R.I.P. - Fred White (EWF) (13 Jan 1955 - 1 Jan 2023)

Exactly two weeks ago today we posted a posthumous birthday tribute to EWF's Maurice White. We are saddened to learn of the death of his younger brother and EWF drummer Frederick Eugene 'Freddie' White yesterday aged 67.

Prior to joining his brothers Maurice, Verdine and road manager Monte in EWF aged 19 in 1974 he performed on Donny Hathaway's Live album in 1972 as well as "Extensions Of A Man" in 1973 along with albums by Voices of East Harlem, Willie Hutch (Fully Exposed), Caston & Majors, Linda Ronstadt and rock back Little Feat.

His first album with EWF was "That's The Way Of The World" (1975) and he remained with the group until the mid 80s playing on nine albums, but also appeared on albums by The Emotions, Deniece Williams, Glady Knight & The Pip, Deodato, Ramsey Lewis, Stanley Turrentine, Jennifer Holliday and Ronnie Laws amongst others..

The sad news was announced by brother Verdine on his facebook page stating that he now joins brothers Maurice (4 Feb 2016 74),  Ronald and Monte (21 Apr 2020 66).
