Born in 1957 so I was a late teen in this magical era of American R&B and Soul. An older man like yourself was truly blessed to have witnessed the birth of rock and roll and all that followed it. You have great taste and I'm sure, much wisdom too. May you have many future years of health and happiness Sir.
January 1974 I worked my last shift in the steel mill. The next morning I got on a bus to the Pittsburgh airport to move to California. The temperature was close to zero degrees. My brother picked me up at the San Francisco airport and it was a glorious day driving over the Bay bridge. It was then that this song came on the radio. Was feeling like I never had before. Driving over the bay on a glorious sunny day and listening to this song. It was my start to a whole new life.
Totally agree. I was a young youthful student in London aged 17. Best time zone to grow up with all the greatest musicals and songs. I am now 65 and still listening to it.
I'm 59 and I can't imagine not having grown up without Barry Whites music ...If your looking down on these comments Mr.White....Thank You so so much for making my Life more enjoyable!!!
Your so right Barry White music is so missed I listen to what my children play and that’s not real music I’m 63 and miss all that music Barry you were a great singer and well missed 😀👍👍
Was 10 when this song was being played it was the intro to the fabulous days of disco for me I wish I could go back for one day see my mum and dad again and all those people that have now passed away I was blessed to be young in the 70s love love love those times ❤️❤️❤️
This song reminds me of my Mom. She was on a Caribbean cruise in the mid 1970’s and she said this song played on while the ship cruised through the ocean! ❤️
When I was a kid and my Mom had her home stereo turned on and this song started playing on the radio, I would always run from wherever I was to lay down next to the stereo speakers and close my eyes and just enjoy the melody. This song will always remind me of my Mom. She has been gone over 35 years, I miss her so very much.
@Tom Bell~ wherever you are and no matter what you are doing every time you hear this song your mom is sending you her love to you and family. imagine if you can in Heaven she has met Barry White and he was playing this song it’s her way of telling you she will be at your side when your time has come. the tears we shed here make the flowers in Heaven bloom.
Yes , indeed . Writen ? And Instrumental Music with no Lyrics ? How ? Unless , the Music itself , of course is well writen musically with Special Rythm
This is my favorite song in life! It's smooth, it's mellow, it's soothing. It makes me think of happy times, when all of my family was still alive; when we had trees on the block, when there was still a thing called community. It gets to my soul and marrow. This may not make sense, but then again, some things just can't be explained!
I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song that will live forever.
Pure nostalgia - I was in my late 20s when Love's Theme hit the charts ( '73 ), and I loved it from when I first heard it. This year I will turn 78 . What I want to know is how the Hell did I get from there to here so damned quick! Anyone else relate?
Oh my. I hurt for you. I introduced my father to this tune many years ago and he just loved it...and then died in 2014. I still miss him seven years on, so can only remember the sadness you are dealing with right now. It's still there and always will be, but the sharp edge is dulled a bit with time too. I hope you will experience the same. All my best to see you through these terrible times. Maybe it will help, if only a tiny bit. And otherwise, if I may be so bold, do remember this tune literally SOARS upward with hope and happiness. I think your mom would still want to give this gift to you, as my father would wish to share it we me. We are both sad...but lucky to have had them too.
Yes they do, and they have largely been lost, except in film scores. An emotional instrument the violin. Soaring . They often bring out the tears in me (and they are right now). Certainly the best background instrument too, the violin.... But not here. :D Here they are on the very cusp. And it couldn't be any better.
This song is a masterpiece, timeless and lovely. It's why all of us fans come to this channel everyday to hear this.The string arrangements are marvelous!
Sho' You Right !! Wish radio stations would play Barry Whites' music so that I could hear it whenever I get into the car! Barry Whites' music conjures the actual feeling of the serenity in mutual respect in giving and receiving the of caring,intimacy
While in bumper to bumper traffic I was blasting Love's Theme and someone asked me what's the name of that song. I'm 66 and still play their music today. Barry White's arrangement is perfection. A timeless classic.
Beautiful music from a time when being a kid was riding around on your bike with a transistor radio hanging from the handlebars and having fun with your friends...no Instagram filling your head with poison.
1973! Nixon in the White house, 10¢ candy bars, sodas, chips, ice creams, 5¢ scoop of ice cream at Thriftys. 55¢ Big Mac's and Whopper's. 35¢ a gallon gas! Gas loving guzzling hogs land yacht's all over USA roads and freeways. Bought this same album brand new in 1973! for $1.99. Still have it. Memories of a time when America was still great even with the so called issues of the time. Never to return, but only in a Pipedream. So glad I lived it. Was only 13 then. USA TITANIC now sinking fast and is a nightmare to live in now.
@@edwardsimon5093 Then there's "Theme from SWAT" By Rythum Heritage another great instrumental. I have this tune both the shorten longer version on 45.
I was 12 and had to listened to this through SW (short wave) radio. well, I live in Indonesia and this kind of song was not in radio's playlist and no store would sell this. then I got Barry White's cassette ... bam! thank you!
Felt this comment as I lost my dad as well and he too listened to these songs in the 70s and now I’m stuck and love the 70s songs. I’m 57 (born in 1967)..forever thankful, Daddy🥰 RIH🙏🏽
@@magalyfernandez8816Man... timing. I wrote that comment about the 8-track a month ago. I was born in '70, and just lost my Dad a couple of weeks ago. I've been helping my Mom clean out their house, and listening to 70s music the entire time.
This was the first tune that introduced me to the legendary Barry White's music in 1973. Hard to believe that this classic tune is 50 years old. The Maestro himself is gone but his musical legacy lives on. RIP 🙏
Time flies It's the only currency with no refunds only deposits!! Edit" i.e. You can never get spent time back. However, you can choose you spend your time!!
I’m now70 years old I was able to see the master live in my local venue inportsmouth city Uk in 1970 something will never forget for the rest of my life god bless
I was 10 years old when this came out. I'm now 60 and it never gets old, brings back such great memories! This time of my life was awesome. To bad the younger generation just doesn't get it. The 70s rule!
I heard this while watching SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN ,& imagined that Steve Austin was so perfect that he would hear Barry White while running @ 60 mph!! Anyone else!!
what do you mean? The primary generation to start the criticism of disco and 70s aesthethics like architecture and interior design, im a zoomer and i have more positive opinions of 70s culture than many boomers. boomers also all declared disco dead in 1980, dont act like yall always loved it
This is one of my grandmother's favorite song. She is a portuguese lady born in the 40's who now is facing dementia. She told me one day that this song really touched her and it brings good memories, so I play this often to her. We sit outside at her kitchen's balcony, contemplating the song and enjoying the view. I will keep on playing this forever so I can revive these memories when she's gone
I dedicate this song to my dad!!! Who's going on 83 years old!!! I had a great daddy!!! I'm 53 yrs old, and I can still remember my dad taking me to the Rialto Theater here in Atlanta to see Godzilla vs Megalon!!!! Lol. I remember this song playing before the movie started. He also would, believe it or not, take me to the zoo every time I asked him! I don't remember him ever turning me down! He has early stage of dementia; my daddy cries sometimes because he can't find things because he forgets where he puts them. Wow, this is tough. I love him! He saved my life once from drowning, he bought my first and second car! But back to the zoo! He would hold me on his shoulders as I looked at Willie B! It was just me and him doing these things! He saved my life again at Six Flags!! I got on the parachutes with him, and I slid down under the bar. He said that his eyes were close, because we were so high, and he said when he opened them, I was hanging on to the bar that was supposed to be across my lap. He pulled me back up. I can go on and on, but I just wanted to dedicate this masterpiece of a song to my great and wonderful dad!!! I think of him and us when I hear this!! Great memories of us together in the 70s! I never felt unloved by him still to this day!! He still tries to look after me!!! What a good man!!!! I love you dad!!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!!!
It's late now in chilly North Dakota. Just woke up...could not sleep as a good friend is passing away. Somehow, this beautiful classic always brings me peace and hope. May anyone who hears this Love Theme find comfort and peace. God Bless us All. Amen.
What a beautiful post Jolene, full of hope, we need that and I'm so sorry about your good friend !! You live in a great state (I've hiked in Theodore Roosevelt NP, and I keep very good memories). God bless you ! Cheers from South of France ! Gérard
A lot of music industry executives hated artists like him because he wrote and produced everything..he was at the top of the food chain with several other black artists like Donna Summer and Issac Hayes....they couldn't rip him off like they wanted...so they orchestrated the Disco sucks propaganda because they wanted to divide music back into Black and White...Rock and Rhythm & Blues!
This was a huge hit in Australia. I remember hearing it on radio station 2SM around the same time each morning when we would be driving along Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach on our way to work. I loved it then and still love it now. The memories keep flooding back!
