If Music Be The Food Of Love .....

The Legend Of Zorro

Authorities at the Sea Life London Aquarium, which piped the music of Barry White into a tank to encourage two sharks to breed, say the tactic has paid off. Formerly shy shark Zorro has become a marine love machine, with staff warning guests about his frisky behaviour.

FOOTNOTE: Frisky business.

About fifteen years ago, when the late Barry White (the gravel-voiced singer whose music earned a new generation of fans through the hit TV series `Ally McBeal') was touring Australia, he gave Doug Aiton a wonderful quote in an interview for `The Sunday Age'. The singer said his voice used to be as squeaky as Michael Jackson's, then when he hit puberty it altered overnight. It was so dramatic that his father used to take him to all the neighbours and tell him to talk so everyone could marvel at the change.
