I was a chubby little white boy in the early 80s. The only records my parents ever listened to were from people like the Carpenters and Captain & Tenille. One day my neighbors had a yard sale and I found some 45 records there by someone called Earth, Wind & Fire. I didn't know who they were, but I begged my mom to buy them for me because I wanted to hear more records. I got those records home, put them on my record player, and oh man was my little mind blown. I couldn't stop dancing. From that day on I fell in love with soul groove. A little later I discovered the Commodores, Hall & Oates, Kool & the Gang, and so on. Good memories.

I SO relate!! From the time I first heard the Supremes until now, 45 years later, there has never been a white face in my music collection!

[@davidroseman4917]

Can't go wrong with Earth Wind and Fire.

[@patriciafuller1340]

FINALLY. they are the best soul group in the WORLD. You should explode a lot more of them. They have the most romantic songs on the planet.

[@sueprator9314]

Yes...their style covered more than Soul. They incorporated so many other flavors -subtley. They used Rock, Latin rock, Disco of that era in a variety of their music. They are still my #1 FAV

Hello, this song was created created before auto-tunes Let's Groove by Earth, Wind & Fire song meaning, lyric interpretation, video ... was createdusing a device called a vocoder, which predates Auto-Tune by decades.

[@chpman2013]

Nope, not autotune, that'd be either a vocodor or a vocal synthesizer. They didn't have autotune...in 1981.

[@jessieball6195]

Most artists back then didn't want, or need it.

The most amazing stuff of the EWF, is the stunning Horn Section. Simply, out of this planet, aside the groove and vibe from this guys. Irresistible!!. If nobody dances with the intro and all song, it is not human, it`s a robot.

[@cdfdesantis699]

Earth, Wind, & Fire was a powerhouse band with its soulful disco.

[@bobbiemotley5438]

This 63 old white lady still grooves to EWF. I was lucky and saw them in concert, will never forget it. This did bring tears to my eyes, lost Maurice too soon, you can see he is all in singing this song and all of their play list. Thank you guys! ❤💖🔥

[@JEDFNCLAMPETT-id3zp]

Agreed, there was no sitting down at their show! I’ve seen them 6 times through the years. They just got better and better.

[@snobile58]

a great disco song. diverse, inclusive and fun! bring it back, we need it.

[@artiedeko]

that's Phillip Bailey with the amazing falsetto!! And Maurice White..awesome together!!

[@sueprator9314]

RIP Maurice White. Love them both.

[@2Misha]

Maurice sang falsetto as well! Check out Phillip Bailey’s book, Shining Star.

Now you know where Bruno Mars got his inspiration for Treasure, i grew up listening to EWF in the 80s because of my parents, one of the best bands ever, Legends 😊😊😊

🥰 Part of the soundtrack of my life, and yes, once you stop dancing, you might as well cash in your chips.

EW&F always hits it. I just remember dancing was so much a part of our music back then. It doesn't seem that way nowadays.

They really seem like they would've fit right in. Ha

[@stacymoore9836]

When this song came out I was a senior in high school. I loved to dance to this at school dances.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

I met Verdeen White (the bassist) many years ago. He used to come into this little store I worked at on Santa Monica Blvd. He was always so pleasant and nice and was always interested in so many things. We'd have some nice conversations every time he came in. Their name was based on the 4 metaphysical elements of the Universe: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. They were very metaphysically minded.

[@HempRockTelevision]

I love EWF so much that in '74 I went by myself to see em live cuz no1 I knew wanted to go! I was 15!

[@kareng1821]

Love Earth, Wind and Fire, saw them live they were and are amazing. Everyone in the audience was grooving with their music. Still listen them today when exercising. Such awesome dance music, you have to move with it,

[@drew65sep]

Ya'll should do some Dazz Band..."Joystick" or "Let it Whip." They've got a great catalog of material, and their stuff got a ton of "play" in the clubs back in the day.

She's correct, that song is one of them songs that you can't help yourself. Something is going to be jumping, bopping, nodding on your body. It's unavoidable

I'm seeing them with Santana next summer, can't wait!

I freaking love Earth, Wind & Fire. Sure this music came out before my time but I don’t care. Let’s Groove is my all time favorite song by that group. As soon as you hear that intro, you can’t help but bust a move. I always have to hear that intro a few times. The intro is my favorite part.

[@lesnolan9826]

Let's Glide like a 747.! I remember hitting that back slide on the dance floor in the 70s, to this part in the song. That's right bell-bottoms, disco balls, and those lit up dance floors they gave you a migraine the next day.!

When my big brother brought home this album, he played the vinyl on our family record player cabinet consol whatever they're called, 1980... my sisters and I DIED! WE-LUUUUUVED-THIS SONG! O-M-G! We played the shit out of this! And there wasn't a big family function/wedding where this song wasn't played. DJ's always played this and the dance floor always got packed! Up until my wedding in May 2001, I asked my DJ to play this and to dedicate it over the mic to my brother, love me 🤗❤ My family, friends and relatives danced our moves out! This song IS THE BEST! Whenever this song is on at a bar/club/function, I bust out the Shannon moves (Let The Music Play) LOL... this song just brings out her moves out of me!

[@annaguera4841]

I'm a new sub and noticed you did decide to go down the rabbit hole with my favorite band of all time! They were my very first concert...and I'm still trying to find a band that puts on an all around better "live" show than this group. They are the consummate musicians, vocalists..and musical producers. That have such a vast and diverse catalog. You can just get lost in the music if tou really listen to the way they perfectly combine their vocals with the musical composition with all of the instruments. Evey single person is talented and their music reflects it. It's magical how the way they produce their songs where the solos and harmonies blended with the instruments almost become one "voice..sound" but with so many layers. They're are true artists in every way..in their own unique lane. Thank you SO much for reacting to them. Please play more.."Fantasy" "Shining Star" "Reasons" "That's the Way of the World"..and many more. 💜💜💜

Sad to say, I only saw EWF one time. Only once. that was here in LA, at The Forum. WHAT, a concert ! 1st off, EVERYONE was there ! Black----white----Asian-----Latin----Gay----Hetero-----& everyone in between. 2nd, they put on a show of shows ! And, we were all dancing in the aisles, singing along, & i never had so much fun . My date was a girl named Gwen Johnson, who I had worked with. As she was black, this had caused real problems with her family, but NOT at this concert ! EVERYONE ---------every kind of person-------was there, & no one cared. OMG, EWF were just fantastic . And, we left, with smiles on our faces. -----------------MJL< 76 y/o-