I was 27 and which ever club you went to in L.A. this is what you heard. The classiest Disco ever ! I still play this in my car and I'm 75 ! (A YOUNG 75 !) 👍💙
Germany, Lower Saxony, Jever calling! Respect man! Born 1962. Raised up with Barrys wonderful music. Helped me a lot in my bedroom. All girls melt away... Stay tall ol man and make America really great with Biden.
I'll be 62 in a few weeks. Today, I heard this at my favorite barbershop, and man! The memories flooded back. Thank God I grew up in the 70s and got to experience great music like this from Barry White, and the other musicians and singers of yesteryear...like Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, Teddy Pendergrass, Gladys Knight, Al Green, Earth, Wind & Fire, Average White Band, Isley Brothers, Ohio Players, Parliament-Funkadelic, etc. We had/have it good!!! We heard it when it was new, and we get to reminisce.
I lost my precious wife to cancer...she was only 59 years old...We absolutely loved this music and it brings me such good memories...Prayers to all who have lost loved ones...
I lost my husband at the age of 32 I was 13 when this song was out and I still love it today and I am 62 now . Takes me back love all the 70s and 80s music 🎶
Esta es una verdadera joya musical. Representa toda una década de música genial. Yo nací en ese año: '73, pero en los 80's seguía sonando. Ya no se hace música como esta. Creo que el clímax de la buena música fue en 2 décadas: los 70's y los 80's. Llegados a mediados de los 90's todo comenzó a degenerar y hoy, todo suena igual: sin personalidad, sin magia, sin fuerza, sin alma y, lo peor, contaminado de vulgaridad, y el máximo exponente de la vulgaridad y pornografía musical es el reggaetón.
another beautiful job! My girl and I boogied to this in '73,,,been married now 39 years! 44 years including dating in school. graduated in '71 still going strong.
70s and 80s were the very best due to the harmonic usages of orchestrational arrangements just like this music. These kind of flowing orchestrational arrangements were lacking in the 50s and 60s
Sadly my Dad died in 1973 when I was 12 and I have been heart broken ever since. That said this theme taught me how to live and love all creatures great and small.
Who is listening in 2020. I could listen to the song 10 times a day and still not get tired of it. Great song to be listening to driving down the road especially in a muscle car
Surely, one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. I can never listen to Love's Theme just once -- always in a loop. Those soaring strings, the French horns, the harp flourish, the entire musical arrangement! Sheer brilliance. So much beauty and joy that it sometimes makes me weep!
Still in 2023, this is THE MOTHER OF ALL LOVE'S THEMES there are & will be. Thanks for such a beautiful & glorious song. Rest in Peace, Mr. Barry White❤💘💘❤
My mother, God bless her, is 82 years old and has loved this song for the almost 50 years it has been around! She plays it quite often at her house when she is listening to music along with Love Is Blue, A Taste of Honey, Music Box Dancer, and other great instrumentals from the 1960's and 70's. What a great time it was to be alive!!!!!
@@nashtndawg Thank you for bringing up “soulful strut”. I haven’t heard that in so long but I agree with you. I’m going to make sure I find it and listen to it again
@@antoniosalvatore703 Exactly! It's like the Glenn Miller music, the Tommy Dorsey music, the Andrews Sisters vocalizing stuff, the Peggy Lee... man. You're right. Good music never dies
14 December 2017: I grew up in the seventies, which is my favorite decade. Barry White was one of my favorite singers and so was the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Al Green, Stylistics, Eagles, Elton John, Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Michael & Jacksons 5, Diana Ross and lots of one hit wonders from the 70's. No cursing, No bad mouthing women, just great music.
Anthony Paul, ABSOLUTELY. I'm with you there Brother. When this song came out, I was just that... a KID. Not a worry in the world, just the sound of beautiful music by the Maestro himself, Mr. Barry White, family, friends, fun. Best time of my life.
You know what? It was true godliness. Because positive energy is what it's all about and when we were on the dance floor there wasn't anything more positive.
HI KARL: I was 13 in 1973. WOW HOW I MISS THOSE DAYS! Those really and truly were the GOOD OLD DAYS! No I take that back-----THE GREAT OLD DAYS! God bless ya!
We were living in Bismarck, ND at the time when a tornado was spotted. My Dad "piled" all of us in the Dodge Polara, said goodbye to the neighbor and off we went TOP SPEED!! This song was on the radio. My Dad will forever be my Hero.
@@ledonwissner2200 Thank you, I miss him very much. Now I have Dad's loaded 2005 Chevy Silverado in storage. 46,000 on it and it STILL smells FACTORY! I only drive it for about 2 months in the Summer. Last year I put on 102 miles, so yes...I baby it! Everyone wants to buy it!
I remember being a kid and hearing this song and it always made me feel like I was about to take flight. I would shut my eyes and the music just filled me up until I thought I would explode with life. I know this sounds a bit over the top but it is true and when i listened to it even now, I feel that same joy that can only come from music like this.
Ohhh me too....the absolute high!!!! Transcending all woes...someone said its on God's Playlist and of that I am sure..since he wrote it through Barry!!!!!
Same here only father was the drinker what a nightmare growing up an only child in a home that was broken always fighting about the money we never had .
Estuve buscando por muchos años está canción. Mi mamá murió durante la pandemia en 2020. Ella solía bailar esta melodía con mucha ligereza y encanto. Solía sacarme a bailar. Ella se sentía joven al bailar y me transmitió su energía. Te he encontrado, mamá. Sigue bailando con los angeles. ❤
Cuanto lo siento por su perdida, retomó sus palabras y tiene mucha razón su mami está en las alturas de los cielos disfrutandolo porque este tema en palabras simples y comunes es celestial, un fuerte abrazo dios te bendiga 🙏
George Harley Rider the 70’s produced such a phenomenal amount of incredible music! Best decade for music by leaps and bounds, and film was having another golden age in Hollywood, I wish I could have lived then, it makes me sad and worried what’s become of our world, music, art, film... it’s all atrocious today
Still LOVE this song today...we kick off our pool opening EVERY summer with this song. Love Barry White and LOVE 70s music! How can you be in a bad mood listening to this?!
The perfect fusing of orchestra and electric guitar. In the early disco days a DJ could get by just playing the King and Queen of Disco. And did! I am going to throw in a little Norma Desmond and say. We didnt need words. We had beats. And that we did. No words! Love to Love you, I feel Love, Fly Robin Fly, The Hustle.
This blew my mind when I first heard it at 12 years old in 1974 and it still does to this day..Thanks forever to the maestro himself Barry White for this classic...
AMEN to that Mr. Diamond! I am older than you (pushing 70), but I remember when I first heard this song... I was totally blown away, especially by the violins. At least we can look back and reminisce on those wonderful, uncomplicated, non-pandemic days. G-d bless!
This is a masterpiece by Barry White, right along with Isaac Haye's Theme from Shaft. Both should be played to young folk, especially young black folk, so that they can hear what excellent and professional music sounds like. When I hear one, and think of the other. Barry White and Isaac Hayes could do it all, ie, sing, arrange, produce, and put together an orchestra. Absolutely awesome. Check out both songs.
James - agree 100% with your comment. It's neither ageist nor subjective to say that compared to what is forgettable in popular music today, the songwriting quality of masterpieces like Loves Theme will be remembered 40 years from now.
I dont know why and really dont understand what has happened in the USA since the 1970s and why it is so divided now, it wasnt always so obvious in the 1970s ands thats from my own personal observations since I was there in the late 1970s. Doesnt make sense that a country that produces music that obviously Unites so many different types of people, can still have these "stark" racial divisions in the "advanced society" of the 21st century, just doesnt make any sense to me at all.
The 70s...the golden age of music. Many of the songs of the era will bring a tear or two to the eyes. Reminiscing on those magnificent years. Happiest times of my life.
You have no idea how much I understand and have the same feelings. I know they say that looking back in time makes everything look better than it was, BUT IT WAS.
Gene Page was the man who arranged these magnificent strings and horns!! How about a “thumbs up” for him? He and Barry were very good friends and their legacy should be remembered by all who hear this tune!!
Very late one night many years ago I was alone and driving across Central Texas in my Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III, top down, pulling about 2800 RPMs and listening to the throaty rumble of an engine that was perfectly in sync. I was the only one on that long, straight highway and I had never seen so many stars or breathed fresher air. This song was playing on the tape deck. There are those rare times when you are perfectly happy and at peace with the world. This was one of mine.
I had a really similar moment only last month. My dad and I just bought a Jaguar XJS V12. There was a break in the bad weather, so I took it out for a drive. Where it's such a cad's car, for a laugh my dad had put a Barry White CD in the changer. I came to a road closed sign, turned around and drove back on a lovely bit of empty road in the rare Feburary sunshine, and this track came on. I knew it would all be short lived because of the current events unfolding, so made the most of it. I've never been more relaxed.
I'm the same age. Born in 1962. On the cusp between true boomers and generation X. I think people our age have a special appreciation for music like this. Good thoughts.
This tune a master piece of music was wri by Barry... A man that couldn't read or write music.. He would walk around. Los Angeles humming and singing into a dictafone to write the score for each instrument and give the tape to a musical arranger to record it... Genius dose not sum up his talent. Gifted might come close, but not close enough. ❤️

