Free Music Notes for Barry White : All-Time Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: A MOST SEDUCTIVE COLLECTION OF HITS
Hit: 5 Stars
If you ever feel romantic and decide to fill half your CD changer with recordings that set in the mood, there are three specific recommendations I have: Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On, Al Green's Greatest Hits, and Barry White's All-Time Greatest Hits. I would suggest three other CD's to fill up the changer and thus make a perfect 6-CD collection, but I'm afraid that nothing else immediately comes to mind.What makes Barry White's Greatest Hits so great is that the theme of each song is consistent. And that theme is hot romance to the max. Barry White has been able to deliver the message of love as only a true gentleman can. He commands it in a deep baritone voice that can drive the women wild as opposed to those squealing falsetto attempts that never really made it to first base.
Essentially a very thorough compilation of his 20 biggest singles that runs over 75 minutes, Barry White's All-Time Greatest Hits is missing very little. There may be slightly different arrangements in the original LP versions that some listeners might prefer otherwise, but for those who want a definitive collection of Barry White's works, this is about as good as you will ever get.
And some might say that unlike David Lee Roth's A Little Ain't Enough, you definitely can't get enough from this one particular disc. But let's be thankful that we do have this assortment, anyway.

Hit: 5 Stars
This compilation of songs is certain to put you in a melancholy mood. Barry has a subtle way of letting the woman he's talking to know exactly what he wants, without getting straight to the point too quickly. He tantalizes the senses, soothes the spirit, and calms the inner chaos, ever so slowly and deliberately.
The essence of soul is captured in this collection of grooves by the Maestro. Not only does his smooth bass voice resonate in the hits such as "Can't Get Enough... and "My First, My Last, My Everything." But he also slows it down on "Oh What A Night for Dancing," as well as an excellent cover of Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are." If by chance you are the casual Barry White fan, You may not want to get to close, this disc will bring out the true Barry lover in you. It's White's intention that you should be with the one you love or for the one you want to swoon.
What more need be said; of the master of the love ballad. The strings & horns blend themselves very well into his work of art. Mister Barry White has the charm to soothe the savage beast in anyone! So "Heres" to the master of Swoon!!! Mister Barry White!!!
O and again...... Barry Whites "All time greatest Hit" is a pleasant package that should arrive to your destination.
Free Music Review: The Bard's Best
Hit: 5 Stars
I have to admit that I'm not a disco fan. As a matter of fact, I pretty much hate it. But there was one singer of this genre who I could always listen to : Barry White. Covering the years 1973 to 1978, "All Time Greatest Hits" chronicles his career as a solo artist and with his famed Love Unlimited Orchestra. All the hits are here, from the luscious "Love's Theme" to the smooth grooves of "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More, Baby" and "Never, Never Gonna Give Up" to the naughty piano intro of "It's Ectasy When You Lay Down Next To Me". Of course, the late Mr. White's two biggest hits are here, the inescapable "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe" and the ethereal "You're The First, The Last, My Everything". Both sound as crip and original as they did in 1974. White also vocally examines the softer side of love with "Oh, What A Night For Dancing" and an excellent version of Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are". In fact, this one song alone is worth the price of the cd.
Whether you're a fan of disco or you just love Barry White and you don't have this cd, take my advice and buy it as soon as possible.
Free Music Review: Classic dance songs and bedroom ballads from Barry!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have heard this album several times since it came out in the '90s. They did a smart job compiling the hits from Barry White in the '70s. When I first heard him in 1978, I thought he was a new singer with that hit Ecstasy and You're The First, and I'm Gonna Love You. But little did I know that he had 5 years of hits at that time. And some of those songs were hits in 1973 and 1974, his two biggest years. Barry could do disco so very well and could smooth it out on those sexy bedroom ballads. He gave Isaac Hayes and Ron Isley of the Isley Brothers some stiff competition during that time. I like how he included some songs from the gorgeous Love Unlimited Orchestra on this album. Along with the hits, he included some songs that made it to #23 or #24 on the charts. And those songs are just as impressive as the No. 1s and top 5s. He was an excellent artist, arranger, musician and producer, a class act. He passed away in summer 2003, but his music will always live on in my mind. This is a fabulous collection covering his best musical period.Free Music Review: Best Songs From One CD!

The late Barry White was the one voice easily recognizable during the early 1970s. Just listening to his bedroom lyrics of love would send chills to your spine! As far as a hits collection goes, it was done correctly. All his Top 40 hits from the 1970s are included along with R & B chart entries. Plus, the songs do work together as a team and even the irony of this collection involes two hits from Love Unlimited Orchestra! This works one of two ways: 1) It will save the buyer (perhaps the casual fan) from buying The Best Of Love Unlimited Orchestra from the same label or 2) on the downside, the fan will complain "Isn't this suppose to be about Barry White, the SOLO artist?" True, and if that's the case, then omitting "Love's Theme" and "Satin Soul" could have been replaced with "I Found Someone" and (maybe the ulimate love intro dialogue) "Love Serenade"!
There are several pictures and liner notes along with song credits and chart entries are included.
