Earth, Wind & Fire - Serpentine Fire (Official Video)

[@MadMan731]

One of the finest bands to ever exist!

[@Hajj1718]

Pure soulful happiness. These brothers were just different! I listen almost everyday!

[@DimitriClarknnn]

This is the song I listen to when I am low in my spirit, and I have to battle demons. The drum break and this song give me Pure Power since '77. The whole Album is the gospel.

Maurice White Legend, Icon, Genius, Mover, Shaker, Singer, Song writer, composer, producer, Leader, Master, trail blazer, and last but not least founder of the baddest musical group ever created Earth Wind and Fire!!! Without Maurice White there would be no Earth Wind and Fire, so I am very grateful and so thankful for all of the great music and memories Maurice White and Earth Wind and Fire has given me for so many years. I am a child of the seventies and I grew up on Earth Wind and Fire and seen them in concert when Maurice was touring with the group and when Maurice had to stop touring because of Parkinson disease. Earth Wind and Fire is to me the all time best musical group to have ever been assembled thanks to genius and creativity of the legendary iconic Maurice White. RIP Maurice White!!!! You are truly a shining star shining in heaven with the rest of the shining stars. Your contributions to music will never be forgotten!!!!!

RIP Maurice and fly high. We will never see the like again. The talent, vocals, bass, Phoenix Horns, funky-azz threads, dancing and the sheer joy EWF shows in this video and their music are gifts we should appreciate.

[@kellyhoward6941]

I was at their '77 concert in Cinci...still one of the best memories I have. Everybody went completely nuts when they came out of the pyramid (that was lowered out of the ceiling) & then it got so far beyond good it was sublime! I want a time machine so I can have that experience again. This song & "September" also have proved over the last decades that car windows do not break from sound....

Maurice White, rest in power dearest brotha. Praise be to The Most High for giving us you. and your musical gifts that you blessed upon the world. This is one of my favorite songs by E W F and hands down my favorite video by them. As a young cat I would rewind the VHS @ 2:29-2:50, then came the DVD & now the stream and laugh over and over at these brothas completely absorbed in their craft. Loving every minute of it, not giving a damn about sweating out of those hot ass outfits or displaying outrageous facial gestures...just real people, real musicians, making real memories for the masses. ...again, thank you. thank you, thank you.

[@michelle67451]

This is definately one of my all time favorite songs by Earth Wind and fire. I was just jamming to one of my Earth Wind and fire CD's and I kept playing this song over and over!!! Love me some Earth Wind and Fire!!!! Now this is what real true music is all about!!!! Serpentine fire has that african feel and vibe going on, like right outta the mother land!!! Love this song. Such an african vibe and feel to it!!! Love Maurice's and Philip Bailey's energy in this video and song. You can see the true friendship with Maurice and Philip in this video!!! RIP Maurice White. Definately a true legend and Icon that gave so much to the music industry!!! So happy to see the Grammy's presenting Earth Wind and Fire with a lifetime achievement award. Its just so sad Maurice White passed away before receiving this award!!!!

RIP Maurice White. There will never be another band quite like EWF. Gratitude was one of the first 2 albums I ever bought with my own money in my youth. Still one of my faves to this day...and you really can't go wrong with any 70's or early 80's EWF.

"Serpentine Fire" is co-written by Maurice White, Reginald "Sonny" Burke, and Verdine White. My take on the title of the album All ‘N All is that it comes from I Corinthians 15:28 (KJV) “And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” May Maurice White and Reginald "Sonny" Burke rest in eternal peace.

[@lizard944]

Kelvin Hardy Unfortunately, what you see is not what you get. This video has the soundtrack directly from their album, synched up with some concert. The horns that you are hearing in this video are actually EW&F studio musicians called the "Seawind Horns," with Jerry Hey and Bill Reichenbach. They arranged and played on 90% of EW&F, Michael Jackson, and others. They are White guys and probably weren't jumping around like this during the recording....haha.

@@lizard944 Maybe it was a video session where they are singing to the studio track rather than a concert. Unless they were using click tracks in concert, tempos are never identical. Also, can you give me the source for Seawind as the horn section for this track? Wiki has a listing of all personnel on the album All 'n All that has neither Jerry Hey or Bill Reichenbach listed.
