Süddeutsche Zeitung

Earth, Wind & Fire drummer #FredWhite passed away. He was the one to provide the beats to hits such as #September, #BoogieWonderland, #LetsGroove etc.

Drummer in the most pivotal moment for the band during its heyday in the mid 70's to early 80's.

#Spotify has the song #September streamed over 1.18 BILLION times!!!! Still hear it being played today, in fact it's one of the few guaranteed tunes you'll hear in my set during ,#Glastonbury whenever I perform there.

RIP #FredWhite.
