Barry White Presents: Danny Pearson

Danny Pearson is a Godsend! When I first heard this record, it really put into perspective what love really meant. often times it's hard to put the love you have for someone into words. Put on a Danny Pearson record, and he'll speak every word for you.

Discovered and produced by the great Barry White, Danny Pearson knows how to pierce straight through the soul and into the heart. His voice is absolutely amazing and the combination with Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra is without a doubt ingenious!

I highly recommend listening to the entire album from start to finish to enjoy the whole experience. But for you musicians out there that can appreciate the musicianship and craft that's demonstrated by Pearson, I highly recommend: Is It Really True Girl, or I'm So Glad I've Got You Baby!

Barry White produced teenager Danny Pearson's Top 20 R&B mid-tempo ballad single "What's Your Sign Girl." The Racine, WI, native was signed to White's Unlimited Gold label distributed through CBS Records. He moved to California in 1974 and was picked by White to be one of the artists to be released on his imprint. An album, Barry White Presents Mr. Danny Pearson, was issued. The first single, "What's Your Sign Girl" b/w "Is It Really True Girl" hit number 16 R&B, number 106 pop on Billboard's charts in late 1978. Though none of Pearson's other singles charted, his album was a good debut and is a favorite of soft soul fans. White utilized the same studio band he used on his own million-selling hits as well as the talents of his friend, arranger Gene Page. Page whose credits list Love Unlimited,Johnny Mathis, the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," various Motown hits, and Jeffree Perry's Jeffree album, among others, imbued Pearson's LP with the same kind of shimmering arrangements he'd used on other artists' releases. Besides the aforementioned tracks, other standouts were a cover of White's previous hit "Honey Please, Can't You See," "Say It Again," andDelfonics/Philly soul-tinged "There's No One for Me, but You." Alex Chilton covered "What's Your Sign Girl" on his 1995 Ardent album, A Man Called Destruction.
