Barry White

Barry White Eugene Carter - Known as Barry White born in Galveston Texas on 12 Sept 1944.

Barry white is a two time Grammy Award Winner and at the time. He is a music  legend. Some of his songs are unbeatable for example (Your my First, My Last, My Everything) and (Can't get Enough of Your Love Babe).

He is also a worldwide singer composer and song writer with a very distinctive Bass voice. However, I bet you, You didn't know that he was known as the walrus of love, from his voice, shape and size.

On his younger age 17, Barry White and his brother Darryl was been involved in Crime and Gang activities, which he end up serving, a Prison sentence for stealing  Tyre's of Cadillac worth $ 30,000 in 1961. While he was in jail, he was inspired listening to Elvis Presley's song " Its now or Never" on the radio, then  decide to change his course of life.  After release from jail, he left Gang life and began to his musical career.

Ever since, I was a little girl I used to hear his songs "Your My First, My Last, My Everything" from my Mum CD' collections and I think he is a cool person.
