I've always loved War's Low Rider and Sly Stone's Thank You, and I just wanted to put my take on them.

I woke up one morning, went downstairs, said 'Good morning' to my mother and nearly scared both of us to death.'

Most families had four, five brothers. But because it was just me and Darryl, we had to be twice as strong.

Been making love for hours and, baby, we're still going strong. Girl, this night is ours and I swear I feel it coming on. All I know is when we get through, I ain't going to be able to move.

I kept my babies fed. I could have dumped them, but I didn't. I decided that whatever trip I was on, they were going with me. You're looking at a real daddy.

One preacher turned me on, another turned me off.

The women used the music to get their men to relate to them better: "talk to me, tell me what's on your mind." Men used the music to get the girls in the mood to make love. So either way you had it, Barry White is the one artist who actually was in your bedroom with you at your most sacred, sensuous moment of your life.
