Great White originally started in the 70s as Dante Fox but later changed their name to that of the shark. They didn’t release their debut album until 1984. The band was offered tour slots with other metal bands which helped their exposure. During the 80s the band released Great White (1984), Shot in the Dark (1986), Once Bitten (1987), and …Twice Shy (1989). The band peaked commercially with the Twice Shy album and a huge hit with their cover of Ian Hunter’s song “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”. This propelled the band to superstar status with heavy rotation on both radio and MTV. While fans still followed the group in the 90s, trouble was brewing within the band and ultimately they parted ways with singer Jack Russell. Jack Russell went on to form his own band under the name Jack Russell’s Great White, while Mark Kendall kept going with the original name. Jack Russell passed away in 2024.
