“Brang them cellos in…” CLASSIC!!!

[@clgil77]

The song goes hard! The bass, the hook, the strings, the piano, the melody, the voice! The musical genius of Barry White! When this song came out Barry changed the funk game!

[@cillene9]

No idea why this doesn't have more views , honestly just motivates me to see this man in the studio producing!

[@batmanforpresident9655]

Great, insightful comment. He was decades ahead of him time. To say he was a musical genius is like saying the Grand Canyon is just a hole in the ground.A vast understatement.

[@batmanforpresident9655]

@@cillene9 I echo your sentiment. A lot of people today don't appreciate what GREAT MUSIC is. That's perhaps why it doesn't have more views. Watching this genius produce is what watching da Vinci paint or Hitchcock direct a movie must have felt like. A transcendental experience. A TOTAL genius and the pinnacle of craftsmanship!!

Don't forget the horns and organs

Effortless genius

This man is a Genius, the godfather of Soul Music R.I.P ❤

Sorry , but that title has been taken already …, Mr.James Brown !

[@TheGreatJoeyReynolds]

On my watch with Barry…his office was next to me at 20th century fox, I was creative director, this was filmed 16 MM, competing with Elephant parts with Mike Nesmith ( monkees) on MTV. Barry told me I was dropped on my head when I was a child he and I really had the greatest relationship any working partner could ever have because we disagreed on everything yet we respected and loved each other.

[@waynefoote3781]

Unbelievable and historic footage ...thank you so much Mr. White and company!

The O.G. Classic 👌💯👏🙏🏾

[@zezet0ni594]

When Barry was sat at his piano, singing one of his many hits, millions upon millions of his fans totally got the......"Then you'll feel this bouncy thing" 🎵 If only the genius of this man could have been bottled. A master of orchestral arrangement, a maestro of Funk and Soul and an ABSOLUTE embodiment of sexiness in my opinion. I am SO SO SO GRATEFUL I was alive when Barry was. The world of music and sound was better for this man having been here 🖤🎵🖤

Barry from the hood

[@ianjackson4157]

Genius of orchestral art. Those strings and horns are of absolute. The highs and lows, then comes the finally of instrumental highs that gets me high with excitement. Barry was of one of a kind. No one could ever do it again.

[@madmaximilian5783]

@ianjackson4157• Barry White and Isaac Hayes are still my heroes of R & B orchestrated background or accompanimental influential music. From films to action movies like Shaft.

[@ianjackson4157]

[@teajaydc4484]

This my favorite Barry White song. It is expert composition and orchestration. Someone was at their best on the mixing board. You could teach a class on main stream music orchestration from this alone.

[@Jordansmom-Poet]

The genius of Barry White displayed v in his own words is magnificent. His appreciation for each layer is evident in his chronicling of the process. The narration, the bass, the cellos, the snare and then the baritone is intoxicating together. This footage is a treasure. ❤

Es absolutamente una obra de arte. La conjunción de la musica, los arreglos, la variedad de instrumentos etc hace que sea algo increible. La calidad musical de los 70 y 80 es algo que jamás regresará con un trabajo detrás de miles de horas en estudios analogicos.
