Barry White: Your Sweetness is My Weakness
Barry White is to sex what the Kodiak is to bears: without equal. It's a testament to good songwriting and the powers of a baritone range that you can still get laid even if you are a giant four-hundred human hamburger.
This is a tune for any occasion. From the delicate, snowflakes-falling-on-the-windowsill tenderness of the Fender Rhodes at the song's start, to the all-out climax midway through, where Barry's risking a heart attack to deliver the song's powerful message, it is a whirlwind tour through a funky lovescape; a magic carpet ride to a better world where men like Barry ride white horses on windswept shores and never die.
