History

After steadily declining commercial success with his Unlimited Gold-label, he experimented with a more synthesized R&B sound on the new album. The title track saw him hit #12 on the R&B charts, his first Top 20-placing in 4 years in the US. The second single "Passion" stalled at #65.[1] A slimmed down Barry White performed "Change" and "I've Got the Love Fever" at Soul Train where White told host Don Cornelius that the album was "devoted to young people in America." The album saw him return to the Billboard charts for the first time in two years, peaking #148, and reaching #20 on the R&B charts.

CD reissues

The album was released on CD for the first time in 1993. In 1996, Japan re-issued the album on a gatefold miniature LP-replica compact disc.[2]
