"I Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe"

So warm and rich
were the notes you sang
you touched many hearts
in the rhythm
of love's melody.

I remember falling in love
with the song
with the emotion
with the voice.

We lost another piece of
love's rainbow today,
as the voice and soul
of Barry White
slipped into
the blue horizon.


Remembering you, as
"Love Unlimited"

He had a voice that once heard you never forgot and got to agree though often imitated, ain't nothing like the real thing.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

I have the strangest feeling that he is reading your poem and smiling.

Lovely homage to a man who touched the lives of oh, so many...
