Los Angeles based, Keith Barrow signed to CBS records in 1978, where he worked with producer Michael Stokes. Barrow’s warm, naturally delicate falsetto was put to remarkable use during the late 70’s and early 80’s in a small but solid body of music. His only real hit was ‘You Know You Want To Be Loved’ (number 26 R & B) in 1978, a sweet soul-style mid-tempo number with a rich soulful instrumentation.

R.I.P. Keith ! We sure miss ya buddy ! Turn Me Up is his BEST masterpiece.
Another talented young man gone waaay too soon. I was in school in New York at the time he was putting out his music. We loved Turn Me Up! One night my roommate had sex with him in a club (I think it might have been Studio 54 but not sure). Sounds like Keith was a fun, vibrant, talented man! You (and many others from that period – Larry Levan, etc) are remembered… and missed!
This is great!
You can hear it on You Tube; search Keith Barrow:Precious.
As anybody got or know where I can get a copy of Keith singing precious, I have been trying to find this song for years.
I only knew him from albums and music! I know he even wrote some tunes! I saw his name on some credits on the Mystic Dragons album by Blue Magic! I think the Song was Teach Me How To LOVE!
Keith and I use tear the clubs up. He lived on Riverside Dr in Harlem,and after the clubs would close we all would crash at his place. I miss keith, he was a great talent! God bless his spirit.. lets keep his music alive!
The Physical Attraction LP is great! It’s a mixture of disco tunes like this one and Turn Me Up. But it also have some nice R&B songs like “You Know You Want to Be Love” and “Free To Be Me”. Worth grabbing if you can find a copy.
Hello Perhaps you had keith confused with someone else I was his best friend until he died and he never did a public impersonation anywhere
I knew Keith Barrow . If he were still alive today he might have been singer & performer.
He has a song that rocks on this album called Turn Me Up . “Keith you are missed”.
this song is one of my best s
you know you want to be loved is one of the greatest love songs ever recorded..and yes thats a keith barrow joint!! its hard to find on lp but if you use one of the download sites you should be able to get it…
Very cool, nice voice and sounds.
Do you know how I can find a video or how I can download copy of “You know you want to be loved?” I don’t know if Keith wrote this song, however, he did perform it.
I remember hearing this on a Black Station(WDKX) in Rochester,N.Y. in summer, late 70’s. Great cut.Never knew the artist’s name until now. Similar to Sylvester in singing style.Thanks for the info and posting.
nice tune.
