Funkadelic did a version,too(as a B-side to the 45 of "I'll Bet You", also on "Music for Your Mother"), But I agree, I really like EWF's arrangement the best...

Sun Goddess live
September Thats the Way of the World Fantasy Can't Hide Love Be Ever Wonderful After the Love Has Gone Reasons Pretty much the entire "Faces" album Love is Life Devotion Pretty much the entire "Gratitude" album EWF is the happiest, most life-affirming funk band EVER. You CANNOT listen to an EWF album without feeling happy. I recommend the EWF Live videocassette, where Bailey takes on a Darth Vader-like costumes guy to a hot funk rythym opening the show: so cheesy! | |

No I haven't. I'll look for it when I go to Best Buy for their $9.99 Prince CD sale today. http://www.prince.org/msg...sg_1543579 (Check the "Motown 1's" CD on the ad) Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah,it's a shame that recent EW&F albums like 'Avatar' (1996) and 'The Promise' (2003) didn't get the attention they deserved.Those are fine albums. I'm excited about a new CD,but hopefully the old albums will continue to get remastered.Last I heard,'Faces' is the next album that's getting the remastered treatment. | |

'Last Days And Time' (1972) 'Head To The Sky' (1973) 'Faces' (1980) 'Raise' (1981) It's not really that crucial for 'Powerlight'(1983) to be remastered,as it wasn't one of my favorite EW&F albums.But they REALLY,REALLY need to re-release the underrated 'Heritage' CD (1990),which has been out-of-print for about a decade or so. | |

I dunno, I love Powerlight, I even prefer it over Raise. Lot's of songs I really enjoy: Side by Side, Fall in Love With Me, Something Special, Straight from the Heart, Speed of Love, Hearts to Heart... I even like the kitschy Miracles, hehe
anyway... desperately waiting for the remastered "Faces" now  Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

anyway... desperately waiting for the remastered "Faces" now I found 'Powerlight' to be uninspired,as if they were just going through the motions.Also,by that time,their music started to become more electronic.The horns all but disappeared on some tracks.But I did like the first single "Fall In Love With Me",and "Side By Side" is nice.

"Imagination" is amazing,isn't it? Hard to believe that it was never released as a single. | |
