Happy Birthday Barry White.
Your voice was nothing more than sex. A huge pillow of satin sheet covered bass.
Errr… right awwwwn.
Barry was borderline comedic. Those smarmy pick up lines and romantic cliche’s, that have made him so widely (no pun intended) imitated, For as much as he oozed tacky is as brilliant were his renditions of songs such as “Just The Way You Are”, seriously, Mr. Joel pack up your piano and go, Barry got this one.
When Barry sings he cant get enough of your love Baby, he freakin means it. The spoken word is so dated, so ‘Good Times” but as I play it right now. You can feel it (and there’s a cowbell too!!)
I quite literally want to get the disco ball out and invest in a round bed. “I scream your name, look what you got me doin'”.
“I’ve Found Someone” is the slowest admission of honest love I may have ever heard.
“Never thought I’d find someone who’d blow my mind..yea Like you do. And never thought I’d see the day
That it could be so true yea”
Yeah g’head laugh at the simplicity of it.
Mr White passed away in 2003. But he has left a recorded history that anyone of consenting age should, ahem.. bring out.
