Barry White to sing deep at Fox Theater

Barry White is to R&B what James Earl Jones is to acting. Both artists' rich, bass-toned voices have earned them great fame. If you wanted to hear Jones' booming speech you would have to check out a copy of "Star Wars," but if you'd like to experience White's deep-voiced lyrics firsthand, you're in luck. He's coming to Detroit's Fox Theater.

White is making his second appearance since the release of his latest LP, "The Icon Is Love" (A&M), and it can be expected that a fair portion of his concert this Sunday will feature songs from that album, especially his hit single "Come On" and the harmony-laced "Practice What You Preach."

Of course, much of his show will feature many of his old-school hits. With a musical career spanning further back than the years in which many of us were born, White has a virtual cornucopia of musical material with which to hit his crowd. The show starts at 8 p.m. on Sunday at the Fox Theater. Tickets are $37.50 and can be purchased at the Fox Theater.
