Staying Power
Staying Power is the twentieth and final studio album by American R&B singer Barry White, released on July 27, 1999. The album was White's first release for five years, and his only recording for the Private Music label, with whom he had signed following a four-album deal with A&M which had culminated in 1994 with the acclaimed The Icon Is Love, his most successful album since the 1970s. - Wikipedia
Critic Reviews

Rolling Stone
His long-awaited Staying Power doesn’t skimp on orchestration, but it’s often lost in a mix that tries to step to the digital present.

Nevertheless, once the album is completed, it's hard to remember any of it, even if it was enjoyable as it spun. Which means Staying Power is a standard-issue iconic release -- it's classy and entertaining but doesn't add to the legacy.

Entertainment Weekly
With its dinky-sounding drum machines and fuzak synth, Staying Power sounds woefully wimpy compared with White’s lavish symphonic ’70s recordings.

Barry White truly does have staying power.
