Verdine is a class act. His talents are many, and he’s willing to sit for in depth interviews, no big ego, he’s a soft spoken man who exudes humility. Watching him onstage is a joy. EWF has been the best, most revered band in several decades. Maurice White must be proud of the brilliant band he founded so many years ago, Verdine and the band members are keeping this incredible music around for generations to come. God bless all former and current members, because I discovered EWF in 1970, saw many concerts back in the day. All that talent made beautiful music. I’m 66 now, and they only get better with time. Not a day goes by that I don’t listen to EWF. GOOD FOR THE SOUL….🌎🌪🔥
This was a great interview..very humble and cool brother 😎 we all miss Maurice White RIP 💔 (side note: slightly bothered me the interviewer kept interrupting and talking over him)
Ha! You got me. Point taken. We were rushing to get the interview done before it started raining - which it did, pretty heavily, as soon as we were done! Notice how much darker the sky was at the end of the interview than at the beginning, after only 7 minutes or so! Working on a follow-up with Verdine. This time we’ll do it on Zoom, taking as much time as needed! 😂Thanks for weighing in!
Tbh after watching verdine I am truly becoming a real humble person also I’m conducting and treating others with nothing but kindness and I feel great about it I love spreading the love and I never use to be like this crazy how a video of a celebrity can change you now I know for sure this is the real me
I had the pleasure of seeing Earth, Wind & Fire Verdine White in Hollywood Florida. He had so much energy. Such an articulate and humble brother. Happy to see come across this interview tonight.
Such a great bassist. It's crazy how many incredible songs he's played on. Awesome to know he's also helping feed and teach communities. If only there were more people like him who are humanitarians. More people that gave back rather than just counting their cash. The world would be a better place!
EWF was the holy gospel of music .It inspired and motivated .Maurice was a father figure to many . His wisdom and positive message .Kept me out of trouble when was growing up in the late 60's & 70's and beyond .
It was great to learn a little bit more about Verdine White and his performing the arts foundation. I just donated to the foundation to help support him and the kids. What a great human being. Thank you
Great interview. Verdine is a tremendous bass player and performer in a class of his own! There’s no other like him! All eyes are him when he performs on stage! One of the greatest!
The Greatest Respect to you from Down Under ! I ‘ pitch ‘ off bass ( vocals) - and just feel the sound in my soul.. The way you supported the co writer of September on the clip I just saw ( what a Honey, Miss Allie! ) - was so supportive & professional. Utmost!🎶🇦🇺
Maurice White a TRUE. GENTLE ...MAN !! YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON !!! WITH A WARM HEART !! I ADMIRE YOU !!! And love hearing your stories about EARTH WIND AND FIRE!! The BEST GROUP EVER !!!! You make the group COMPLETE !!!
For bass players O ?? I don't know who you are !! My comment for Verdine was from my HEART !! The more I see and hear Verdine the more I Admire him and feel a Great Deal of RESPECT FOR HIM !!! HE SHOULD OF BEEN MORE NOTICED !! AND.
Extraordinary bassist for the greatest group ever. Check out their catalog. If we ever needed a song to calm the storm we're experiencing now it's got to be 'Love Is Alive'. The line "and the birds in the treetops, how they protect their young from the wild", will stand the test of time.
Point taken, Piano Girl. We were in such a hurry, though, because of the weather. Notice how much darker it was at the end of the interview than it was at the beginning - less than 10 minutes later! 😂 Glad you liked the interview, though. Thanks for commenting!
Yeah! it took a long time to recognize such a wonderfull talent in our life time people of te world!!! Greetings from guatemala city. the hart of the mayan world.
Nice interview! Thank you for posting. Just curious... why are you practically sitting on Verdine's lap? This puts you pretty much 'in his face'. No disrespect... just curious.
LOL! You got me, Stephen. I don’t remember, but it seems to me there was a reason. Trouble hearing him? Mic issue? I don’t know, but I’m glad you liked the interview anyway! 😂
Love how how he is so professional classy and also goes wild on stage. If he had become a doctor, he would never be able to show his wild side. So glad he never did that!
@@ForBassPlayersOnly Yeah he stopped in either 1980 or 1981, he didn’t sing for too long! But yes he is a very great bass player! That could possibly be one of the reasons!
Verdine is the man! Our band is proud to be mentored by Verdine White and John Paris of EWF. We just re-recorded EWF’s Love’s Holiday with Verdine and John. Would love to know what you think! ruclips.net/video/-caJaIsqqmc/видео.html

Verdine White is a product of his time, which I'm thankful I'm a part of: Respectful, humble, and just an all around good guy.
The bass to Shinning Star blows me away till this day . I'm gonna rock it now .
All true. Thanks!
I’ve always loved that one too. Thanks for the comment!
Not just a great Bass player but a SHOWMAN!!! Classy guy!
For sure. Thanks, Bernie!

