Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

The mood on 1974's Rhapsody in White, reissued as part of Mercury's Funk Essentials series, is just what you'd expect. Its eight cuts alternate between honeymoon-suite stuff and what sounds like leftover score from Starsky and Hutch--except, of course, for "Love's Theme," the number one pop hit that became a favorite of figure skaters everywhere. Barry White's album in all but name only, Rhapsody finds him taking up the primest real estate on the front cover, writing all but one of these instrumentals, coarranging (with Gene Page), conducting, and providing a handful of his trademark seduction raps. This is romance: "You know what I feel like doin' to you right now?" --Rickey Wright

Anything that's Barry White has to be good. I love his style and way to bring music into the bedroom.

What woman doesn't love this music. I've had my vinyl album since it came out but decided to replace it with a CD. It's old and mostly instrumental but still good. "Barry's Theme" is my favorite. Feeling nostalgic? Like Barry White? You'll enjoy the CD.

Most probably this is the best album ever recorder from Barry White. I do not have enough words to describe the magnitud of the talent of the "Maestro" Barry White to produce and record the music this album contain. Mr. White allow you to enjoy his music with out any vocal ingredient in order you can truly appreciate his genius. I had the opportunity to get this CD recently but I have been looking to get it for many years. I even bought the LP with the same tile and presentation 5 years ago at Sou Paulo Brasil. Now finally it is here for everybody to enjoy it. If you like soul Music and Barry White music this is truly en esencial CD.

If you are a fan of Barry White and his sound you should love this album. Released in 1973 after The Maestro had hit big with his first two albums 'I've Got So Much To Give' and 'Stone Gon', this was an opportunity for him to flex his orchestral talents exclusively to the public, without any vocal distractions.

All of The Maestros albums in his 70s prime were awesome showcases of musical talent, thanks in part to the wonderful ways in which he manipulated the orchestral groove for his songs. This album follows suit and is a beautiful collection of well arranged instrumentals, with Barry occasionally kicking game at the beginning of some tracks. The classic 'Loves Theme' is present, however the Wall Of Sound created throughout this album is just as impressive.

Not an essential, however a great record and a nice companion to the Barry White solo albums released in the 70s. Particularly so for those fiending for some more classic Barry White flava.
