With honesty  warmth  and his signature sensuality  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. He dropped out of school and literally walked to Hollywood to make his fortune.  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. At every step  the Maestro offers heartfelt reflections on self-pride and perseverance  the bonds of family and friendship  the key elements to keeping a lover happy  and the true meaning of ecstasy.  Barry also explores the relationships that have inspired him--from his profound love of his mother  who bought him his first piano  his brother  who didnt have music to save him  his love Glodean  and his children  to his ultimate love  Lady Music. He also discusses his relationships with such legends and luminaries as Marvin Gaye  Michael Jackson  Muhammed Ali  and Maxine Waters.  Featuring intimate  behind-the-scenes photographs  a complete discography  and some of his favorite lyrics  Love Unlimited is Barrys ultimate love song for his fans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279842205749,"sku":"ByrdShop_0767903641","price":31.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780767903646.jpg?v=1780613279","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/love-unlimited-insights-on-life-and-love-9780767903646","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
