The late, great Barry White a.k.a. “The Maestro” has left a surprise for most of us, because many of us have never even seen, nor heard of his sons. He has two: Barry Jr., and Darryl White. He also has three daughters: Nina, Shaheerah, and Melva, and we’ll swing back to them at a later time.
The Bar Is High
Right now we’re talking about his son Darryl. I won’t spend the time trying to describe what you’re about to see, because a video can speak louder than words. So all I’ll say is that I don’t think most of us were expecting to hear this. One quick note; we gotta give credit where it’s due because Darryl’s in the shadow of a great soulful artist like Barry White, and the bar is HIGH! So kudos to Darryl White for exploring his possible gift of song!

Check out his music video below and let us know what you think. R.I.P. to the remarkable, Barry White.
After His Ex-Stepmother
Glodean White was married to Barry White for 29 years (1974-2003) and she was one his Love Unlimited backup singers. She’s his second-wife and the former step-mother of Darryl.
It’s just been reported that Darryl has filed a lawsuit against Glodean, because he says that he is almost homeless as a result of her having cut him off financially ever since 2015.
Via TMZ: Barry White’s son is almost broke and nearly homeless … and he claims it’s all because he’s getting the raw end of the deal from his father’s trust. Darryl says Glodean never let him see the will after Barry died in 2003, instead it was more like … trust me.
In docs, obtained by TMZ, he says he agreed and got payments up until September 2015. Darryl, who’s a singer himself, believes Glodean is using up his father’s dough to support her lavish lifestyle. He’s suing to finally get a look at the will, and a proper accounting of what he’s due.

he definitely sounds alot like his daddy but he puts more into his video that his daddy does not. he puts the flirtatiousness into it that i didn’t see in his daddy’s video. but man where has he been all these years with that voice

Not surprised. BOTH off his parents were great singers.
Didn’t know about his Mom!
His mom, Glodean James, was the the lead singer of Barry’s female group Love Unlimited. You might remember their classic cut “walking in the rain”.
I was wondering if he was Glodean’s son. #nails4days

Ok, nice , but the music sounds like his father! Nothing original at all. Leave the past in the past, and do your own thing. Good luck!
LASun thanks for giving us your take on this one. I understand where you’re coming from and I with him much success with his music career too. Appreciate ya’ for joining the discussion.

Where he been at? this must be old, aint nobody makin 6min tracks no more. He aight no Barry though, nice try!
Geesh Kimberly, tell us how you really feel…LOL! All jokes aside though, I do wish Darryl White much success with his career. It’s rough out here for children of icons who are following in their parents’ footsteps. Thanks joining the convo’ my friend.

Darryl’s good. I’ll give him that. And I do hope his career soars! He’s got the talent for it!! However… I wouldn’t compare him to his dad. His voice doesn’t have that smooth, deep tonal quality that Barry’s did. I actually find it kinda raspy. But it works. It just isn’t Barry.
Plus, that man’s got the chops to fill his own shoes. He doesn’t need to try and fill his father’s.
Good point Kirk. I think his voice would be very unique in today’s music industry, but I also hope he can carve out his own, unique space and wish him success with that.

Moniqhar i thought you was hatin but he do need to either get it tailored or put on a big mama type of fat suit and he could also reach out to r kelly for some of his song writing ability.

He has a great voice. He can fill his own shoes. Barry White, like Luther Vandross, were both unique in voice, tone, delivery. That’s what made theim timeless unique icons of R&B.
Thanks for giving us your opinion on this one E_Joyce.

They say imitation is the best form of flattery, but in this case I think it is mediocrity. Darryl is not his dad and it shows in the lack of creativity in the arrangement and vocals. He has a great voice and if he develops his voice and stop trying to imitate his dad’s he might find his niche and have a career as long lasting and unique as Barry’s. It would be great to see Darryl step away from Barry’s legacy and create his own.
Tracey I understand where you’re coming from and I also hope that Darryl can find his own voice because it’s going to be really tough for him to stay in the same lane as his Pop’s because I think people will constantly compare him to Barry, that’s only natural since we’ve seen him already. I think Darryl has a very unique voice and it would be extremely different in today’s music environment (that’s a good thing), so we’ll see if he’s able to step outside of his dad’s shadow and carve a space for himself. I wish him success with that. Thanks for commenting.

He’s good & sounds similar to his Dad but he’s holding back, I just know he is…

I enjoyed his flow. he also has his own flavor. I hear the influence of his dad. I am looking to hear more from him.
Bernice thanks for giving us your thoughts on this one my friend. I hope we can hear more from Barry’s son soon too, and I also hope he will be able to carve out his own space, outside of his Dad’s shadow.

Sounds Good,Where Have He Been All These Years,Didn’t Know Barry Had A Son,The World Should Had Been Heard Him,I Would Had Brought The Velvet Teddy Bear And He’s Son Music, Maybe They Didn’t Want 2 Butt Heads Cause They Do Sound Alike.

His form of paying tribute to his Dad. Give him time, he will develop his own flair and style. Haters listen to the music and stop judging the clothes, hairstyle, underwear, etc…
LOL…Rodney that’s a good suggestion my man. Thanks for joining the convo.’
