Amazon.com Barry White kicks off Staying Power, his first album since 1994's 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 Similar CDs

Member CD Reviews Joan G. from INVERNESS, FL Reviewed on 8/8/2006... always smooth and mellow. One of his best
CD ReviewsThe Man is back for the second act (no pun intended) Eric Krupin | Salt Lake City, UT | 02/18/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "Having survived his second career as a self-parody (crooning over Arby's sandwiches, saving the snakes of Springfield, etc.), Barry has earned the right to take a moment and reflect on what it all means. The result is this mildly entertaining, oddly Republican record.The centerpiece is a bizarre little tune called "Get Up" which, contrary to one's expectations, is not an exhortation to phallic prowess but rather ye old-fashioned Protestant Work Ethic - i.e. "Get up off your ass and do something." A worthy sentiment, to be sure, but somewhat distracting when attempting to get close to the very special lady of one's choice.There are the requisite number of make-out soundtracks (featuring lyrics like "You're so precious and cute / You're very very sensitive / You like flowers...") but they all lack the purple-satin plushness of his classic stuff. Mostly this is due to the brittle crispness of the contemporary production (i.e. the famous Barry White orchestration, always the most important part of his sound, is reduced to occasional, repetitive, thin, and probably synthesized strings). But one must also acknowledge the unstayable hands of Time. (There's some wisdom Barry didn't get around to.) His duet with the great Chaka Khan finds the lady in reasonably good voice but as they pant and moan about "turning out the lights", "making it right", and so on, I can never help thinking, "These people are old to be my parents."So maybe what F. Scott Fitzgerald meant to say was that there *are* second acts in American lives; they're just never as good as the first."
