WHOA!| FIRST TIME HEARING Earth, Wind & Fire - Would You Mind REACTION

“September”! You’ve got to play “September”! Honestly, everything Earth, Wind & Fire did was awesome so you can’t miss.

My autistic daughter stims to certain songs and EWF's September is a favorite! Excellent choice!

[@poppingjaz]

I’m willing to bet they’ve heard September. I’ll say “You Can’t Hide Love”

[@jerrygray647]

The name of the song is actually Love's Holiday. It was on the B side of the 45 for their most iconic song September. It's the most famous B side song ever, as it was a huge hit as well. Earth Wind and Fire is simply the greatest band of all time, no matter what genre there is. There's so much more for you to discover with them. They've been my favorite band for almost 50 years.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

Yup, thanks for pointing that out. J & Amber aren’t the 1st reactors to call it “Would You Mind”. ✌🏽

The production of this song is incredible.. there's at least 15 different musical instruments involved in the production of this song and 10 vocal changes for the melody of this song, I don't think Rob truly appreciates what it took to create such a masterpiece.. and the song title is "Love's Holiday"!

[@peace-and-quiet]

Earth Wind And Fire was my first, very own grown up album. My mother took me to Kmart in the 70s when i was around 5 or 6 yrs old and they used to keep the record section in front of the store. We were walking by the music department and i spotted the latest EWaF album because my older cousin Richard had it and i was like the annoying little brother (i was a little girl) he never had. I loved him like a big brother and had to be into EVERYTHING he was into. He hated when i got into his room and played his records. So, i BEGGED my mother to buy it for me and the rest is history. ❤

[@deyeneicowilliams8218]

Next EW&F song should definitely be “After The Love Has Gone” followed by “Devotion”. “That’s The Way of the World” and “Be Ever Wonderful”! You guys will love all of them!

Their live album Gratitude is one of the best ever recorded. 3 sides of high energy performance that raise their level of musicianship and tightness to crazy heights. The 4th side was packed with new singles including the total classic Can’t Hide Love which has become a favourite even among Jazz musicians. Listen to that WHOLE record! ✌️

[@GoldenLady1007]

I LITERALLY played the grooves off this album. My brother was not happy. 😂😊💛

[@db-gb5xi]

For more quiet EWF, check out "I'll Write A Song For You", "After the Love Is Gone", "That's the Way of The World", "Devotion". Others like Sing A Song, In the Stone, Serpentine Fire, Getaway are more up tempo with the horns.

[@SlyVaughnHOBH]

This was on their album All ‘n All which was released in 77’ and shot straight to #1 on the R & B charts and #3 on the Billboard 200! (That’s #3 for ALL MUSIC no matter genre) I swear in the 70’s these guys couldn’t make a bad song if they tried! P.S. The official title to this song is “Love’s Holiday”.

[@markfadness9204]

This track is titled "Love's Holiday" -- from the 1977 EW&F LP "All 'N All"; it was not released as a single in 1977 but was released as the B-side of the "September" single in late 1978.

[@gabrielmcdonnell8699]

I hope you guys do dig deep into the EWF Catalog. Because as a teen of the 70's in the "DMV" (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) EWF are known for their many Love Ballads. We reminisce about events in our love youth with special partners based on which BALLAD came on the radio.....LATE NIGHTS ONLY. EWF dance music on the radio during the day. Love making BALLADS during the "Quiet Storm" after midnight. The list is very very long. The Angelic voices of Philip Bailey and Maurice White are legendary. Bailey is the one with 5 octives when he was younger. "REASONS" "After the love has gone" many more

[@lindaanderegg7920]

Reasons is an absolute must if you haven't reacted to that one yet. Perfection!!!

[@blackblake3658]

I like the live version.

[@LMmccallL57]

I'm having flashbacks of middle school and high school sock hops, and even better flashbacks after I was out of high school. Hehehe! You guys have to realize that almost every genre has, or at least had a slow song or slower than what they're mostly known for. It was set that way with record companies to try to please those who were against fast paced rock, blues, soul, metal, etc. Many used to include a gospel or inspirational song on their albums. Amber, the way guys used to approach a girl or talk to his lady was much better than many for today. The term "rap" means to talk, and it was very common for a guy to say to a girl "Can I catch that rap?" or "Can I rap to you for a minute?", meaning he's asking to talk to her to get to know her.

[@caesiyt]

Hi, Jason and Amber! This song is actually called "Love's Holiday", the one i recently suggested and i'm glad you guys react to it. BTW, the song "Would you mind" is like an Acapella version of the song "Love's Holiday", it's a previously unreleased bonus track included on the All 'N All CD album version reissued in 1999 and on an UK 12" single vinyl record. EW&F have another great hits like "Can't Hide Love", "Devotion", "Reasons", "That's the way of the world", "Boogie Wonderland", "After the love is gone", "September", "Let's Groove", "Could it be right", "Fall in love with me".

I just heard EW&F's "After The Love Has Gone" about half an hour ago on an old Casey Kasem countdown. I was hoping you would react to it. I thought this was it. That would've been a huge coincidence! You really should check it out. It's so SMOOTH, and sounds like it belongs in the "yacht rock" category.

[@seanswinton6242]

I agree. It fits perfectly there. It was co-written by Bill Chaplin and David Foster just before Chaplin joined Chicago for resurgence albums Chicago 16, 17, and tracks moving forward.

I *love* this song! There are some other, great, slow-but-funky, sensual EWF songs too, such as "Can't Hide Love," which deserves a reaction. Actually, a year ago, you reacted to one of their very best slower songs-- "Reasons!" 🙂 That song is slow and sensual, and *very* soulful. If you haven't heard it since that first reaction, give it another listen, and pay close attention to the lyrics. They get deep!

[@jamesstarks3676]

This is the soundtrack to my entire life. Slower songs by Earth Wind and Fire would be Reasons, Way of the World (Amber would fall in love with that song) and mid tempo would be Written in the Stone. Maurice White was one of the most important artists in my opinion. They really soared when Phillip Bailey added his incredible falsetto to the overall sound. These men wrote masterpieces, not just music.

[@mcdnea7030]

Great reaction. Reacting to EWF songs live is the key to everything. When I was in high school this was the biggest band to come to town. And you always looked forward to their shows, it was like a concert, the circus (They had David Copperfield creating magical illusions for them.) , and church all rolled into one. Also, they made songs so much better when performed live. They could even take a song you might not have liked that much on the album and make it the best song of the night. If you guys are interested, an interesting reaction would be to react to a studio version and then a live version to see this. Examples: "Way of the World" studio version, then the live in Oakland in 81 version. Or even better , listen to the studio version of "Magic Mind," one of the EWF songs that doesn't make that much of an impression, and then see how they turned it into a masterpiece live. This may be one of the best songs I have ever seen performed live. Check it here live in Japan in 79. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZqyi36hndiZn9k At about 10 minutes and 15 seconds in. The amount of personality and showmanship they put into that song still moves me even to this day.
