I was truly inspired by Earth Wind & Fire and Fred White's drums when I played drums in high school, 1975 - 1978. My sincere condolences to the White family.

A loss to the music world for sure, an incredible drummer who made a huge contribution to music, so many unforgettable songs. Prayers for the White family.

What a long and illustrious career. He was part of an amazing group and family, but he was a force in his own right. A truly talented musician and performer. So very sorry for this loss to the White family and Earth, Wind and Fire. May God be with you all as you endure this very difficult time of your loss.

I was so lucky to see Earth, Wind and Fire in person and meet them after their performance... I loved them for their work and personal beliefs. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.
