I'm a 54 year old, divorced old southern white man and ain't nobody writes, sings and composes a better "fuck song" than Barry White. I love this guy's music. RIP my brother...so much love for him and his music. Barry White concert was on my bucket list. I tear up when I think about how I missed that chance.
@zachariah-binyisrayl5570
Think about this : as a composer, he heard EVERY note of EVERY instrument for this song in his head. Then WROTE the notes. Then arranged an ORCHESTRA to perform the notes. Lawdhamercy

Everything: strings, percussions, synthesizers, piano.....
