Earth Wind&Fire ....Best Band in history
My Mother's Is Always Love Earth Wind & Fire She Collects All Albums :)
One of the greatest bass players in music history. His trailblazing style and high energy performances defined the jazz, rock funk that came out of America's urban centers during the 70s and 80s.
Along with the rest of the band, he held down the iconic groove of their music, as it shifted from soul during the early years to disco, and on to soul, jazz, rock fusion, without missing so much as a beat.
EWF served as the template followed by many groups during that same period, but equaled by none...because they didn't have Verdine White!
I always loved Design Style!💖💖💖💖💖💖
OOOOOOOOCHILE🥰🥰 BRUTAL 💯❤💜💣💥E 🏞W 🌫& 🔥

One Of The Greatest Bass Players Ever! Underated
THE ONE AND ONLY GROUP IN THE WORLD THAT'S WILL NEVER DIE. MUCH LOVE ❤❤ LIVE ON EARTH WIND AND FIRE

You never heard of the Beatles have you...and then there's this other group...oh yeah,and theres this group...😂and this one.....😂and this one.
The band IS my idol. Maurice White and his brothers are icons and blessings. Verdine inspired me to begin playing bass.
Verdine was one of my greatest influences!
Dear Verdine White, l will keep you in my prayers that you and your family are well. Thank you for the wonderful years of giving us beautiful music with Earth Wind & Fire. May God richly bless and keep you. 😊
Earth, Wind and Fire is a phenomenal band. Loved them since Kalimba. My concern was their dabbling in mysticism & astrology. God is clear in the Bible not to open up doors to the occult or go after idols. Help them see the light! Stick with the word and Jesus. Always .
My favorite group, Maurice White Rest In Peace 💙🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Earth Wind and Fire. Best band ever!
Back in the 70s I was a teen working at a Days Inn Motel/lodge. One day a group of blacks came in and checked into a couple of our lodges. I was the restaurant/gift shop cashier at the time. My cashier's station faced the front door and check in desk. After these people checked in, a little while later one of them came and bought a deli sandwich and chips. As I rang up his stuff, I felt he looked familiar but wasn't sure from where. So I noticed he has on an Earth, Wind and Fire t shirt that was the album cover of one of their albums as they were shown to be standing in a triangle. The guy in front of me, as I looked at his shirt, turned out to be one in the same! It was Maurice White! Earth, Wind and Fire had checked into our Days Inn to stay there a few days. I asked him what they were doing there and he told me that they has some "down time" and wanted to rest. I never asked him for his autograph. Now since his passing I wish I would have. I think I also saw Verdine at the check in desk and also Phillip Bailey. none of the others ever came and bought a meal or anything, so I never got to interact with them. But the backup singers the Emotions were also there and one would come down each evening and buy a deli sandwich, chips and a drink and would stand there and talk with me a few minutes. There were all very nice people. I told the Emotion singer that I was a drummer and that I loved Earth, Wind and Fire's songs. That was a rare encounter with some rock stars that proved that they are all just people too and we all are pretty much the same human beings as God made us to be. I'll never forget that time in my life when I met Maurice and the Emotion singer girl.
Puh... Verdine is one of my musical Heroes who took me to my youth with their phenomenal Music. What a life, what Destinys and what immense Love he spread though. Amazing!!!
I love Earth wind & fire that's like my favorite group in the whole world
😢this is the first time I’ve ever written a comment about an article that I read in comments . Thank you for sharing with us!! It brought tears to my eyes,to think that people could not see and hear music that is life changing in itself. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink it !!!!! Again, thank you for your thoughts.
You took the words out of my mouth.
This story had me crying😢
He was a good bass player and his hair was always laid ❤
IS! He's STILL doing his thing; all that hair is still "laid"! 👌
There is no one perfect in this world 🌎, no matter how successful or disfunktional you maybe, therefore love your neighbor as you love yourself ❤️ Amen 🙏🙏🙏
I was at a stoplight in LA and I was daydreaming. The light has changed and I’m alerted by a car horn! I looked up to see Verdine White in a white jag behind me! I recognized him and waved. He waved back and smiled! About a year and a half later, I am in LA and stopped at a light and again alerted by a car horn and it’s Verdine again! I wanted to get out and tell him we did this a year and a half ago!
