"Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" is a song written, recorded, and produced by Barry White. Released as the first single from his album Can't Get Enough in 1974, the song topped the US BillboardHot 100 and R&B charts and has since become one of his signature tunes. It was his second US chart-topper, after "Love's Theme". It became a gold record in the US. White performed this song live on The Midnight Special in 1974, and on Soul Train on May 24, 1975.
In 1993, the song was covered by Taylor Dayne as "Can't Get Enough of Your Love". When Dayne submitted her planned third album to Arista Records, label president Clive Davis strongly suggested that she remake the Barry White classic to serve as the album's lead single. Produced by David Cole and Robert Clivillés of C+C Music Factory, Dayne's "Can't Get Enough of Your Love" became a US dance club hit, peaking at number two on the BillboardHot Dance Club Songs chart. However, the track evinced a sharp drop in Dayne's profile on the Billboard Hot 100 with a number 20 peak; Dayne's first seven singles had all reached the top 10 but her eighth single, "Heart of Stone", peaked at number 12. "Can't Get Enough of Your Love" was her final top 40 hit with the follow-up single, "Send Me a Lover", being her last Hot 100 entry. The track had more impact for Dayne internationally. In Australia, it spent three weeks at number two in August 1993 and was the 19th best-selling single of 1993, receiving a Platinum certification for sales of at least 70,000 copies. The song also reached number eight in Canada, where it was the 67th best-selling single of the year. Elsewhere, the song reached the top 20 in Belgium, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
The song appears in several episodes of the FoxTV seriesThe Simpsons, including during scenes in "Whacking Day" and "The Last Temptation of Homer". Barry White was a big fan of The Simpsons. He recorded a version specially for the episode "Whacking Day", in which he also appeared as a guest star. The song also appeared in the 1994 clip show episode in one of the clips at the end.
In 1993 Taylor Dayne's version of the song made an appearance in season one, episode three of The Nanny, "My Fair Nanny", playing in the background during the later part of Maggie's party.
The song was heard in season one, episode three of the WB sitcom What I Like About You.
