Barry White (born Barrence Eugene Carter, September 12, 1944 – July 4, 2003) was an American
record producer, songwriter and singer.
Singer, songwriter. Born Barry Lee on September 12, 1944 in Galveston, Texas. White was raised in
Los Angeles, where he immersed himself in the local music culture at an early age. He made several
records during the early '60s, under his own name (Barry Lee), and as a member of the Upfronts, the
Atlantics and the Majestics. However, he found greater success offstage, guiding the careers of
others, including Felice Taylor and Viola Wills.
In 1969, White formed the group Love Unlimited, a female vocal trio made up of Diane Taylor, Glodean
James (his future wife) and her sister Linda. He also founded the Love Unlimited Orchestra, a
40-piece ensemble to accompany himself and the singing trio, for which he conducted, composed and
arranged.
Love Unlimited's success in 1972 can in large part be attributed to White's throaty vocals in such
hits as "Walkin' In The Rain With The One I Love." The group's success rejuvenated White's own
career, receiving acclaim for such songs as "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby" and "Never,
Never Gonna Give Ya Up" in 1973 and "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe" and "You're The First, The
Last, My Everything" in 1974.
As the sexual content of the lyrics grew more explicit, he gradually became viewed as a self-parody.
But though his pop hits lessened towards the end of the '70s, his live performances remained sold
out. The singer's last major hit was in 1977 with "It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me."
During the peak of his career, White earned gold and platinum discs for worldwide sales. The UK
singer Lisa Stansfield has often publicly supported White's work and in 1992, she and White
re-recorded a version of Stansfield's hit, "All Around The World." During the '90s, a series of
commercially successful albums proved White's status as more than just a cult figure.
In May 2003, White suffered a stroke while waiting for a kidney transplant, which he needed due to
complications from years of chronic high blood pressure. He died on July 4, 2003 in Los Angeles.

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Barry"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful musician of ours.

LOVE ALWAYS VICKY XXXXXX
When you feel you miss me most,
As years go drifting by,
Each memory will prove to you,
That love will never die,
That while I left you far too soon,
I did not go alone,
For the father sent his angels,
To gently take me home,
Take comfort when you think of me,
Keep my love deep within your heart,
And with the warmth of each memory,
We will never be apart.
LOVE ALWAYS VICKY XXXX

SOMEONE WHO CARES
As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed
I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere.
love always ♥♥ vicky ♥♥
