Sheet Music (Barry White album)
Sheet Music is the self-produced eleventh album by American R&B singer Barry White, and the second release on his own CBS-affiliated custom label, Unlimited Gold. Although it peaked at #19 in the R&B charts, it was a commercial disappointment. "Love Makin' Music" was the most successful of the single releases, peaking at #25 in the R&B charts. White also recorded this track as well as "She's Everything to Me" in Spanish for the Latin-American market as "Mi nueva canción" and "Ella es todo para mí" respectively. The London branch of CBS  Records went for "Rum and Coke" as the second single, but as none of his singles on his new labels had managed to reach the UK Singles Charts, they stopped releasing any further singles off any of his following 4 albums. The Netherlands belatedly released the track "Ghetto Letto" as a single in August 1981, choosing it over White's then current single "Louie Louie". Track listing. Singles. US UK Netherlands Unsuccessful "Barry & Glodean" follow-up album. For White's next LP he went into the studio with his wife Glodean White (née James), former lead singer of his girl  group Love Unlimited who had by now disbanded, to record an album of duets. Released in March 1981 with a lavish cover shot of the couple, taken by photographer Todd Gray, the album and it's three singles "I Want You", "You're the Only One for Me", and "Didn't We Make It Happen, Baby" were White's first to miss the Billboard charts altogether, a fact that White blamed on CBS not pressing enough copies to meet demand. The couple finally appeared on Soul Train, performing the tracks "I Want You" and "The Better Love Is (The Worse  It Is When It's Over)", September 19, 1981, six months after the album had been released, but by then the momentum was lost. White debuted his next single, a cover of Richard Berry's "Louie Louie" on the same show, off his next album "Beware".
