Barry White (born Barrence Eugene Carter, September 12, 1944 β 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.

A candle to remember, may it burn ever so bright
As I look to the heavens on this very night.
Beyond the stars, your loved one soars
Embraced by their Saviour on heaven's shores.
As the angels protect them and sing their sweet name
We honour their lives with the glow of this flame.
So I light this candle for your loved ones tonight
As a symbol of my love and their eternal life.

And for a brief moment its glory
And beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

♥†♥ Hugs From Heaven ♥†♥
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

Thinking of you at Christmastime
You're in my thoughts today
You've only gone to Heaven
To watch over us each day.
Today we'll spend together
just like we always do
I'm sending Christmas Wishes

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.

Come Sing with Me
~ Marilyn Hinson ~
-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-
Come sing with me of being free
Of fluffy clouds above the sea,
Billowing, swirling, as if at play
Reflecting soft colours at the close of day.
-:|:-
Come sing with me of soft, white sand
Of friends together, walking hand in hand,
Of a shoreline stretching far and wide
Of the moon and stars at evening tide.
-:|:-
Shells scatter on the beach, washed in by tides--
Not so different from our own lives;
Each shell separate, no two the same
Though mingled together, each has its own name.
-:|:-
Come sing with me of each man's worth
A right we have from time of birth;
We all are different, no two the same
Yet God knows each of us by our name.
