I’m so grateful to have been raised on this music.

[@michelemincey4201]

We are blessed to have grown up in this era. Everything it about was sensational. Music, fashion, cars, clubs and the men looked so good. No raggedy looking scrubs trying to talk to ya. So much class compared to now. They don't know what fun is.

This is what I'm talking about the old Earth Wind & Fire the one with Maurice White and Philip Bailey at the helm in their Primes. It's enough to give you Goosebumps.

[@ipaulosan]

I'll never forget way back when I must have been all of 17 years old back in 77 or 78. I saw these guys at the Inglewood Forum from the 12th row on the floor. To this day the best concert I've ever been to. So grateful to grow up during an era of some of the best music you'll ever hear.

[@robertshugart18]

One of the greatest R&B SINGERS and one of the greatest bands of all time. Maurice White thank you thank you

Earth Wind & Fire was the high-bar. They set a high standard, that no one has yet met.

[@orlandogregory367]

No one can touch them as a group!

[@BrianJohnson-bq9tr]

Simply put.....the greatest band to ever walk the planet.

Gold. If people start making music like this again they would take over the world with music. Pure Gold......

This group changed my whole life❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@davids4385]

Me too. I get emotional seeing a healthy Marice.

[@KJMitchell]

If this isn't best thing musically that GOD ever created I don't know what is. The three elements of the universe. This song is 33 yrs old and it is just as relevant today as it was in 1981. This just set my soul free to hear these GIANTS of music do something that will NEVER be duplicated. EWF then, now and forever.

[@samuelbrown6234]

Every time I hear this song I cry because, life is great. I saw them live when I was 16 years old I'm 64 now

[@olu7116]

Youre right, this song gives me nostalgic tearfulness. Ive watched them over 13 times in the USA, Europe and South America since i was 18. Im now 65 and it still hits me with tears.

[@GameReality]

Peace and Love from Sweden.....

[@dianaguadagnino5410]

I am 64 as well. Only saw them live once. I don't think they came to Pittsburgh very often. Or I just wasn't able to go when they were. However, still the best R&B of my lifetime.

[@AnnaMariaConcina-ui2gq]

Me too! I'm 64

[@LMH61]

never saw them live---you were blessed. thank god for youtube :) where the he** is music like this anymore....

[@tibbysue7341]

I do not believe that there will be another band like EWF. I am almost 70 years old, and without going into divisive details, I can say that in the 1970’s, we all thought racial equality was in our grasp. Almost 50 years on, I am heartsick.

[@BA-mv8pp]

Me too

[@bigant608]

Never, and that's good because nobody seems worthy. They don't do music like this anymore. Let's let the best remain as such

[@ronniebailey5852]

unfortunately evil people prefer to keep the racial divide, it suits their depraved agenda

Blessings to you, at 35 I’m sure that was a feeling my generation will never experience 💯

[@sthpac69]

Nope, they sure don't. i can name one new black band of 10 years old, not one. i really do believe that the industry controls what black people hear, because their are many local bands that are very very good like EWF.

[@francishodge5189]

This classic 70s Soul funk track by the legendary Earth Wind and Fire The way of the world even in 2024 is a timeless masterpiece

[@mueninzioka1187]

I'm of this generation and this music never gets old. It is timeless 4ever.

[@CheyenneEdmonson]

Absolutely

[@AfrodityJones]

This band has influenced me since my parents introduced them to me! Verdine inspired me to start bass lessons, Maurice taught me to tap into the spiritual side of music and Phillip taught me how to groove.

[@F_Evans]

A Earth Wind and Fire concert is the best party you will ever go to in your life!!!

[@mariamyers8108]

LOVE Earth Wind and that EVERLASTING FIRE!! I MISS YOU SO MUCHO!

[@Jersey.D3vil201]

I was born in the '70s, but I'm envious of those who were teens and adults during that time because there was so many outstanding musicians and performers. They say the golden era of hip hop was during the '90s (which was my coming of age), but I think the '70s was the golden era for RnB.

[@sandradib1030]

Same here

[@ericdavis6261]

i was 13 at the time. music back then was magical.

[@Themaddprof]

It was. The producers got cheap in the early 80s and with synthesizers and voice enhancers, they didn't have to pay big bands and real talent like EW&F.

