Barry Eugene Carter, often known as Barry White, was born in Galveston, Texas, on September 12, 1944, and was raised in a harsh area of South Central Los Angeles.
He was the elder of two children, and his parents were Sadie Marie Carter and Melvin A. White. In interviews, White has described how, at the age of 14, his voice suddenly deepened dramatically. In 1983, White’s brother Darryl was tragically killed during a confrontation with another gang. In his teens, White joined a gang and was ultimately sentenced to four months in prison for theft.
White reported hearing the song “It’s Now or Never” by Elvis Presley while he was incarcerated, an event he later attributed with altering his life.
