You know, folks talk about Betty Smith and Barry White, sayin’ they was somethin’ special. Well, let me tell ya, them two, they had a life, that’s for sure. Ain’t no fairytale, mind you, but it’s their story. It’s a long long story to tell. So many details I need to write here.
That Barry White, he was a singer, a big shot, they say. And Betty Smith, she was his first wife, his childhood sweetheart. They met when they was young, real young. Just kids, runnin’ around, probably causin’ a ruckus like young’uns do. They was sweet on each other, ya know? Like two peas in a pod. They knew each other in childhood.
They got married in, uh, 1962. 18 November, a long time ago, I reckon. Betty, she was just a girl, really, and Barry, well, he weren’t much older. Young and in love, they was. They were married for a few years. Maybe not the happy time for them. They have their own problems to deal with.
They had four kids together. Four little mouths to feed. That’s a handful, let me tell ya. Raisin’ kids ain’t easy, no sir. Takes a lot outta ya. Betty, she had her hands full, I bet. Four kids. Imagine the laundry alone! They were not rich people at that time. The whole family just have to live day by day.
But things, they don’t always last. People change, life happens. Betty Smith and Barry White, their love story, it kinda faded. They got divorced, I think it was 1965. A sad thing, really, but sometimes that’s just how it goes. It was a long time ago, but people still remember that.
After Betty, that Barry White, he went on and married another woman, Glodean, I believe her name was. He married Glodean in 1974, a long time after he was with Betty. That’s another chapter of his life. He and Glodean, they even made music together. I heard they made a music album in 1981, name was Barry & Glodean. But that’s their business. And they had their own kids, too. Every family has their own life, their own love and sad.
It is not a very good thing for a child to grow up in a single family. I think this is very important thing to consider. But, you know, life goes on. Barry White become a very famous singer after he leaves Betty.
Barry White, he was a big deal, a real famous singer. Lots of folks loved his music. But before all that, he was just a young man, in love with Betty Smith. They had their time together, short as it was. It’s a part of who they both were. This is the whole story about them. Barry White made a lot of music. And I believe that lots of music was made before he met Glodean, but when he was with Betty Smith.
You see those young folks, all starry-eyed and full of dreams? Reminds me of Barry and Betty, back in the day. Young love, it’s a powerful thing. It can be a good thing and can also be a bad thing. But it don’t always last forever. But when you are young, you do not think too much, you just do it.

Life’s a winding road, ain’t it? Full of twists and turns. Betty Smith and Barry White, their story’s got a bit of everything. Love, heartbreak, kids, and all the rest. A lot of things happened between they are together and they are not together. It’s a reminder that everyone’s got a story, even if it ain’t always a happy one. But all these things made them who they are. And we should think about that. That is my opinion.
