Earth, Wind & Fire - In the Stone| REACTION 🔥🔥🔥

[@kbquan]

Maurice White. One of the best to ever do it. The horn section is lit. RIP Maurice White, founder of EWF

[@lavelleadams9591]

This song is more spiritual than people realize.

[@JudyArroyo-uo4sg]

Maurice White = Brilliant , super talented, top tier producer , music master , legendary.

[@garyfallows1123]

To see the smile on the face of someone so young reacting to music I have known and loved most of my life is a joy 🇬🇧

[@cashflowhustles]

I ain't got but 3 words to say: EARTH, WIND AND FIRE! 😅😂🤣

[@peterr.clarke965]

One of the GREATEST Bands EVER!!!!! Dun Talk.

[@osazedolabaille7832]

My favourite EWF song by far. Not just for the music, but the lyrics... 🔥🔥🔥

[@michaelb2388]

It's got to be the greatest intro into a pop song ever written

[@richardlindsey8917]

Also one of the greatest outros.

[@GreggJohnson225]

A marching band favorite.

[@thekidd8705]

That horn section is superb

[@susanhicks9305]

Without a doubt!!

[@keithboone9975]

They play their own instruments, them the Commodores, LTD etc….

[@shortblockflexinit5219]

I was 12 years old when I heard Earth, Wind, and Fire in 1973, and the song was Evil. You are right about the music. I'd never heard anything like it and I was hooked. Mighty Mighty got me next, and they became the first artist of only 2 artists who's albums I'd buy without hearing a song (Prince was the other one). They are the baddest band in the land. Great reaction.

[@williamisenberger1073]

I was lucky to have seen them live twice in 1979 and 81. What an experience

[@chillimont]

It must have been around ’81 when I saw them in Birmingham (NEC..UK)…Life Changing!!

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

Ashley, the Phenix Horns, originally known as the EWF Horns, were the main horn section for the band Earth, Wind & Fire. The horn section were composed of Don Myrick on saxophone, Louis "Lui Lui" Satterfield on trombone, Rahmlee Michael Davis on trumpet, and Michael Harris on trumpet. The Phenix Horns are also known for their work with Phil Collins and the band Genesis. They have also performed with other artists, such as the Chi-Lites, Ramsey Lewis, Deniece Williams and the Emotions. The horn section should not be confused with the Earth, Wind & Fire Horns which were established in 1987.

[@rabmcaleer8903]

Favourite album of 1979❤️❤️

[@lindarenee2198]

If we could go back in time, I would take you to an Earth, Wind & Fire concert. It was one of the most fascinating times in life. Never a disappointment. To see it live. OMG! R.I.P. Maurice White ❤

[@electric8668]

EWF had some of the best cleanest sounding recordings sonically with clarity of any group in those days even rivaling recordings of today.

[@melande-ru7ro]

I was 13 in when this song came out, great memories.

[@iconpoet]

Also... Maurice White isn't mentioned in the genius category enough

[@dannydavisjrmusic]

Good call. He is at the top of my list!

[@empiredevelopment45]

"The Phoenix Horns" was the name of EW&F brass section! I struggle to determine the best between them and the 70's band "Cunfunshun" Both groups are inundated with AMAZING MUSICIANSHIP!!!

[@Knick_Fury]

I would throw Brass Construction, (early) Kool & The Gang, and (early) Chicago in that 🔥 horn section mix too…but EWF had it on 🔒!

[@kennethclark693]

EWF had a great band my favorite group , saw them in concert it was awesome

[@randymccloud5743]

You forget just how good these songs are, until you watch somebody hearing them for the first time. I know everbody always talks about Phillip Bailey's falsetto...which is absolutely amazing, but my favorite voice in EW&F was always Maurice White...RIP.

[@bakercarl8518]

Love them , miss them. This group held their own for decades.

[@SharonHayes-i7u]

My College Jam, used to rock this through the whole dorm, always nice to watch a youngster enjoy this classic music, for the first time!!!

[@janiemarshall7928]

Love 🖤🖤🖤. It's the horn section for me 🖤🖤🖤

[@jcole12207]

Bout time you got to some more EWF one of the best bands ever 😁💪🏾

[@laneywildcats3549]

A lot of HBCU bands play this song as their downfield precision drill.

[@kielhall8363]

Great 🙂there is more words here they are we love the elements of the universe and thank the creator for sending us, Maurice White, the leader of earth wind, and fire. He’s an ancestor now, but the music lives on thank you. Ashley.

[@MarcG7424]

This is in my top 10 of my favorite EWF songs there a band called Leonid and Friends who do a awesome cover of this song on YT

[@jiujitsujackson9831]

Bands gravitate to EWF because of the artistry in the heavy horn play. You caught it

[@malvindixon]

Ashley I am Old school at it's best giving you a blast from the past this group called "New Life song is called "Wish you were here" You're going to love it. It's a lover boy song.

[@haroldpringle3691]

One of my favorite songs by EWF for sure. Thanks for doing this one.

[@lesliecrawford4227]

EW&F, Parliament Funkadelic, and Cameo had some of the meanest horns in their bands A1 periodttt!!

[@GLAS63]

That Horn Section (Phenix Horns) Played with other musicians too.. Don Myrick on saxophone Louis “Lui Lui” Satterfield on trombone Rahmlee Michael Davis on trumpet Michael Harris on trumpet

[@CRSoundDoctor]

Hi Ashley, The song that you mentioned was not "In Your Face" it is titled "ON YOUR FACE!!!" And you're so right about the crazy amount of HBCU Marching Bands that play many of Earth Wind & Fire (EWF) songs because of their rich instrumentation and that is a tribute to the fact that EWF has always been known to have an amazing "Horn Section!!!"

