About Barry White

Barry Eugene White (September 12, 1944 – July 4, 2003) was an American singer and songwriter. A two-time Grammy Award winner known for his bass voice and romantic image, his greatest success came in the 1970s as a solo singer and with the Love Unlimited Orchestra, crafting many enduring R&B, soul, funk, and disco songs such as his two biggest hits: “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe” and “You’re the First, the Last, My Everything”.

White recorded 20 studio albums during the course of his career, but multiple versions and compilations were released worldwide that were certified gold, 41 of which also attained platinum status. White had 20 gold and 10 platinum singles, with worldwide record sales in excess of 100 million records, and is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. His influences included James Cleveland, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, the Supremes, the Four Tops and Marvin Gaye.

In 1973, White created The Love Unlimited Orchestra, a 40-piece orchestral group to be used originally as a backing band for the girl-group Love Unlimited. However, White had other plans, and in 1973, he released a single with “Love’s Theme” (written by him and played by the orchestra), which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Pop charts. Later, in 1974, he made the first album of the Love Unlimited Orchestra, Rhapsody in White, containing “Love’s Theme”. White would continue to make albums with the orchestra, achieving some successes such as: “Rhapsody in White”; “Satin Soul”; “Forever in Love”; “Midnight Groove”; “My Sweet Summer Suite”, Remake of “Theme From King Kong”. The orchestra ceased to make albums in 1983 but continued to support White as a backing band.

Already 20 years without one of the most iconic voices, the hoarse and deep voice of Barry, who sang about love and made dance floors around the world fill with his songs.

Barry was born in Galveston, Texas, they later moved to California, in the ghetto, his mother taught him to play the piano and like many others he began singing gospel songs.

Few people know that the moment that changed Barry’s life was when he heard an Elvis Presley song, “It’s now or never”, imagine that he was also in jail serving a sentence for 4 months after having stolen Cadillac tires. I was 16…

Later, she released her first album with a band called The Upfronts and produced a group of women called Love Unlimited, who had great success with the single “Walkin’ in the rain with the one I love.”

Until the 70’s he began his career as a soloist, he released 20 studio albums and launched his own record company “Unlimited Gold”, with it and as we approached the beginning of the 80’s when the euphoria for disco music was decreasing, in the end he had to dismantle it to avoid financial chaos. Barry would continue to perform successfully for years.

Barry tiene hits memorables como “My First, My Last, My Everythin”, “Let the music play”, Can´t get enough of your love”, “Just The way You Are”, “Never, Never Gonna Give ya up”
One of their biggest dreams was to record with Marvin Gaye and although they were in talks, they did not take into account Marvin’s premature death.

Barry was married twice and had six children. He died on a day like today, due to complications, he had been suffering from high blood pressure and his kidneys for a long time..
