I used to listen to an oldies radio station frequently from the age of 13-16 and I used to hear some of Earth, Wind and Fire's hits - mostly songs such as September and Fantasy. I was listening to some of their songs a few days ago and reminded of how I'd enjoyed them. I found out that they were the ones who sang Let's Groove, another song I enjoy.

I've always loved EWF. Did you know that lead singer Phillip Bailey later had a major hit duet with Phil Collins ("Easy Lover")?

EW&F are pretty commerical when you compare them to P-Funk. That said they are pretty enjoyable. "After The Love Has Gone" is one of my faves by them.

I love Earth, Wind, and Fire! They are one of my favorite funk bands! They are one of the few R&B bands from the 70s that has a new following. My favorite song from them is "That's the Way Of the World" I can listen to that once, and then over and over.

Yeah, that's true. But the difference between the two groups is that EWF sang clean funk, and P-Funk played dirty funk! LOL I love both groups though.

That's a good one, as is "Can't Hide Love".

Agreed

and so it the live versions of "Reasons"

I grew up listening to EWF too. "After The Love Has Gone" is beautiful.

BTW- there is a DVD out of their Greek Theatre concert that they co-headlined with Chicago (another favorite). Great concert.

Wish I was there in person.

They did justice to The Beatles' "Got To Get You Into My Life", which was the highest-charting song to come from the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band soundtrack!!

GARFIELDKOOL · 01-10-2009, 11:46 PM

Surprisingly, "Let's Groove" one of their biggest hits ever, was there last major hit as a group.

catlover79 · 01-10-2009, 11:54 PM

Being a September baby myself, I've always been partial to their hit song of the same name. After The Love Has Gone was #2 on Billboard the day I was born!! (My Sharona was #1.)

EWF's performance of this song is one of the only two good scenes (Aerosmith's "Come Together" being the other) from that whole dreadful movie.

Not even the scene where Barry Gibb punched out Alice Cooper??

I loved Earth, Wind and Fire back in the day. Their song, Fantasy, just takes me away.

isiahthomas · 02-07-2009, 02:15 PM

Earth Wind And Fire are awesome. My parents have a lot of their albums. You should check out their documentary dvd Shining Stars. It's very good and it's 2 hours. All of the band members are interviewed and they show old footage of their concerts. They also have a videos dvd which is real good.
