Barry White was so cold with it, all he needed to do was TALK on the track, and an entire generation was conceived.

Lmao no doubt

I was 15 years old in 1990. First crush. He picked me up and we went to the football field. The Quiet Storm was on and this song was playing. I got my first kiss to this song. Thank God I didn’t contribute to a new generation being born that night😂. But it definitely holds a special place in my heart. We were married for 17 years until he passed away. But we did contribute to a new generation a few years later and they know how special this song is for me and their dad🥰

I grew up in East Oakland, California in the 70's, 80's and beginning of 1990. As the only white kid adopted by a black mother and brothers and sisters all black. I learned so much about culture, violence, music, racism and mostly love. Yes I also learned to take a punch and run real fast(hahaha). With that being said, my mom used to play this song along with a host of other old school soul and R&B. Sly and the Family Stone, Rick James, Earth, Wind and Fire and well you get the drift. Yes, it was tough back then. Lots of gang crap and b/s. But I wouldn't change a thing. So thank you to my mother, my aunties, my sister's and brothers. Thank you for making me love music and most of all, for loving me.