[@robertromero2928]

The World will always miss Maurice White, here he is in his prime, A spectacular time in Music History. Thanks for posting this video that everybody should injoy the peace and love of EWF...... Definitely a all time live performance....RIP Maurice White.. Forever Missed

One of my favorite group. This never gets old.❤

[@kag5381]

LOVE THIS MESSAGE AND SONG!!! Maurice White was truly a genius and Buddha of his time. If you've ever listened to the lyrics of this song, "That's The Way Of The World", and you agree with them, then you're a card carrying liberal/progressive and you need not be made to feel ashamed that you possess a heart of gold. This song says, "...a child is born, with a heart of gold. Way of the world makes his heart grow cold." If that's not a belief in the inherent goodness of man vs the belief that man is inherently evil or bad, nothing will convince you. Man is good...it's the conditions he has to navigate that effects his choices that often plays into his choices that we never see. Yet we still judge. Be blessed...all of you!

[@t.s.t.4085]

Awww Baby, it was NEVER that simple--even back then. People were good even then. They truly were. AND, there was bad. Let's love ALL of US even now.

[@Egor-xb7ii]

Ага, особенно нацики добрые. И Нетаньяху очень добрый. Мусульмане, которые почти каждую неделю кого то убивают если не за короткие шорты, так за просмотр футбола, - тоже очень добрые. Твари, снабжающие нацистов оружием, тоже оченб добрые.

[@cosmo1578]

[@markginsel4238]

Had the honor of going to a EW&F concert last year. Verdine White is one of the greatest bass players in history. Phil Bailey greatest pipes. It literally changed my life.

[@SoundScientist1]

Verdine is undoubtedly a fabulous showman, but there's some question about whether Louis Satterfield actually performed bass on these recordings.

[@markginsel4238]

@@SoundScientist1 Seriously? WOW! Never knew that. So was it possible Verdine was was fake playing at that concert? Not doubting you. Just curious.

[@SoundScientist1]

@@markginsel4238. Verdine undoubtedly knows the EWF tunes really well at this point. So, I candidly don't know if there's a recorded bass track playing at concerts (or if the keyboardists help him on synth bass). The way this whole thing apparently developed is that there are a few recorded situations where Verdine made appearances with other top bassists (of our era) at jam sessions & master classes. In multiple instances, other well known bassists were quite skillfully showing off their mastery & artistry on the bass, while Verdine was fumbling & essentially sounded like a HS level bassist. I get the impression that it prompted folks in the "bass world" to start looking at Verdine a little funny. Here's one such appearance...

[@caraharpole2088]

Won tickets to see them in concert in California (Orange County). I will never forget it. My favorite band of all time. Reminds me of my childhood. Philip Bailey has the most smoothest beauty voice. Maurice White and Bailey's voice is in perfect synergy. When I read people say they are in tears watching this, I know exactly what they mean. The music from this era was so unique, awesome, and American treasure, and if you are old enough to remember, you'd realize what we have lost. Google bands from that era (and slightly earlier) like Sly and The Family Stone, and the Ohio Players, Parliament-Funkadelic, The Isley Brothers and be amazed.

[@BigNice001]

This absolutely could not have been performed better!

[@ncewatchdogs924]

World class singing, world class lyrics, and world class musicians that unfortunately, due to the way music is processed these days, this much talent will never come together again on one stage. I have a 7 year old little girl that loves this music - over 3 decades later and they are still relevant!

[@bootsy7]

I never and I mean never miss an Earth Wind and fire concert when they came to Indianapolis i must have seen them at least 15 times. They could sing they all were outstanding musicians and most of all their music had meaning. The greatest group ever.

[@ELIOSANFELIU]

Maurice White and his friends have changed the history of music¡¡

[@mickeydogtube]

In my opinion, what happened to the Black music scene is about where it came out of back then and where it comes from now. The difference is the Motown era talent came mostly out of the Black churches. Much of the new talent in the Black entertainment community comes out of the hood. There's a big difference in personal experience there and not for the good. Instead of expecting excellence as Barry Gordy did, the new talent agents accepted mediocrity and that's how we got where we are today.

My favorite song of all time! ❤

[@doobiebro76]

Where did the 70's go?? Earth,Wind& Fire, you are the light when the music is in a slump.The IPod has a effect on the music that makes me get my groove on.I love you guys.Your music is never old school.It has been and always will be fresh.
