Description
Christopher Taylor "Chris" White is a former bass guitarist and songwriter of the 1960s British Invasion band The Zombies.
White was born in Barnet, Hertfordshire and brought up in Markyate where his parents owned a village shop.
White replaced the Zombies' initial bassist, Paul Arnold, and was one of the band's two main songwriters, alongside Rod Argent. He wrote two tracks on their USA debut LP, The Zombies, released in January 1965. On the UK debut release, Begin Here, he had four tracks, one co-written with Argent. For the Zombies' performances in the 1965 film Bunny Lake Is Missing White wrote "Nothing's Changed" and "Remember You". He also wrote seven of the twelve songs on the group's final album and generally acknowledged masterpiece, Odessey and Oracle, with Argent contributing the remainder. White, though not the band's main vocalist, contributed lead vocals to "Butcher's Tale" and sang a verse of "Brief Candles".
His song "I Love You", originally recorded by The Zombies in 1965, was a hit for the band People! in 1968.
Following the demise of The Zombies, White contributed songwriting and production work to Colin Blunstone's solo career and Rod Argent's new band, Argent.
