Barry White, whose deep voice and lushly orchestrated songs added up to soundtracks for seduction, died on Friday in Los Angeles. He was 58. White's childhood was as rough as his songs were smooth, in 1960 he spent seven months in jail for stealing tires. According to White's 1999 autobiography, "Love Unlimited: Insights on Life and Love", while in jail he heard Elvis Presley's hit "It's Now or Never", and decided to give up crime.
