Agreed! Earth, Wind and Fire is one of my favorite groups. I'm often playing their music in my car.

 

Rip

 

Maurice White. The heart and soul of Earth, Wind & Fire. My favorites are Magnetic, Boogie Wonderland, Sing A Song, September, Serpentine Fire, Love's Holiday and Getaway. Great music.

I remember listening to THE Ramsey Lewis Trio's version of Dobey Gray's The In Crowd. Maurice White was on drums in that group. I had that album(it was recorded live). I loaned it to a buddy and never saw it again.

Thank you, Maurice. May you Rest In Peace.

 

Damn, one of the earliest groups I remember hearing as a kid. Rest in peace.

 

He would be sorely missed. I remember them in the 70's they are part of the soundtrack of many Black-Americans then. Liked them in the flick That's The Way of the World.

 

Earth, Wind & Fire once toured with Chicago. Both groups were fusion bands beginning with jazz.

 

Love that group. I wish r and b groups like them would come back

 

Let's drop some of their jams in celebration

Brilliant, uplifting songs, EWF, classic and classy R and B.

 

Awww! EWF was my favorite group back in the day. The live version of Reasons and Devotion were my two favorite songs. RIP, Maurice.