I absolutely love Earth Wind and Fire.....Verdine IS a legend in the true sense of the word...
You got that right, Jonathan. There’s nobody like Verdine!
The Greatest Respect to you from Down Under !
I ‘ pitch ‘ off bass ( vocals) - and just feel the sound in my soul..

You bet, Ms. Trace. Verdine’s awesome! Thanks for weighing in.
I love u Verdine I’d love to hear someone ask u about your super high energy onstage it’s so beautiful
We’ll have to bring that up next time! Thanks. 😀
That's the man Vedine White, been listening to their music 🎶since I was a teenager, I'm in my 60s now, and still listening to their music 🎶
EWF’s music is timeless for sure! Thanks for weighing in.

Verdine is a class act, and a helluva bad a** Bass player. He's my favorite. Even on a couple of Jazz productions I have heard him on were awesome.
For sure. Thanks, Kam!
Verdine is AWESOME
Yes he is! Thanks, Maureen.
Legend!
I love to see him perform..love❤❤❤❤🌎🎤🎼🎵
Who doesn’t? 😀Thanks, Sharon!

Verdine is a genious!!!, super cool person!!!
Yes, Verdine’s great! Thanks, A.G!
my school teacher was related to him. He was a gym school teacher at Henson Gradeschool, and Coach at Manley High, both in chicago
👍
What a cool guy. Been a fan for ever.
Verdine’s very cool for sure. Thanks, Nigel.
amo ver esse cara tocando.
👍
Thanks for this great interview.
Glad you liked it, jrbs. Thanks!
He’s so chill! But he has so much energy on stage. Please don’t pull the mic away from Verdine’s mouth while he is TALKING!
Point taken, Piano Girl. We were in such a hurry, though, because of the weather. Notice how much darker it was at the end of the interview than it was at the beginning - less than 10 minutes later! 😂 Glad you liked the interview, though. Thanks for commenting!
@@ForBassPlayersOnly now that you pointed that out, I’m so embarrassed. Thank you for providing these kind of videos.♥️
Verdine is a lovely guy❤️
Indeed! Thanks, Chichi.
Verdine White is probably the best Bass player on the planet.🎸
Yes, Verdine is awesome. Thanks, William.
Yeah! it took a long time to recognize such a wonderfull talent in our life time people of te world!!! Greetings from guatemala city. the hart of the mayan world.
Thanks, Carlos. I have fond memories of performing in Guatemala!
Legend
Yes!
One smooth brother 😎
For sure. Thanks, Carey!
Nice interview! Thank you for posting. Just curious... why are you practically sitting on Verdine's lap? This puts you pretty much 'in his face'. No disrespect... just curious.
Yes, the proximity was too close.
LOL! You got me, Stephen. I don’t remember, but it seems to me there was a reason. Trouble hearing him? Mic issue? I don’t know, but I’m glad you liked the interview anyway! 😂
What a nice guy!!! :)
For sure!
Verdine is a actually a doctor of music.
Didn’t know that, Maurice. Cool!
I'm not sure if he is literally, but based on the amount of music he has played, I consider him a doctor.
Verdine inspired generations of bass players.
Sure did! Thanks, Maurice.
Class Act!
You bet! Thanks, Curt.
Mr V what about ForMauricePlayersOnly !
🤔
Why he NEVER talks about Fred White?????????
Is there anything with him talking about Fred? What happened to Fred
🤔
Love how how he is so professional classy and also goes wild on stage. If he had become a doctor, he would never be able to show his wild side. So glad he never did that!
Sometimes things just turn out he way they’re supposed to! Thanks for the comment, Wasabi.
When Is EWF Coming Back to The 518(SPAC)?
🤔
Did you catch it when he said, "All in All?"
😀
Hello, why did Verdine white stop singing?
Not aware of him ever singing. Maybe it’s because he’s such a great bass player!
@@ForBassPlayersOnly Yeah he stopped in either 1980 or 1981, he didn’t sing for too long! But yes he is a very great bass player! That could possibly be one of the reasons!
Love his playing. I just have one qu... Is that hair real?
Yes. Relaxer does that.
Did he say "give him the check"? hahaha. He's known this guy for so long but still wants his money. haha
Lol! He sure the hell did!! Hahaha
Pretty sure he was joking. 😂
Verdine is the man! Our band is proud to be mentored by Verdine White and John Paris of EWF. We just re-recorded EWF’s Love’s Holiday with Verdine and John. Would love to know what you think! ruclips.net/video/-caJaIsqqmc/видео.html
