Background

 
Barry White in 1974

White recorded three song demos of himself singing and playing the piano, and he told his business partner Larry Nunes about the song, who convinced White to re-record and release it. Appearing with White on the recording session for the song were guitarists Ray Parker Jr., Wah Wah Watson, Dean Parks, and David T. Walker; drummer Ed Greene; bassists Wilton Felder and Nathan East; and vibes player Gary Coleman.[2]

Reception

The single earned the gold certification (500,000 units sold) from the Recording Industry Association of America on June 6, 1973.[3] Food writer Adrian Miller in his 2013 book Soul Food declared the song as his "personal choice" of songs by Barry White whenever a hot sauce, which Miller said "is about seduction", would come to mind.[4]

Usage in the media

In 2020, Summer Walker recorded a cover of the song for Birds of Prey: The Album.[5] Additionally, the Barry White version appears in the film. The song also appears in an episode of Friends and has appeared in several films and comedy sketches involving seductive or sexual scenes.
