Brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET and hosted by Scott Goldfine - musicologist and author of “Everything Is on THE ONE: The First Guide of Funk” ― “TRUTH IN RHYTHM” is the interview show that gets DEEP into the pocket with contemporary music’s foremost masters of the groove.
Featured in Part 4 of this 4-part series: Keyboardist extraordinaire Larry Dunn helped transform Earth, Wind and Fire into one of the all-time most successful R&B bands, with sales of more than 100 million albums worldwide, and in all 32 gold and platinum/multiplatinum singles and albums. EWF also collected six Grammys out of 13 nominations, four American Music Awards, a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Grammys' Lifetime Achievement Award, among other industry honors.
In addition to playing organ, synthesizer, piano and clavinet, Dunn served as the band's musical director. As one of the key people behind the scene, much of the group's musical success can be attributed to him. He also rehearsed EWF for live stage performances and wrote many of the musical segues and medleys. He had major creative influence in such classics as "Shining Star," "Spirit," "Be Ever Wonderful," "Runnin'," "See The Light," "Let Me Talk," "And Love Goes On," "Jupiter," and other melodies that continue to live on in the hearts of fans and popular music lovers.
Dunn's other production and performance credits include the Emotions, Level 42, Ronnie Laws, George Duke, Lenny White, Paulinho Da Costa, Foley, Ramsey Lewis, Caldera, Hubert Laws, Stanley Turrentine, Dianne Reeves, Brian Culbertson, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Stanley Clarke and Deniece Williams. Since 1988, Dunn and his wife Luisa have been involved with production projects, writing music for Japanese television commercials, film and studio work.
He released his first solo album in 1996 called Lover's Silhouette and in 2008 released N2 the Journey, which includes involvement of many of the high profile artists just mentioned. Dunn also continues to perform and maintain a busy schedule.
In this comprehensive series recorded from his home L.A. studio, he covers every aspect of his career. Later on he demonstrates some famous melodies on his keyboard and has wife and musical companion Luisa join in. This is a can't-miss journey with a modern funk-R&B-pop giant.

I WISH LARRY & LUISA MUCH SUCCESS IN THEIR MUSICAL VENTURES ❤❤❤
I love Larry's keyboard work on "See The Light" from That's The Way Of The World album. "Sunshine" from Gratitude album is another EWF favorite of mine.
I’m so proud of Larry Dunn, being from Denver and going to high school with his sisters makes me feel a lot closer to the band , Thank You Larry and all the band members for a lifetime of my favorites

