EWF was one of the greatest bands. His vocals and his lyrics were amazing, especially the words and music in this song. Thanks for sharing this.

Wow, how many songs did Maurice White plant in our hearts? Forever grateful to an inspiring human being.

20 years before, the song was Elvis Presleys "Cant Help Falling in Love with You."
...The smell of shampoo...
Respect to Earth Wind & Fire.

It was such an optimistic time.
Detroit was going to be the home of funk the way New Orleans is to Jazz and Nashville is to Country.
That was before the powers that be made a decision to make Detroit fail for the crime of being black.
More love:
