[Excerpt from Barry White interview]
[Verse:]
I did everything
Fought, was fighting
Stealing, stealing cars
Raiding houses
Umm… partying every weekend
Low riding in cars
Beach parties, everything
Gang fights, all of it
Uh… it was in jail that I made up my mind
I was gonna change my life
I was getting out of the gang I was in
And I was gonna do something with my life
I didn't even know what music was
I had no idea
But on August 20th, 1960 when
The man set me free
Uhhh I changed my life
[?] came over to my house
Who I went to school with
And they had been recording and making a record
They asked me did I wanna sing ba**
Told them yeah
We started rehearsing, then we recorded the record
When I walked in the studio
I knew that was were I was gonna be for the rest of my life
Something in that studio with all that
The mixing board, nah
I didn't understand nothing that was going on
I didn't know where I was
What the name of the studio was
All I knew was I was gonna bloom making a record
And when I heard em playing back
I heard us singing
I knew that was the business that I was gonna do
