From Album: Barry White: The Right Night & Barry White,
Barry Eugene White (born Barrence Eugene Carter, September 12, 1944(1944-09-12) – July 4, 2003) was a Grammy Award winning American record producer, songwriter and singer responsible for the creation of numerous hit soul and disco songs. He released numerous gold and platinum albums, as well as numerous gold singles and platinum singles.[citation needed] All inclusive albums (record sales of White's music with singles) are in excess of 50 million.
Barry White was founder and maestro of the Love Unlimited Orchestra, that featured a groundbreaking synthesis of strings and funk-based percussion. Barry White became legendary as a chart-topping soul artist for the rich blend of bass vocals and suave, passionate delivery said to have been an inspiration for romance. Fans have boasted they conceived children or were conceived themselves after romantic interludes to the sound of Barry White recordings.
Considered handsome and deeply romantic by his many female fans and admired for the unique blend of soul and classical orchestral musical elements he created, White was often affectionately referred to as the "Maestro" or "The Man with the Velvet Voice". His portly physical stature led some in the popular press to make condescending jokes about his body weight by referring to White as the "Walrus of Love," a moniker considered disrespectful by many fans. Barry White was also referred to as "The Sultan of Smooth Soul," but it was his role as brainchild of the funk-fueled, deep soul band, the Love Unlimited Orchestra, in which he was widely branded on several early albums as the group's Maestro, earning him the only documented nickname for which he and his musical colleagues were responsible. ~ From Wikipedia:
