In his memoir, Barry White, the international pop and R&B legend whose music has carried countless couples from first kisses to the walk down the aisle, takes his legendary singing voice from the airwaves to the page.
White recounts his rough road to superstardom and shares his deepest feelings and wise philosophy. Born into the tough streets of South Central Los Angeles to a single mother, Barry ran with the "oldest, baddest, and most envied" gang and was hooked on fighting, drinking, and stealing when he wound up in Juvenile Hall at age sixteen. While behind bars, he had a life-shaking epiphany that changed the direction of his life. From that moment on Barry vowed to get and stay on a straight, hardworking path and fulfill his dream of making music.
Love Unlimited follows Barry from his hungry years as a jack of all trades, struggling to support a wife and four small children, to his first professional gig in the music business as a talent spotter; from his breakthrough producing the girls he named Love Unlimited to his own emergence into the international spotlight as a producer, songwriter, and singer renowned for his deep bass and gift for articulating the needs and desires of both men and women.
Featuring intimate behind-the-scenes photographs, a complete discography and some of his favorite lyrics, Love Unlimited is Barry's ultimate love song for his fans.

Review:
Ladies. I say, ladies. Unsatisfied with your bedtime reading? Getting no respect between those sheets of paper? You gotta get a little lovin' in your literature. You gotta learn from the Maestro. Step forward, Mr Barry White.

As Barry's opulent vowels ooze onto paper it becomes clear this is an autobiography with added action. Written in association with Marc Eliot, a seasoned showbiz author of titles on Springsteen and Disney, Love Unlimited unveils not just the life but the philosophy behind it. The essence of each of the 11 chapters is captured in a carefully chosen Barry White verse, followed by an inimitable, italicised, sultry lesson in love; how to find it, cherish it, keep it, make it last forever. While this oh-so-smooth tone may overwhelm less demonstrative palates, Barry's fans will love them: there's not much room for disappointed in the Barry White story either.

Born and raised in South-central LA, White fathered a son at 16 and joined his brother in gang violence until a spell in detention quietened him down considerably. Salvation finally came in the shape of music (appendices feature discographies for solo work and his alternative projects, Love Unlimitedand The Love Unlimed Orchestra). That the bulk of information given is centred in pre-celebrity days, and features close relationships rather than industry faces, is telling. In print, White is keen to demonstrate old-time values and family priorities instead of the Casanova qualities one might otherwise have expected.

Despite its silky sheen of charm, Love Unlimited is ultimately a sincere book. It'll also do his success no harm with the ladies ... Heyyy! --Helen Lamont

Review:
"the combination of poetry, frankness and, above all, advice for lovers, makes this essential" -- FHM
