If the one-disc All-Time Greatest Hits leaves you panting for more, but the three-disc box set Just for You proves that one can, in fact, get enough of Barry White’s love, well, then the two-disc Ultimate Collection is the anthology for you. An entire slow-jams industry has been erected in White’s wake, but no one has done it better. Call it “funkzac”–an inimitable fusion of lush strings and suave brass dancing on a bed of funk and disco rhythms, with the manly maestro mixed prominently atop his seduction soundscapes. Ultimate Collection serves up enough cherry Barry to produce another baby boom. –W.C. Sweeney

Critics may contend that Barry White passed his hit-making peak in the late ’70s, but the man with the righteously real, deep-down-in-the-vocal-basement tones shocked all the nonbelievers in 1994. Thanks to “Practice What You Preach,” the major hit single from this collection, White proved that he was far from being down with the count. Written and produced by White with Gerald Levert and his musical partner Tony Nicholas, the song not only found favor with White’s existing audience, it had enough contemporary appeal to win the pop and soul legend some new fans, giving White’s recording career a much-needed jolt. White also used the services of other current musical hit makers for the project: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis cowrote “I Only Want to Be with You” and “Come On,” a pair of strong tunes for the album. However, White is at his bedroom best on “Baby’s Home” and “Whatever We Had, We Had,” most definitely a throwback to his earlier work as a ’70s chartbuster. –David Nathan

Chic’s third album finds the band working at full power on “Good Times,” a disco anthem with touches of wistfulness and a hint of mortality. As always, the rhythm section’s interplay is tight and inventive, while songs such as “My Forbidden Lover” and “Can’t Stand to Love You” further stretch the perimeters of the Chic style and its emotional possibilities. –Rickey Wright
