I believe its Blue Lovett who was the bass baritone in the group. You're right resembles Barry White's voice quite a bit.

Wow, never heard this version of Jimmy Webb's great song,however, I have to admit that Glenn Campbell's was my favourite.

Places and Spaces is an amazing jazz-funk album. Released in 1975 on the Blue Note label by jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd. Featuring production by Larry Mizell.

One of my favorite samples. And Buck Em Down remix is one of my favorite hip hop joints.

If that wasn't posted that would be a glaring omission. This tune is iconic.