I could tell that Larry was serious yet alot of creative fun. God Bless you and your beautiful wife!
Great interview!!❤❤❤
Such a cute couple, you can tell that they are happy together!
75,76,and 77 was the last years of full bands, and original GOOD music.
Fantastic interview. I love Larry Dunn .I am a fan forever. And I am so happy to here that he has been married 37 year's. Wow amazing. May the most high God of Abraham isaac and Jacob continue to bless you and your family and friends
Awesome!!! Glad I found this. I have followed Larry Dunn since 1973. Thank God for his contributions to life. Luisa is a jewel in every way... and she LOVES God! Now I must go back and catch parts 1 and 2. What a fantastic presentation. Thanks!!!
"Uncle Larry dies not sample". AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Hubert Laws taught Ronnie to play the flute? That's insane!!! What a blessing to learn about Larry, Luisa and their journey during and post EWF! This is a phenomenal interview that I didn't want to end! THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS EVERYONE INVOLVED!!!!!!!
Larry disappeared while she was talking…like magic
LOVED ALL FOUR segments. Larry is such a fascinating brother. A really genuine human being, a great talent, and funny guy! Luisa is such a wonderful person, supportive wife--and singer, as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the joy you've brought me since I was in high school in the mid-seventies!!!!
"She doesn't have time to age, plenty ones!" CLASSIC PIMP METHODOLOGY! 😎😂
You just got to love Larry and his wife.
I was a fan of Earth, Wind, and Fire since their 1971 release: I Think About Loving You!
And I’ve also heard Mr Larry Dunn’s work on Lenny White’s Streamline Album, and Caldera.
I love Larry and Louisa man. EWF is my favorite band, but they haven't been the same when Larry left. In fact, my favorite tunes on Now, Then and Forever are the ones that Larry and Louisa are involved in. I still love EWF, but you miss Larry.
What a fun loving couple. Great interview!!
Luisa I thought the same thing looking at the album covers that Larry looked so serious 😂 😂. But watching this video he's down to earth. Y'all make a cute couple.
This interview is excellent.
“Uncle Larry does not sample…”
Hahaha 😝 😊
Hey Scott. Thanks for the interview with Larry Dunn. Good to know he’s alive and well. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
I watched all four of the segments. I thoroughly enjoyed each one as Larry and Louisa open up about their life, career and experiences. I grew up with EWF and first saw them perform in 1977 at the Baltimore Civic Center. I also saw them at the Capital Center on Largo, MD on 3 more occasions over the years. Thank you for posting. I will visit the Larry Dunn website and purchase some music. Thanks so much for posting!!!
Awesome interview still for radio2021 amann
i watched all four an i love it,these guys are so great i love them.
I’m your #1 Jamaican fan since the first EWF album ..........you inspired me to play keys
Has watched this one yet again.
Did anyone notice that when Larry stopped talking about EWF, he woke up. Was it that bad Larry?
“Ten jobs…”’😊 hahaha 😊
“Plenty One’s” 😊🙏🏽❤️🌹
Proverbs 31 🌹
Wait a minute: how did Larry playing ALL THROUGH EWF’s NOW, THEN & FOREVER not come up? That was 2013 & their best album
in a while; even with the absence of Maurice. Plus Larry wrote &/or produced two songs on the album.
I agree. When I first heard "Guiding Lights", it was like being transported back in time. Of course it was because of Larry's amazing keyboards. Imagine if they brought Al McKay back!
Thanks for posting I've learned so much 👍🏽
Thanks so much for bringing this interview ! All 4 sections are great ! 👍
Lucky lady🥰
“‘Cause I’m FAHN (fine)”! LOL!!
I love twilight world didn't find out until later that was Luisa 🥰
. . . . BEAUTIFUL video Mr.Larry/Brother Larry...& the godly Mrs. Too!...lol...😀 I have LOVED Earth-Wind-&-Fire all my life! One if my FAVORITE songs is 'Blood Brothers'...and 'Sunday Morning'.... I remember when I took all my music and composition classes and keyboard...and my goodness, I LOVE it!....Fast & Praying with the Lord/Holy Spirit...Hallelujah!...I remember when I HARDLY ever had to take my Music Finals in school...because I always got all A's in music ....lol 🙃 Online I just recently told Mariah Carey about an idea to a BRAND NEW 'NEXT' ALBUM and to entitle it, "A-MUZIClature/AMUZIClature...{a unique name for the word 'Nomenclature'' and the word MUSIC/muZic/AMUZ - that is a pretty word to the word AMUZement...with respect to the word that references the entertainment arena}...
Brother Larry, I feel sad for Mr. Maurice's death...because he was a FABULOUS OUTSTANDING singer/frontman for EWF...yet the Lord told me that the REASON 'WHY' he sadly had gotten early Parkinsins Diseade AND passed away BECAUSE he was basically sorta 'playing around with' these UNholy spiritual stuff that was actually demonic, in nature {irregardless of what ANY person personally believes...its God's HOLY WORD that ALWAYS & ONLY stands...but sadly, even tho NOT intentionally trying to make any mistake, nevertheless...it somehow opened a demonic portal and then he was attacked, as a result. The ONLY ONLY ONLY 'Spiritual-stuff' that anybody should ever be dabbling with should ONLY come FROM the HOLY BIBLE...ONLY BY/ONLY FROM God's HOLY-SPIRIT...Amen...
Larry needed to speak on the whole mystic vibe that EW&F induced...the album covers, haunting lyrics, all that stuff...it went deep, and tuned me in to Egyptology..🤔
It’s really great to have a spiritually Center wife (Proverbs 31 )
Where is this version on Reasons

I’d like to know Larry’s relatives , whether they might be related to my family. My dad, Theoda Dunn WHO’s parents are from Arkansas. My name is Quincy Dunn, had some interest in musical instruments and singing gospel songs; my first CD in titled “ Lord You within me”. , produced by Aaron Lindsay. I would like to meet Larry Dunn, and learn more about him
Did he say he met her when he was 20, and she was 15?