[@ivanhouston12]

I love when bcu's band opens with this

[@Sec998]

"In the Stone" is the lead song on Earth,Wind&Fire's 1979 "I Am" album. It's a great opening song. The interlude you hear after the song had a Kalimba solo which Earth,Wind & Fire would feature on several of their songs.

[@leidellgettis7926]

As I have said before, I will say it again. You can NEVER go wrong with the elements...Earth, Wind, & Fire!!!!!👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@littlegiantproductionsandr3091]

You know your instruments, Ashley. Very kool. ❤

[@reginaldstyles9549]

The Absolutely Amazing Legendary Goats Of Music Always Delivered Classics 🙏💕💪😇

[@moonshinelol]

I love the way you let the intire song play.Thanks.

[@RepentOrPerishL133]

Many of the frunk groups of the 70s had great horn musicianship that favored transposing for marching bands.

[@deebrown4877]

This is one of my favorites from them!! So glad you found out about it, reacted to it, and you recognized it! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙂

[@jessebrown3790]

Put some headphones on Play the song and listen to Maurice white's brother verdean on the bass

[@sirnose5378]

There’s Earth Wind & Fire, Parliament Funkadelic, Frankie Beverly & Maze and then there is everybody else!

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

Only few bands made masterpieces. EWF made a couple. They used all they could get: Strings, horns, electronics, percussion and their beautiful voices in a perfect way. True black music! To analyze this song fully in all its layers and aspects, you need a lot of time. BTW: I really love your face expressions. That shows that EWF made a really good job. 😊

[@skssuccess75]

Yes mam! this is from the movie Drumline. You also have to check out their song called "Earth, Wind, & Fire" too. It's deep and spiritual.

[@Trucker4life5101]

Out of the park! Ashley

[@ccbearcreek]

All the great marching bands roll out, “In the Stone.”

[@gregorypowell1311]

Another one from the brilliant mind of Maurice White ! R.I.P. Brother !

[@soulblack621]

Classic 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@annettaharris5721]

As a former majorette on a HBCU Band. Yes ma’am Claflin for life. Love The Elements ❤.

[@TheOfficialAshleyReacts]

Ohhhhhh lol I’m in your neck of the woods ! And Claflin just had their homecoming !! Did you go ? 🥰

[@annettaharris5721]

@ yes ma’am I did. I did attend Homecoming 2024.

[@TheOfficialAshleyReacts]

@@annettaharris5721 small world . I was out there for all of 2 hours lol just to see how yall do ! I was with a group of friends 💕

[@potluck_]

Philip Bailey famously said the phoenix horns would accuse Maurice white of trying to break the band! This proves it as a fact!

[@amosglitterz2649]

That little groove at the end....they added 'interludes' between tracks rather than dead air. They last like 15-30 sec. Like impromptu jam breaks.

[@jimmyshaw6840]

Underrated album!

[@chillimont]

EWF…PERFECTION!!!

[@johncunningham1797]

I knew that Penelope was gonna' work OT on this jam!! 🎉😂❤

[@galenhubbard8784]

I’m glad you enjoyed the GOAT band.Their horn/string arrangements are very complexed.That’s Jerry Hey/David Foster/Maurice arrangement.Also checkout “All n All,Tom Tom Washington did the horn arrangements for EWF Phenix Horns.Before Maurice created EWF,he was a beast studio drummer for Chess Records.

[@anoyawilliams6538]

Brass Construction is a great band if you like hearing different instruments. Thank you.

[@m1thomas1]

Yep. EWF will having you experiencing some serious eargasms.

[@geralddaugherty9846]

EW&F has too many classics to count. My go-to happy song is Got to Get You Into My Life.

[@mdnbme4436]

Ashley, check out EWF "See the Light", and "Head to the Sky". I promise you'll be wowed😮!

[@ellerootz6702]

Anutha classic by EWF!

[@ProfitPathTV-zf6je]

EWF's entire albums were must-listens, because you didn't just have the back-to-back hits, but you had little interludes between the songs, weaving all the songs on the album together, like links in a soulful, spiritual, musical chain.

[@empiredevelopment45]

Try "Shake and Dance" by CunFunShun, one day... talk about horns!

[@okAngelface]

Takes me back to my 1st real girlfriend. Good times... falling asleep on the phone. Ha ha

[@MarcG7424]

Falling asleep on the phone and you hang up first no you hang up first that goes on another 10 minutes 😂

[@DavidHolley-q1j]

Love your videos cause you're non bias now if you've not heard Leonid and friends do so very hard to go by T O P and hard for me say I'm sorry by Chicago please give them a listen. Keep up the good work. Make sure you listen to the band cause every beat every note is so on point and the drummer holds everyone on time.

[@derrickswynn]

Every HBCU Marching has played this song at some time.

[@kennydeez..1774]

🔥🔥🔥👍🏾💯💯💯

I dare you to follow that bass line…Verdine White can do it!

" there's a Russian band that plays this song live. I can't think of the name??🤔

If there's no pen, it's a sin

[@romienomie]

Greatest band ever imo

[@leesmith6574]

👍🧔🏿

[@TerranceMosley-ck3fc]

If you would let the song play, we could hear it.

[@thewatchmen4920]

And the intro is over a minute long

[@jillday2955]

Certain groups/artists are their own category.🤌🏾 Glad you got to revisit EWF! I was blessed to see them perform nearly every time they came to Detroit during press conferences and reviews. #WhatUpDoe
