Must listen to the Live version off the Gratitude album. They dont just kick that version up a notch, they take it to another universe!.

[@melissalittle4369]

I was going to say the same. Philip Bailey and the sax at the end! 🔥

[@koden24]

I was just about to make that comment 👍🏽

[@GoldenLady1007]

That is exactly what I came here to say. The live is iconic and legendary. It eclipsed the studio version to the point where I don't listen to it anymore. ✨️😊💛

[@minniekline5408]

Please listen to the live version. It will blow your mind!

[@myklegue3968]

just a little sad that you didn't go with the far superior live version....when he trades vocals with the sax player..it is spectacular!!

[@MauricioDelaRosa-ue9ut]

What a wonderful mistake that brought us beautiful Lex's virgin experience with Reasons. I knew both of you would love this song.

[@DesL488]

How could anyone dislike this song? The funny(?) thing is it's played at weddings, which really surprised the leader of the group Maurice White. You pull up the lyrics to understand why!

[@roi025]

I love EWF!!! I'm from Argentina and it's my favorite band since I met them there in 1977/8, it's wonderful and clearly exceeds its funky style, because they have pop, rock, soul, blues and jazz, and everything is perfectly balanced and wonderfully executed; special mention for the voice of Philipp Bailey, a genius

[@dereklowe946]

I love a bit of Earth Wind and Fire,they have this excellent song called Can't Hide Love. The vocal harmonies at the end of the song are spine tingling. All the best from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ronaldross6950]

I have to say that I did not think Scotland listened to this type of music. That makes we want to visit your country. You are all are amazing people. Thank GOD for you all.

[@dereklowe946]

@ronaldross6950 ,really..what makes you think that?. Scottish folk listen to all types of music and many various artists come here for live concerts. Yes, you definitely come definitely visit Scotland,you might be surprised 😁

[@garysunshine9643]

IF Mr. Bailey needed a song to showcase his incredible vocals, it would be Fantasy and this song

[@CrowTRobot-ni7zu]

One of the most underrated gems from this excellent group. And one of the songs that I used to perfect my own falsetto.

[@woodyheywood8792]

Phillip Bailey...just magnificent!

[@floorticket]

We were still slow-dancing to this song in the HS gymnasium in '81 as ninth-graders. EWF was timeless.

[@reginaldstyles9549]

Absolutely Amazing Record They Did This Live In 1975 And The Women Screaming All 9 Minutes Was Awesome 👍😎💞💯

[@vision-gc4hy]

Everybody does this version, while us orginals never looked back after the live version came out.

[@TheBlaster54]

I was was 21 years old when this album came out. I Love E.W.&F. These songs remind me of the warm summer nights at the lake with friends. I always enjoyed dancing to their music. I still have every one of their vinyl albums.

[@eileendobbs8009]

Sooo many EWF songs. You're just hitting the tip of the iceberg. For a couple of bangers maybe In The Stone or I Can't Let Go. For a really nice ballad with beautiful harmonies I definitely recommend Imagination.

[@GoldenLady1007]

Yes! Imagination is EXQUISITE! 😮💛

[@haroldtillman6076]

I love that you let the song play without interruptions.

[@russelbarnes7235]

Great song from 1975! I remember listening to this the day of my prom while soaking it all in. Too many great EWF songs to list but. Can't Hide Love, Devotion.Love's Holiday, Evil and Head to the Sky are songs you must get around to reacting to. Great musicality with these guys and great in concert. Maurice White gets the credit for masterminding this group however. Looking forward to more of your reactions to them. EWF and SD are my 2 lifeline groups.

[@hog7203]

Can't Hide Love is one of my favorites.

[@mikekelsey6777]

I am 70 years old. This brings back memories as this was some of the music that I was listening to while dating my gal friend who eventually became my wife. We are together to this day and still listening to Earth Wind & Fire. We did get to see them in concert some years back. So great to see them live.

[@platterjockey]

Sorry everybody, but EWF's best stuff came out before "September" and "Let's Groove". "Reasons" is one of them!

[@sassymess7111]

Agreed 💯

[@williamisenberger1073]

Many of the arrangements during this period were done by Charles Stepney who unfortunately died in the late 70s

[@nancygarreaud1534]

There is a great video of EWF in Japan that I watch every couple of months to make myself happy. Maurice White - genius. And Verdene on the bass. And Bailey of course. Maurice on the kalimba is magical.

[@xJRx77]

You oughta check out their cover of the Beatles "Got to get you into my life"!

[@garfield122010]

Knowing how much you love the musical aspect of songs, you both should listen to The Atlanta Rythm Section singing '' Spooky '' its a groove ❤❤❤

[@VallaMusic]

no doubt it has been mentioned before, but very obvious that Prince was heavily influenced by EWF

[@anotheryoutubeaccount9852]

Yep. EWF & Prince, record a song together - "Super Hero". Obviously great.