January 1974 I worked my last shift in the steel mill. The next morning I got on a bus to the Pittsburgh airport to move to California. The temperature was close to zero degrees. My brother picked me up at the San Francisco airport and it was a glorious day driving over the Bay bridge. It was then that this song came on the radio. Was feeling like I never had before. Driving over the bay on a glorious sunny day and listening to this song. It was my start to a whole new life.
Beautiful ❤
Wow imaginé cada detalle que narraste, que hermoso a mi me viene a mi mente mi niñez y mi padre en su taller oyendola ❤️

Your story sounds like the great times I was raised in🌻🌞✌🏽☮️
Thanks for sharing this beautiful story, it played like a movie in my mind 👍
I don't know you but have to say I'm a bit envious of that memory.
Those of us who were so blessed to have grown up in the 70s listening to this music will be smiling our whole lives! ❤
Totally agree. I was a young youthful student in London aged 17. Best time zone to grow up with all the greatest musicals and songs.
I am now 65 and still listening to it.
I was fortunate to hear this music as a young adult during the time I worked in my first job.
Facts 💯
I couldn't agree more. This was when music was really music.
we were blessed to be born in era of the greatest music ever. xx
I'm 59 and I can't imagine not having grown up without Barry Whites music ...If your looking down on these comments Mr.White....Thank You so so much for making my Life more enjoyable!!!
Bro good music never die still forever 😊

I love Barry White and Ulimited Orchestra ❤😊
I'm 56 and I agree with you. The best music I've heart in my life
Your so right Barry White music is so missed I listen to what my children play and that’s not real music I’m 63 and miss all that music Barry you were a great singer and well missed 😀👍👍
I'm now 77 and STILL play this in my car every time I drive ! It NEVER gets old ( but I do) ! I'm STILL young in my soul !!!!
You'll forever be
So do I...
Every superhero needs their own theme music :)

This deserves so much more than it is given time for
Very true Barry was the man.
This song will turn 50 years old in 12 days! It still sounds fresh and new!😀

This song reminds me of my Mom. She was on a Caribbean cruise in the mid 1970’s and she said this song played on while the ship cruised through the ocean! ❤️
This song should be blasted into space
to let anyone listening that there is indeed intelligent life here.
Thank you Barry.
Well said, I too think similarly of my favourite musician whose songs touches the soul.

When I was a kid and my Mom had her home stereo turned on and this song started playing on the radio, I would always run from wherever I was to lay down next to the stereo speakers and close my eyes and just enjoy the melody. This song will always remind me of my Mom. She has been gone over 35 years, I miss her so very much.
Me to Tom. I actually love love love the melody. When you listen to the song and melody nothing else matters. Or exists at the time
@Tom Bell~ wherever
you are
and no matter
what you are
doing every time
you hear this song
your mom is sending
you her love to you
and family. imagine
if you can in
Heaven she has met
Barry White
and he was playing
this song
it’s her way of telling
you she will
be at your side when
your time has
come. the tears we
shed here make
the flowers in Heaven bloom.
Great music
It is not over yet. I get it.. let's love one more day 💕
Blessed times ♥️
Who is listening to this beautiful song in 2021.
I could listen to this song 10 times a day and never get tired of this beautiful music.

