BARRY WHITE


When my mother first heard my voice drop she cried, knowing that her son will never be a little boy again.

This soulful balladeer was born Barrence Eugene Carter on September 12, 1944. This older brother of two boys, was born in Galveston Texas, but grew up gang banging on the streets of South Central Los Angeles.
Believe it. Whats even more amazing is that all along he was listening to his kind hearted mother's classical
music [Now we know where it came from]. He later pulled himself out of the ghetto and combined the funk
of the streets with his mother's caring sensibilites to his art. That plus his booming deep voice came together
to create one of the worlds sexiest singer song writers.



More women half came out of their panties swaying to Barry then any other. Five Grammys, over 100 million records sold, and a multigenerational sexy image, made him what we called The Maestro.


                        


                               You gave us sultre male disco.
                               You gave us the sexy big-fella image.
                               You gave us love songs galore.
                               You gave us baritone cool.


                                        
                                      Thank You Barry,... for teaching us what baritone sexy is.

BRUCE LEE

                                                         Water,... be water my friend.

He gave us the Way of the Intercepting Fist. A "non-form" of martial arts which insists that you flow with
combat, not structure yourself to a ridget predetermined plan. This "non-style" had no real set of martial
manuvers like his previous style Jeet kune do. Instead this new "form" focused on raw physics meeting
biology, speed, and self control. Allowing it's user to be the most adaptive combatant on the battlefield.




However, Bruce was more than just martial arts. He wanted to give the world it's first international asian hero, and during a time when China and the United States were not "friends" his sheer will and charisma 
accomplished this feat.




                    
                     You gave us Jeet Kune Do
                     You reintroduced us to nunchucks.
                     You gave us Enter the Dragon.
                     You gave us our first real Chiniese Hero.
                     You gave us modern western martial arts.
                     You gave us....Water.


                  

                              Thank you Bruce Lee for "truly expressing yourself."
