Shes a good girl, loves her mam a
Loves jesus and america too
Shes a good girl, crazy bout elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
Its a long day living in reseda
Theres a freeway runnin through the yard
And Im a bad boy cause I dont even miss her
Im a bad boy for breakin her heart
And Im free, free fallin
Yeah Im free, free fallin
All the vampires walkin through the valley
Move west down ventura boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
A ll the good girls are home with broken hearts
And Im free, free fallin
Yeah Im free, free fallin
Free fallin, now Im free fallin, now im
Free fallin, now Im free fallin, now im
I wanna glide down over mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
Gonna free fall out into nothin
Gonna leave this world for a while
And Im free, free fallin
Yeah Im free, free fallin
＞＞＞Even if Barry White was born in September 12, 1944 in Galvelson, Texas, his family quickly moved to South Los Angeles, California. This is where he spent most of his child and teenage years. He lived only his mother and his little brother, because his father was married to another woman. His mother was a poor but very christian woman, that tried to bring her children up with a good education. She gave to Barry his first musical upbringing, listening classical music at home, and teaching him rudiments of piano. At only 11, Barry became chorus master, showing great musical possibilities. But in spite of these activities and his good-tempered nature, he was involved in a gang. At 17, he was in jail for three months for stealing $30,000 worth of Cadillac tires. One night in prison, Barry heard Elvis Presley's "It's Now Or Never" loudly listened by another prisoneer. He later told that this caused to change his life, because he decided to pursue a musical career. After serving his prison sentence, he decided to leave the gang, and to be involved in the music production. He met producer and composer Gene Page, that teached him musical arrangement. He first had a little success as a songwiter, writing and composing song for rock singer Bobby Fuller. He also worked with such bands as The Upfronts or The Atlantics as additional singer. In 1963, he arranged "Harlem Shuffle" for Bob & Earl, and then toured with them for three months. Late 1960's he discovered singer Viola Wills, signed her to Bronco Mustang Records, and wrote her "It May Be Winter Outside (But In My Heart It's Spring)". He also recorded one single, his own version of Elvis Presley's "In The Ghetto" under the name Gene West, and "All In The Run Of A Day" and "I Owe It All To You" under his name but the records were flops.
