Barry White

What in the world will the lovers of the world do now? Now that Barry White has passed on?

What a treasure he was.

Women will have to find another velvet-toned singer to bring on ovulation.

Barry White, thank you for your music. Your generosity. Your soulful sound. Your romance, your soul. You have added so much to all of our lives!

(It's been a big couple of weeks for celeb deaths. I can't keep up. Poor Buddy Hackett came and went with nary a peep, lost in the shuffle of Gregory Peck and the divine Miss Kate passing ... I loved Buddy Hackett in "Music Man". Shapoopi is a classic. I still know all the words. He had such an insane face. The kind of face which makes you laugh. The man didn't even have to do anything, he just had to show up, and people started to laugh.)

But anyway. A lot of greats have passed on. May they rest in peace!

I heard an interview where Barry was asked about how people always listened to his music whail making love and what did he listen to when making love.

"The love IS the music."

I am trying to find the derivation of the popular expression "Read On, MacDuff" which you have used on your website.
Can you help?

Jack:

"Read on Macduff" is actually a bastardization of the actual quote, which is from Macbeth, act V, scene viii. the second to last scene, just before Macbeth dies. He challenges Macduff to a duel:

Macbeth:
Before my body
I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macduff,
And damn'd be him that first cries, "Hold, enough!"

Great line.
