Performing Reasons and Let's Groove with acceptance speech.

[@KingReyhanShippey]

My boy Steve Harvey did that induction Right!!!!!!

[@feliciasanders2066]

That's his favorite band and jokingly considers himself a member of the group.

[@marystuart9527]

Reyhan Shippey yes he surely did that

[@p4u7y]

[@melanielazare9]

Finally

[@alonzojneloms8765]

Mr. White and Mr. Bailey! EWF! They had the best band on every level! Yeah!

[@sheldontunes1]

I always amazed me how they were always able to blend the vocals with the instruments without a break. It was seamless. The voice would go out and the instrument would come in then they would reverse it. THE GREATEST BAND EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!

[@kwilcox1126]

Sheldon Maycock just pure professionalism

[@jesushateswood]

Maurice White had one of the most unique voices I have ever heard. One of the Best.

[@AllanCash]

Unmistakable voice of Maurice White

[@NKLnDime]

I still cry and mourn for Maurice. One of my wishes had always been to just sit down and have a conversation with him about music and life.

[@beachkinge.n.t7604]

[@seddrock]

Me too, I would have love to have a conversation with him

[@agochoa]

These guys are from a time when 10 guys on stage would PERFORM and they ALL each had talent. Unlike today.

[@stephaniecrumpton2133]

Yesss so true

Agochoa, you told the absolute truth! I can't tell you how much I'm loving this tribute in October 2022!

[@roseabbatino1838]

Always a joy to see MAURICE WHITE and hear his voice. EWF forever

[@dwalker112]

[@geman61]

[@janiedoman9336]

Will never be another band like theses men ever. Best band ever. Love them

[@carla681]

I almost cried when Maurice came out.

[@808kiker]

+chocolate smitten Maurice died today in L.A. after a long battle with Parkinson's. He was diagnosed in 1992 and his condition deteriorated in recent months. The disease had progressed to the point he was forced to stop touring with the band 1994.

[@mwiggins0014]

Me too.

[@Shelikewoah]

+808kiker God his death crushed me

[@chj2]

theanimatedgirl@@#$%# I feel you-2016 has been a horrible year. . .We have to keep the memory alive of trailblazers like Bro Maurice (and many others) by passing down this CLASSIC TIMELESS MUSIC to the youngins and teach them about it 😉

[@DeathSentryCoH]

Broke my heart when he first got sick and then his death.. lord I was trying to get some money together to go the funeral

[@toya2628]

Phillip Bailey can sing his ass off

[@belindasidney3601]

Yes he can

[@SuperLiz142]

Forever LEGEND until this day 2019 I still play Earth Wind and Fire in my car!! BUMP it off !!!!! Everyday 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@franciscoechevarria174]

Right on Xiomara, I've following them since back just before Disco music came out in the mid seventies! I'm even proud to say that I've still got their first albums they came out back in the days of the vynil records, 8 tracks and then in the early eighteis they came with cassettes, that were a pain to get to a specific song that you wanted to listen to, and many times the tape would get tangled up or break, people that owned them know what I'm talking about! And I would listen to one of my favorite all time song of them Reasons the long version, especially while slow dancing with that special lady or someone that you really liked or wanted to get to know! Right on, right on! My only regret is that after more forty five of listening, buying and danced to their music God knows how many times! I've still haven't seen them live in a concert and I live in Tampa, Florida. And if I'm not mistaken they've been here at least four times in the last fifteen years! But hopefully next time they come God willing no matter what I'll be there! They don't make bands like that anymore and that have been around for almost fifty years and super famous and successful for that many years! Rest in peace the founder the late Maurice White! ❤️🕊️🇦🇷🇦🇷🇨🇺

[@simmonssimmons4494]

Alright 2022

[@justpde]

RIP Mr. Maurice White. Thank you for fantastic music which lives on through the generations.

[@ghanasoul]

Seein Maurice walk out and hearing Maurice do my fav part with Bailey's help got me crying like a baby. Great stuff!!

The Great Philip Bailey 🤴🏾#KINGOFFALSETTOS.

[@greatmusic2645]

Absolutely the baddest band EVER assembled, ... thank you Maurice White and the rest of the group; horns awesome!

[@marystuart9527]

great music those horns are truly the stuff but the horns back in the day with Don Myrick that was the real deal...if you ever get a chance to listen to them with a set of headphones it will blow your mind and that’s on any song!!! Enjoy

[@AlanaGurl]

I love Veradine White's energy!! And I'm 27! He's so cool!! Love EWF forever!

