Advantages: Music to make love to........ Disadvantages: bit sad if your listening on your own
All the classics are here...from the walrus of love. Theres 16 tracks most of which are classics, a couple of weak links but thats personal opinion.
Tracks include 'see the trouble with me', 'loves theme', 'let the music play' & 'never gonna give you up'. The CDs presentation is nothing special and the whole thing could be called a cash in....but if you don't own any other BarryWhite albums then this is well worth considering, if you have then theres no point unless your a die hard fan of his.
If your not a big fan of mushy love songs then I'd give this one a miss... it's full of them.
Overall I'd recommend it... its a good product nothing new but still good and cheaper than buying all his other albums ...
Advantages: Good value, immaculate, 4 Star Disadvantages: Language problems
I stayed at the Melia White House hotel in June 2008, on my first trip to London. Finding our way from Heathrow T5 to the hotel, negotiating the underground, was surprisingly easy, as the hotel is situated within 5 minutes walk of Great Portland St underground station, just outside leafy Regents Park. Warren St and Regents Park underground stations are also within 10 minutes walk in either direction.
The hotel may not look a lot from the exterior, however step inside and the reception is bright, airy and spacious. The reception area is immaculate and covered in marble, and expensive looking antiques.
The hotel has 581 rooms over 8 floors (283 Classic rooms, 158 Superior rooms, 28 Triple rooms, 62 Executive Level rooms, 42 Junior Suites, 2 Master Suites, 1 Residential Suite and 5 Disabled rooms).
We were booked into a Classic ...

Wow what a great product.It's so quiet, easy to use, and can be put on a timer!
I never thought I would say this about a White Knight as when I've seen them they look cheap and low rent, and look like they wont last for 5 minutes . But wow, appearences can be deceptive.We bought ours a 3 years ago and have not had any problems since.

Producers: Barry White, Jack Perry, Sean "Puffy" Combs. Includes liner notes by Marc Eliot. STAYING POWER won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance. "Staying Power" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. 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 come down 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 sultry mood 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 pair White with Chaka Khan and Lisa Stansfield, respectively. On both 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 to be heard in the boudoir.
Album Reviews
Q (1/00, p.127) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...as rampant as a stallion...it's nevertheless greatly entertaining, the big man even committing musical adultery with 2 versions of 'The Longer We Make Love', one duet with Chaka Khan, the other with Lisa Stansfield..." Entertainment Weekly (7/30/99, p.75) - "The voice is still deep, the subject matter is still sex, the songs are still long...and the orchestration is still layered, complex and hypnotic..." - Rating: B-
