  • How Barry White Tried To WARN Luther Vandross Of Clive Davis (And His Lust For Men).
    Barry starts by saying that he’s not excluded from the problems of piracy and bootlegging. Here's the kicker: he believes greed is the root cause. When people get greedy, it always backfires. The same companies crying about going out of business are the ones making blank tapes that allow people to record music without paying. Today, technology makes it easy to record music for free.

    I must say that Luther Vandross’s sexual orientation was his business as far as I am concerned, but his music transcended all of that! Back in the day when I was trying get next to a girl I liked, I wasn’t concerned about Luther’s sexuality, I just liked the mood that his voice and music created. All I needed was my “Hoopty”, a bottle of “Swiss Up” and a “fine sister” and some 🎵 Barry, Luther and “Smokey” music playing, and it let the fun begin!!! I appreciate this video which has given me just a small look behind the scenes about what these artists had to endure back then. Very enlightening, thank you! RIP Barry and Luther. 🙏🏾💐✊🏾✌🏾

      By the way. Black people are not homophobic nor do we have a deep obsession for toxic masculinity. Just because we don't agree or embrace homosexuality as a community, doesn't mean we are homophobic. We just don't agree with it or believe it's best for us. And our men being men is NOT toxic masculinity. I don't know about the rest of the Black people who watched this, but those statements are a crazy disrespectful in my opinion and thumbing the video down. You all are going to learn that you can't just say what you want about us. Just like jewish people and gays, you are going to learn to keep our people out your mouth or suffer the consequences. You will learn that today.

    Clive Davis was a horrible person. A perfect example of those who wield too much power. What he did to other talented artists is disgraceful. Phyllis Hyman and Angela Bofill were two well-known victims of his games. The rampant greed and corruption of the music industry and the unbalanced amount of power in the hands a few is what led to the end of the careers of so many talented artists. What is so ironic is that today, there are so many in the industry who are sorely lacking in talent and yet seem to thrive. I guess the bar is set really low these days.
