From Barry White Sings for Someone You Love (1977). Barry White Sings for Someone You Love is the seventh album by the American soul singer Barry White, released on 30 August 1977 by 20th Century Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Barry White's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle+bridge pickups together.
