I fell in love with his voice at age 11. I did not realize his talent until I was in my early twenties. At age 60 I now know the genius behind the orchestration.
Eric Burdon Band band? Wow never ever did I think there was any performances of this short lived 4 piece. 2 great LPs. Forget the drummer's name but always thought his playing was simply top notch and these clips validate that belief.
That 1st song is MAGIC with the maestro conductor Barry White!!!! I adore ALL of his songs. His deep, rich and resonant baritone voice and words gets us in the: MOOD FOR LOVE!!! 🎉♥️😘
BW and LUO had such a unique and awesome sound. The music is timeless. I listen to these songs often on my playlist. Total ear candy that reverberates to the tips of my toes and back. These clips are amazing.
Barry composed LOVE'S THEME back in 1965. NEVER intended to record it...he did in 1973, released in LATE 73. going #1 Pop in early 1974. at a time very, very few instrumentals were going #1. as a composer, Barry was a Beethoven of our time.
Finally a good quality upload of the LUO playing Love's Theme. Nice to see the late Melvin Ragin in the sequin jacket joining them. Ray Parker Jr is also playing, he's the young guitarist in the middle.
Just got done watching the live!! This episode was incredible!! Im so jealous of the people that got to attend these shows!😭 I need a time machine so that i could experience it in real time. 🥰
A Hit jammed trip in the Way Back Machine! Barry White 🔥. Eric Burden, Legend! Love Unlimited Orchestra, Talent unlimited orchestra! Looks like another winning episode!
Ive missed the livestreams over the last couple weeks... but still here and watching! Great stuff guys, I especially enjoyed last weeks episode w Golden Earring, they blew me away! Great performance tonight w Eric Burdon and Barry White. 🎉
Eric Burdon OH MY!!! He’s SO 🥵 and his funky azz jammin’ band is SO GOOD!!!! I love their clothes, too! WHEW!!! I need a 🚬 and I don’t even smoke… 😍😮💨 💃 His whole band: are on 🔥🔥🔥 What a great rhythm section!!!
Hello! Aren’t they great?! I’m loving and discovering them too 😊 My favorite Eric Burdon song will always be “Sky Pilot.” It reminds me of my WW11 dad and my Marine Son. Dad received the Purple Heart, Bronze Star. Son received the Purple Heart. I’m so thankful they both made it back home~ alive 🤲 Climb to Glory & Semper Fi. Never Forget! ♥️
All Live instruments and vocals...A unreal time in music history....I was 14 yrs old waiting up until midnight on friday nights to watch all of the greats....
Those Eric Burdon performances are some of the best things I've ever seen on The Midnight Special. Crazy good band and interpretations. Never heard a guitarist play quite like that. So unique
"Love Theme" friends me of my friends Bonnie, Margie & I sitting in my cousin Debbie's old P/U. She was driving & the snowman snow was coming down in buckets & she was driving like 15 MPH cause we didn't want to go to school & this song was playing. She looked in her rear view mirror & a school bus was behind us! We all laughed as she sped up! Good times! 🤠
🎼🎵 I absolutely love the MiddKnight Special,...& I’m so happy that this episode of Barry White & Eric Burdon was free for ALL OF US LIL’COMMMONWEALTH,...the lowly downtrodd’n, the po’folks & cheapskates that can't afford to pay for the MiddKnight Special Membership. 🎶🌄🎼🎵♪,...maybe someday over that great big beauti’lvvy horizon,...I’ll be able to afford to pay for the MiddKnight Special Membership,...oh yeah!!!
Saw barry white Lenny Williams and betty Wright, Norfolk Virginia , great show , only white in the place , the brothers very respectful, they knew I liked great music 😊❤ thank you Jesus 🙏
Oh my gosh, I have been waiting for this! Finally it's here!🎉🎉 Barry was incredibly gifted! It's gonna get hot in the chat room tonight!😅🥰💟 Eric is another favorite of mine, too!😎
@@Royalle_with_Cheese You’re SO naughty! Talking about me - behind my back! Hahaha 😝, that’s cute…” vapors.” and “smelling salts” would be needed. Btw… I never got word and couldn’t find the “chat” earlier 🤔 it wouldn’t show up in my feed either? Or I would have joined in, in the fun! 😄
What's weird is that there are individual videos of Sparks on MS on Nov. 15 date. Next Week, the host is George Carlin, and I suspect Sparks is on that episode. Also, in a guide to every episode, both this and next week's have Nov. 15th, 1974 as the air date. Anyway, looking forward to Sparks next week. I also expect that a bunch of folks in the chat will put up the obscure alert 🚨 for Sparks.
The Midnight Special show audiences sat on the floor, evidently production policy and how they chose to direct and shoot the program. Occasionally, you see people getting down in the wings, mainly off camera. The Midnight Special has served up some the greatest live performances ever, while elsewhere in TV World (then and now) much was/is being lip synced. The college kids sit on the floor and do as they're told but they always show as much genuine enthusiasm and good vibes as they can, within their constrained roles. Despite that, the show was pure gold and what a blessing it is to have endless MIdnight Special gigs on UA-cam.
BW is not conducting the orchestra. He is just miming the music. His movements with the baton mean nothing. He can’t read, write or conduct music. The conducting is all for show. The guy who comes on stage later to conduct, is really conducting.
Barry is a legend! What a master! This is a great live performance!
I fell in love with his voice at age 11. I did not realize his talent until I was in my early twenties. At age 60 I now know the genius behind the orchestration.
It's so bad ass that Barry White brought a full orchestra with him to the Midnight Special!
back in the 1970's Barry had HIS OWN orchestra. now that's bad ass.
That is very bad ass! A funk band with an orchestra is so awesome.
Eric Burdon Band band? Wow never ever did I think there was any performances of this short lived 4 piece. 2 great LPs. Forget the drummer's name but always thought his playing was simply top notch and these clips validate that belief.
Once in a lifetime ✨️ He Was really One Of The Great Ones, May you ❤️ Fly On Forever With the Rest Of The Great Ones, Thanks my Brother Always ❤
Barry was my go too music on date night back in the late 70s. 😎🤟🏼👏🏼👏🏼🕺🏻🕺🏻
Love his music.
That 1st song is MAGIC with the maestro conductor Barry White!!!!
I adore ALL of his songs.
His deep, rich and resonant baritone voice and words gets us in the:
MOOD FOR LOVE!!! 🎉♥️😘
I was on leave from the Marines when this aired... so glad I get to see it now! Burdon's band is KILLER! Always enjoyed Barry White! Thanks 👍🏾
Semper Fi!
Welcome Home!
☮️ 💟😊
Wow, what a great opener!
BW and LUO had such a unique and awesome sound. The music is timeless. I listen to these songs often on my playlist. Total ear candy that reverberates to the tips of my toes and back. These clips are amazing.
The Barry White/Love Unlimited telecast would have made for a killer live album. What a broadcast.
Just can't get enough of this, so good!! Burt's picks just knocked it out of the park every single week.
Barry brilliance aside, Eric Burdon tearin' it up!
Every once in a thousand years do you get an artist with the talent of Barry White....thanks for posting this 🙏
His voice is like warm honey ❤️
Intemporelle... Repose en paix Barry, c'est mérité !
Barry composed LOVE'S THEME back in 1965. NEVER intended to record it...he did in 1973, released in LATE 73. going #1 Pop in early 1974. at a time very, very few instrumentals were going #1. as a composer, Barry was a Beethoven of our time.
let me add this, back in the 1970's alone/that decade. I heard Barry sold OVER 40 million records.
and more than likely, Barry White caused a “Baby Boom” of epic proportions! WHEW!!! 😹😅😍
OMG, I haven't heard Love Unlimited Orchestra in DECADES! FANTASTIC!!
Finally a good quality upload of the LUO playing Love's Theme. Nice to see the late Melvin Ragin in the sequin jacket joining them. Ray Parker Jr is also playing, he's the young guitarist in the middle.

