Can't Get Enough is the third studio album by American R&B/disco singer Barry White, released on August 6, 1974 by the 20th Century label.
The album topped the R&B albums chart, his third album to do so. It also topped the Billboard 200 and peaked at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart. The album included two Billboard R&B number-one singles, "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" and "You're the First, the Last, My Everything". Both were also successful on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at numbers 1 and 2 respectively. Both singles were also hits on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at numbers 8 and 1 respectively. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD on March 19, 1996 by Island/Mercury Records.
Village Voice critic Robert Christgau mockingly wrote: "Inspirational Clichés: 'doin' our own thing,' 'different strokes for different folks,' 'rather fight than switch.' Inspirational Emphases: 'very important,' 'very very very very true,' 'truly truly.' Inspirational Epithet: 'hope-to-die woman.' Inspirational Drum Sound: thwop.'"
In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 281 the magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time,[1] and at 283 in a 2012 revised list.[2]
