I broke down and bought the boxed set of Columbia years. I am still listening to CD's for the first time.

'head to the sky' and shinning star' these songs so positive and uplifting for the spirit. i wish positive message music was still a part of today's music.
instead of,
yo body, yo shawty, my eyes, my bling, i rap, cain't sing, my money, yo honey, beez yo stupid, (most) pop rap's gibberish wasted X foolish-ness.

ABSOLUTELY!!! One of my favorite groups of a ll time! EW&F have gotten me through many hard times over the last few decades. Music doesn't get any better than this. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Their music is timeless. It's hard to top EWF from a total musical perspective. That's why i answered EWF to the what music what you want to listen to alone on a deserted island a few weeks ago. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

Their side projects are great as well. Maurice White didn't throw no sloppy seconds to Deniece Williams, Emotions and Ramsey Lewis, he gave them ACE materials | |

Chil' you ain't never lied.
The is the group of my youth, saw these band when they were still doing the college gigs, through the different line ups, and around the World. My all time favorite band as well. Sly and the Family Stone would have been my first all time favorite, but "we" ( my siblings) parted company with those people. | |

That's cool. Is she a fan? My uncle turned me on to EWF when they had Mighty Mighty out. I believe i was in the 4th grade. A few years later when he came home on break from the military he bought me the I Am album with the poster. I don't think i have the poster with it anymore. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

I saw E.W. & F in concert 7 months pregnant, she was already a fan.
Brett's a BiG fan. She's really into their early stuff, which kinda of surprises me. Her favortie album is, "Open Your Eyes". | |

My favorite band also.....
I would be curious about everyone elses opinion, but I think what speaks volumes about the music and production that Maurice and team created together is that IMO, I have not heard one remake of their music that was better than the original....
They were never overtly political, but more life-affirming, inspirational and down-right happy music you would be hard-pressed to find in similar abundance with almost any other artist.
And, to Maurice's credit, most of their legacy music has truly withstood the test of time.....Production is not dated.....The layers of percussion, strings, voices, instruments on Fantasy, as just one example of music at its best speaks volumes of the attention to detail and the precision that Maurice kept in the music of EWF.
