Earth, Wind & Fire Appreciation Thread Now I know there's a Maurice White Memorial thread on here, but I want to do an appreciation thread on Earth, Wind & Fire. Come post your fave memories on the band and their solo stuff (sans White, since he has his own thread). Long live the "Mighty Elements of the Universe".

I have a lot of EWF favorites but "September" is very special to me since it's my birthday month. I will forever love that song.  I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

The Power/Africano medley from Gratitude gets my vote, just superfunky on every level Heavenly wine and roses seems to whisper to me when you smile...

Same here. I've dug a lot of their '70s albums, but September is just one of my all-time songs. Never fails to cheer me up if I am feeling down | |

The middle eight section in "Sweet Sassy Lady" is a compositional marvel. [Edited 3/27/16 13:51pm] [Edited 3/27/16 13:57pm] | |