72, year's old now and still love it,
In my opinion, this is the most beautiful instrumental ever written/performed. 💙💙💙
I totally agree with you! Sometimes feel a little bit sad when I listen to them! But I love this song so much
Just 2 years later we got The Hustle, them 2 vying for my #1.
I could not agree more. ♥
Yes , indeed .
Writen ? And Instrumental Music with no Lyrics ? How ?
Unless , the Music itself , of course is well writen musically with Special Rythm
Is just beautiful.
This is my favorite song in life! It's smooth, it's mellow, it's soothing. It makes me think of happy times, when all of my family was still alive; when we had trees on the block, when there was still a thing called community. It gets to my soul and marrow. This may not make sense, but then again, some things just can't be explained!
So very, very, true!❤

When you know, you know. And we know!.
So understand...life then was so pure & simple. Love , Connection & Humanity was real . Not like today.
You just said some of the same things this master piece does for me. Thanks ❤️
Such a tune! Why can’t music be like this now? The world would be a difference place
it needs a genious to create something like this and genious dont grow ia one maceta.
Maybe nobody has thought to write any.
The corporations and politicians don't want it being played anymore.
Why can't music be like this now? WE MUST BRING MUSIC LIKE THIS BACK TO TODAY, and
PLAY IT and PLAY IT !!
They want to make everything ugly and fake.
I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song that will live forever.
It’s only a day since you commented! Great tune, great memories ! I’m 69 years young 😁 Hope you keep on enjoying this music !
Have a beautiful life...don't settle on anything less..😀
Barry White was the composer, conductor, and musician of my junior year in high school. This song still raises my spirits every time I hear it.
Pure nostalgia - I was in my late 20s when Love's Theme hit the charts ( '73 ), and I loved it from when I first heard it. This year I will turn 78 .
What I want to know is how the Hell did I get from there to here so damned quick! Anyone else relate?
Great analysis.....its like poof we went thru a time machine....
Blink of an eye Jay.
I was 9 when this came out. And I feel like I'm 20. Mathematics , however, doesn't agree.
I am
I was 13 and now an early 60’s boomer … still love the song … always giving me happy feelings. 😍
My Mom used to dance me in her arms to this when I was little to calm me down. She passed away 2 days ago and I play this song every chance I get.
Oh my. I hurt for you. I introduced my father to this tune many years ago and he just loved it...and then died in 2014. I still miss him seven years on, so can only remember the sadness you are dealing with right now. It's still there and always will be, but the sharp edge is dulled a bit with time too. I hope you will experience the same.
All my best to see you through these terrible times. Maybe it will help, if only a tiny bit. And otherwise, if I may be so bold, do remember this tune literally SOARS upward with hope and happiness. I think your mom would still want to give this gift to you, as my father would wish to share it we me. We are both sad...but lucky to have had them too.
I'm so sorry 💔💔💔
Sorry for your loss
God bless her
Same here :c
I'm 54yrs old I remember this song when I was a kid in the 70s ❤❤❤❤love it

Still my favourite song. It’s now 2024 and I can listen to this all day long ❤️🤟🏼
I'm 69 yrs old and still Jamming to this song!!!!
Turning 63 and I still love this song. It brings back really great memories from band ❤

Same here. Letting it play all day!
So true GayLee, what a Tune🎉🥳✨
I Don't Care What Kind Of Music You Like, This Is A GEM That We All LOVE 🙏🏻
Nada más dime enjoy
Agree
Exactly
🤳💥💃
This is nothing short of a masterpiece! RIP, Barry.
The violins sound like they are actually singing themselves. No words needed. Just listen. Thank you Barry.
Yes they do, and they have largely been lost, except in film scores. An emotional instrument the violin. Soaring .
They often bring out the tears in me (and they are right now). Certainly the best background instrument too, the violin....
But not here. :D Here they are on the very cusp. And it couldn't be any better.
This song is a masterpiece, timeless and lovely. It's why all of us fans come to this channel everyday to hear this.The string arrangements are marvelous!
Sho' You Right !! Wish radio stations would play Barry Whites' music so that I could hear it whenever I get into the car! Barry Whites' music conjures the actual feeling of the serenity in mutual respect in giving and receiving the of caring,intimacy
Your absolutely right Annie and the words are comforting
Yes.
18 years old in 1973 young and carefree and listening to classic songs like this......unforgettable days
I was 10 years old and we still loved it.
I was seven! Love it then. Love it now. Those were great music days.
I was 13 in 73. The 70s was the best music of the that time and still is.
I was also 18, high school class of 1973 - a great time to be alive!
I was 17 in Japan.I lived in Roppongi, Tokyo.I often went to the disco.
While in bumper to bumper traffic I was blasting Love's Theme and someone asked me what's the name of that song. I'm 66 and still play their music today. Barry White's arrangement is perfection. A timeless classic.
Don't forget Gene Page, who co-arranged. His solo album is excellent.
bruh what kind of chariot you drive?
Beautiful music from a time when being a kid was riding around on your bike with a transistor radio hanging from the handlebars and having fun with your friends...no Instagram filling your head with poison.
Yes 👍
Oh men, you are so right....!
💯
1973! Nixon in the White house, 10¢ candy bars, sodas, chips, ice creams, 5¢ scoop of ice cream at Thriftys. 55¢ Big Mac's and Whopper's. 35¢ a gallon gas! Gas loving guzzling hogs land yacht's all over USA roads and freeways. Bought this same album brand new in 1973! for $1.99. Still have it. Memories of a time when America was still great even with the so called issues of the time. Never to return, but only in a Pipedream. So glad I lived it. Was only 13 then. USA TITANIC now sinking fast and is a nightmare to live in now.
Bless ya D

