First Time Hearing Barry White - Playing Your Game, Baby (1977) REACTION 🔥🔥🔥

[@dcaseng]

Everyone recognized his voice, but his true genius was his music production.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

You got that RIGHT my friend... :)

[@VincentEEpps]

The word Ashley was looking for was "Groove", the 70's R&B was about the communal element. A deep groove got everybody together.

[@Teardehawkee]

Just plain......SMOOTH! Rest in peace to the Maestro.

[@chriswilliams8849]

You have to understand that he was extremely talented. He performed with a full orchestra where he wrote all the music, arranged and produced the whole thing. And of course his iconic voice. A true giant

[@1960317]

No electronic short cuts like today

[@minniekline5408]

He had his own orchestra! (G.O.A.T.)

[@lesliecrawford4227]

The man had his own orchestra named Love Unlimited he was a beast no one was doin it like he was RIP

[@aliciamartin2024]

Sweetheart, that minute and thirty seconds... that's foreplay....!!!!!! Ask your Mom and Grandma what they thought of Barry. Talk about babies being conceived 😅😅

[@dagmar.6954]

Barry was known for his deep voice & romantic image. He had a lot of songs especially in the 70's such as "You're The First, The Last, My Everything", "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Baby", "Practice What You Preach", "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up", "What Am I Gonna Do With You", "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Bit More, Baby", "Let The Music Play" etc.

[@kennykinard3691]

Ms. Ashley the reason why artists like Barry White and 70s artists sound so good is because they sang with passion as they told you about life and love. If you want to get a reaction, check out his song Practice What you preach .

[@cynthiawatkins6115]

The Maestro

[@godsson2259]

No auto tone no voice box just instruments and raw f****** talent

[@byronware71]

Sweetie that intro was just foreplay!😊

[@tyroneholland4931]

I'm a roller skater, and this song was played heavy in the rink.

[@lucky4724]

The 70's was a musical paradise!! 🎶🎵🎼🔥♨️👌

[@araya52]

Barry White made baby making music. That voice was FIRE!

[@michaelcarson7941]

The one and only Barry White👍🏾💯

[@thewatchmen4920]

You felt the voice and every 🎺🎷🎹🎻🥁🎧

[@WalkerOne]

The music was just as important as the song.

[@roxannecox7861]

Say that again!

[@thewatchmen4920]

Just like the Stylistics intro. Long but worth it ❤

[@Javceng]

It's safe to say that Barry was responsible for a lot of baby making. Surely his music was background to the main action going on. Certainly one of my favorite artists growing up back then.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

He is probably responsible for 50 % of the population in the 70/80's in the civilized world :)

[@Darnell-q6h]

His music helped you stay in love

[@r.p.8065]

This is real grown folks music.... ......... no thought about it !!!!!!!!!!

[@arronhaggerty8426]

Nostalgic is the word for this song

[@pghjack]

more ... Barry... Barry White - Practice What You Preach... can't miss

[@rostand5264]

Long instrumental starts was just to get you ready. Then some would do the same in the middle or end of the song, too! Isaac Hayes, real musicians, used to do that. Rarely disappointed.

[@ronpaizley9349]

His whole catalouge..... r i p to the Maestro of love (🔥 pick any Barry song 💜😉🔥)

[@ceciliasalgado3355]

I was a teenager in the 70's. He was amazing. I loved him!!

[@guestuser2373]

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE, BABE is what you want to listen to.

[@soakedbearrd]

This song is such a vibe and Barry never disappoints.

[@jonathangleaton2608]

Your parents probably was listening to this song an that how you got here 😊

[@dwaynedelancy4955]

This song is Epic...Syrupy!An experience in sheer soul ecstacy...period!!

[@alphonsothompson-o7y]

Ashley said.. let's play all the games ...lol

[@sonandsanford4963]

He's the maestro, "Love Unlimited Orchestra" reason fr the long intro. During this year "The Commodores" had a hit "Just to be Close too you". I'd love to get your reaction to that one.

[@jimmybrown-b2k]

I believe you would also enjoy "Ecstacy" one of the smoothest dance songs I ever heard.

[@Jhny18Whlr]

I love watching his concerts in Europe on the tube he was a problem in the 70’s and early 80’s! Secret Garden is another masterpiece

[@cbreez40]

The Maestro of Soul..no one like mr White, but we have these rare gems in our music history checkout his ex wifes girl group he created Love Unlimited their song I BELONG TO YOU

[@ellerootz6702]

U gots to love Barry!

[@wgdavis5353]

Ms. Ashley are U saying U do not know Mr. Barry White?? Do not repeat this; Mr. Barry's music is a Baby making machine.. ♠W.G.

[@dennisguild4052]

Always with a full orchestra, like Issac hayes

[@hutch3562]

My Mom and aunt told me that when Barry started singing panties were dropped all over the venue

[@dwainwilder7337]

Ashley, you call it a vibe, this song just has that groove as well.

[@wheatthicks]

Oh hell yeah. The groove in this song is so damn funky. Right from the beginning when it’s just the drums. And it keeps building layer after layer. Guitar, electric piano, strings, horns, etc. But it never loses that groove. And of course Mr. White can do no wrong with that voice. What a treat! I think the closest song with this same vibe I can think of is Spottieottiedopalicious by Outkast. You might like that too if you haven’t heard it.

