I was just listening to Barry White’s love songs. It turned out that he was extremely pupular in the 80s because of his deeply romantic voice (bass). Among his most favourite genres were soul, funk and disco. Besides, he is known for his superb combination of orchestral music and above mentioned genres (you can hear there string sections, woodwinds, horns, harpsichords and many others orchestral elements). Barry was reffered to by his fans as “Maestro” or “The Man with the Velvet Voice”, but because of his stoutness was called sometimes as “Walrus of Love” (for fun, of course). But the most interesting fact about his life is that at the age of 17 he was imprisoned for 4 months for stealing a car tires which cost $30.000. In prison he was listening to Elvis Presley a lot and then decided to start his singer career. Love Unlimited & Love Unlimited Orchestra released during his life more than 15 albums, many of them were certified as gold or platinum. I’ve just downloaded one mp3 ringtone of his love song and, you know, it’s perfect music in any case
