"Barry White Sings For Someone You Love" is the self-produced 7th album by soul singer Barry White, released in 1977 on the 20th Century label. The album topped the R&B albums chart, White's first to do so since 1975. It also reached #8 on the Billboard 200, his second to reach the Top 10. The album was a success, yielding two Billboard R&B Top Ten singles, "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me", which peaked at #1, and "Playing Your Game, Baby". "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next to Me" was also a hit on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #4. A third single, "Oh, What a Night for Dancing", reached #13 on the R&B chart and #24 on the pop chart. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD on September 24, 1996, by Mercury Records. The original vinyl album was released with three different covers. In addition to the beige fur with black letters cover shown above, the LP was also issued with dark brown fur and grey fur. Each of these covers had White's name and the album's title in white letters, and are harder to find than the more common light brown fur with black letters cover.
