Barry White, the street crook and teenager rescued by an Elvis hit
Soulking Barry White would have turned 75 this month. Sixteen years ago, the “walrus of love” died at barely 58 years old. That short life was not only rich with musical braces, but also with crime, dramas and a turbulent private life.


With 'You're the first, the last, My Everything' Barry White sang himself into immortality, but reality was different. The “godfather of the bedroom soul” did not believe in infatuation and was unfaithful to his wives — two of his nine children are extramarital. However, his public image as a soft, romantic giant was not entirely theatre: the obese basbaritone was barely sixteen when he disappeared behind bars for membership of a criminal street gang in Los Angeles. Bloody gangster activity that killed his only brother. At that early age, he left two orphan children behind. His love for music, his unique voice and Elvis Presley's 'It's Now or Never' threw his life and gave the world one of the best-selling artists ever.
