I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby

Barry White recorded the single in late 1972 and early 1973 with Gene Page handling the arrangement and Frank Kejmar engineering. Ray Parker Jr., Wah Wah Watson, Dean Parks, David T. Walker, Wilton Felder, Ed Greene, and Gary Coleman were among the players on the session. Released as the first single from Barry White's debut solo album, it became his first major solo hit and established the lush, slow-burn sound that defined his career. It reached number 1 on the US R&B chart and number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving White an immediate crossover breakthrough. The track became one of Barry White's signature recordings and set the template for his later orchestral soul hits. Its groove and vocal arrangement have remained widely sampled and covered, keeping it present in hip-hop and soul culture.
