Michael White & The White

Michael White & The White is an American hard rock combo and occasional Led Zeppelin cover band, formed around singer Michael White.

Michael White started his career in 1973. He played with Los Angeles-based The Boyz, which line-up included Mick Brown and George Lynch (both of later Dokken fame), and he is credited as being a vocalist in early incarnations of London and Mötley Crüe.^[1]

Michael White formed The White in 1977 with guitarist Lanny Cordola (of Giuffria, House of Lords). Since then, he has toured with The White extensively through North America and Europe.^[2] They recorded two CDs for the Griffin Music label: Michael White/The White (1990) and Michael White Plays the Music of Led Zeppelin (1994), which were later re-released as a double-album under the title A Tribute To Led Zeppelin - Studio Sessions, Volume One & Volume Two.
