Barry White*** Staying Power (BMG/Ariola) Finally! Barry White, alias “Mr. Love Man,” the crooner with the world’s most erotic voice, is back after a five-year absence from the pop music scene. Staying Power, his latest CD, incorporates the heavy-set Texan’s usual moans, groans and baritone pillow talk into jam sessions with a host of music’s biggest names — Queen Thug, Puff Daddy, Chaka Khan and Lisa Stansfield, to name a few. White’s album is classic soul à la Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye — church choir meets bedroom. Fans take note: White will be touring Germany for the first time in ten years in November.
