Het is al 25 jaar geleden dat de Amerikaanse gitarist Robert White is overleden (foto Wikipedia).
De zwarte gitarist Robert White, die ook die dag werd geboren, is minder bekend, maar dat is totaal ten onrechte. Hij is namelijk one of the guitarists for Motown’s in-house studio band, the Funk Brothers. White is best known for performing the guitar riff on The Temptations’ number-one hit single “My Girl”, but played the guitar on many successful Motown records, including “Can I Get a Witness” by Marvin Gaye, “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” by The Supremes, “My Cherie Amour” by Stevie Wonder, “Something About You” by the Four Tops and “It’s a Shame” by The Spinners. White died of complications from open heart surgery in Los Angeles in October 1994, aged 57. [Wikipedia]
