Barry White - Your Sweetness Is My Weakness




Like many people, I really only knew of Barry White as a Simpson's character until his death a few years ago when I started to pay attention to his music. The man's no joke.

Your Sweetness Is My Weakness is a prime example of his songwriting and producing prowess. Barry was not afraid of a full string and horn section and he makes use of them quite adeptly. And, yes, a whole lot of cowbell.

This was released in 1978 on 20th Century Fox Records.

(House music producer Quentin Harris extensively samples YSIMW here.)
