Born Verdine Adams Jr., on July 25, 1951 in Chicago, Illinois to Edna, a teacher’s aide & nurse, and Verdine Adams Sr. a doctor, he is the younger half-brother of the great Maurice White, a brother to twin sister Geraldine, drummer Fred White, tour manager Monte White and 5 other siblings. His dad, Dr Verdine Adams Sr., was a world war vet, a doctor, & an occasional saxophone player. He was well read, spoke 5 languages, & was looked at as a prince in his community. His dream was to see Verdine Jr. take after him as a doctor, but this was not meant to be.

I thank EWF! Their music and words encouraged me. I came from a home that put me down. Never told me anything good about me. Never told me I was pretty. I found out when people would say "You have no idea what you look like do you?" EWF is the reason I know that I was never a nothing ass young woman. I raised my children they are productive and raised good children as well. The Universe was right on time when I heard their unique sound that plucked the vibe within me!

The very best, why?: Great voices/harmony, great instrumentals, great lyrics, Great variety (R&B, jazz, gospel, instrumentals, rock, funk, disco, african/calyspo flavored, love songs, happy/positive/uplifting...etc), great albums, great album covers, great concerts....I know it's opinion, but fight me if you want, EWF is the best band ever.

Verdine deserves every accolade bestowed upon him, and then some. I have been lucky to be in his presence on multiple occasions, and I can tell you that he is so genuine and down to earth. He exudes kindness and love. I once hung out with him and Lionel Richie, also, one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I told them that I would like to see a super group formed between Earth Wind and Fire and The Commodores and call it The Fire Doors! So far my dream has not happened. If you ever have the opportunity to hang out with either of these gentlemen, they will treat you like a friend. Although they are superstars, they act like they are no better than you. It’s all love!

Verdine and Maurice had the same mother, but different father. Dr Adams (Verdine’s father) sent Maurice a bike when he was a little boy living in Memphis. Then he knew that man is my father. He later moved to Chicago to live with his mom and other half siblings. . Dr Adams treated him like a son, no wonder Verdine is such a pleasant down to earth person , he had good parents!

The positive and love energy they emitted into the atmosphere is still here. My 17 year old loves the song Let’s Grove got to see them perform!

Saw Earth, Wind and Fire at a casino in Alabama. I play a little guitar, and I was blown away by the band and the performance. I told my musician buddies how much I loved the bass player and his showmanship. They said “that was Verdine White, he’s a legend.” To make it even cooler, my wife and I had our first date on the 21st of September, 49 yrs ago! That song was epic that night. Glad we took the kids.

Earth,Wind and Fire is the one reason why I am in the African Kamitic way of life. From their influence on Kamit/ Egypt. I am a percussionist/ Musician/ vocalist and composer.

I have seen them in concert 15 times ( most recently 2023 with Lionel Ritchie) and Verdine each and every time exudes infectious enthusiasm and connects brilliantly with his audience. I often think of how he has played those songs (some for 50 years!) so many MANY times, but he never seems to forget just HOW MUCH it means to US to hear them!!!! Love love LOVE him, Philip Bailey, and our beloved EW&F.

I was fortunate to meet Verdine when he came to a musical play that I was playing bass for in the pit. It was a huge local hit in San Francisco in the early 80's. Called "Doo Wop". Verdine was intererested in buying the book, which I found out later he declined to do. After the show I was introduced him in the lobby of the theater. A true gentleman, he exuded charm and professionalism at a time when that seemed to be in short supply. Sadly for me, he reserved any comment on my playing other than to ask if I was playing a fretless bass (I was). One of my favorite memories from that time. And an EWF show I had witnessed at the New Haven Coliseum in the 70"s was by far the most amazing show I have ever seen, both musically and production wise.

Verdine definitely influenced me, because he was the first bass player I seen that could dance and play at the same time. Thats why I started dancing and playing. But most of the groups I played for no musician was dancing. Every one was telling me Alphonso you were the only one dancing so I stopped so know one would think I was trying to over shine anyone in the groups but they liked it 😢

In the summer of 1971 I visited my Uncles in L.A. for the summer, and listened to the radio both day and night! One night at 2am the I heard a song by EWF(my first), "Where have all the Flowers Gone", I bought the album, and I became a dedicated fan! Years later I had the honor to meet Verdine twice, at the Musician;s Union in Vine in Hollywood, and at an EWF concert in San Antonio TX, where I was a Manager of the host station. We met backstage and chatted for a bit; he was warm and very engaging. I'll never forget all those nights I spent studying their music and evolving my Spirit through they're message.Thx Verdine, I'm a fan and a Brother(bassist) for life!!God Bless you!!

The reason for Verdines success was due to the strong family support he got. Its a shame that alot of black artists never get this even nowadays.

That's not Verdine pictured at 4:08. That's their youngest brother Ron. He was a studio engineer at P.S. Recording Studios in Chicago alongside Paul Serrano. He passed away the same year as Maurice, if I remember correctly. Rest in peace, Ronald Adams-White. 🕊️

I am truly amazed at the dedication he applied to his GIFT. Some will have you beleve this. That when you're gited with a takent, you dont have to work. This Gentle-man is proving that wrong. "A gift is something you don't have to work on. When you are working your gift". My Uncle would tell me this often. I came to realize, its truth he spoke. When it's what you truly love. Its not working, but an expression of love. Love that the individual is sharing with the world. And it's being done through them from GOD to all that can understand, who GOD truly is, and that's LOVE. Earth, Wind and Fire, will always be the epitome of Love and Truth, with the Breath of GOD, that flows through each song. There's groups that will come, go and is forgotten. This group will NEVER BE GONE OR FORGOTTEN. As long as someone has listened to that Breath, that they have shared with the world. Thank you for sharing this gem. Much Respect 🙇‍♀️