Good god this is a nation treasure. Barry White is genius on so many levels.
This footage is amazing Midnight Special was a favorite when I was a shorty in the 70s so many bands so many tunes real music never dies ✌🏿🎼🎶💯
Understood! As a child you understand music. Eric Burdon is a favorite of mine. Love this episode!!
A Hit jammed trip in the Way Back Machine! Barry White 🔥. Eric Burden, Legend! Love Unlimited Orchestra, Talent unlimited orchestra! Looks like another winning episode!
Hey, Pisces bro! I look forward to this episode as well.
Ive missed the livestreams over the last couple weeks... but still here and watching! Great stuff guys, I especially enjoyed last weeks episode w Golden Earring, they blew me away! Great performance tonight w Eric Burdon and Barry White. 🎉
Welcome back!
It gets NO BETTER than "The Maestro" Barry White and The Love Unlimited Orchestra.
I love the lineup!! Barry White slays!🥰😆
Eric Burdon OH MY!!! He’s SO 🥵 and his funky azz jammin’ band is SO GOOD!!!!
I love their clothes, too!
WHEW!!! I need a 🚬 and I don’t even smoke…
😍😮💨 💃
His whole band: are on 🔥🔥🔥 What a great rhythm section!!!
Hello Kitty I didn't even know you Eric Burdon had a group besides the ANIMALS and a one hit with the band WAR
Hello! Aren’t they great?! I’m loving and discovering them too 😊

