Boys and Girls, you have just witnessed *GOATNESS*

I always amazed me how they were always able to blend the vocals with the instruments without a break. It was seamless. The voice would go out and the instrument would come in then they would reverse it. THE GREATEST BAND EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!

Right on Xiomara, I've following them since back just before Disco music came out in the mid seventies! I'm even proud to say that I've still got their first albums they came out back in the days of the vynil records, 8 tracks and then in the early eighteis they came with cassettes, that were a pain to get to a specific song that you wanted to listen to, and many times the tape would get tangled up or break, people that owned them know what I'm talking about! And I would listen to one of my favorite all time song of them Reasons the long version, especially while slow dancing with that special lady or someone that you really liked or wanted to get to know! Right on, right on! My only regret is that after more forty five of listening, buying and danced to their music God knows how many times! I've still haven't seen them live in a concert and I live in Tampa, Florida. And if I'm not mistaken they've been here at least four times in the last fifteen years! But hopefully next time they come God willing no matter what I'll be there! They don't make bands like that anymore and that have been around for almost fifty years and super famous and successful for that many years! Rest in peace the founder the late Maurice White! ❤️🕊️🇦🇷🇦🇷🇨🇺

A tear rolled down my cheek, when I saw Maurice on stage.

First of all this is when award shows were worth watching simply because of groups like Earth Wind & Fire who play live music and not singing from some computer or turntable who actually show the reason why they are legends and they will forever be Legends and needless to say the greatest band ever to perform! I'm not knocking any of our younger generation musicians but there just no comparisons great Earth Wind & Fire! #MemphisproductMauriceWhite

My kids are just a bit younger than you and I raised them on it. When my son was in band in high school his teacher asked an old skool type question/s and asked if anyone had a clue to who he was talking about. Everyone was stomped/clueless....except my son, waving his hand and all full of himself. The class and moreso the teacher was amazed that he knew the answer was EW&F. When asked how he knew: It's my mom's favorite band and she has always played their music. I grew up singing their songs. It's 2 of their c.d.'s in my car right now :-).

For me, it was the early 80's. Little white kid growing up south of Chicago. I remember telling my neighbor how much I liked Kool and the Gang. I must have been 8 or 9. He hands me a cassette tape to play at home. I popped it in and heard "Let's Groove" by EWF for the first time in my life. I was hooked! I believe I wore that tape out! Now 45 years old and I am still watching their old videos from that time period.

Absolutely the baddest band EVER assembled, ... thank you Maurice White and the rest of the group; horns awesome!

EWF will never be forgotten there will never be another group like theirs. This was the era of the best bands and musicians and singers. Regardless of how old they get they will be young in our hearts. Their music will continue for many generations to come. we love you always. I won't take away the credit for other great musicians but I am Baby Boomer so the 60's 70's 80's 90' 2000's will always be the greatest era of Soul, R&B

Lord Jesus im 27 and I wasn’t even thought of yet but I love me some ewf

My big brother, God rest his soul, introduced me to the Elements & "real music" when I was very young. I am thankful to him and I still have an appreciation to this day. There have been many great bands but EWF set the standard. I love this band and still go see them perform every chance I get.

Such Humble guys... unlike now..ppl front over tying their show laces right.

I can't say I've never believed in church. But my life has been one of thanking god. Living in the project's in Chicago, my life has not been easy. I remember getting up in the morning going to a bench watching the sun come up . I would take my giant portable radio and turning it as loud as I could. The music of earth, wind & fire would be my church. It would lift me up. And I would talk to God . And he would talk to me. He would tell me to hold on and keep my head to sky. Peace.

Perfect! 1975 Loyd Noble Center on the Campus of Oklahoma University winter time EWF appeared . Man I was young man on a track scholarship and did I enjoy my time . That night place was packed with black folks waving there hands above to the beat. I made my way down front and just took it all in . Maurice was show man did he gives us something special.. Everyone that night had a good time . No violence just joy and smiling faces.. What a great time. LB Nov 2022

OMG - times were simple people had respect and the MUSIC bumping was 🌎🌬🔥was the baddest band around.

They will never be another like Earth Wind and Fire. This is when music was great. It meant something. It made you feel good. God I wish I could go back in time.
