FIRST TIME HEARING Earth, Wind & Fire - Love's Holiday Reaction

[@TheDivayenta]

EWF are one of the most musically gifted bands ever!!!

[@donnatwitty5000]

Elements of the Universe

[@lutherbrice1316]

Maurice White's voice was amazing. Rest In Peace!!

[@dcaseng]

You should dedicate a straight week to Earth Wind and Fire. There are too many great songs in their library.

[@peterhudgens8817]

BET!!!

[@rik4369]

True indeed. Many never made to Top " whatever" list but we in the hoods knew every lyric of each song. We use their album covers as our Wall Art. I remember trying cut one up and putting it in a frame. Please do a week of their music!

[@TheMarnaiz]

Ironically, Maurice White - who in my opinion had one of the most beautiful voices - never wanted to be the lead singer as he was quite a shy person. All of their music was about love and understanding. My fave band of all time and I still have all of those beautiful albums! It's great to see young folk appreciating and loving these great musicians too!

[@oRuTRa45]

Indeed. And to think, he went from being a shy drummer who sometimes barely spoke above a whisper to the lead vocalist (and drummer/percussionist) and mastermind of the world's greatest band. It surely must've made Ramsey proud to see his former drummer blossom like that. May Ramsey Lewis rest in peace as well.

[@bennyrobles9194]

It feels so good to see the younger generation play our music, and loving it.!

[@zinarhone7642]

EWF were the truth tellers of our generation. You always felt as if you were privy to a level of guarded and valued wisdom just for listening to them. Their vibe was always mellow ...the elements were Zen! Please react to Be Ever Wonderful!

[@cathyreed6723]

YES - "Be Ever Wonderful"!!! (And, I agree w/your comment😊)!

[@clubhead433]

I cry every time I hear Be Ever Wonderful and I'll Write A Song For You. I have to be in the right spirit to listen to these. They just pull hard on my heart.

"SMOOTH AS BUTTER." YES SIR!! Great reaction.

[@peterhudgens8817]

Simply a beautiful jam by The Elements! Thank you so much for your appreciation and respect for all of these beautiful r&b cuts.

[@mulatanyc865]

Earth Wind & Fire alway had great songs that are timeless & priceless. Those Vocals those horns the beat the melody breathless!! No wonder they still perform!

[@zziicckk01]

Maurice White (RIP) had such a soulful voice. He is on my top 5 vocalists of all time. Thank you for the reaction.

[@anthonyleggette261]

It's the nuances, my Brother! You're listening when you can pick out the nuances in music. You seem to have that ear. Keep on listening, Young Man.

[@reneemixon3994]

One of Steve Bubblehead Harvey's favorite song of all time. Here's another forgotten treat by them "On Your Face".

[@cathyreed6723]

They were always intentional what they sang about - glad you're getting to experience their genius!!!😊

[@noizynaybah5827]

@just jammim.... also.. Don't forget this.. In reference to what you said about the details in the music... They were like 10 to 12 members. Including the horn section which was three members..... Every instrument you here is someone different playing it... all at the same time... First... You had the rehearsals so many months before you went into the studio because time is money... Once you get into the studio .. And cut the album back then that would take a whole year... Then you got to come up with a show format... rehearse every song for the tour... This could take months back then... And then you finally went on tour... Then you were on tour for 2 and 3 years... That's how great the music was...

[@chilezp]

Now it’s microwave music

[@robmorrison1043]

Maurice and EW&F are the Beatles of R&B music. We will never see or hear this type of musical sophistication and musicality again!!!

[@marshagreen9759]

You are right (smooth as butter). Their performance kept you glued to the tv or the stage. I love this group.

[@stanleygontha1407]

If I had gotten a dollar for each time I sang along with this one.....

[@edwardwilliams2438]

In the Websters Dictionary.....definition of Band...was followed by EWF!! In the studio or Live...this was just Stellar. And the stage presence and fashions...they were just mind blowing!!

[@New_Czar]

Perhaps my favorite EWF song…I wore this song out back in junior high school.

[@terencewalker9215]

"THE GREATEST BAND EVER"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤

[@michaelking2038]

Yesssss! The great great Maurice White on lead vocal. A 'STONE CLASSIC.'

