Memories Of The Maestro On His Birthday!

By T.L. Brown · On September 12, 2014

Today, Barry White would have turned 70!  WOW!!!!  And while he passed away in 2003, the Maestro left us with a plethora of goodies that continue to tickle our ears even in this present day!

In preparation for this post, we’ve learned some interesting facts about Barry!! Check these out:

Did you know…

* Barry White’s real name was Barry Eugene Carter?

* Barry was born in Galveston, Texas?

* Barry was a 3-time Grammy Award winner?

* Barry’s voice was used in Apple’s first iBook commercial?

* Barry had 106 gold albums worldwide, 41 of which also attained platinum status?

* Barry had 20 gold and 10 platinum singles, with worldwide records sales in excess of 100 million?

* Barry is one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time?

We’d be remiss if we didn’t remind you all to GO SEE THE GREATS! We never seized the opportunity to check Barry out LIVE, but man the footage we’ve seen makes us wish we’d seen it for ourselves!

Until Next Time…Go Pull Out Some of Your Barry White favorites!
