AMG Review of Back to Back: Barry White and Isaac Hayes
Andrew Hamilton
All Music GuideBarry White wins this dual with Issac Hayes easily. Back to Back contains five of White's biggest hits, and five from the Black Moses; the Hayes sides represent his Polydor works which were not his glory years. Hayes' fares best on remakes of "Don't Let Go," and "It's All in the Game"; the shaft man tracks' appear over produced and slick; known for epic deep soul thrillers, these have as much to do with pop as soul. The White sides' are all familiar classics inspired by his wife Glodean. I wouldn't be surprise to discover that Barry recorded these love sonnets on his knees. A bargain for the price.
