A legendary Detroit band has been recognized with one of music industry’s highest honors.
The White Stripes were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this month. With that distinction, the band is now alongside some of Detroit's greats, like Stevie Wonder, Bob Seger, and Aretha Franklin.
The duo exploded onto the national scene in the early 2000s and released six studio albums across ten years. Songs like “Blue Orchid,” “Icky Thump,” and the iconic stadium banger “Seven Nation Army” are examples of the raw textures and driving beats that characterize their approach to garage-punk.
Meg and Jack eventually split after 2011 but their contributions to music in Detroit and America will be forever recognized. Mike Latulippe, host of The Detroit Move on WDET, played with Jack White back in the day. He joined the program to discuss the band's legacy.
