Verdine White turns 75 on July 25. As the younger brother of founder Maurice White, who died in 2016, and drummer Fred White, who died in 2023, Verdine is now the last surviving White brother. More than five decades after joining the group, he also remains the only member from the band's original lineup era still performing with Earth, Wind & Fire.
The results speak for themselves. Earth, Wind & Fire has sold more than 90 million records worldwide and collected six Grammy Awards, while earning induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and receiving the Kennedy Center Honors.
Few bands boast a catalog as beloved as Earth, Wind & Fire's. Classics including "Shining Star," "That's the Way of the World," "September," "Fantasy," "Let's Groove," "Boogie Wonderland" and "After the Love Has Gone" remain staples of radio, movies, television and celebrations around the world.
As he celebrates his milestone 75th birthday, Verdine White stands not only as one of music's great bassists but as the enduring heartbeat of one of the most influential and successful bands in popular music history.
