[@GrungeHQ]

What are your favorite songs from Earth, Wind & Fire?

[@cjjones258]

Let's Groove

[@sburris65]

September..it doesn't have to be September for me to blast it.

[@bigolebot]

Back shot

[@henryjrboybandola3475]

All of them...

[@alexandradillard2077]

“Love Is Life”, Keep Your Head To The Sky”, “Saturday Night”, “Imagine”, “Let’s Groove”, “Fall In Love With Me”, “Shining Star”, “Jupiter”. Too many to name.😉

[@dmercury292]

I was fortunate enough to see them a few times. They were amazing live.

[@TheBLACKMQQN]

Same here. The first of which was when Maurice stopped touring with the group. 😔

[@alexandradillard2077]

Same here. I saw them four times. If there was any type of dissension or contention it didn’t show. They never disappointed on stage. I did hear an interview with Larry Dunn mentioning that he finally received respect he deserved

[@GasMaskParade]

Their music definitely lived up to their epic group name.

[@darrellmfume4020]

This is the Baddest Band EVER Assembled. the Beatles my ___ you fill in the blank.

[@sunnu777]

1st of all, you can NOT recall the history Earth, Wind, and Fire without mentioning Charles Stepney (R.I.P.)!! It was he who mentored Maurice White and cultivated the fantastic sound that made them so popular today!!

[@CuzCutz]

This video does mention “Step”! And also mentions how devastating it was to lose him.

[@Gl6619]

Did you actually watch the video….it’s a section that literally says “Step’s death was so abrupt”

[@joeymorvant161]

Love Earth, Wind And Fire!

[@sburris65]

If you think black folks and white folks can't get along..go to a EWF concert. Seen them several times and one of the most diverse shows I've ever been to. Just a bunch of people ready to have a good time.

[@djquinn11]

It’s the media telling black and white people that they can’t get along. The reality is that we can and do get along.

[@sburris65]

@Dale Anderson ..I work with a very diverse group of people. And I honestly never think about it. If you're a good and kind person, I like you no matter what.

[@djquinn11]

@@sburris65 : Exactly

[@kentkearney6623]

Yep. Had two seats in the third row at Treasure Islands Casino Red Wing. A Brother noticed and walked up dressed to the nines. (Security come up to mess with him.) 6ft 5 tall and blocked the view of fans behind us wanting to sit the show. I slipped him my ticket and played the fool. We laughed and had the time of our life. WHO SITS AT EW&F ? It was his style, smile, and moves that had the ladies melting as well. Being white and not White I just tried not to embarrass myself. EW&F needs an open floor. Color blind as it should be like in the movie Ray.

[@Trija204]

EWF forever!

[@Lee-rq9do]

One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.

[@claire-christmas-august73]

underrated band.! ☺️😊😃 i, still to this day, play my parents vinyl records. my young adult children appreciate them too.! stellar band.! ✌🏻🇦🇺🌏✌🏻

[@meyerj75]

And speaking of Ramsey Lewis, he and Maurice White would collaborate together in 1974 for the maximal 8 1/2 minute opus, "Sun Goddess".

[@calebdouglas7622]

As well as Hot Dawg It

[@lizgoodwin1812]

@@calebdouglas7622 Great, underrated song. I totally agree with you. EW&F and Mr. Charles Stepney's enduring artistry never can be duplicated. Thank you and Blessings to the Great Earth Wind & Fire and all here. This was a very insightful video. Much appreciated!

[@kentkearney6623]

Thank you. Looking for info on Ramsey Lewis Trio after this video. Ramsey was scheduled to play Ordway in St. Paul. Was so excited. He had to cancel and retire. He owes nothing. I forgive him. Still alive.

[@misane2212]

The greatest group of all time

[@JamesW225]

Loved this band.

[@kentkearney6623]

They're still out there.

[@mcgrin5996]

Favorite of all time

[@bigolebot]

Who had the opportunity to see them live in their heyday?

[@sburris65]

MEEEEEE!!! Once EWF, Kool and the Gang, Cameo, and Chicago. One of the best shows I've been to.

[@asage5801]

3 times: ‘77, ‘79 and 80. Always the best show of the year in those days

[@beautyRest1]

Saw them in Germany 1974 or 1975, even met Maurice and Leonard Smith (general manager at that time) great time!!

[@karencoleman6442]

Graceful that Maurice White did not give up on his dreams dispite the fact he experienced police brutality. Also the group stayed together despite their differences. Like many of us they realized that they had to come together cause they are family of brothers as well a band. Earth Wind &Fire stilled remain one of the top bands of all time. The music will always touch many generations to come. ❤

[@cjjones258]

Miles Davis' favorite band

[@alexandradillard2077]

Same here. I saw them four times. If there was any type of dissension or contention it didn’t show. They never disappointed on stage. I did hear an interview with Larry Dunn mentioning that he finally received respect he deserved (paraphrasing ). The only time I saw contention on stage was when I saw Atlantic Starr when Barbara took Sharon’s place.

[@michaelirizarry2276]

Maurice,will never be forgotten.he's jamming in the skie's.

[@IamSnowbird]

I love E,W,&F but if you are broke as soon as the band goes on hiatus then you are living beyond your means.

[@JMrealgamer]

You can’t have joy without tragedy. It’s all apart of life. It’s crazy how they grooved through it all. How EW&F is still here!

[@jamesconnolly1201]

I'm a huge fan.

[@smoothnubian]

Check out the book DO YOU REMEMBER? CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF EARTH, WIND & FIRE

5:45 what is the name of the full video on this scene?

[@byfaithwalking1529]

7:38 Tom Joyner "Ebony - Jet Showcase" 📺📻💜

[@robertday5434]

that's the way of the World.

[@jonsmtrs]

EWF were always great¡ Yet their when they shared the stage with Chicago it was beyond anything¡

[@creamcheesediarrhea1006]

They will send the police if you dial those 1-800 numbers..

[@bellareid3488]

'If you are in immediate danger call 911" Wasn't he being beaten by THE COPS???!!! It would be funny if it wasn't so fucking disturbing and disgusting. Unfortunately, nothing has changed.

[@melanievincent3068]

Every time I see a cop or get into trouble, (I think to myself (there goes my paycheck)

[@rinaticson390]

Maurice wouldn't share the creativity. Plain and simple

[@reggiefurlow1]

Sounds like the band members should have had better business sense and side gigs unless contracts stopped them

[@t.nelson9345]

I didn't know the band had a female in it

[@freein2339]

This vid is not accurate...please take it down,,,,

[@meemeethecat7391]

Like them. But no they not. The ojays. Gramcentral station. And the commodores.

[@syria0110]

Yeah... because they are "Earth, Wind, & Fire" 💀 they're in a league of their own

[@meyerj75]

Earth Wind and Fire, The O'Jays, Grand Central Station and the Commodores are all part of the 1970s Soul Town R&B Family.

[@marcusmundy6247]

I don't believe this crap

[@PhilMoskowitz]

I didn't get pass the one minute mark. Earth, Wind and Fire, and most other black musical artists from that era, weren't about painting themselves as black victims.

[@kennethbrown5206]

I think that they shouldn't do a movie about Earth, Wind and Fire. Will someone please make this a reality.
