| Abstract | Folk singer and actor Josh Daniel White, Jr. was born on November 30, 1940 in New York City as one of five children to Joshua Daniel White, Sr., the legendary, famed singer, guitarist, actor, and social leader, and his wife Carol. White began performing at age four with his father. In 1949, he landed his first role on Broadway, playing his father's son in How Long Til Summer? For his performance, White won a Tony Award for Best Child Actor. White recorded his first album See Saw in 1956. By the time White was twenty-one, he had starred in more than fifty American television dramas and co-starred with his father in Great Britain for North Grenada television in The Josh White Show. At the peak of the folk boom, mid-1960s through the late-1970s, White was considered one of the National Association of Campus Activities' most celebrated and honored performing artists. . |
