The Tragic Legacy of Ike White, with producer Jerry Goldstein.

Record Store Day 2026 Preview pt. 3.

Legendary music producer Jerry Goldstein (Eric Burdon & War, Sly & The Family Stone and more) is here to discuss the fascinating and often tragic story of Ike White, who recorded a forgotten 1974 funky soul cult classic, Changin' Times, with a mobile truck at Tehachapi State Prison while serving a life sentence for murder. That album so moved Stevie Wonder that he actively campaigned for White's early release from prison. This year, Rhino has remastered and pressed 3000 copies of Changin' Times for an RSD Exclusive release. We discuss the events surrounding the original album with its producer, Goldstein, whose own music business history includes co-writing the 1960s "girl group" hit "My Boyfriend's Back" for The Angels, and being one third of the "fake Australian surf group" The Strangeloves ("I Want Candy") and going on to work with Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, and the act he put together, Eric Burdon & WAR, whom he also produced.
