Lari said, "As a singer, I want to outlive myself." Through emerging digital and new media, her wish may very well come true. When Lari made her RCA Records debut 30 years ago, CDs had only just begun outselling cassette tapes. Downloadable and streaming media like YouTube and Spotify didn't even exist. Through the digital portion of this project, we intend to continue our efforts of digitally restoring and making widely available as much of Lari White's music as possible. Enhancing and upgrading Lari's official website — as well as maintaining Lari's legacy through social media platforms (Facebook , Twitter/X , Instagram ) — will remain an ongoing priority.

"I don’t imagine any of my songs will be remembered 100 years from now. But while someone is here now, if they could hear a song of mine on the radio — and it means something in their lives — and when they get to be 65, 70 or 80 years old, they hum it to themselves —
that’s what I hope my songs could do."
