专辑介绍
by Stephen Cook
This 1980 release came out half a decade after Barry White's hot run of bedroom soul hits and during a time when the silky, compact production style of disco had left its mark on much of modern R&B music. Sheet Music reveals the downside of the situation with a slew of well-below-the-grade numbers and feeble, redundant grooves. The title track starts things off in desperate fashion as White interjects anesthetized Earth, Wind, & Fire horn riffs over a perfunctory &Rock the Boat& beat. Influence works both ways, though, since Beck used the nasal vocal vamp from the end of this song to comedic effect on his Midnite Vultures cut &Hollywood Freaks.& The disappointments continue on Sheet Music as White warms to &The Theme From Love Boat& on &Lady, Sweet Lady,& turns the already repetitive &I Believe in Love& into an extended mix, and gives calypso a disco turn on &Rum and Coke.& The latter cut does contain one of White's irresistible, sexual-advisory monologues, and infectious grooves do pop up sporadically, but these moments are rare. Barry White is a great soul artist; Sheet Music just happens to be a low point in his strong catalog. For those interested in White's music, pick up his Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 on Casablanca or check out any of his fine, early-'70s releases on the 20th Century label.
