The Sultan of Seduction: Why Barry White’s Baritone Spells Sexy Soulful Romance
Like silken sonic honey oozing richly, Barry White’s unmistakably seductive music catalyzes carnal chemistry perhaps more effectively than any American composer within radio waves. Through uniquely sultry style blending syrupy baritone crooning, funky bedroom jams and lush orchestrations...Barry White almost scientifically engineered steamy babymaking soundtracks specifically “Gettin' Down Tonight”. No modern Casanova playlist feels complete minus White’s canonical sensuous jams setting moods aglow on dimmer switches everywhere.
So why does Barry White’s distinguished discography from the early 1970s onwards feel practically patented fuel injecting lusty listener libidos each subsequent Valentine's season over half a century strong? How did this macho soul maestro’s erogenous funk rhapsodies weave directly associated with gushy Hallmark holidays, floral bouquets or candy heart confections spelling coy come-ons? Beyond Barry’s boastfully self-imposed “The Maestro of Love” titles...what gives White’s bustling bedchamber anthems a uniquely synonymous correlation between torrid tempos and torrid intentions?
