You're The First, The Last, My Everything

Barry White recorded You're The First, The Last, My Everything in 1974 for the album Can't Get Enough at Sound City in Van Nuys, California. White produced and arranged the recording, with Gene Page credited as arranger and Paul Elmore and Frank Kejmar credited as engineers on the album sessions. You're The First, The Last, My Everything became one of White's biggest crossover singles after its 1974 release on 20th Century Records. It reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 1 on Billboard's R&B chart, number 2 on the U.S. dance chart, and number 1 on the UK singles chart. The song remains one of White's signature recordings and a durable popular-culture shorthand for romantic exuberance. Its later prominence was reinforced by television use in Ally McBeal and covers by Howard Brown and Michael Bublé.
