Here is a man who was, for a brief moment, in the company of Malcolm X, got jacked around by his first record label and is able to shrug it off and learn from it, and pass along his wisdom and the benefits of his experiences both to his peers in the entertainment field and to the world at large through this wonderful, insightful, inspirational book. How refreshing it is to see such honesty in such a large package!Update: the Maestro died tonight, July 4, 2003. Get this book, however you can get it, if you truly want to understand the drive it takes to come from nothing and make something of yourself. Iris Gross Georg

I have also enjoyed Barry's music since the 70's and I am glad to see how he shared such a warm story with us. You know, it only takes something that can change a person's life either for the good or bad, for him it was Elvis' "It's Now or Never" Read and enjoy!

I'm 38yrs. old, white, and have been a Barry White fan since 1973 when I heard "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More, Baby" for the first time on CKLW radio station. I've been to 4 Barry White concerts, and one of the most memorable events in my life was when I met my idol in 1982. That was a dream come true for me. I'm half-way through this book, but couldn't wait to post a review. Every Barry White fan has to read this book. It is really amazing; where Barry White grew up, what he experienced, and how he came to be what he is today. It will make you wonder how much of our lives is determined by free will and how much is destined to happen. Barry White is surely a God-gifted human being. This story of his life is fantastic.

An excellent review of the rags to riches story and back again of the "Maestro" himself, Barry White. He is indeed, living proof that hard work, dedication and devotion is what it takes to make your dream a reality!

Mr. White's book not only allowed me to fully understand his musical genius, but directed and moved me to another level of PEOPLE UNDERSTANDING. With the assistance of Marc Eliot, this book TRULY IS ONE THAT ALL ENTERTAINERS AND WOULD BE ENTERTAINERS SHOULD READ. It's an indepth look at the making of a true star, but most important, a true human being!
