Warmin' up

to the soulful stylings of BW, letting the sugary sounds sweetly roll over my mind, my body, my spirit. He is capable of opening up the most closed heart, releasing all energy and pent-up frustrations from the deepest regions of our souls. He is purely and simply, Il Maestro. There are plenty of adoring websites, blogs and pages dedicated to him on Facebook. But is there anything more telling of his grandeur and greatness than a fan who knows almost more about his life than his own. He lives with every lyric and all those telltale notes inside not only his brain, but within the memory regions of his heart. That is the most exclusive resting place for this affection, this love, this passion. Within the heart of BW's truest fan lies the wealth of memories, the unfulfilled hopes and desires for more, the sweet taste of all the notes as they bounce off the compostions BW labored so lovingly to produce and create. Barry White's #1 fan is loyal . . . true-blue loyal, ultimately dedicated and unswervingly passionate in his intense devotion to this masterful artiste. His fan appreciates the quality and quantity which are BW's legacy. He never let his fans down, certainly not his #1 fan. Not for a moment, in any way, other than to leave this world much too soon.

Dedicated to the man I know as BW's #1 Fan. Cheryl

Welcome to all the Maestro's Fans!!

What do we all have in common? We are the loyal and truest fans of Barry White
. . . the master of music, the producer behind many wonderful works of art, the guru of rhythm and blues . . . the extraordinary musician and artist who graced our world-filling it with heavenly sounds to lift our spirits, delight our senses, and elevate our human condition. He most assuredly was Il Maestro for us!

Our desire with this blog is to enable all of his fans worldwide to access fellow fans . . . to help one another remember, celebrate and inspire with his tremendous talent and divine musical gifts. We all have memories of hearing a special song for the first time, being caught up in a tempo only BW could have composed, to be swept away in a wave of sound and lyrics so uniquely his. He lit this world for such a relatively brief time, but he was most prolific and left a legacy of joy for all of us to reflect upon and enjoy.

Share your memories, your photos, your songs, your memorabilia . . . tell us what you remember, where you were when . . . ., what you loved most. We want to let this be the ultimate celebration for all-things-BW!! Enjoy!