👍🤙🤟
Beautiful song. Takes me back to 1974 when I was in high school and I was 17. If only I could go back there and leave 2020 far behind.
I was only 13 when this tune came out 8th grade. Another great tune was MFSB''s The Sound Of Philadelphia still have that 45 from 1973.
Me to, Linda. Be Safe.
You and me both 🤣🤣🤣
@@edwardsimon5093 Then there's "Theme from SWAT" By Rythum Heritage another great instrumental. I have this tune both the shorten longer version on 45.
I was 12 and had to listened to this through SW (short wave) radio. well, I live in Indonesia and this kind of song was not in radio's playlist and no store would sell this. then I got Barry White's cassette ... bam! thank you!
The best music ever!!! Nothing can compare to the 70's !!
Unforgettable!!!
My grandfather threw me for a loop in my teenage years I asked where the song came from and he told me it was from chariots of fire LOL
100% The Love, the Strings, The Joy, The Innocence, The Hope, The Heat... everything xx
they should make this the anthem of the whole world! ;-)
Nope
They definitely don't make music like this
I'm 63 never get tired of listening to this...I would have it on repeat continuously...oh the memories ❤❤❤
60 HERE.......Amazing music, instruments just amazing. Fluid poetry.....
mee too cookiexx
Мне тоже нравится эта музыка!
Me 2!
The memories are priceless.
Thanks, Dad. Playing this masterpiece in the car stereo. Only 15. Missing you Dad.
I can hear the click of the 8-track from here.
Same here with my dad!❤
Felt this comment as I lost my dad as well and he too listened to these songs in the 70s and now I’m stuck and love the 70s songs. I’m 57 (born in 1967)..forever thankful, Daddy🥰 RIH🙏🏽
@@GldnrR31t3r😮 remembering those clicks!!!! Our kids today have no clue …
@@magalyfernandez8816Man... timing. I wrote that comment about the 8-track a month ago. I was born in '70, and just lost my Dad a couple of weeks ago. I've been helping my Mom clean out their house, and listening to 70s music the entire time.
This was the first tune that introduced me to the legendary Barry White's music in 1973. Hard to believe that this classic tune is 50 years old. The Maestro himself is gone but his musical legacy lives on. RIP 🙏
Time flies It's the only currency with no refunds only deposits!!
Edit" i.e. You can never get spent time back. However, you can choose you spend your time!!
50 Year Star Award 🌟 🏆
I think this may be the prettiest piece of music in the last 50 years. Timeless. Beautiful. Still listening.
Lisa Lee yes it is even now... it has and gives you the most unforgettable vibes that it just feels so right 💗🎶💯
Absolutely agree.
A close second to theme from a Summer Place
@@charleswalters6559 Yes, but that was over ten years earlier...
I completely agree. Greetings from Brazil.
I’m now70 years old I was able to see the master live in my local venue inportsmouth city Uk in 1970 something will never forget for the rest of my life god bless
I was 10 years old when this came out. I'm now 60 and it never gets old, brings back such great memories! This time of my life was awesome. To bad the younger generation just doesn't get it. The 70s rule!
I was 16 and you're right it never gets old
I heard this while watching SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN ,& imagined that Steve Austin was so perfect that he would hear Barry White while running @ 60 mph!! Anyone else!!
what do you mean? The primary generation to start the criticism of disco and 70s aesthethics like architecture and interior design, im a zoomer and i have more positive opinions of 70s culture than many boomers. boomers also all declared disco dead in 1980, dont act like yall always loved it
Great old banger. Gets em lubricated and movin'...lol
Hey Folks🎸 I was ten Also🥳🕺 Still Jamming them same tunes and loving life👍 Bless U and ya family 2Many many more years 4U as long as u Jamming 2🎉 .
There will never be the same music and sound like the 70's & 80's......the best ever, it will never fade !
Ladie and woman bell bell bell sonic
It's timeless
💯💯💯🥂
Exactly the best music was the 70s and 80s nothing beats it
Soooooooooooooo not true - I make my own beautiful music - but I get ya point xD
This is one of my grandmother's favorite song. She is a portuguese lady born in the 40's who now is facing dementia. She told me one day that this song really touched her and it brings good memories, so I play this often to her. We sit outside at her kitchen's balcony, contemplating the song and enjoying the view. I will keep on playing this forever so I can revive these memories when she's gone
Claudia thank you for sharing. My Dad loved this and so do I.
God bless her Claudia. She is a lady of great taste! This is music heaven by the legendary Barry White.
Cathay retired its last 747 in 2016
Praying up for her she is one of my peers 🙏😢
God bless you hermano
I dedicate this song to my dad!!! Who's going on 83 years old!!! I had a great daddy!!! I'm 53 yrs old, and I can still remember my dad taking me to the Rialto Theater here in Atlanta to see Godzilla vs Megalon!!!! Lol. I remember this song playing before the movie started. He also would, believe it or not, take me to the zoo every time I asked him! I don't remember him ever turning me down! He has early stage of dementia; my daddy cries sometimes because he can't find things because he forgets where he puts them. Wow, this is tough. I love him! He saved my life once from drowning, he bought my first and second car! But back to the zoo! He would hold me on his shoulders as I looked at Willie B!
It was just me and him doing these things! He saved my life again at Six Flags!! I got on the parachutes with him, and I slid
down under the bar. He said that his eyes were close, because we were so high, and he said when he opened them, I was hanging on to the bar that was supposed to be across my lap. He pulled me back up. I can go on and on, but I just wanted to dedicate this masterpiece of a song to my great and wonderful dad!!!
I think of him and us when I hear this!! Great memories of us together in the 70s! I never felt unloved by him still to this day!! He still tries to look after me!!! What a good man!!!! I love you dad!!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!!!
Zooo lekker.
❤
You truly are blessed!
YOUR DAD WAS AN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME DAD.... MAN U BLESSED!!!
This is the song they play during intermissions or before beginning of concerts at the Folk Arts Theater near CCP
It's late now in chilly North Dakota. Just woke up...could not sleep as a good friend is passing away. Somehow, this beautiful classic always brings me peace and hope. May anyone who hears this Love Theme find comfort and peace. God Bless us All. Amen.
What a beautiful post Jolene, full of hope, we need that and I'm so sorry about your good friend !! You live in a great state (I've hiked in Theodore Roosevelt NP, and I keep very good memories). God bless you ! Cheers from South of France ! Gérard
I have also found peace and hope listening to this! May God bless and keep you as well!
Jolene: read "Your Sacred Self Making The Decision to be Free" by Wayne W. Dyer.With LOVE. Ana Peregrina.💛💙❤️
you couldn't pay me to live in North Dakota..lol
Thank you for that jolene , I hope you friend slips away peacefully 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Barry White was a musical genius. Sad I don't really hear many people talk about Barry's music these days. R.I.P Maestro Of Love! 💛
A lot of music industry executives hated artists like him because he wrote and produced everything..he was at the top of the food chain with several other black artists like Donna Summer and Issac Hayes....they couldn't rip him off like they wanted...so they orchestrated the Disco sucks propaganda because they wanted to divide music back into Black and White...Rock and Rhythm & Blues!
Barry retaliated with 90s soul music saying ha! Beat that they couldn't say nothing then
A genuine talent
@@antoniomartino8520 oh yes
Today is Barry's birthday September 12th celebrate his life
I don't think we knew it back in the 70's .....but we had the best music ever.
So many great artists .
Great anthems like this.
i know right, literally countless great artists, solo and groups and countless great songs...
Exactly True.
You are sooooooo right!!!! Most awesome jams ever!!!! PEACE & LOVE!
I couldn't agree more!!! Timeless music was definitely the soundtrack for lifetime❤🎤❤
@@tomschmitz261 mhmm
This was a huge hit in Australia. I remember hearing it on radio station 2SM around the same time each morning when we would be driving along Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach on our way to work. I loved it then and still love it now. The memories keep flooding back!
I was 27 and which ever club you went to in L.A. this is what you heard. The classiest Disco ever ! I still play this in my car and I'm 75 ! (A YOUNG 75 !) 👍💙
69 here...love Barry
Absolutely , 4ever young
Germany, Lower Saxony, Jever calling! Respect man! Born 1962. Raised up with Barrys wonderful music. Helped me a lot in my bedroom. All girls melt away... Stay tall ol man and make America really great with Biden.
50 and still dancing !!
I was 23 when I dance this music, now I'm 70 and still dancing
I feel fortunate to have grown up with this music. I don't even know where this song takes me, but I do know that it was a happier place and time.
you're so right !!!!
Better believe it. 1970’s was a good time to grow up in America
Yes is was !
Agree totally
Absolutely agree!
I'll be 62 in a few weeks. Today, I heard this at my favorite barbershop, and man! The memories flooded back. Thank God I grew up in the 70s and got to experience great music like this from Barry White, and the other musicians and singers of yesteryear...like Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, Teddy Pendergrass, Gladys Knight, Al Green, Earth, Wind & Fire, Average White Band, Isley Brothers, Ohio Players, Parliament-Funkadelic, etc. We had/have it good!!! We heard it when it was new, and we get to reminisce.
I'm 63 years old Japanese. Lou Rawls, The Ojay's, The Commodores, Rufus, Gene Chandler, and Larry Graham, their music made my young heart flutter.
Happy birthday! 🎉
Abso-freaking-lutely
Please don’t forget get Earth, Wind &Fire, yes it was an awesome time!!!!!!
A memória de toda uma juventude volta na hora
Hearing this wonderful composition makes me cry ! so pure, so lovely many memories come to my mind. well .... mmm.
I lost my precious wife to cancer...she was only 59 years old...We absolutely loved this music and it brings me such good memories...Prayers to all who have lost loved ones...
I lost my beloved husband to cancer almost 4 yrs ago at age 59 . I feel your pain. The 70’s what a great decade for great music..
I lost my husband at the age of 32 I was 13 when this song was out and I still love it today and I am 62 now . Takes me back love all the 70s and 80s music 🎶
Condolences 💐
I too lost my beautiful wife to the Pfizer vax after developing blood clots.
God bless you sam.
@NYE - Dylan sorry for your loss.
Esta es una verdadera joya musical. Representa toda una década de música genial. Yo nací en ese año: '73, pero en los 80's seguía sonando. Ya no se hace música como esta. Creo que el clímax de la buena música fue en 2 décadas: los 70's y los 80's. Llegados a mediados de los 90's todo comenzó a degenerar y hoy, todo suena igual: sin personalidad, sin magia, sin fuerza, sin alma y, lo peor, contaminado de vulgaridad, y el máximo exponente de la vulgaridad y pornografía musical es el reggaetón.
No es reguetón es Mierdeton
@@claudioaugustogutierrezcar9497 muy acertado. 👍
ESTA MÚSICA ES CONTEMPORANIA POR SIEMPRE.
TU estas completamente en lo correcto
Es verdad, esta melodía podría representar lo mejor de esa época
Y de ese año, como nosotros 😁
another beautiful job! My girl and I boogied to this in '73,,,been married now 39 years! 44 years including dating in school. graduated in '71 still going strong.
just read ur comment. sounds like u and ur wife are very happy together.
***** yes we are, sitting here listening to good music and the rain outside.
+Mark Jacobsen may i ask which one are you praising mygirl talking about my giiirl, on aa cloudy.. i guess youd say...
+Mark Jacobsen just got it ty
+Michelle Waller praising my wonderful wife, almost 40 years now. we both still love the music too!
There will never be music and artists like the 50's, 60's, or 70's again. Thank goodness for recordings to keep cherish memories alive.
70s and 80s were the very best due to the harmonic usages of orchestrational arrangements just like this music. These kind of flowing orchestrational arrangements were lacking in the 50s and 60s
Sadly my Dad died in 1973 when I was 12 and I have been heart broken ever since. That said this theme taught me how to live and love all creatures great and small.
You poor darling - so glad you learned how to survive heartbreak

