These tracks showcased not only his voice but also his talent as a songwriter and producer. He led the Love Unlimited Orchestra, a 40-piece ensemble that fused lush orchestration with funk and soul rhythms, creating a sound that was both grand and intimate.
Over his career, Barry White sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He won two Grammy Awards and released 20 studio albums, each filled with smooth grooves and heartfelt lyrics.
