BARRY
WHITE
Texan Barry White was born in 1944 and was pivotal in laying the foundation for disco in the late 1960s- early Seventies. After teaching himself to play the piano, the young White made his recording debut aged only 11. Later, he pursued a career in music as an A&R Man for various record labels. This led to production work and the creation of Love Unlimited. The female group enjoyed some success.
Next, White set his sights on working with a male vocalist. He worked on 3 demos which resulted in his being persuaded to record the songs himself. Barry White, recording artist emerged. His debut album 'I've Got So Much Love To Give' was issued in 1973 and topped the US R&B Album Chart. His next 3 albums repeated that achievement.
White's singles frequently reached #1 on the Soul Chart. "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love" also topped the US Pop Chart. During this time, he also created the #1 hit "Love's Theme" for his side project Love Unlimited Orchestra.
By 1977, White had scored 5 Soul Chart #1s. In 1990, he was a guest on "The Secret Garden" from Quincy Jones' album 'Back On The Block'. White collaborated with Isaac Hayes on "Dark And Lovely (You Over There)" in 1992 and with Lisa Stansfield and Chaka Khan in 1999 with "The Longer We Make Love". He topped the Soul Chart one final time in 1994 with "Practice What You Preach".
White's health deteriorated this century. In 2002, he had kidney failure. His trademark seductive deep voice was silenced forever with his passing the following year.
