I liked the way NPR described him. "....laid back, with a slightly dangerous demeanor like a well fed alligator...". Seems about right.

White wrote some of the standouts on Tina Turner's "Foreign Affair" CD, including the well-known "Steamy Windows" and the lesser known 'Undercover Agent For The Blues. "
