I see no lies told! EWF has been doing it for 50 years! Not many bands can say this. Even with the passing of its leader, Maurice White, EWF carries on with his legacy.
Earth wind and fire, there will never be another group like it, every song was a hit, 2019, R.I.P Maurice, thank you an God Bless you for sharing your gift of song an music
Another SOULFUL time Chaka and Earth Wind and 🔥 get up and get up and get it on!!! If you can take it. You can’t hide when yo soul is on fire. I don’t care what color you are. Soul is soul no one can take soul from you.

I'm so GRATEFUL they did this before Maurice passed away...I HAVE FOREVER LOVED THESE GUYS at the age of 10 to my now 47 years on God's green EARTH😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🙌🏾
Y'all to be honest I'm over here literally crying because that song You Can't Hide Love brings back happy times when I was a lil boy my dad had a music promotion business in Youngstown Ohio and we moved there from western Pennsylvania in the early 70s and he would play earth wind and fire ALL THE TIME and he had the 8track record stereo he had his chair on one side I had my lil chair on the other side and use to wait til he got home to play that beautiful music and looking at this clip just made more morbid because Gerald Levert Barry White and Maurice White are no longer here RIP and my dad RIP is no longer here this was a sad yet a joy to watch and a celebration at the same time. One love.
I remember hearing the song “reasons” for the first time when I was 7yrs old in 1977, I was hooked after hearing that song having no idea who made it I just know it sounded good and as I got older I finally found out about the group EWF......been my favorite band ever since and I have all there music and still listen to them to this day my all time songs are “can’t hide love”, “would you mind” and “reasons”.....I’m definitely old school.
Oh man my brother had those 8 tracks. We would jam for hours. I was in junior high school but loved Phillip’s Baileys voice, that funky bass, the horns … killer band.
Damn that's the first time I've seen Chaka Khan sing Fantasy. Two of my all time favorite R &B performers. Chaka & EWF. I was one of those that had EWF in 8 track Steve Harvey.
Man I started listening to them like at 11 or 12..I'll be 58 this year.. I easily have listened to them 3-5 times a week my whole life.. symphony of my life
I remember my first time ,1975. I was a camp counselor for underprivileged kids from Boston. We were a mixed group of teens and young adults who just loved our kids and each other! WE were playing records outside on the real merry-go-round!#AGASSIZVILLAGE . The Cabin masters redid the area where the carousel 🎠 was and i was instantly transported back in time. This was also the era of integration and bussing in the city! I used to take the subway in to the "more inner city aka projects" during the year to see my friends! That is what music can do. We were kids who just loved even when the "adults" did not! I was then in the US NAVY in the 80's and EWF, Luther, Anita Baker ,Whitney , Chaka etc were a soundtrack and the music brought people to the floor and each other!RIP MR MAURICE WHITE. You made my life more valuable by teaching me to #livecolorblind.We all need to understand that in this time! 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡 💘
@@1stltwife Such a beautiful sentiment and experience..I so agree, it brought so many of us together from different backgrounds!! We need more people like you Gretchen!!

