INCREDIBLE CD! This CD is so cool that I had to get two copies. Not one song is a sleeper. In fact, Mr. Barry White's orchestration will lift you into a ballroom with tails and top hat if you may. He is so talented, and short of recognition (unfortunately). This CD is a perfect catch to romance and pleasure. Don't miss it. LAST NOTE..WE ALL WISH MR. BARRY WHITE A SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY. MR. WHITE, YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS. 11.4.02 **Angi**

I bought this CD for one tune, "Love's Theme," that is played a lot on the radio. I adore this tune. I was totally unfamiliar with all the others. After listening to the whole CD, there are 2 other tunes I discovered I adore. The rest is rhythm, rhythm with no real melody. I was disappointed. I love "Love's Theme" because of the rhythm layered on top with a lush melody. Much to my surprise, "Theme from King Kong" is like that as well, with even more emotional appeal. It starts off for about 1-2 minutes with just rhythm, then is elevated to the skies with a FABULOUS melody on top. It is AWE-SOME! That tune alone along with "Love's Theme" makes this CD worth buying. I also very much like "Let the Music Play," though it sounds close to an old disco tune, "Native New Yorker." I do recommend this CD if only for the 3 tunes I like. The rest I skip over.

Barry White is a pure musical genius. The Maestro has shown us that he doesn't have to necessarily sing anything but to have his Orchestra play for him will still set the mood off right. One of my favorite cuts on the album is Can't You See. His music just flows along and you can just "feel the emotion" running straight through you. There is another cut on the CD that a rap group sampled. The Theme from the Together Brothers was sampled for C'mon Ride the Train for the 69 Boyz. Just goes to show you that the music of today is not much creative than it was back then. I wish there were more notable cuts from the Orchestra that was not on this particular CD. But however, this is a MUST BUY for a Barry White fan. Magnifico!!