[@SanJoseBob]

Nick, the “Live” version, Please! There’s a Sax solo that goes on for 4-5 minutes. It’s just Orgasmic. Just you and your girl dancing by a firelight to this song (live) it’s Love to the Nth degree….. SanJoséBob

[@kategillooly9039]

Agree! The live version is perfection!!

[@rickeylucero3955]

Guys ck the live version. Epic harmonies.

[@COLINWARD-v3y]

So many good songs by EWF ,their music is so uplifting. One of my favourite tracks is off their Faces Album called 'You.'

[@danmayberry1185]

Interesting how higher-pitched male singers were a thing then. Chicago went more with Peter Cetera on lead vocals, as did EWF with Philip Bailey. Randy Meisner hit the high notes on Eagles' One of These Nights, and Roger Hodgson went high on Supertamp hits like Dreamer.

[@MauricioDelaRosa-ue9ut]

Now if only Lex would treat us to her dancing Lets's Groove! Here is a preview 2:45.

[@ronaldross6950]

I have to say that you guys really blowing my mind. I grew up on EW&F. Well, I guess that will tell how old I am. You would be surprised of how many songs they have sung. What is more amazing is that this is a group from the 70's. Now, back then we didn't have what we have today. Now, you look at this all-black male group with their talent and singing and the gift that they brought. Just like one of the comments I read from one, you should have done the live version. Very different from the rest. Please understand, it is not about a black thing, it is about a music thing. So, respect the group truly and check out their history. It is on u-tube. Now, you need to discover all of the other band of the 60's, 70's, and the 80's. I know most of them. There I go telling my age again. GOD bless you all.

[@thunderbolts2438]

I recommend editing and inserting "Love's Holiday" and take off "That's The Way Of The World" as the opener, lol.

[@williamflinchum-qo6ch]

Nice, takes me back, to my teenage year, s, in the 70, s, I was 16 in 1975, I bought all there album, s along with Steely Dan, and Chicago, Doobie bros etc. Those were the day, s. We always,s looked out for our favorite artist next album to come out! Good job guy,s! Clayton

Que gran banda ,instrumentistas formidables ,con grandísima capacidad en voces y coros. Maurice White (RIP) fue gran sello para la banda al igual lo fue con esa enorme falsete de Bailey.. Raisons " uno de mis preferidos éxitos de ellos, otros: Fantasy,September,Boogie W., Devoción, Getaway, System of Survivor, in the Groove, y otros más. Greeting from Chile 🇨🇱 *Muy buena Reaction friends*

[@GWard-hz5wj]

Thanks so much for covering Earth, Wind & Fire. Long time favorite for so many of us. Always on the radio back in the day. Listen to "Love's Holiday" & "Can't Hide Love" really 2 more of their great ballads. Maurice White the creator & leader of the band actually originated in Memphis. His mother remarried & moved with her new Dr. husband to Chicago. Maurice stayed with his grandmother in Memphis til he graduated from high school. Then he left for Chicago to be with his mom & siblings. His new stepdad helped him get in music school there. And then he went on to play in bands, eventually forming Earth, Wind & Fire & the rest is history. He passed away in 2016 from Parrkinsons disease. He was a musical genius & left us with such a great legacy.

[@raiderfan346]

My favorite song from EWF still "Brazilian rhyme".

[@jimled50jl49]

Hi guys, yea I know .. this was 4 days ago. Just doing a bit of catch up. I never got into EWF in my youth ... or later till now really. I am liking what I'm hearing, This track does remind me of Smokey Robinson. Very similar vocals. He was on pop programmes alot from the 60's onwards, with songs like, "Tracks of my Tears" - " Tears of a Clown" - " Being with you " among his many hits. I definitely need to checkout more of EWF and looking at the comments, I think the live version of this is highly recommended. Byee Jim X

[@aodtboss]

Should check out their live album (Gratitude).. Reasons and Devotion are absolute killers!

[@laurakali6522]

Not a bad song in their catalog.

[@jml-rj5re]

Can't Hide Love - cool structure and killer horn hook near the end.

[@rlb2k1]

Great song Reasons! About a one night stand. Written by Maurice White, Charles Stepney, Philip Bailey. 😎

​@@JKonstageI think that's the Ramsey Lewis version . A EWF band member (Larry Dunn) wrote it, but I can't remember which one of their albums it's on.

[@JKonstage]

@@DesL488 I believe it’s all the same version - a collaboration between Ramsey Lewis and EWF. It’s the same version on either album as far as I know. Listen to it and let me know if I’m wrong!

@@JKonstage There are definitely two separate versions. The EWF version off of the Gratitude album is definitely different from RL's on his album.

[@summertime_blooz]

This album was the soundtrack for a movie of the same name according to the sticker on the album cover. Very obscure- I've never seen it available anywhere. Anybody seen it? Before this album EWF was not very well known so a no-budget movie could still afford them.

The mastermind behind EW&F was not Phillip...with all due respect to Phillip. The mastermind was the late MAURICE WHITE. He was the driving force behind EW&F. He was also the lead vocalist on "Can't Hide Love"... "Let's Groove Tonight", and many of their other biggest hits.