I have a notion to second that emotion ! This music makes my heart soar every time I have the good fortune to hear it !
Who is listening in 2020.
I could listen to the song 10 times a day and still not get tired of it.
Great song to be listening to driving down the road especially in a muscle car

I ONCE DROVE 3 HOURS STRAIGHT WITH THIS SONG ON REPEAT. I PLAYED IT AGAIN WHEN I ARRIVED HOME. MAY HIS MUSIC ENDURE FOREVER.
Similar 🎼🎵🎶🎹✅
Yup!
You don’t want this song to stop. Like love itself, you wish it could go on forever! 👩❤️👨❤️❤️❤️
Yes
I couldn't agree more
I agree!!
Surely, one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. I can never listen to Love's Theme just once -- always in a loop. Those soaring strings, the French horns, the harp flourish, the entire musical arrangement! Sheer brilliance. So much beauty and joy that it sometimes makes me weep!
I so agree one does not want it to finish
The first time I heard this song I could not believe what I was hearing...who on earth could make music like that ...HEAVENLY!!!!
John Ference It is "Heavenly."
I had the same reaction.
Moo. John Ference. Exactly!! Goosebumps!
Moo. John Ference brother Barry could and did.
Barry White
70s..Power Music..Going on 70 years old..This song can make Anyone's day a Feel Good Day..
Thank You..Barry White
Still in 2023, this is THE MOTHER OF ALL LOVE'S THEMES there are & will be. Thanks for such a beautiful & glorious song. Rest in Peace, Mr. Barry White❤💘💘❤
Great what a classic o yes
My Dad was a huge fan of this gentleman and so am I. Miss you Dad and hope to see you again ❤❤
🙏
on as tous un papa qui manque! et moi aussi j'aimerai le revoir a 69 ans
My mother, God bless her, is 82 years old and has loved this song for the almost 50 years it has been around! She plays it quite often at her house when she is listening to music along with Love Is Blue, A Taste of Honey, Music Box Dancer, and other great instrumentals from the 1960's and 70's. What a great time it was to be alive!!!!!
Soulful Strut is another great one! BTW, my Mom is 82 also.....
Enjoy every minute of the time y'all have. Peace out.

I'm 63 this year and this takes me back to time when life seemed so simple. Great song and R. I. P. Barry white.
Simple 😮
Beautiful piece of music. More than 45 years old and it still sounds awesome.

