Barry White: la voz que te acaricia los sentidos

Criado en el ghetto negro de la ciudad de Los Ángeles, tuvo una adolescencia rebelde que lo llevó a la cárcel por robar neumáticos y partes de vehículos, siendo allí donde se percató de la necesidad de cambiar de compañías y de actitud ante la vida. Un cambio de actitud que sirvió para poder encontrarse y bendecirnos con su verdadero destino en la tierra, maravillarnos con su espectacular voz. Así es Barry White, una voz aterciopelada y profunda, de vibrato bajo que acaricia los sentidos y conquista el corazón con su romanticismo. Un romanticismo latente a lo largo de una carrera de éxito, sobretodo en la década de los 70 y 80. Precursor del llamado sonido Filadelfia, influyendo y apadrinando a otros músicos, lo que le hizo alcanzar el calificativo de "El Maestro" como apodo. Y cómo no, si le sumamos a su extraordinaria voz, sus dotes como compositor, arreglista o director de su propia orquesta llamada "The Love Unlimited Orchestra".

Soul, funk, disco y mucho amor fundiéndose de forma seductora en canciones como "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up", "Can't get enough of your Love, Babe", "You’re the first, the last, my everything", o "Love's Theme". Una sensual y profunda voz que se moldeaba con los dulces violines del sonido Philadelphia de los años 70, dejando forjada la inmortalización de otro gran clásico del soul.

Never, Never Gonna Give You Up

Aahh
Ooh, baby
Ooh, baby
Keep on
(My baby)
Keep on doing it
Right on (oh, oh, oh)
Right on doing it
(We get it together)
Baby keep on
(Oh We get it together baby)
Right on
Keep on doing it
(And I'll give you baby)
[All that I get]
Now my baby keep on
(I swear we get it together baby)
Keep on , keep on

Wherever, wherever girl I'll do it
Forever and ever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll see you through it

I've got to keep you pleased in every way I can
Gonna give you all of me
As much as you can stand
Make love to you right now
That's all I want to do

I know you need it, girl, and you know
I need it, too
'Cause I found what the world is searching for
Here, right here, my dear
I don't have to look no more
And, oh, my babe
I hoped and I prayed for someone
Just like you to make me feel the way you do

Never, never gonna give you up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
Not the way I feel about you
Girl, I just can't live without you

I'm never ever gonna quit,
'Cause quitin' just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna stay right here with you
Do all the things you want me to

Whatever you want, girl, you got it
And whatever you need
I don't want to see you without it

You've given me much more than words could ever say
And oh, my dear, I'll be right here until my dying day
I don't know just how to say all the things I feel
I just know that I love you so and it gives me such a thrill

'Cause I found what this world is searching for
Here, right here, my dear
I don't have to look no more
And all of my days I hoped and I prayed
For someone just like you
To make me feel the way you do

I never, never gonna give you up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
Stop the way I feel about you
Girl I just can't live without you

I'm never ever gonna quit
'Cause quitin' just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna stay right here with you
Do all the things you want me to

Oh I never gonna give you up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
All the things I feel about you girl
I just can't live without you

I'm never ever gonna quit
'Cause quitin' just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna stay right here with you
Do all the things you want me to
