Barry White's Tragic Real Life Story

Today, Barry White is remembered as one of the most distinctive vocalists of all time, and his genre-spanning love ballads are some of the finest of the 20th century. But life wasn't always easy for the Maestro of Love. This is Barry White's tragic real-life story.

Barry White was born in Texas on September 12th 1944. He spent a large part of his childhood in Los Angeles, however, and saw some tough times as a kid. According to his 1999 autobiography, the musician grew up in a small home with his mother and siblings. In their youth, White and his brother became involved in local gangs and often found themselves in trouble. In an interview with Rolling Stone, White said:

"I'm an ex-gang-banger. I come from southeast L.A. I didn't only hear about the 1965 riot, I was in it. I understand the disappointment, the anger that people have. I had the same. My brother had the same until he died in 1983. He was my best friend and my life till he died. He was night, and I was day."

White added that his brother was so caught up in the world of crime that it was comparable to the way Barry himself grew to love music. Later in life, the singer chose to be open with fans about his past. He explained:

"So I tell young people the truth, and a lot of them listen. They know I've been to jail. I've never hid my past, and I never will. I don't want no young person to think he's stuck in that misery."
