I've Got So Much to Give is the debut studio album by American R&B singer Barry White, released on March 27, 1973, on the 20th Century label.
History
The album topped the R&B albums chart. It also reached number 16 on the Billboard 200. The album was a success, yielding two Billboard R&B top-ten singles, "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby", which peaked at number 1, and the title track. Both were also successful on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at numbers 3 and 32 respectively. "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby" was also a hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 23. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD with instrumental bonus tracks on May 4, 2010, by Hip-O Select.
Critical reception
The album received moderate reviews. Stephen Erlewine of AllMusic wrote: "In a sense, his sound is fully formed—there’s no mistaking his velvet baritone or his lush, string-draped surrounding, particularly on the album's closing "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby," a song so seductive it set the pace for the rest of his career".[1] However, the album was criticized for sounding like Isaac Hayes. Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote "White's hustle is to combine Isaac Hayes's power with Al Green's niceness, and he succeeds, in his way, but the synthesis has its drawbacks--tends to compound his humorlessness and mendacity as well.[2]"
