Barry White gave the world some of its most joyous music, and that voice mesmerised women everywhere, but his death was isolated and painful.

From producer/composer to his decision to sing his own material, from his formation of Love Unlimited (featuring his wife, who contributes along with her sister - also in the group), the film examines the life in detail until his untimely end.
