop/R&B artist in the twentieth century played a harpsichord with such passion?

Don't know the instrument? Then, listen carefully to the magnificent "I Can't Believe You Love Me!" Man, this is the BOMB, a perfect blend of orchestration and vocal interpretation!

Hit the REPEAT function and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic '70s Soul!, July 10, 2003

By	Kelli N. "snoops71" (Texas) - See all my reviews

My Mother has had this album since 1974, the year it was first released. I am so thrilled to see it available on CD now! Each song is excellent. Both "Mellow Mood" pts 1 and 2 are superb. Part 1 begins the album, while part 2 brings it to a close. They are perfect to begin and end this album. Barry really knew how to compose music, and this album is a testimony of that. I've loved these songs since childhood, and I still love them today. If you like Barry White and/or really good music, BUY THIS ONE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bittersweet, July 8, 2003

I first purchased this recording back in high school on vinyl when Maestro White was coming into his stride with his melodic stirrings..Now that he has passed his music is even more beautiful with its smooth vocals and flowing instrumentals..My favourite track on this disc is I Can't Believe You Love Me - it is soooo sensuous..I spent this past weekend listening to his music over and over. And even though the man has gone to a greater place, his music and the moods he created will live on in the hearts of his fans forever.....
