I Love to Sing the Songs I Sing is the self-produced ninth album by American R&B singer Barry White, released in August 1979[1] on the 20th Century-Fox Records label.

White was increasingly dissatisfied with that label's management when Russ Regan left the label to form Millennium Records and felt that he was being ignored in terms of promotion at the time.

[5] He then left the company and signed a custom label contract with CBS Records to release future material under his own Unlimited Gold imprint.

White's first album on his new label, The Message Is Love, had been released earlier in the year.

[6] With attention and interest focused on his well-publicized CBS deal, I Love to Sing the Songs I Sing passed by largely unnoticed.
