To me they are the greatest band, ever. As an aside, the gentleman playing the Sax is Don Myrick, who was tragically killed by cops in the 80’s (somebody check me) when they went to his home and he answered the door holding a gun shaped lighter, or so the story goes. He was a HUGE talent. Listen to EWF’s “Runnin’” a Grammy-winning composition/performance that features Myrick.

One of my favorite love songs of all time. It came out when I was in 10th grade. High School memories. I have to say, I've never seen this version/video. It's a little chopped up. I like the original off the album and another live version but don't know from where they played it or what year. You could hear all the girls screaming on that version from the very beginning. I saw them in concert in 1978. Really great show.
