DOB Unknown – September 27, 2013
Lorne Black is perhaps best remembered as the original bassist for Los Angeles metal band, Great White. Originally formed as Highway in 1978, the band morphed through a few different names and lineups until finally settling as Great White with Black on bass during the early ’80s. Black played on the band’s debut EP, Out Of The Night as well as their first three LPs, Great White, Shot In The Dark, and Once Bitten while helping them build a sizable following outside their hometown by nearly non-stop gigging. Those early shows included tours supporting Whitesnake and Judas Priest. After parting ways with the band during the late ’80s, Black went on to play in a prog rock band, LBC, do soundtrack work, and record at least one solo album, Who’s Doing Who?. Lorne Black passed away on September 27, 2013. Cause of death was not immediately released.