A serious bassist. His bass lines are legendary
Verdine has and is a blessing to all of us we all go through heartache but God gives us strength and peace to keep our head's to the sky knowing that Jesus Christ will always be there Verdine you're never alone Jesus Christ is always with you in Jesus name Amen 🙏🏿👼🏾♥️
Verdine is truly an amazing musician and his stage presence was a very big part in the their live performances. Never have there been a bassist on the stage doing jumping jacks and leaping all over the stage like this man. He was such a joy to watch live, and his playing skills was way up there with the best of them. He was one of several bassist to inspire me to pursue the bass; Jameson and Jermaine was my biggest inspirations as a kid though.
Much love to you and your family Verdine, your presence and that of your dear brother Maurice will always remain alive. Earth, Wind and Fire is an experience, each and every one of you is a blessing and gift of Spirit, the voice of Phillip is one that my soul hears, beyond sound. Thank you for the love you have shared for so many.
There’s nothing tragic about Verdine if anything, he’s very blessed to be the person that he is and how far he has became as a human being and father, sibling, husband, musician etc… he’s really a true person to me
Verdine...AWESOME Dude, keeping you & family in my prayers. So glad that you've overcome many obstacles. I LOVE EW&F...Always/Forever! I thank you guys for giving us your BEST & MORE!!!
What a talent and such beautiful music… 🎶
Deepest condolences to his family
So is he deceased or what? It seems as though I'm missing something here! 🤷🏽♀️
Lord lord I didn't know that 😔😔😲😲 earth winn and fire was the bomb❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ how much could one take ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
AWESOME MUSICIAN --- UNREAL THE WAY MY BROTHER --- COULD " WORK IT OUT " ON STAGE!!!!!!
Favorite then and nowThe bass player.
Earth, Wind & Fire performed live in an enormous dome in Johannesburg, South Africa about ten years ago and I was given a ticket to see the concert by a good friend. The show had been sponsored by South Africa's Lottery and hardly received any publicity at all. I wouldn't have even heard about it, never mind attended it, had my friend not bought me that ticket. She happens to be a genius and knew about my obsession with the band and especially with Verdine White and his magical bass playing and songwriting. Just to set the scene a little, let me explain that I saw Rammstein perform at the same venue a year earlier and there were about 40,000 people at that gig. I was literally squished up against the back wall at the farthest end of the Dome away from the stage, but I could still feel the heat from their pyrotechnic show even though they themselves were like ants on that stage. The Lotto-sponsored Earth, Wind and Fire gig, especially given the South African racial demographics, should have had at least that many people in attendance. Instead, myself and my friend were two of maybe two-hundred people experiencing the spiritual ecstasy only Earth, Wind and Fire has ever been able to create in a live environment. It was an enormous blessing, but shame on you, Lotto. Our National Lottery really let those guys down.
They played and sung incredibly, and Verdine, though probably in his 70s at the time, played in his sparkling white jumpsuit with all the energy of a 16-year-old on meth. God rest your soul, Verdine. Thank God for Earth, Wind and Fire, and damn the South African Lottery for letting them down the way they did. They had to have been a bit bummed, although show it they did not! They performed as if there were two million of us in that audience. I am eternally grateful. Thank you so much, Angela, for the ticket. I love you and miss you.
But it's ok. A crowd means NOTHING! Only a CHOSEN FEW! Now just let that marinade with a smile on your face! 🙏🏽😇✌🏽💜👌🥰🤗
God be with him and his family love earth, wind, and fire, they are the best
Omg earth wind fire brought so much good music love 💗 sad that it’s fading away but will always be played backyard BBQ yard work or just chilling 💕💕 play on ❤

I was a budding recording engineer in the mid 80s in LA, and at 21 found myself recording demos for an all girl band (Strictly Business, never went anywhere), produced by Verdine White. I worked on a few other projects with him, including some work with Tony LeMans (later signed by Prince). I spent quite a bit of time with Verdine, and he invited me to his house for Thanksgiving. Verdine is a very kind and generous person, and a rare kind of deep, "human" person. And very funny as well. One day he said to me (a white guy): "Hey, Pete, how come your last name is "Blackman" and my last name is "White"? I said: "I don't know." Also, totally straight no drug guy when I worked with him.
One of the baddest R&B bands out there! They’re all pretty much retired now! But their music will live on! Thank you Maurice & Verdine for your contributions to music for all to enjoy! Same to others! Some underrated too! Can’t mention all! But I loved 70’s 80’s music! Others before as well!
Blessings and strength Verdine continue being that shining star you are.❤
Anu Bless his Soul forever in Yashua name 🎉
Born in 1957 and born as a EW&F fan,
Back in dah daze, l first saw them perform at the Scope in Va. It was awesome and a great experience.

