Barry White - "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up"

[Bob]

I think it's the best of his big hits

[Deleted]

Not my favorite by him, but I like it.

[mst3k]

Me too.

[snoman]

Great song, as most of Barry's tunes are. My favorite is probably "It's Ecstacy, When You Lay Down Next To Me".

[bluenote]

I like Lisa Stansfield version better

[reception]

I like it.

Barry White swore that, growing up, his voice was trebly. That changed when he was 13: “It frightened me with all the vibrating and stuff going on, and it sure frightened the hell out of my mother,” he said in 1977. “From then on, the voice was what it is today. Superclass.” Repeat: “the voice,” a basso even its owner thought of as a separate entity. That’s how resonant White was. He sounded the most direct come-hither in all of disco (where there was lots of competition), then watched his music get revived in the Nineties, helped along by a canny guest appearance on The Simpsons. —M.M.
