I Belong to You (Love Unlimited song)

I Belong To You is a 1974 single by trio Love Unlimited, which was their only single to go to number one on the R&B chart and did so, for one week, in early 1975. It was their second and last Top 40 entry, peaking at number twenty-seven.[1] The ballad was done in a retro girl group singing style and was written and produced by Barry White. Mariah Carey's "It's a Wrap" samples the song on her 2009 Island Def Jam album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. [2]