He is very strong and his talent shall overcome his negativity long live Mr White he stands 20 ft tall in my book
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VERDINE WAS VERY INFLUENTIAL IN MY BASS PLAYING and produ iing and writing style❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Verdine💎is was and always will be the man! The first time I heard him play was on the original “Power” 1972..
We LOVE YOU VERDINE, proud that you have overcome so much, we love you to life.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I love EWF, FOREVER!
Amazing group many hits but we all have personal lives to deal with it and we can't stay here forever so live your life now
👑👑👑🎶FOREVER EARTH 🏞WIND🌫 &🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 LEGENDS NEVER DIE MAURICE VERDEEN PHYLLIP TRIPLE 3'S. SALUTE & TO ALL OTHER BANDMATES 🌈🚀
These were your reincarnated Egyptian brothers of the Earth Wind and Fire Gods. They were born magicians turned musicians performing real time alchemy, and legends of transitional time. Their female counterparts were a group known as "The Emotions" "Boogie Wonderland" was a song inspired by a hidden colony in the Egyptian dynasty where the Gods would go to listen to music. The historical events run deep in the blood of many musicians. Like the Eagles bloodline belonging to the masterful musician Celtics and Viking Gods. These are offspring of Gods.
He and Maurice shared a specific al brotherly love.
"He was also known for his flamboyant stage presence..."
Awesome bassist!
He really likes ves and enjoy music.
Phenomenal band, I love them all 🙏
Mr. Verdine White is one of the most important, popular, and wonderful members of Earth Wind, and Fire.
I've always loved and admired Verdine! He is one of my biggest influences for me to become a bassist! I still love playing (and trying on some of his other recordings). I was a young teen in the 70's and man, EWF was everything to me! God bless him and his wife and continued prayers for them and all of EWF.
Verdine White has and will always be my favorite bass player!!!!❤👍🙏
I also like Earth!………………Windandfire
Sometimes the people sharing information do not research it very well. Maurice was with Ramsey Lewis not Verdine. Who was the Jeanette that Vardine lost ? Verdine Father was also a Doctor. I cannot believe he was a drug addict or alcoholic if so for how long through the mourning period of his girlfriend? Shelly his wife was a star also with a band. She got breast Cancer ? Year Thank You For your Informatio .
hard To catch a Break...Sometimes!
El Paso Texas loves Earth wind & fire..
Everybody hurts
very inspirational people
*terrible!* His wife is alive and well! And *all three brother's died!* Shout out to *Verdine!* 👍🏽
What 3 brothers died only 2 others in band Fred and Maurice
I was so excited to have met him and his family. He is the most amazing kind and humble celebrity I have ever met. Please keep supporting live music by pulling up Fire Godz so much trouble in the world or walk away from love and who the cap fit and feel free to leave a comment.
Wow had no idea that Verdine was on cocaine.and had all of these trajadies going on in his life.kudos to him for weathering the storm.
He & entire group
I saw him in 77 ..i always thought he was on crack ....hahaha....but that was the farthest from the truth..he was the most energetic performers ive ever seen...hell of a showman.all over the stage ...great musician
yo.. he has had a regular life.. way easier to sell TRAGEDY for clicks.. Love u Verdine!
Gotta love these AI robotic channels!
Well, at least it brings humanlike speaking voice to reading books on our own.
Definitely not a founder of the group it was Maurice, Maurice brought him in
Without adoubt.
Earth (pause) Wind and Fire😏
You've got your information incorrect, he's a great player a finger player not a slap bass player at all?
When I see "sad and tragic" on a UA-cam video then I suspect it's clickbait and ignore it.
The Narrator sounds like AI when he says Earth Wind & Fire
You didn’t mention his little brother, Freddy White
Didn't Bert Ruiter sub for Verdine white at one point?
So many inaccuracies here. Who writes this stuff? Maybe the A.I. voice generator makes it up?
SAD TRAGIC STORY???????? This story is simply how life works FOR EVERYBODY!!! There will be losses, setbacks and challenges. There will be sickness and death. That is simply the reality for us all.
Earth................................... wind 'n fire!?
In 1969-70 The original name of the group was "The Salty-Peppers". 😅😂
He got Kung Fu!
Sounds like a success story… That hair tho…
1974 1996 30 years? The math does not work. Unless his girlfriend died while he was already married. What am I missing?
I thought his brother Maurice was the founder of the group!
At this stage of their careers, it’s Earth Wind and Fiber…