[@joycelynthomas2481]

I'm watching this in 2019 and it's nice to know that I can still be amazed and blown away by music. Theirs were the songs of my life back in the day. RIP Maurice, your legacy continues....

[@adambenedict6155]

For me, it was the early 80's. Little white kid growing up south of Chicago. I remember telling my neighbor how much I liked Kool and the Gang. I must have been 8 or 9. He hands me a cassette tape to play at home. I popped it in and heard "Let's Groove" by EWF for the first time in my life. I was hooked! I believe I wore that tape out! Now 45 years old and I am still watching their old videos from that time period.

[@Unk_213]

First of all this is when award shows were worth watching simply because of groups like Earth Wind & Fire who play live music and not singing from some computer or turntable who actually show the reason why they are legends and they will forever be Legends and needless to say the greatest band ever to perform! I'm not knocking any of our younger generation musicians but there just no comparisons great Earth Wind & Fire! #MemphisproductMauriceWhite

[@sharralynnpiercewoolworth6358]

YES!!!!!!

[@mariannechemu2860]

There are only two things separating this generation of music with the younger generation : Originality and Objectivity. That's why there's only one EWF and many Justin Bieber's. Nothing against Bieber. Just an example. 😊

[@lamontamuhammad517]

Amen …..so sad what’s today’s music as become and how much it has fell😢

[@bendesilvajr7342]

Your passing on your Mama's great music to your babies...well done..

[@debbiehampton818]

Mom The Ebayer good for them your children will appreciate real good music, EWF, and the list goes on.

[@NKLnDime]

My kids are just a bit younger than you and I raised them on it. When my son was in band in high school his teacher asked an old skool type question/s and asked if anyone had a clue to who he was talking about. Everyone was stomped/clueless....except my son, waving his hand and all full of himself. The class and moreso the teacher was amazed that he knew the answer was EW&F. When asked how he knew: It's my mom's favorite band and she has always played their music. I grew up singing their songs. It's 2 of their c.d.'s in my car right now :-).

[@gallen0616]

A tear rolled down my cheek, when I saw Maurice on stage.

[@sohappytogether353]

Everyone in the audience have a smile on their face. Earth wind & fires music makes you feel good 😊

[@Junkman2008]

Wow... this truly takes me back. Earth, Wind and Fire were my escape from the troubles of this world. Had it not been for their music, who knows... I would probably had turned to drugs. But the power of music is a wonderful thing and the power of EWF help bring me through some tryin' times. God bless you Maurice White.

[@RobRoyR8R]

I was with you until you talked about drugs. How their music kept you off of drugs is between them and you. G-D Bless

[@RelaxedReadz]

It makes my heart happy that despite his condition, Maurice was able to share the stage and accept this award with the band. I love EWF to my soul. If you get a chance, read Maurice White’s book “My Life with Earth, Wind, and Fire. A beautiful read on the mind of the genius, and all of the good and bad they went through as a band. ✌🏾☯️✊🏽💜

[@ginadenny1154]

How can I get hold of this book

EWF will never be forgotten there will never be another group like theirs. This was the era of the best bands and musicians and singers. Regardless of how old they get they will be young in our hearts. Their music will continue for many generations to come. we love you always. I won't take away the credit for other great musicians but I am Baby Boomer so the 60's 70's 80's 90' 2000's will always be the greatest era of Soul, R&B

[@edanielssr6113]

Mr white was and will forever be a musical genius EWF where one if not the baddest band to ever grace the stage and believe me there are some bad groups but these guys set the standard so thank you Mr Maurice White and Eerth Wind and Fire for blessing us with your music watching in 2022 / 61 years old I grew up with this music and have albums still rest easy Mr White

My big brother, God rest his soul, introduced me to the Elements & "real music" when I was very young. I am thankful to him and I still have an appreciation to this day. There have been many great bands but EWF set the standard. I love this band and still go see them perform every chance I get.

[@squarefellow1]

I can't say I've never believed in church. But my life has been one of thanking god. Living in the project's in Chicago, my life has not been easy. I remember getting up in the morning going to a bench watching the sun come up . I would take my giant portable radio and turning it as loud as I could. The music of earth, wind & fire would be my church. It would lift me up. And I would talk to God . And he would talk to me. He would tell me to hold on and keep my head to sky. Peace.
