Born on Sep 12: Barry White

Barry Eugene White (September 12, 1944 – July 4, 2003) was an American record producer and singer-songwriter.  A five-time Grammy Award-winner known for his distinctive bass voice and romantic image, White's greatest success came in the 1970s as a solo singer and with the Love Unlimited Orchestra, crafting many enduring soul, funk, and disco songs.

"Never, Never Gonna Give You Up", written and recorded by White, was released as a single from his 1973 album Stone Gon'.  It was a #7 hit in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached #14 on the UK singles chart.
