At the age of 42, Barry White’s son, who had long kept a low profile, finally confirmed some of the sad and shocking rumors surrounding his father’s life and legacy.
For decades, Barry White’s deep and sensual voice captivated audiences worldwide, earning him a legendary status in the music industry.
His hits like Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe and You’re the First, the Last, My Everything solidified him as a powerhouse of soul and R&B.
However, behind his smooth persona and his larger-than-life public image, Barry’s life was riddled with personal struggles, scandals, and deeply painful secrets that only came to light after his death.
The son, who had remained silent for years, finally decided to open up and share details about his father’s darker side, revealing the untold story of Barry White’s life that had previously been hidden from the public eye. The revelation was an emotional and powerful one, shedding light on the challenges Barry faced in his personal life and the secrets that haunted him.
Barry White’s upbringing in the tough neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles was far from glamorous. Raised in a broken home, Barry was the eldest of two children. His mother, Sadie Marie Carter, and father, Melvin White, were never married, and Barry grew up with the struggles that came with poverty and broken family dynamics.
He took his mother’s surname at first but later adopted his father’s name. In his autobiography Love Unlimited: Insights on Life and Love, Barry reflected on the difficulties of his childhood, sharing how he and his younger brother, Daryl, often found themselves entangled in local gang life, an experience that would shape his worldview and his music.
