When Ben White was 25 years old Eddy Bongo Brown of the Funk Brothers brought him to Motown to play with Marvin Gay, 5 years later he recorded this single ‘I would have to be a fool’ and released it himself. Ben comes from a long line of musicians in his family, his cousins are Cab Calloway and Otis Redding.
Over the years he sessioned for Marvin Gay, Bloodstone, Carl Carlton, High Energy, Harold Johnson, J.W. Alexander, Richard T & The Salsoul Orchestra
Unfortunately, as is often the case, children came along and Ben moved away from music, this and forthcoming AOTN single ‘Give Me Love’ were his only solo recordings unless we can find the tapes of his lost LP further down the line.
