1974 would be a good year for pillow talking "prophet of love", Barry White. His 1973 album, Stone Gon', spent February 2 atop the Soul Album charts thanks to the hit single "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up", a top 10 hit. The 40-piece Love Unlimited Orchestra Barry invented was racing up the pop charts with "Love's Theme" which would peak at #1 the following week.
Two future 1974 singles would also be big hits : "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe " topping both the pop and R and B charts and "You're the First, the Last, My Everything " which would top the soul charts and peak at #2 behind Elton John's "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds".
The #1 soul single this week was "Let Your Hair Down" from The Temptations album 1990 which, like most of the Temps 70's albums, remains out of print.
