Celebrating and Honoring Barry White This Week
Dear Friends!
We were very pleased to learn that Barry White will be posthumously honored with a Star on the world famous Walk of Fame this week! If in Hollywood, catch the ceremony on September 12th - it would have been his 69th birthday - at 11:30am. The Star will be located at 6914 Hollywood Blvd, across from the Dolby Theatre. That's prime Walk of Fame real estate, and the ceremony will feature Motown's Berry Gordy and widow Glodean White.
We all have personal memories of Barry White. Marion met him during her music industry days and still swoons over his bass voice and kind manners. DJ Matt goes way back with the White family.
Barry' love songs are classics and we are happy to celebrate him this week.
"I have particularly fond memories of Barry White. When I was very very young, I went to the same school as his sons. We became good friends until I moved to a different city but we actually stayed in touch for quite some time. I will never ever forget the times when Barry himself would come pick up his sons after school in a giant gleaming white Rolls Royce! On the last day of school before summer, his sons Barry Jr. and Darryl brought me over to meet their dad. I remember leaning into the pristine car as they introduced me, only to hear that deep-as-the-Grand-Canyon smooth billowing voice say "hi Matt". He had a beautiful radiant smile and even at the tender young age of 7 I remember being so thrilled to meet such a legend. Needless to say, I am very excited to hear Mr. White is being honored posthumously with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His music has influenced countless singers with a style unlike any other R&B artist at the time. Here's to the legend and maestro of Love himself, Mr. Barry White! " ~ DJ Matt Cornwall
Wishing you a great week!
