"Sheet Music" is the second of White's releases on his own Unlimited Gold label. I remember watching White on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" touting the new "Barry White". After making a noticeable loss of weight, a slimmer and trimmer White performed the first single from the album: the title cut.
And what a song it is: sultry strings, a pulsating bass line, and the wonders of White's vocal chords. With such a powerful release as the album's debut track, I had to have it.
The strengths of the album lie in the orchestra and "the voice". There is a cover of the chestnut "Rum and Coca-Cola" and another highlight is the street-friendly "Ghetto Letto".
Not considered with the finest of his complilations Sheet Music takes a
back seat to no one and nobody. A must pick up, even for the title track alone the maestro at his finest, yet Sheet Music is never played, by any station, andy oldies/tribute station, any one for that matter. A pity indeed. The Big Fella is always in our heart and in our souls.

Barry White - Sheet Music
This is the Godfather of Soul people. Nobody write his own, music, composes, and writes the instrumental background like Barry White. This man does it all. This is why he has the success that hes has in the past, present and future, because Barry does NOT let no one to write his music. His music continue to carry forever and he is the man
SHE'S EVERYTHING TO ME
He is the yoda of songs; a wise man. His words are so sincere, so real.
