Barry White, born Barry Eugene Carter on September 12, 1944, in Galveston, Texas, was a seminal figure in R&B, soul, and disco music. Renowned for his deep bass voice and romantic persona, White's career flourished in the 1970s with hits like "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" and "You're the First, the Last, My Everything." He produced 20 studio albums, earning two Grammy Awards and selling over 100 million records worldwide. Influenced by artists such as Ray Charles and Marvin Gaye, White's lush orchestral arrangements and sensual lyrics solidified his status as the "Maestro of Love."
