La vida de Barry White transcurrió por y para la música desde que, con tan solo 15 años, pasara por la cárcel; 'It's now or never' cantaba Elvis... Barry lo escuchó y decidió que sería ahora.
Los 70 y los 80 conocieron sus mayores éxitos en forma de canciones de amor en las que su voz grave se movía con absoluta sensualidad y conquistaba los gustos más exigentes y los corazones más fríos. En particular, su interpretación del tema de Billy Joel Just the way you are es uno de esas actuaciones inolvidables que convierten a Barry White en un incuestionable del soul.
Don't go changing, trying to please me
You never let me down before
I don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I don't want to work that hard
I just want some someone to talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from my heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