[@gymeni]

This is honestly my favorite BW song. So sexy.

[@angelathomas3339]

This song is great for when you're driving in your car, the highway or on a long distance road trip.

[@robertsessoms]

I got in the car with my Girlfriend,she put on Barry white and I knew what was up

[@terrybenjamin1196]

I am enjoying you Enjoying This Music!

[@anthonybeattie7938]

BAM!

[@stevenwhite7343]

[@crystalhowardsgirls4874]

Let's Remember Great Real Music,Lyrics &Musician ships Is TIMELESS & AGELESS

[@evarene07]

You have to understand, the music intros, bridges and outros were part of the lyrical experience 😁

[@terrybenjamin1196]

Timeless, Soulful Barry White !

[@VincentEEpps]

"I'm gonna love you just a little bit more baby". Is all I'm gonna say.

[@MarcG7424]

Barry's nickname was The Maestro his skill for composing arranging even to the point of using antique instruments in modern music like the Harpsichord and then their was the voice I honestly believe he's partially responsible for population growth during the 70's Edit : You liked this you will lovec it when you hear Can't Get Enough of Your Love Baby by Barry

[@bjware511]

This is a skate groove also!

[@GeorgeJansen]

Love her mean faces 😂. And if they ever bring back American Top 40 again, here's your host with tremendous commentary right here❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stevesalt2921]

Nice to see someone enjoying this classic groove. Timeless! Just wonderful!

[@GeorgeJansen]

One thing though... Not old. They're classics ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ProfitPathTV-zf6je]

Barry White's band was the Love Unlimited Orchestra. They had their own hit in the early 70s, an instrumental called "Love's Theme." Check that one out. Also, he had a girl group called Love Unlimited, which featured his wife, Glodean as lead singer. They had a few hits, "Walking In The Rain With the One I Love," and "I Belong To You." You'll like those too.

[@dawnscheerhoorn9583]

Barry is the Love of my life ❤️

[@spirosoikonomopoulos2651]

OK you are dealing here with The Maestro..... he doesn't only sing but composes and plays instruments too and this is a deep rabbit hole..... so here we go..... It's ecstacy when you lay down next to me, Never Never gonna give ya up, Practice what you preach, Can't get enough of you baby, I've got so much to give..... and the list goes on.....enjoy and by the way keep on using those headphones because the quality of the music we hear is real good and not like through a tin when you don't wear them, thanks.

[@robertdelonge9392]

Ashley great reaction Barry was tops in the day> Ohio Players give em a listen Sweet Sticky Thing

[@expatmarc6611]

I am an old OG and I love watching you youngins reacting to MY music. However, and this is for all, doing a little history won't hurt your authentic reaction. Jus my opinion.

[@the4thhorseman840]

This is straight up baby making music.

[@Hans-v6k]

Got the same vibe as It's extasy when you're lying down next to me'. Came around the same time.

[@blxgrl]

[@michaelbaylor2923]

You know what you need to hear if you haven't...ROSE ROYCE- wishing on a star

[@yol.2248]

Barry had a hand-picked orchestra, he wrong the music and he conducted his orchestra, then sang the words he wrote. In other words he was the whole package.

"King Osirus" Thank You My Beautiful Black "Queen!

[@Narquise1st]

Gotta react to his song I’ve got so much to give

[@markjanifer4563]

In DC we call it Grown & Sexy !!!

[@sectortech12b8]

Check out Ray Parker Jr, "Jack &Jill" Barry White is Exceptional, he was a judge for LA Soul Search in early 70s, my group got to semi's

[@normanphilp1760]

Black Moon “I got cha open”

[@randyobrien2836]

1977 the year I graduated from high school.

[@nobrainnogain1481]

Music to make love...

[@AntoinetteRolark]

Because the songs Back In Those Days had meaning but you had very talented musicians also out there so they wanted them to shine as well I understand you have a problem or you constantly mention how long the entries of the love ballads are but if you group with the beginning the first word that come out of their mouth you already understand it's a ballot a ballot

[@rickybrown1348]

That beat those horns cmon now

[@mauricecole1196]

Most music today can't match his level of talent.

[@kk-linux-rocks7269]

I got one for you from my generation: Pieces of a Dream -What can I do

[@ajhimes4956]

Black Moon/Buckshot - ya know I gotchu open.

[@lancemills4813]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jj-ty7qh]

Baby girl. You are too young for this tune. This is baby making music. 😃

[@RobertBeckford-gj6le]

[@mcclendonreport]

It’s Soul.

[@shirleywalker2943]

The Maeistro, Mr. Barry White. Try listening to "Babys' Home"! I 100% guarantee you'll enjoy your journey!

[@patriciadavis5939]

You haven’t heard anything yet. Keep digging.😊😊😊

[@tyfreedmen9721]

Blackmoon sampled this song on I Know I Gotcha Open.

[@dwainwilder7337]

Ashley, a 1:30 sec intro is nothing really, that’s light. Check out the Temptations “Masterpiece”. The recording is 13 mins long with an instrumental intro of about 3 to 4 mins. This song is one of my favorites by them. At no time is the word masterpiece even mentioned. The song in itself is the masterpiece! Please check it out.

[@whatthehell4896]

Also notice LIVE INSTRUMENTS!

[@krerickson1]

Another song with a very long intro is Talking Heads' This Must Be the Place (aka Naive Melody). A different kind of love song.
