If Chocolate Fudge Cake Could Sing

If Chocolate Fudge Cake Could Sing

Feb 08, 2022

Hello internet readers. Shall we explore a moment from the 70's decade? The BBC quoted; "The rich timbres of one of the most distinctive soul voices of his generation, about which it was once said: 'If chocolate fudge cake could sing, it would sound like Barry White."

In February 1974, single track " Love's Theme" and album titled ' Under the Influence of Love Unlimited', became certified gold. He is Galveston, Texas born, singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, and composer Barry White . His Love Unlimited Orchestra was a game-changer. The remarkable soul symphony was written and produced by Barry and became a most popular hit in several countries. With its strings and wah-wah guitar, this track had a significant influence on the disco sound, which exploded in 1975 - a year after it championed the billboard charts.

This is one of the few instrumentals and purely orchestral tracks to reach #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was one of the most played instrumentals of the 1970s. The track earned Barry a BMI award for selling over three million copies. Today we look back and acknowledge this proto-disco sound. Barry White passed away in July 2003 aged 58, and will always be known for his bass-baritone vocals, romantic image, and crafting many enduring Soul, Funk, and Disco tracks.
