Awe, I met Barry White with his wife Glodean at the San Diego Zoo many years ago. It was the late 70's or early 80's. I was in my early twenties with three of my girlfriends. They had a little boy with them and he looked to be about nine yrs. old at that time. We followed them at what we thought was an inconspicuous distance all through the zoo. And finally Ms. Glodean caught onto us. The jig was up! She slowed her walking pace down and and let us girls catch up to her. Well after we touched all over her hands and was ga ga over her fabulous fingernails. She was so kind and gracious enough to ask us if we wanted to talk to Barry White. And of course we did! That was one of the most memorable days of my life. Meeting Barry White with Glodean at the San Diego Zoo.
Lost my wife of 24yrs to breast cancer in August 2022. This song makes me think of her. I know shes in a better place now. I love you sweetheart❤ me and the kids think of you everyday😭❤
Barry White considered this Billy Joel creation to be one of the beautifullest songs to ever be recorded. He asked Billy to allow him to cover and Billy himself shed tears seeing how deep Barry went with it.
My song for my wife. Summed up how I felt about her. Sadly she has just passed away and I miss her so much. Love you forever. Sleep easy now. Last music played at her funeral. I love you
Don't go changing, trying to please me You never let me down before I don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I would not leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair, hey there You always have my unspoken passion Although, I might not seem to care I don't want clever conversation Don't want to work that hard, no love I just want some, someone to talk to I want you just the way you are I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take 'til you believe in me The way that I believe in you? I said, "I love you and that's forever" And this I promise from my heart, oh Lord I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are I don't want clever conversation I don't want to work that hard, no love I just want some, someone to talk to I want you just the way you are I want you the way you are (love you just the way you are) Don't go changing (love you just the way you are)
I saw Mr. White in the 80's in the round. When he passed in 2003 at the young age of 58, I wept. A true American classic, a true lover of life, a man who's music soothed many souls & contributed to much lovemaking. We miss you Barry. #RestinPower

This was one of his great successes, being a romantic ballad although I see it a little sad. Barry white was one of the great artists in history, his voice is incomparable and very good. Good music is no longer made like in those days. Barry white will never be forgotten.🥰🥰🥰😌😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️👼🙏
I love his version of this beautiful song!! Just brings back so many memories. They don't make 'em like that anymore!! R.I.P. Barry White. Thank you for the music! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
La buona musica non diventa vecchia, allora Beethoven lo dovremmo buttare. Le canzonette diventano vecchie e lasciano il tempo che trovano e chi se le ricorda più
I was in my early teens din the 70s and didn’t realize how amazing these lyrics were until I reached my twenties. Now I’m in my fifties and can’t get enough of these songs. Some bring tears to my eyes for cherished memories. Thank you for the compilation. 🥰🥰🥰

A very special song sung by the master of romantic soul. My girlfriend then wife played this late into the night and although we split 23yrs later it still remains one of my favourites.
1-7-2024 BARRY WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE GREAT SINGER. TOO MANY ,WHO HAVE PASSSED TOO SOON,BUT GRATEFUL WE STILL HAVE THEIR MUSIC. LEGENDS IN THEIR OWN TIME... NEVER CAN BE DUPLICATED; EVENTHOUGH, YOUNGER SINGERS CAN SING AS WELL BUT NOT AS GREAT STILL LOVE BARRY ❤
I swear Barry was from a another universe! This is my favorite Billy Joel song, and this is almost as good. That just shows how great Barry was. RIP Maestro!
Not many songs are better than the original (Billy Joel, a fine artist in his own right) but this is. A fine testimony to the inimitable and brilliant Barry White.
you know this is the first time hearing this version of this song. I always loved the song and I know Billy joel wrote it and love his version but this is wonderful to. I always thought of singing it to a woman who I had feelings for because it says so much about how I would feel for her. ( I know dreamer) but it's a shame that you don't hear songs like this more, you know true feelings about someone. we need more true love songs. very few make them anymore. I thank you for this version.
i lived in a era of O.g , and Wise men and i remember every summer Pops would play Dominoes an whoop up on everyone. my whole block was filled with everyone of all colors.. and this song was jammin. we used to complain cuz we was young at the time but now that im humble and more wiser, i jam this in there remembrance .. R.I.P to my legends
Your reaction was normal, you just don't understand their kind of slow music then, but now you understand as you are older and slowing down too, pray you get my drift.
This was the times of great music and LOVE BERRY MICHAEL PRINCE ISLEY BROTHERS. Lord I just want someone to talk to Want you just the way you are. RIP BERRY WHITE I’ll never forget your contribution to LOVE❤️