Crap!!!
Where did 45 yrs go?!?!!?!
Who loves music knows that this music doesn't die
Amen
@@antoniosalvatore703 Exactly! It's like the Glenn Miller music, the Tommy Dorsey music, the Andrews Sisters vocalizing stuff, the Peggy Lee... man. You're right. Good music never dies
Rip Mr. Barry White. Great music. Brings back memories from the 70's.
14 December 2017: I grew up in the seventies, which is my favorite decade. Barry White was one of my favorite singers and so was the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Al Green, Stylistics, Eagles, Elton John, Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Michael & Jacksons 5, Diana Ross and lots of one hit wonders from the 70's. No cursing, No bad mouthing women, just great music.
N.K. D 14 December is my birthday!
One of the most nostalgic tracks to take you back to the wonderful 70's. The 70's would not have been the same without Barry White.
being a kid is perfect. no such thing as society or civilization or government.....just living. loving. laughing. having fun. playing. Praise God.
Anthony Paul, ABSOLUTELY. I'm with you there Brother. When this song came out, I was just that... a KID. Not a worry in the world, just the sound of beautiful music by the Maestro himself, Mr. Barry White, family, friends, fun. Best time of my life.
Yes!!!!
You know what? It was true godliness. Because positive energy is what it's all about and when we were on the dance floor there wasn't anything more positive.
Every time I hear this tune I get an ache in my soul...for the lost innocence, class, beauty that this song evokes.
stischer47 I call it, the awakening ❤️🔥
Music from my childhood.
Couldn't have expressed it better
We know what you mean, we feel it too
It's youth you're aching for -- WE'RE aching for.
16 years old in 1973. Brings back feelings I thought I never would feel again. Tears in my eyes...
✌ ☮ 🕊 you tube is here classic music is now 1970s. 🤓hugs n hug 🤗
so was I, the best summer ever.....🥰😇
Me too, what a time we had!
HI KARL: I was 13 in 1973. WOW HOW I MISS THOSE DAYS! Those really and truly were the GOOD OLD DAYS! No I take that back-----THE GREAT OLD DAYS! God bless ya!
Soon , to be 59..... hearing , this .............. Time machine 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️
We were living in Bismarck, ND at the time when a tornado was spotted. My Dad "piled" all of us in the Dodge Polara, said goodbye to the neighbor and off we went TOP SPEED!! This song was on the radio. My Dad will forever be my Hero.
1972 Dodge Polara. My first car the age of 18 in 1987. I miss that car.
Wow! Your dad the super hero! Love it! ❤🎉 🎶
@@ledonwissner2200 Thank you, I miss him very much. Now I have Dad's loaded 2005 Chevy Silverado in storage. 46,000 on it and it STILL smells FACTORY! I only drive it for about 2 months in the Summer. Last year I put on 102 miles, so yes...I baby it! Everyone wants to buy it!
I remember being a kid and hearing this song and it always made me feel like I was about to take flight. I would shut my eyes and the music just filled me up until I thought I would explode with life. I know this sounds a bit over the top but it is true and when i listened to it even now, I feel that same joy that can only come from music like this.
This arrangement is magic; I loved it as a kid & I love it now. It puts me to sleep…💕
Same! We must be in the same age range. I LOVED this song. It always made me feel like I was sailing.
I think alot of people felt like you did and still do whenever we hear this piece of God's music. ❤️
Ohhh me too....the absolute high!!!! Transcending all woes...someone said its on God's Playlist and of that I am sure..since he wrote it through Barry!!!!!
I always felt like I was in United Airline plane about to take off from Chicago O’hare airport
Getting ready to fly
Barry White was a great composer and conductor! My favorite song of all time! It reminds of God coming to get me!
😮
I think of the DC night life with pimp mobiles.
Agree 👍💯
I used to listen to this song with my transistor radio when I went to bed a lonely little boy, parents drunk & fighting, and it comforted me.
God bless you.
O god; so sad for you, but you chose beautiful music. Hope things are healed now.
Brother, that is devastating to hear. Hope you are doing better than your folks were. Hopefully they got better too.
Same here only father was the drinker what a nightmare growing up an only child in a home that was broken always fighting about the money we never had .
God bless. ❤️
Estuve buscando por muchos años está canción.
Mi mamá murió durante la pandemia en 2020. Ella solía bailar esta melodía con mucha ligereza y encanto. Solía sacarme a bailar. Ella se sentía joven al bailar y me transmitió su energía.
Te he encontrado, mamá.
Sigue bailando con los angeles. ❤
Cuanto lo siento por su perdida, retomó sus palabras y tiene mucha razón su mami está en las alturas de los cielos disfrutandolo porque este tema en palabras simples y comunes es celestial, un fuerte abrazo dios te bendiga 🙏
Produced by the brilliant Barry White! WHY aren't they making beautiful music like this anymore?
No one can. Takes talent, patience and creativity. Who in America 2022 has even one of those qualities?
Good question.
@@fernmann7 sad but true
Nobody is capable of making music like this nowadays ....
Because of the continued degradation of society and human beings as a whole. You'll probably disagree but trust me truth be told.
My wedding party walked down the aisle to this song! A perfect sunny May day, just gets you in the mood immediately. An absolute masterpiece.
same here:)
I had this song in my wedding too, only our mothers and grandmothers were seated to it.
May LOVE be the main THEME of your Life from now onwards! Be Happy !
AGREED
Thats very sweet ..I was 12 when this was released In 1973
One of the greatest songs of all time. The 1970’ s are gone forever.
Hai ragione Giorgio non ritornano più!
George Harley Rider the 70’s produced such a phenomenal amount of incredible music! Best decade for music by leaps and bounds, and film was having another golden age in Hollywood, I wish I could have lived then, it makes me sad and worried what’s become of our world, music, art, film... it’s all atrocious today
We might have the same good taste except your choice on bikes 😊
Oooops instead of answering you I wrote a comment to everyone duhhh🤣😂
Whenever I heard this fabulous tune on the radio, I always turned up the volume. Loved it then and still love it today.
Fifty one years already for this masterpiece!
Still LOVE this song today...we kick off our pool opening EVERY summer with this song. Love Barry White and LOVE 70s music! How can you be in a bad mood listening to this?!
Thats cool how you start pool season off ,love it
70s is one of the best decades ever! I love it!
Lo amo con toda mi alma 💕
Pool party 🥳 😎 🩱
What a totally cool tradition!
Reaching heaven and beyond. Blessed to be part of this generation
Me too
This music is a masterpiece, a work of genius. Whenever I hear it, it's like a time machine transporting me back to the fun days of the early 70s.
You said it pal !.. I had such fun back then in Vancouver, Canada
The perfect fusing of orchestra and electric guitar. In the early disco days a DJ could get by just playing the King and Queen of Disco. And did! I am going to throw in a little Norma Desmond and say. We didnt need words. We had beats. And that we did. No words! Love to Love you, I feel Love, Fly Robin Fly, The Hustle.
James ...I loved the endless Disco tunes. Seductive and sensual.
Yes..when times where just simply Nice
Growing up in the 70's.. I was 5 when this gem was in the charts 💕💕💕💕💕😎
Born in 65’ so the 1970s are my growing up years. So lucky to be around then!
Gotta love it. I may get older but this song never ages. Timeless classic.
Bien gracias
Agree
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👋🏾👋🏾
When I hear this I have a vision of Barry White standing in front of the orchestra with a huge smile and into it so very much.
No doubt. The man had some serious outfits. I loved them all
There are a at least 2 vids of him doing just that - directing the orchestra.
A MAN OF MANY TALENTS
stonelove919 Hell yeah you hit right on the head. I can see the big guy jamming now
Stone love vs silverhawk
This blew my mind when I first heard it at 12 years old in 1974 and it still does to this day..Thanks forever to the maestro himself Barry White for this classic...
Ditto, but I'm a couple years older. I still have this 45 r.p.m.
theme song to World of Sports and major golf tournaments.
Same vintage here, takes me straight back to the 70s, not even half way through the first bar 🎼 ❤️
AMEN to that Mr. Diamond! I am older than you (pushing 70), but I remember when I first heard this song... I was totally blown away, especially by the violins. At least we can look back and reminisce on those wonderful, uncomplicated, non-pandemic days. G-d bless!
Remember that ten million others bought that record!
Once Again … The One .. The Only… The Maestro … Conductor , the producer , the lyricist , and top of the charts hit maker …BARRY WHITE
This is a masterpiece by Barry White, right along with Isaac Haye's Theme from Shaft. Both should be played to young folk, especially young black folk, so that they can hear what excellent and professional music sounds like. When I hear one, and think of the other. Barry White and Isaac Hayes could do it all, ie, sing, arrange, produce, and put together an orchestra. Absolutely awesome. Check out both songs.
Amen to the above comment ✌🏿
Ain’t that the truth! 👍😊
James - agree 100% with your comment. It's neither ageist nor subjective to say that compared to what is forgettable in popular music today, the songwriting quality of masterpieces like Loves Theme will be remembered 40 years from now.
No one race has an advantage over another when it come to this new noise they call music!!!
Thanks for sharing, 💛💙❤
Long story I won’t get into, but a friend tagged me on Facebook with this song today and I just know it was my dad saying hello from Heaven.

