The Man is the self-produced eighth album by soul singer Barry White, released in 1978 on the revived 20th Century-Fox Records label, which saw its name reverted from 20th Century.
History
The album became White's sixth R&B chart topper and peaked at number 36 on the pop chart. Lead single "Your Sweetness Is My Weakness" reached number 2 on the R&B chart and number 60 on the Billboard Hot 100, while White's cover of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" reached number 45 on the R&B chart and peaked at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart. A third single, "Sha La La Means I Love You", peaked at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart. A cover version of "It's Only Love Doing Its Thing" (with the shortened title "It's Only Love") would be a hit for British band Simply Red in 1989. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD on September 24, 1996, by Mercury Records.
