Ray White

Ray White is a soul vocalist and rock and blues guitarist, most well-known as a member of Frank Zappa's touring ensembles. He was drafted into Zappa's band in the fall of 1976, being featured on rhythm guitar and vocals, forming a memorable vocal harmony partnership with Ike Willis on later tours in 1980 and 1984. He participated on the albums Zappa in New York (March 1978) featuring a powerful lead vocal on "The Illinois Enema Bandit", Tinsel Town Rebellion (May 1981), You Are What You Is (Sept 1981), Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch (May 1982) and The Man From Utopia (March 1983). He also had a cameo appearance in Cheech & Chong's movie Nice Dreams.

Ray has also worked with jam-oriented groups like KVHW, Don't Push the Clown and Umphrey's McGee since his contributions to the Zappa band, and has more recently worked with a variety of Michigan artists, including former Rare Earth drummer Bob Weaver, as well as members of the funk/fusion combo Generic Produce.

In summer 2007 Ray White joined Dweezil Zappa as a special guest for the Zappa Plays Zappa Tour.

Ray White appears on Ed Englerth's song "I Forgot Who I Am" for Ed's new CD "Restless Ghost" on BlueSideDownStudios Recordings in 2008.
