How Barry White Tried To WARN Luther Vandross Of Clive Davis (And His Lust For Men)

Simple. Barry White was never Greedy. Greed didn't rule his life! He was one of the Best singers ever. He knew it and refused the B/S !!!

Also, The Great Issac Hayes had the deep, sexy voice FIRST!! However, his IRS troubles literally caused him to be forced to STOP singing according the press at that time. Allegedly, it seems that not paying his taxes properly that organization allegedly entitled them to prevent him from using his own voice if he could Not pay that bill. That is how it was told.in the media . REMARKABLY, AT THAT VERY SAME TIME THE GREAT BARRY WHITE brought his SEXY, DEEP VOICE ON THE SCENE N ROCKED THE' WORLD' !!!! Then also a thinker, Issac Hayes started the celebrity' DJ on the radio phenomena that others have followed. Moreso, Issac Hayes became a VERY' well known and beloved Actor on the big screen," I' m gonna hit you sucka", "Truck Turner" and possibly " Original Gangstas" with the great Jim Brown and on some TV shows.

By the way. Black people are not homophobic nor do we have a deep obsession for toxic masculinity. Just because we don't agree or embrace homosexuality as a community, doesn't mean we are homophobic. We just don't agree with it or believe it's best for us. And our men being men is NOT toxic masculinity. I don't know about the rest of the Black people who watched this, but those statements are a crazy disrespectful in my opinion and thumbing the video down. You all are going to learn that you can't just say what you want about us. Just like jewish people and gays, you are going to learn to keep our people out your mouth or suffer the consequences.

I love Patti…but that was not for her to say anything…..she was wrong…ppl will do anything for money & to be something of importance….she lost a lot of points with me….she had no right at all…

[@DD_12XSquared]

I believe that Luther's fear of owning his sexual identity during the 80s was largely due to the experiences that informed his views. Black people knew Sylvester was openly gay and threw mad support his way. We showed up for all of his concerts and bought his albums. Many of us in the hood, especially the ladies, knew Luther was gay. And even still, we bumped his music like it was an addiction!✊🏿💯

[@MrMartellSincere]

Rip to both Barry White and Luther vandross

[@chocolatecitygemini3832]

RIP L Vandross. His first album Never Too Much is a classic. IMO!! The song Never Too Much from his 1st album is my all time favorite song by Vandross. Bruh Vandross is gone but not forgotten. I play the song Never Too Much every time I think about that song. 🗣♊️👤Rising

[@denisefields7233]

I can't believe that Mimi said that it was intimidating standing next to Luther vandross when they were making their duet together wow Mariah Carey said that 💄💘💞🪅

[@brinkleyporter1419]

She wasn't saying it in a bad way!!!

[@evarojas2567]

Thank you for the beautiful music. I will pray for their souls and may God do justice for all musicians.

[@Bochanable]

Sam Cooke had his own label decades before Barry. I believe so did James Brown. Please do your research before sensationalism for views.

[@BlackWerewolfMuThaFUHKR]

Nobody cares, the black neighborhoods are still dilapidated and poor

[@jalove7]

Sam Cooke was killed just like so many others who's lives ended in tragedy going down the Yellow Brick Road to Hollyweird.

[@jalove7]

The video says one of the first. Not the first.

[@CryptoKernels]

Sam Cooke was the 1st😊.

[@Bochanable]

@@jalove7 Dissecting semantically doesn’t change that most people heard “the first “ We live in a world of alternative truth and selective listening.

[@serpentinefire77]

Luther Vandross signed to Epic Records in the early 80s, not J Records. Clive Davis was the boss at Arista Records, so this information is not chronologically correct. J Records was created in 2000.

[@cathleanjohnson675]

The only thing that matters is the music Luther made, he was indeed " the voice of a generation" who to this day is still sorely missed and so is the great Barry White, sadly that era of music is gone but never forgotten by those of us who were blessed to have witnessed it...

[@chicocostaneves]

Your voice is missed, Luther. RIP, brother.

[@racerx1189]

Anyone who didn't know Luther and Clive were gay just wasnt paying attention. Now to the important stuff. The first time I heard Luther sing was in the eighties when he dropped "Never Too Much" That voice was pure velvet gold. May God rest his soul and let us thank him for all his great music. Rest in peace Luther! 🙏🏻❤️🕊️

[@RobinBlackwell-sj8pv]

Luther. Too. Was great. They. Take. Everything. They. Hurt. You.......

[@MattyNelson-rs3ik]

They are the devils emmerceries,,they give and take back 100 fold. ..from them...

[@Leavingthisroom_12]

Loved me some Luther, he got me through some broken hearts. I saw him in person, no words can explain how awesome he was. I didnt care about him being gay, i was there for the music. Forever, for always Luther.

[@Edward-rv2bu]

I didn’t hear Barry say anything about Luther saying away from Clive Davis.

[@stephenblake2196]

DAVIS SAW SOMETHING IN L HIMSELF?? DAVIS IS RUTHLESS $$

[@RoyCropperThePantyDropper]

he's a small hat, what did you expect

[@jillr.austin1103]

No one sounds like Luther ❤

[@lscummings]

When Clive Davis day comes, i can only hope he ask God for Forgiveness. So many gone, yet, Clive is still here.weird. nice video.

[@vvm...]

Christianity is a home for the. Sickening 🤢

[@arlenechambers8481]

How come no mention of CHANGE???

[@breezmatic317]

Smdh every artist that Clive took under his wing is under contract if they try to get out they mysteriously die y bc it’s all a setup …GREED like Barry white said 😢

[@SotR59]

what I think is, and this is where it gets juicy.....

[@carolynellis387]

Absolutely loved Barry White, smart guy too having his own label, wasn't corrupted by other sources it seems. His music will still be around for a long time to come
