The Message Is Love is the self-produced tenth album by American R&B singer Barry White, released in March 1979.[1] It was White`s first release on his own CBS-affiliated custom label, Unlimited Gold, following his departure from long-time label 20th Century-Fox Records, and advance interest was high. The album however proved a disappointment both critically and commercially. However, the album was still certified RIAA Gold. The Message Is Love stalled outside the R&B album top 10 (peaking at number 14)[5] and only reached number 67 on the Billboard 200.[6] The poor performance of the album set the pattern for White`s career slump in the early 1980s, which saw him fail to place any other album on the Billboard Hot 100 during the decade.
