Maybe it was Gerald lol

But he never revealed it just named the G in his name at whatever was going on at the moment. Like when he met BB King he said the G stood for GRAMMY

Interesting, thanks for the info

Was it just Fred or was it short for Frederick?

I'd like to see a complete list of all the adjectives/meanings that came out of Fred's mouth of what the G stood for.

Must have been about 50-75 of them.
