Dont You Want To Know - From The Album: Icon Is Love. Practice What You Preach was nominated for a 1995 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. Babys Home was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, and THE ICON IS LOVE was nominated for the 1996 Grammy for Best R&B Album. He is love and love is he. You are there to be pleased, he to serve. When he says that you and he apart is like ice cream without the cone, this much is clear: he is the ice cream, you are the cone. When he croons Babys Home, you had better believe this: baby is he himself. Barry White pulls this off the same way he always has, not with Madonna-esque moxie, but with Superman sincerity. The man has never uttered an insincere word in his life. In the opener here, he challenges a woman who teased him for too long to quit the games and get on with the love. The only teasing White does for the albums remaining hour is the kind that comes with foreplay, which hes prepared to engage in for way more than an hour. In most of the songs, which average around six minutes, he whispers deep baritone somethings for a verse, then breaks into a laid-back croon over jazzy, funky backing tracks dabbed here and there with strings. Slow and sweet, but always funky. He draws out There It Is the furthest of all, offering a full minute of a single bit of plinking percussion, over which he moans, dont say anything, dont say one word. He hasnt even taken his clothes off, and youve already melted. Recorded at Aire LA Studios, Glendale, California; Flyte Tyme Studios, Edina, Minnesota; Rise Labs and Record One, Sherman Oaks, California. Engineers include: Jack Perry, Barry White, Greg Burton. A very tasty offering from the master of seductive soul music. I was delighted when Barry delivered such a fresh sounding,and musically strong album at a stage in his career when most other artist would have faded. This is classic Barry White,which no BW fan should be without. ENJOY THIS TUNE !!!!!!!!!!! https://youtube/watch?v=2gdPJ8F2wt0