The Eric Burdon Band rocked! Love "Sum Secrets!".
As a youngster growing up on Barry White, I'd like to tell you all that we had it pretty darned good!
I S A A C H A Y E S - anyone . The Real Deal in true SOUL MUSIC ! ! !
Can't wait, The Midnight Special!
❤The Maestro! ❤

The great Wah Wah Watson on guitar playing in the orchestra.
the GREAT Alvin Taylor drummer with Eric Burdon!

I LOVE Love Unlimited Orchestra's version of "Love's Theme" here.
Is there another version? I thought that was the original
@@bundangkorea - Nope, this was not the hit recording.
Barry White wrote and recorded this in 1973. This is the original
@shyman99 Barry White wrote and recorded this in 1973. This is the Love Unlimited Orchestra. Love Unlimited are the female vocalists
@@bundangkoreaThis is the original. The Love Unlimited Orchestra led by Barry White. He the writer of all of these tunes
I am in awe of Barry White’s musical talent. This episode goes in my top 5 Midnight Special Episodes. That good.
I agree how GREAT this episode is . I’m watching this one many times
I remember being 10 yrs old watching this episode, thanks for this channel
"Love Theme" friends me of my friends Bonnie, Margie & I sitting in my cousin Debbie's old P/U.

Interested to see how they fit the Love Unlimited Orchestra on the TMS stage. It was dozens of players!
They had a pretty big stage to work with. You're in for a treat tonight. The episode kicks off with "Love's Theme". It's a great clip 👍.
Love Berry White
This was the day before I was born. I can’t wait to watch this
This was my 8th birthday, hello fellow Scorpio!
If you figure that it aired at 1AM (EST), then the actual air date was Nov. the 16th.
@ even better!

I loved this version of Eric Burdon Band. Aalon Butler a true genius on guitar
Love Unlimited should have been as popular as The Supremes!
Wow! 😊😊😊
Que esculacho do Eric Burdon em carreira solo heim, banda espetacular, soltou as amarras e ficou lindo! Muito bom!!

Eric Burdon had the only group from UK with any soul !

@@vinnis1660 Thank you, Vinnis #1660.
@@gregoryduncan3067 And so have I, since you told me about it! Hope you're having a blast today!🎂
@@StephanieJeanneEven Wolfman Jack is overwhelmed in the thumbnail, the episode is so good.
I don't get why Love Unlimited need the sheet music. You'd think they'd have memorised it fairly quickly.
The rhythm section yes. The string and horn section were hired musicians and require sheet music.
Let the music play!
¡¡¡¡¡¡YES YES YEEEEESSSSS I've been waiting for this for a while now!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
This is just incredible! Who's Barry's drummer??
Eric Burden is the best singer performer ever.

@Royalle_with_Cheese Yeah, for sure!

Glad to know it!
This crowd sucks BIG TIME. The way Barry and the band was grooving, there's no way they should be sitting on their asses.

I’ve waited 50 years to see Eric Burdon Sun Secrets Band again!!! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU 🤪
Sun Secrets is my favorite album ever.
Same here Aalon Butler amazing underrated guitarist
ThAnk you guys for turning me on ..to this
Eric Burdens guitar player is absolutely killer... what a rhythm player. What feel!!
Man, I thought I heard all of Burdon's bands but WOW!
The bid bad Buddha of love himself. Thanks again Burt Sugerman and The Midnight Special.
I Hate when artist speed up their songs. Still love all of Barry's work tho
I rather it would have been Eric Burdon all episode than Barry white.
just pull up concerts of Eric Burton.geez…..
BW is not conducting the orchestra. He is just miming the music. His movements with the baton mean nothing. He can’t read, write or conduct music. The conducting is all for show. The guy who comes on stage later to conduct, is really conducting.
