Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Barry White kicks off Staying Power, his first album since the 1994 The Icon Is Love, with a title track that boasts of his long-running stamina, both in bed and in terms of his career. Indeed, the mood here is often as reflective as it is seductive. While sticking close to the machine-tooled groove that helped make Icon's "Practice What You Preach" such a memorable single, the disc also finds White putting his low-register stamp on War's "Low Rider" and Sly Stone's "Thank You" (the latter in a version that, intriguingly, recalls the slow There's a Riot Goin' On take more than the better-known hit). Staying power? Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it. --Rickey Wright

CD Description
The man with the deep, velvety voice capable of making women melt at a thousand paces returned in 1999 with another slice of sensous R&B. White was the original Love Man, the one who taught the moves to every would-be mack daddy who's comedown the pike since he appeared on the scene in the '70s. As befits one with so luxurious a voice, White intones over mostly slow-to-midtempo grooves, and the long tracks leave plenty of space for White's larger-than-life voice. The sultrymood does kick up a notch occasionally, though, as on the percolating, funky version of War's '70s hit "Low Rider". There are two versions of "The Longer We Make Love", which pairWhite with Chaka Khan and Lisa Stansfield, respectively. Onboth of these, White trades lines with his partner in a manner suggestive of his most evocative '70s hits, despite the very contemporary-sounding arrangement. White makes good on the album's title, proving himself the singer most likely tobe heard in the boudoir.

4.0 out of 5 stars He's still THE MAN!, 26 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Although there are not the soaring strings and horns of yore on this album and even though a diehard fan like me dislikes a couple of tracks intensely it still works. The title track is a slow burning stunner and it's followed by some typically captivating rhythms and of course that VOICE. It's only towards the end of the album that things are spoiled by LOW RIDER to which BW's voice is totally unsuited. This is followed by Thank You and SLow Your Roll - again two disappointing sounds which prevent it from getting a full five stars. But if you like your soul soft and mellow like a fine brandy you will enjoy enough of this album to make it worth your while.
