Barrence Whitfield and the Savages + The Mighty Fine

Barrence Whitfield—whose real name is Barry White, no joke—brought the R&B stylings of Little Richard to Boston in the ’80s. With his band the Savages, Whitfield achieved cult status via a live show so potent that he was known to pass out onstage occasionally. Now Whitfield and crew are back, with a new album, Savage Kings, to boot.
