OMG THESE GUYS CAN BOOGIE!!! EARTH WIND & FIRE - BOOGIE WONDERLAND (REACTION)

[@surlechapeau]

Shawn & Mel, you'll love their "September", "Shining Star" and "Fantasy"!!!! One of the great bands that makes use of horns!

[@breckrichardson390]

Yes!

[@annaguera4841]

"Shining Star" is a good one..but I LOVE "Fantasy!" Actually, I think in general their entire catalog is above most of the competition when it comes to bands and musical arrangement. Anybody who appreciates "good music"..and the "magic" of combining instruments played by talented musicians along with the "human instrument" of gifted vocals. They're the best hands down when it comes to that!

[@christineobrien7707]

I saw these guys @15 years ago in concert. The audience weren't in their seats for 95% of the show! One of the best groups I've ever seen perform! Can you say ENERGY??!👍

[@stevemariman8769]

The Emotions (3 women) are singin' with Earth, Wind, & Fire on this one. Lotsa radio hits from E, W, & F..."Shining Star" "Getaway" "That's the Way Of the World" "September" "After the Love Has Gone" "Let's Groove Tonight" "Sing a Song" "Got To Get You Into My Life"(a great Beatles' cover), and The Emotions hit big with "Best Of My Love"

[@ouchouch7887]

And the horn section was phoenix horns which also played with Phil Collins

[@bigb6046]

[@robmorrison1043]

Maurice did the lead vocals on September. Philip shows his vocals on Reasons, Fantasy, Star, and on many others. His high falsetto is prominent on most of the backing vocals and several lead vocals of EW&F songs. Im amazed hiw anyone into music has not heard or listened to EW&F. While a great song, this is not the best song to start with when discovering Maurice and EW&F. Start with Thats the way of the world and further back. They were about musical sophistication, uplifting their culture and spreading understanding amongst all races and religions. Maurice White was a musical genius and EW&F were the R&B equivalent of the Beatles.

[@sharonmincey6023]

Too really hear his range..listen to Keep Your Head To The Sky.

[@Lovejazz01]

The title of this video should read “ Boogie Wonderland - Earth, Wind, & Fire featuring The Emotions “ , two legendary groups in R&B, Soul, and Funk music history. The Emotions two album projects at the time were produced by Earth, Wind and Fire, so it was no surprise to see them do a song together , and it was a monster Disco Era hit!

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

No disco was complete without Earth, Wind and Fire! You cannot Not move, it's impossible 🕺💃

[@pamelawertz498]

Oh my God y'all just found a rabbit hole you are going to LOVE! Earth Wind & Fire are the definition of good energy, good music! I say you gotta do Fantasy next. Like tomorrow. No, today!

The Emotions are the ladies singing..they have some great tunes on their own.

[@lutherbrice1316]

Did I hear you say you've never reacted to EWF? If that's true then you're in for a ride. They were the premier band of the 70's, # 1 hits all over the place. They were led by Maurice White (RIP) and Phillip Bailey. The women are The Emotions, a top female singing group in their own right. EWF has one of the most extensive music catalogs blending smooth slow jams and/or funky dance music. React to the songs: All about love, led by Maurice White, or Imagination, led by Philip Bailey. You won't be dissatisfied.

[@bigsteve9279]

👍I forgot who the females were on this record… Love it 🥰

[@samaduampoma2449]

Luther brice: are you as surprised as I am, that they have not heard of EW&F?! Regardless of the generation they were born in? That hurts! LoL! I saw another reaction video the other day (by a different person), and they had never heard of Stevie Wonder! I nearly fell off my chair! I would like to know what you think. Quite frankly, I was shocked to hear they had never reacted/heard of EW&F. Enjoy! Cheers, Sam.

Earth, Wind & Fire is still performing. I saw them with Chicago in 2016 and they still put on a hell of a show! The man in the dark clothes is Philip Bailey and he has such a strong voice although I only heard bits of it here. His son has joined the group too. Their shows have always been huge productions.

[@carlbaker7242]

This is a rabbit hole you guys need to explore. I graduated from high school in 1980. Earth, Wind & Fire were a staple in my high school days. Used to listen to them in the car on an eight track. I just age myself. I’m so glad that you’ve discovered them. They are an amazing band and they never get old. The gentleman with the high voice. His name is Philip Bailey. He has a duet with Phil Collins (In the Air Tonight). You might want to check that out. The name of the song is Easy Lover.

Maurice White , the lead singer is no longer with us, a great loss..RIP Maurice. Philip Bailey, the guy with the falsetto had a massive hit with Phil Collins called " Easy Lover", you should check that out too.

[@voxandlocks]

Actually EWF is a funk/jazz/soul band that (like every other artist signed to a major label in 1979) included some disco songs on an album. The biggest hit single from this album was the ballad "After The Love Has Gone". And yes, they are still touring.

[@sueprator9314]

DISCO??? They were so much more than Disco. Yes they came out in that era but their costumes were cosmic new age vibe bringing messages of HARMONY AND LOVE TO HUMANITY. Yes they did "disco" numbers like this...but that WAS A SMALL SAMPLING OF THEIR OTHER SONGS THAT CARRIED DEEP MESSAGES OF HARMONY AND LOVE LIFTING HUMANITY TO A HIGHER VIBE. THEY TOOK US TO THE SKIES WITH THEIR MUSIC. Read up on what Maurice's original intention was with the name of the Group and what he intended to achieve with their music.

[@michaellazzeri2069]
