Founder of the group, Earth, Wind and Fire, Maurice White was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in the 1980s. Maurice has done well since his diagnosis, but Parkinson's is a debilitating neurological disorder that has called for an adjustment in his lifestyle. As a result, he no longer performs with the group, but continues to stay active in the music industry.
