BARRY WHITE Part 7

Between 1984 to 1987 BW spent most of his Time Touring, after the Collapse of His Record Label "Unlimited Gold", He Finally Released his 16th Album on A&M Records in 1987.

It was Self-Produced and called "The Right Night and Barry White" but Critics said it would only Appeal to BW Fans,and this was Proved right when it only Charted in US R&B Chart @ Number 28, it never made the Pop 100 Chart!

It contained 10 Tracks, 1 Wrote by BW, 8 He Co-Wrote, and 1 Track wrote by Herman Hupfeld, Glodean White appeared on Backing Vocals again, while Nathan East Featured on Bass Guitar.

The Album Featured 2 Single Releases, His Biggest Hit (apart from one) in nearly 10 Years, "Sho You Right" Peaked at Nunber 17 in US R&B Chart (Number 14 in UK) and "For Your Love" which Charted @ Number 27 in R&B Chart!

By 1989 Barry White began the First Phase of his Comeback (to Success!), He Mixed a more Comtemporary Production Style with His Normal Trademark Sound, and the Result of this was the New Album, Entitled "The Man Is Back"

It was again Self-produced on A&M Records, it Peaked @ Number 22 in US R&B Charts, but as Previous Album, it failed to make the US Pop 100 Charts!

3 Singles were Released from the Album: US R&B Chart Placings in Brackets!

Super Lover (34)....I Wanna Do It Good to Ya... (26)....and When Will I See You Again (32)

1991 saw BW continue with Phase 2 of his Musical Change, with his New (18th) Album, entitled  "Put Me In Your Mix" He added More Modern Instrumentation to His Usual Sounds, with Great Results, He had his Highest US R&B Chart Placing (Number 8), for Over 12 Years and He Finally made it back to the US Billboard Top 100 Pop Chart, @ Number 96!

The Critics said it was a Welcome Return to Form with some Great Ballads!

The 2 Singles Released were: "Put Me In Your Mix" a US R&B Hit @ Number 2 and the Duet with "Isaac Hayes" Charting @ Number 29, called "Dark and Lovely"

The International Release of the Album, was about 2 Weeks after the US Release, but it included a Remix Version of the Song "Sho You Right" from the 1991 Album, The Right Night and Barry White!

WORKMATES & STANLEY TURRENTINE!

 I remember when I was working at Bransbys Meat Factory Around the middle of 1981, I used to Bike to work, I only lived about 10 minutes away, that was the only Good Thing about Working there!

Most of the Blokes who Worked on my Section, were Alright! One had a Motorbike, so of course He had loads of Long Hair, and Stunk of Grease! another 2 of them were Right Know it All's, come to think about it,  in fact 3 of them were like that!

The Chap who made the Sausages was a Right Big Head, and we had another one who Worked Next to me most of the time, how can I say it, he was the sort of Chap who Skived off alot (most of us did!) and was very Concerned who I had been Talking to and who I had been standing near the previous day!

One of the better places to Skive off was the Smoke House, although it was a bit Smelly, it was always Hot!

The 2 Chaps in Charge of the Smoke House were a bit Younger than me, their Names were "Robin and I cant remember the others name", but they were  Probably the 2 best Workers there!

There was plenty of  Overtime available there, but I never did any, because I Really Hated the place!

I always Regretted, Leaving my Previous Employment and starting Work there!

Music of that time, I remember Buying a Commercial Jazz Album, Called "Tender Togetherness" by Stanley Turrentine, (This was my First Album I had purchased by Stanley Turrentine) it was Produced by Larry Dunn of Earth Wind & Fire.

The Album Featured some Great Musicians, ie Several members of  EW&F including Philip Bailey and the "Phenix Horns", as well as Nathan East, Paulinho DaCosta, Ndugu Chancler, Have a Listen to a few of the Tracks, especially the EW&F Cover!

My Favorite is Hermanos, have a Listen!
