I'm gonna love you just a little more baby - Barry White

Barry White never disappoints. He may be best known for his biggest hits 'Can't get enough of your love babe' and 'You're the first, the last, my everything', but this little gem is possibly the most sensual track the man has written and produced.

'I'm gonna love you just a little more baby' was released in the spring of 1973 and reached number 3 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 23 in the UK singles chart. The B-side of this single extends the sensual track just a little more.

Volare - Barry White

You wouldn't think that the American singer with the deep, sultry voice Barry White and the Eurovision Song Contest have anything in common, but they do: in 1991, Barry White covered the Italian entry from 1958, 'Nel blu dipinto di blu', best known as 'Volare'. He wasn't the first either: artists such as Al Martino, the Gypsy Kings and David Bowie had gone before him.

What's even more astonishing is that Barry recorded his version in two languages: Italian and English. The latter is logical, the former... well, less so. Both languages feature in his recording of the song that was issued as a single in 1991.
