Own personal view on Barry White, while more famous for his 70s classics, that to me have quietly stood the test of time. His contribution to Soul Music is much greater. Only in recent years have been aware of just what things in the 1960s he was involved with. From record labels, 45s under his own and assumed names and much more. Will post up more 60s info later hopefully as am sure the rest of the media will concetrate on his 70s onwards stuff.
If are aware of worthwhile resources or have any info, sure be of interest if you posted up