[@valdannfamr.2430]

Thank you for reacting and loving this beautiful song❣ Love's Holiday will always be one of my top EWF's faves❣ reminder of the 70's🤩

[@rik4369]

Another great selection. That Brass Section sometimes get lossed due to all the other talent on that stage. Take a look at the Boogie Wonderland Video. One of the greatest live performance EVER! Add the most underrated " Emotions" a d you have some of the greatest unscripted FUNK every performed. Additionally, all the performers were having pure blast performing! Great selection again . Maurice " Reece" was the Conductor next to NO ONE. Your understanding of the small details is nice to see out here. Again , thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@lepoetress]

This is STILL the cut!!! So many babies were made from their parents having a romantic interlude with this in the background.

[@Mary_305]

EWF unstoppable! They have hits after hits . 🎶🎼🎤😍

[@MzBettyK]

There’s so much to enjoy in this amazingly beautiful piece of music. 🎶 Great reaction.

[@5grandz4me]

I'm a new subscriber to your channel. A senior citizen grandmother who had this music as the soundtrack of my teens and twenties. Love your appreciation of this era of music, the musicality, the message, the purity of the sound and its lyrics. I especially like your calm personality and the fact that I can listen to your critiques without cringing anticipating that an "f" bomb may drop. Keep up the great work!

[@lamethalewis6337]

Babies were made from this track, guarantee!!! Grown folk bizness!!

[@jaysonbiggs8979]

I first came across EWF in 1972-73. I guess I've taken them for granted since then. Your channel has rekindled my interest. Growing up in the 1960's and '70's I guess a lot of us took very good Pop, Rock and R&B for granted.

[@kevc21]

As a teen in the 70s, where I lived, EWF wasn't talked about much. I bought their albums because they were black like me. I listen on my headphones, every track a zillion times. I thought my love for them was just personal. Then I went to college in 1978, and met some other brothas, who loved them as much, or more than I did. They'd even gone to their concerts. I'd not been to any concerts in high school. EWF concerts were AMAZING 👏! What a band! Glad I discovered them as a young teen.

[@petracampbell2907]

This is sublime. It reminds me of the best things in life. Love you, Maurice. Rest in Peace.

[@tammyc259]

You are just tipping the iceberg of their music collection with this jam young man! Great reaction!👍

The Greatest Band/Group Ever

[@zendivasmadness2156]

Their live shows were absolutely phenomenal; a visual & audio spectacular! I had the pleasure of attending two back in the early eighties. I was forever changed.

[@blackbutterfly638]

To be a true EWF fan you have to know this song and sing it all the way, from beginning to end.

[@zylershaw25]

Earth Wind and Fire- “Can’t let go” or “got to get you into my life” next !!

[@zanohoriamazo1]

I believe Steve Harvey had this song played in Kings of Comedy, shining light on what you said, ‘ They don’t make’ em like this, real music. And THAT was over 12 yrs ago. But on the real side, thas why an artist like Bruno is important. He’s a little guy of mixed heritage, totally dialed into the soul sound & live instruments, but he too is a drummer, like Maurice White, Stevie, Uncle Charlie Wilson of Gap band, Prince, even Justins Bieber & Timberlake. That’s how they get to THAT level of what you call production: Musicianship with deep sound vision. Some of the most successful producers connected to young generations of music over last 30 yrs have that in their favor, like Pharrell, Rodney Jerkins, Teddy Riley, Jermaine Dupree, to name a few. They know their way around that keyboard, melody, harmony, as WELL as the technology.

[@chiplandry2594]

Would you mind if I suggest "Be Ever Wonderful" (closing song from this album). It will change your life. ☺️

[@aprilsnider75]

That song saved me from suicide. It is EVERYTHING to me

[@plmitch]

Such a beautiful song. I love it when there’s a message in the music.

"Yet another..." Exactly. EWF new albums were like Christmas morning as an 8 year old.

Never can go wrong wirh EWF....KEEP THOSE CLASSICS COMING....you on a roll today.....this week i must say has been the best week since ive been a suscriber.....you are hitting most of the decades and for the most part you are getting the CLASSICS

[@TaylorMadeCori]

Even their interludes are fire. EVEN. THEIR. INTERLUDES. Check out "Hey Girl". It is only about 30 seconds...and you will be MAD at how short it is...

[@oRuTRa45]

Great flute work by the late Andrew Woolfolk. May he continue to rest in peace.

[@teef6896]

You gotta do a reaction to “ imagination”.

[@oRuTRa45]

CO-SIGN!

