No words or a million words can describe the voice of Phillip Bailey. No voice like Phillip Bailey's. No group like Earth Wind and Fire.

[@glennjthompson332]

He's greater and any sounds of the heavens above!😄🙏📿

[@rogercook8277]

Earth Wind & Fire had everything thing a band should have. Vocals, outstanding musicians, talented songwriters and the list goes on. I don't think there will ever be a band of there caiber again in this life time.

[@robinjackson8554]

Philip Bailey is an extraordinary talent, one of the greatest vocalist of my generation!

[@BenHall-ku5ov]

Philip is an amazing triple threat musician . He always receives a standing ovation from me at EWF concerts, and other productions i.e David Foster! Moreover, Philip’s compassion , with his commitment to his music is unity foundation! Offers as much beauty as his tremendous artistic abilities!

[@Raycyn627]

One of the best vocalists of all time

[@nathanieldavis5231]

I am a drummer with a good strong falsetto , Phillip can go higher , unbelievable, my friends and family are impressed with the power and range of my voice , all I can say is ," I lived in the time of Phillip the Great" !!!!

[@yolanda9504]

Philip vocals are phenomenal he can definitely hits those notes he is definitely legendary and so was Maurice White and Earth, Wind and Fire a legend group.

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

Philip Bailey's vocals are the signature sound of Earth, Wind, and Fire. The first time I heard him sing live. I said to myself, "Wow, he can do it live and sound like the recording!"

[@lindarobinson1004]

I always was enamored by Philip's vocal range!!!! It's beautiful!!!!

[@MasterKhem]

My fave Phillip lead vocal is on "I'll Write A Song For You." My Mother used to cry happy tears to that song!! Got us through some tough times.

[@darylemurray5048]

[@TracyAllenVideos]

I got goosebumps when I saw the album cover… The one with the pyramid 😆 But I remember buying that and just loving all of the music! Philip Bailey… Earth Wind and Fire… “Thank you!“🙌🥰💐

[@karenbrown9891]

Philip's voice is an outstanding gift. I never heard a voice like his.

[@twistoffate4791]

I always thought Philip was a female singing because back in the day, no one knew. All we had access to was sound. When more technology became available, I went into shock to learn it had been a man singing those lyrics in that range the whole time! He's extremely impressive. Just an amazing human being.

[@btinsley1]

Philip Bailey is a stunningly gifted vocalist! May God continue to bless him. ❤

Philip Bailey is the sound of soul of the 70s and 80s. Nothing like him.

[@luthandob]

The greatest falsetto I ever heard. Easy lover song is the best for me. The dance moves on that video making a video always make me excited.

I love Earth, Wind, And Fire! I remember hearing there music when I was a child and getting goosebumps. I still get goosebumps and that great feeling that pure music from the soul gives you. I am so thankful and blessed that my parents was playing this music in our home. Their impact on music is so wide ranging and you can see their impact on Hip Hop with Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Roots, all the way to Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

"Children of the Ghetto" is a Masterpiece . . . along with "Reasons" (among many others) he is one of the Greatest R&B male vocalists ever. oNe LovE from NYC

[@Notorious_G.O.D_76]

When we think of high pitched note legend....we think of "Eddie Kendricks" of "The Temptations"....But what if I was tell you it was one man that also had that pitch just ad perfected....that was "Phillip Bailey". "Fantasy" has to be my all time favorite song that "Phillip" utilize his high note pitch.....He is certainly the greatest singers of any time..... 🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤

[@Dj.beast_]

Him and my father Sheldon Reynolds singing lead next to each other on tour KILLING IT

[@scentedflowers5310]

RIP Mr Sheldon Reynolds…such a talent❤

[@Beautyrest575]

Why did your father die so young? I hope you don’t mind me asking!

[@MarlinHowell]

Another bad mamma jamma! My high school was just like a school for the arts. People singing in the hallways in all high pitch fascetto ranges. Everyone back then had to sing in high ranges! That was the thang and Phillip Bailey was the one we all modeled after. Beautiful high pitch voice with the song, "Keep Your Head To The Sky." Every one used to sing that song practicing the highest ranges of Phillip Baileys riffs. Definitely one of my inspirations for singing in high fascetto! The group EW&F was and still is a beautiful group with positive music and lyrics!

[@johnb1997]

I just saw EARTH,WIND & FIRE in person for first time in Houston,TX at Toyota Center. And yes Philip Bailey can still hit those High Notes and sustain them effortlessly!

[@missvida6251]

Based on this video, he grew up with a great life! Many blessings to him and his family! One of my favorite male vocalists!❤

[@carollewis2174]

Yes, indeed. EWF--is my favorite group too!! Maurice White and Phillip Bailey were a powerful duo!! Musical Magic. They touched the world!! What a beautiful powerhouse!! They speak to your soul!! ❤❤❤❤EWF, fan forever !!!

[@kevinsturges6957]

Phillip Bailey was incredible on the 1980’s Prog Rock album “Smallcreeps Day”. Hired as the lead singer by Bassist Michael Rutherford of Genesis. A forgotten gem. One of my favorite Prog Albums. It could have easily have been the next Genesis album after “And Then There Were Three”. Please check it out if you can find it.

[@andrethompson6857]

you are so right. thanks for turning me on to this

Mr. Philip Bailey is truly God's gift to the world. The angels must have said hey God let's give his this baby boy this high pitch beautiful voice so the world will listen. God smiled and let's give him the voice. God smiled as he looked to and blessed him with one of the most beautiful voices for the world to hear. Philip Bailey is a gifted singer, musician, producer & song writer. He reached the stars and they smiled when he sings. 🎵

Love the singer, particularly "I Know," and the group. Thank you.

[@valerie4501]

I loved EWF since the mid-seventies, however once their music began to become more mainstream by the early 80's, their R&B sound changed dramatically to a more POP sound (songs like September, Let's Groove Tonight, and Philip Bailey's duet Easy Lover, with Pop singer Phil Collins, 😤, Earth,Wind&Fire's career was coming to end, and despite Philip Bailey's dynamic 💥💯 Falsetto range 🥰🌟 for those of you who are true R&B music fans, there are so many more dynamic 💥 💯 BLACK male FALSETTO 's especially from the 70's with the ranges that were equal or even better than Philip Bailey's, however most of these powerhouse male FALSETTOS were the LEAD VOCALISTS of their perspective singing groups, the Stylistics, Enchantment, Delphonics, and so many more to mention 🥰, i loved their music unconditionally!!!!

[@markmorris8532]

Their career, coming to an end? What?!😅

[@Dee-vz3ew]

I love that duet he did with Phil Collins. I remember hearing it on the radio when I was probably 3 or 4 years old ❤

Phillip Bailey and Andrae Crouch singing together on a song called I GOT THE BEST is a great song but because its gospel the dumb world SLEPT ON IT

[@michaelmitchell5098]

That is the voice that topped Eddie Kendricks. The only voice.

[@cordellsenior9935]

Unbelievably, he replaced the late, great Eddie Kendricks as my all time favorite falsetto guy. In the early 70s, I called him "Eddie 2.0", but surpassed and exceeded the historical marks Eddie (and even Smokey) made. He's "Eddie 3.0! He's the greatest.
