Guess I'm supposed to ask a question here. Okay: could they take both the Three Degrees AND the Emotions simultaneously?

Can anyone recommend a good book about this band and/or Barry? If anyone can help me get hold of a copy of the Behind The Music: Barry White special then that'd be great.

Too bad some of their best stuff is out of print. Such as the Under the Influence of..., the one I have (aka downloaded). "Oh Love, we Finally Made It" is a fantastic song, and plus it has that great double entendre where you can interpret the "Love" in the title as your Lover, or as the hot sex you finally had.

sorry, this is only about the luo which btw is not dull:when i was in new york in spring we spent some time in a record shop (record as in vinyl) near the strand bookstore. there was a love unlimited orchestra record playing which i immediately fell in love with. "music maestro please". i bought it for an astronomic prize like 25 dollars or something and haven't listened to it since. thanks for reviving the thread, i think i know now what to put on the turntable tonight.

If anyone can help me get hold of a copy of the Behind The Music: Barry White special then that'd be great.I don't quite get why VH1-Classic doesn't just show all the old Behind the Musics on repeat -- they're a ton of them and the series was, for the most part, done really well. I'd love to see the one on Barry -- b/c I agree, the dude clearly was an important figure in soul--on several levels--and even with him dead there hasn't been much of an acknowledgment of his achievements outside of the (admittedly classic) "Never Gonna Give You Up"...

his episode of biography was pretty great. it was made before he passed away, so there's plenty of words from the man himself (and glodean). pretty incredible story (his rise/breakthrough, anyway)

barry's autobiography is a great read. he comes across as this enormous, loving, slightly-dotty mountain of a man. saying how grown men used to come to him for advice on relationships when he was 14!
i would still love to see that behind the music special, can't believe a torrent of it doesn't exist. i do have a show about him that was on ch4 a few years back, not sure what it was though.

"If This World Were Mine" has possibly the greatest bassline I've ever heard