I believe what your saying 💯💯💯💯 I GET THAT ALSO FROM MY MOM1️⃣4️⃣3️⃣🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍💃🏽🕺🏿

I am a New York City trained dancer and at 61, still dancing. Maybe dance and music can bring our people together in a country so divided
I am 62 and still dance this song with new generations in Reynosa México! Love this song !
I dont know why and really dont understand what has happened in the USA since the 1970s and why it is so divided now, it wasnt always so obvious in the 1970s ands thats from my own personal observations since I was there in the late 1970s. Doesnt make sense that a country that produces music that obviously Unites so many different types of people, can still have these "stark" racial divisions in the "advanced society" of the 21st century, just doesnt make any sense to me at all.
Flamenco57 I could have danced you
Flamenco57 well said. From your lips to God's ears.Peace friend ❤
I feel like the late 70's brought people together. The music, dance, disco.

" True , forever 💘

( thanks Mr . Barry ) ⚘
The 70s...the golden age of music. Many of the songs of the era will bring a tear or two to the eyes. Reminiscing on those magnificent years. Happiest times of my life.
I live through those times a little kid growing up in New-Jersey and it wasn't too pleasant
You too?
You have no idea how much I understand and have the same feelings. I know they say that looking back in time makes everything look better than it was, BUT IT WAS.
Thanks so much. I was a tween when this came out. 👍 .
Mine Too Indeed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE 70S The BEST ERA EVER !!!!!!!!! YOU SAID IT RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gene Page was the man who arranged these magnificent strings and horns!! How about a “thumbs up” for him? He and Barry were very good friends and their legacy should be remembered by all who hear this tune!!
Thank you for that wonderful lesson in history!🥰
Wow thanks for that history lesson!🥰
Timeless! And thank you for the history lesson 👍
Gene Page was one of the most celebrated and prolific arrangers of orchestral parts, especially during the 1970s. Massive respect to him!
Pure class--totally smooooth! Thank-you Mr Page!
Very late one night many years ago I was alone and driving across Central Texas in my Austin-Healey 3000 Mark III, top down, pulling about 2800 RPMs and listening to the throaty rumble of an engine that was perfectly in sync. I was the only one on that long, straight highway and I had never seen so many stars or breathed fresher air. This song was playing on the tape deck. There are those rare times when you are perfectly happy and at peace with the world. This was one of mine.
HALO101st nice!
I had a really similar moment only last month. My dad and I just bought a Jaguar XJS V12. There was a break in the bad weather, so I took it out for a drive. Where it's such a cad's car, for a laugh my dad had put a Barry White CD in the changer. I came to a road closed sign, turned around and drove back on a lovely bit of empty road in the rare Feburary sunshine, and this track came on. I knew it would all be short lived because of the current events unfolding, so made the most of it. I've never been more relaxed.
Love it. You took me right there with you. 🕶
On the tape deck? Wow Take Me Back!
AUSTINS ARE RARE
I am a big fan of Barry White, and I’m still a number one fan of Barry way to this day and never will stop. He is the best of the best.
The One and Only Barry White!!! There will never be another like him! R.I.P. Maestro!
Yep,with his hair and silk suits,he is unforgettable.
Don't forget Gene Page.
He arranged the strings
Tens of millions - hundreds of millions - of people feel the same as you!
This is the Classiest Instrumental Song that was ever recorded! I just Love it! It is Timeless! It sounds just as good as it did in 1973!
I was 2 years old when this song was released. I love it. I heard this a lot when I was a kid. 😇🤗🙂☺😚😙😗😘😎😊😉😆😅😄😃😂😁😀😍
Must have been one of the first disco numbers
Great song. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
CINDY M DOOGE I grew up in this Wonderful Time Of My Life and Barry was Part of it ... Good Choice
Norberto P. Niebres Manca un testo il lo farei .!

Yessss❤!!
Of course! It's a classic!!
Yo escucho en 2024❤
Old school music 🎶 🎵 👌
Burrrrr of course, we here!!!
Its 2024 and I am 62 years ! Love this songs during my era ! Remembering my HS days!! Discorama and DWLL in fm radio !!
I'm the same age. Born in 1962. On the cusp between true boomers and generation X. I think people our age have a special appreciation for music like this. Good thoughts.
@@glazdarklee1683 I super agreed on you !!
The best Music ever made. The 1970's. This song is a Treasure. ❤️
Yes
Born in '75 ,grew up in the 80's i couldn't ask for a better time to have my childhood filled with simple fun and music that can never be reproduced.
If only we could be children forever.
Born in ‘73. I miss those years so much!
62 yrs now and wish I was back there cant compare
77 here and I FEEL YOU. We grew up with some truly amazing music. ☺️
'75 here as well. I wouldn't trade the era I was raised in for anything in the world, other than for my kids to have the same experience.
If the world was going to end in 7 minutes, this is the song I'd play whilst dancing
Amen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This tune a master piece of music was wri by Barry... A man that couldn't read or write music.. He would walk around. Los Angeles humming and singing into a dictafone to write the score for each instrument and give the tape to a musical arranger to record it... Genius dose not sum up his talent. Gifted might come close, but not close enough. ❤️
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
I'd play The Last Farewell by Roger Whittaker...''There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harrr-borrrr 🎵🎶
Listen to this in langkawi best instrumental ever x
