Barry White was born in 1944 in Galveston, Texas, USA, and died on July 4, 2003 in Los Angeles. Raised in a suburb of Los Angeles, playing the piano at age 11 in African American churches in their city. Barry made several records in the early 60s, under his own name, Barry Lee and as a member of the Upfronts, the Atlantics and the Majestics. However, work from the wings to succeed as artists, or Felice Taylor Viola Wills. In 1969, White put together Love Unlimited, a female vocal trio formed by Diane Taylor, Glodean James (his future wife) and his sister Linda. He also founded the Love Unlimited Orchestra, a "union" of 40 instruments to accompany himself and the trio, for which he composed and performed arrangements also to direct. Love Unlimited's success in 1972 with "Walkin 'In The Rain With The One I Love", where White played a serious and passionate voice on the telephone, rejuvenated Barry's own career, achieving great success in the U.S. with tracks like " I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby, "" Never, Never Gonna Give You Up "(both 1973)," Can not Get Of Your Love, Babe "and" You're The First, The Last, My Everything "(both 1974), which were also successful in the UK. With these, the artist established a well-balanced formula, where the melodies pop / soul merged with bulky arrangements and the singer's deep voice. Soon the sexual content of the letters began to be more explicit, but although their successes were heard until the end of the '70s, he kept his idolatry through their live performances. The most successful U.S. singer was "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me" (1977), which peaked at 5 in lists. The following year was placed in the top 20 in the UK charts with her version of "Just The Way You Are" by Billy Joel. Later he made several recordings with his wife Glodean, but experienced a period of decline before returning to the top 20 of UK charts in 1987 with "Sho 'You Right." Along with British singer Lisa Stansfield recorded a new version of the success of Stansfield "All Around The World" in 1992. During the '90s, a series of commercially successful albums White gave him the reputation of being more than a cult figure. Also emerged as a minor celebrity on television, making appearances on popular programs like The Simpsons and Ally McBeal. At the beginning of the new millennium, White's health began to deteriorate and died on July 4, 2003.
