Fanny I bow to your superior knowledge on the subject 
I love Barry White, but only in the last 10 or 15 years or so, he was considered very naff, when I was growing up a bit like Abba who no one would admit to liking, even though we did secretly. I think some of us find as we age, naff seems to hit all the right spots
One of my friends admitted to me a while back "I don't know what's happened to me lately, I seem to like Barry White", "So do I" came my reply!"
