Barry White (born Barry Eugene Carter) was an American composer and singer-songwriter. A three-time Grammy Award–winner known for his distinctive bass-baritone voice.
While undergoing dialysis and awaiting a kidney transplant in May 2003, White suffered a severe stroke. White's unstable health prevented him from receiving a new kidney, and he died on July 4, 2003, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering cardiac arrest.