[@eileendobbs8009]

Probably my 2nd favorite EWF ballad. Imagination is my favorite. I mean just how great is this group?! Maurice White was a genius. If you want to hear his roots check out Brazilica by Ramsey Lewis. White played drums for him (timbales & kalimba). He produced that album for Ramsey Lewis. You can hear the beginnings of EWF on that track

[@kenperk9854]

LOVE goes ON is even BETTER!!! IF you can believe that!

[@PS-ef8qk]

Excellent review. And yes...... EW&F was/is the best!!! Check out "I'd Rather Have You" and "Gratitude", if you haven't done so already!

[@ElfinMadness]

Visceral man. I sometimes see colors and textures. Rest in Heaven Mr. Maurice White. ❤️

[@fancy4865]

I remember being in a Chicago club slow walking to this song...one of their best!!!

Maurice was every bit as great as Phillip. That’s what made them so great

[@flynntaylor5459]

Stokley from mint condition does an incredible cover of this jam. But he also flipped the script by saying in the Lyrica til Your satisfied. All concentration on her not himself. I love that. Stokley can hold this song so so effortlessly 😭 make me cry.

[@mr.goodenough3796]

Earth Wind and Fire are always great, and the positive vibes, uplifting , and I like that.

[@jaylawilliams8181]

100% agree about hearing the small details in music.. I don’t try to catch every little thing on purpose but it just happens lol I can say though that I believe it’s the reason why I appreciate music in such a major way 💯

Later on when they sang this song live, they changed the lyrics from "make love to you until I'm satisfied" to "make love to you until YOU'RE satisfied." Different times I guess.

[@Truthteller58]

The songs you've listened to are some of my favorites at that time, and its great to hear them again: when you have time for reacting my favorite from EWF was "Reasons"; others you should listen to also= Rose Royce "Wish Upon A Star ; Billy Paul "Me & Mrs. Jones"; Carl Carlton "Everlasting Love"; LTD "We Both Deserve Eachothers Love" just a hew. Thanks for your reaction, I appreciate newer generations to appreciate past great songs.

Earth Wind & Fire: Wanna be with you. Also song: You

[@SumumbaSobukwe]

Ok bruh...you on to some great music...I'm writing a book largely on culture and this is part of it... As we explore music particularly hip hop as part of CULTURE I found this excerpt on point.... please..I kinda skipped featuring a folk artist and although I find Drake very talented I'd still call him a pop artist ...but we can debate that another time...😎 “It’s not about celebrating achievement by terms of popular success” says Murray, finessing the point. ‘’It is defining form as fine art.” Murray then theorizes that there are three legitimate art categories. He uses food as his allegory. Folk Art is a gumbo made with a smidgen of this, a pinch of that. It is difficult in one part of the landscape than another. It’s provincial, largely inexportable, the crudest way of forming an aesthetic statement. It’s peasant art, but not primitive or savage. It is sincere (Hongry? Let us fix you something good to eat). It can move you to goose bumps, but it has the smallest range. Pop Art is a McDonald’s hamburger. It has a broader range, but it is much cheapened, self-indulgent, opportunistic (Hungry? Here’s something to eat. It’s only $1), insincere, unfulfilling. Fine Art is, say, Chateaubriand, or American Thanksgiving roasted turkey dinner with the trimmings. It has the greatest range, the greatest control of the aesthetic statement, and it sharpens the perception of audience, viewer, reader, consumer. “We’re trying to conserve our consciousness,” Murray says. “You can’t embrace chaos, And that’s what out there right now. But the dragon is what evokes heroic action. The greater irony is this: It is the dragon-be it slavery, entropy, white supremacy, whatever -it is the dragon that influences you to heroic action.” Albert Murray As told to Ralph Wiley From his Wiley's book Dark Witness (When Black People should be sacrificed again)

[@ossier2796]

Love Anything Earth Wind and Fire

[@jaysonbiggs8979]

Released in 1978. The height of their WORLDWIDE populaity. Maurice said he thought this was thier best album. Their populartrity took a steep nosedown beginning in the mid 1980's due to the rapid ascendancy of Rap and Hip Hop. Which they had little to no interest in. Then and now.

[@creamone]

This song leaves me speechless

You mentioned details. Maurice White was a musical genius.

[@babygirldustin8876]

Not that Loves Holiday ever needed help, this song is one of the best, smoothest, love song ever, but Steve Harvey repopulized it with the younger crowd by playing it in his act in Kings of Comedy, hey however we can get the youth, such as yourself appreciating classic soul. 💞

[@johnm7459]

Try Blood Brothers or Chi Town (Chicago Blues) from the Millennium Album their genius is unlimited
