#OTD: Remembering Barry White, Born in 1944

On this day in 1944, Barry Eugene Carter — better known as Barry White — was born in Galveston, Texas. Raised in a family of gospel singers, he showed talent early and rose to become one of the most iconic bass singers and a disco pioneer. His debut album “I’ve Got So Much to Give” produced the hit “I’m Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby.” After slowing in the 1980s, he resurged in the 1990s with “The Icon Is Love.” A Grammy winner with more than 100 gold albums, White left an indelible mark on music before his death in 2003.