Same here. 58. Growing up in the Deep South as a white dude, I’m thankful I was introduced to all this music by my black friends at that time. Even though I’ve gotten into lots of newer music over the years and even enjoying a lot of what the kids are playing these days (you’re never old hearted, like EWF says) I often listen to EWF and other funky music. Verdine is amazing. Ever thankful for these brothers in spirit.
Wow!. Yo. Steve. EARTH WIND and FIRE 🔥.!!! I'm sitting here. Listening. Ruminating. Feeling feelings I felt when I FIRST heard those songs. TIMELESS BRO. Ain't but a few. Musicians or songs that can do that for me. I went so far down memory lane that I feel YOUNG right now. (And I'm 63.) Bro. My whole day. Has changed. Thank you.
It was around 1975, I operated and listened to what I was forbidden to do by my big brother, Ernest (I was home alone). I snuck into the living room, turned on stereo record player with the HUGE towers, opened that album with that sexy woman inside, clamped on those EXPENSIVE cushioned head phones, and put the needle on the song "Shining Star". (Dunk-a-dunk-dunk dunk...) I closed my eyes. Oh, my Lord! I was in the studio with Earth, Wind, and Fire!! ...and I smiled.
My very first concert was seeing Earth Wind and Fire at Madison Square Garden on my birthday in 1976, I watched from the rafters as that band rocked the house and did an anchor that caused a packed house to lose they're minds! I became a musician because of that one night of performance excellence
v-el-vet Wynn : I would like to have seen Mary J. Blige up there with Gerald Levert instead. Those two together...with that energy?! It would have been OVER!
I AM A ONE HUNDRED PERCENT E W F FAN SINCE 1971 !!! I remember when the all music Power was changed to Africana, I love 💗 Fantasy but, the song that made me come to my senses, go to college and, GRADUATE was SATURDAY NITE because I realized that life is just a day!
Amen. I'm happy to be 86 and have experience the greats that I have. In heaven I pray a gold have voice es like Phillip & Eddie. Eddie of the original temps. No one hits those notes like those 2. Anne for those 2 this on my play list under history and soul
Earth Wind and Fire are the greatest and hotest group ever there will never be another especially MAURICE WHITE he was a genious one that cannot be replaced but I know he is smiling down on them as they carry on his legacy and music 🎵🎶 that he created and group he formed so in heaven your music 🎵🎶 will ring 💍 forever so RIP MAURICE WHITE
Amen shock a kahn is the best since years my heart mind and soul always believe in god Amen ! 59 years my heart mind and soul always believe in god Amen JoAnne yes !
Don't do that. Chaka's voice wasn't 100% but she improvised with what she had and did damn good. Philip couldn't touch Chaka with a 10 foot pole to this day.
Chaka Khan, singing "Fantasy" in a tribute to Earth Wind & Fire, while the late great Barry White snaps his fingers. Young people, y'all don't know.
Have MERCY🙌🏾
Keith A. Sanford oh I know
Amen!

I'm only 25 wish I could had seen them at their height, I still think Earth Wind & Fire dont get the justice they deserve
Look them update😊
Verdine's bass playing is legendary!
EWF has MESMERIZED us musically for decades! They have been absolutely fantastic! To listen to any of their albums has been an experience!
I see no lies told! EWF has been doing it for 50 years! Not many bands can say this. Even with the passing of its leader, Maurice White, EWF carries on with his legacy.
The best ❤ never be another band like them

Before Beyonce there was Chaka Kahn! She still has that beautiful smile! That melt our hearts back in the day! I salute her!
I don't think Bey voice is up there like that though
What's so great about Beyonce??? I can't see it!

Her smile is sexy asf... Still

So grateful to my big bro for taking me to see EWF in 1981 at the forum in L.A. I was a wide eyed 12 year old experiencing my first concert.
The late great Barry White was there that night!
Oh Damn where have I been, I didn't know he passed, I just finished listening to some Barry too SAD...
Since the early 70's
..I fell in love with earth wind and fire
Chaka kahn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ...now she sang that song Fantasy soooooo good Phillip Bailey would be proud ❤💯
This was awesome! Real music and real performances! I remember this was apart of the 2002 BET Awards.

Always getting goosebumps when I hear Keep Your Head to The Sky...
A year later and already forgot I already saw this video and that commented, I was about to comment the same exact comment lol
Im here every year bro
Tomorrow's Versuz is gonna so memorable.
Man that was a REAL jam session
Earth, Wind & Fire discovered a young David Copperfield & he created those amazing entrances & departures from the stage.
I remember hearing the song “reasons” for the first time when I was 7yrs old in 1977, I was hooked after hearing that song having no idea who made it I just know it sounded good and as I got older I finally found out about the group EWF......been my favorite band ever since and I have all there music and still listen to them to this day my all time songs are “can’t hide love”, “would you mind” and “reasons”.....I’m definitely old school.
Indeed. We seem to be same era.

Watching this in 2019 🙌🙌
2020
Fantasy was like tailor-made for Chaka Khan.
Cak Redi : Al B. Sure! would have torn that up too. He sounds like Phillip Bailey, and the late Nate Dogg (R.I.P.) sounded like Maurice White.
I have to disagree. Chaka's was a lil off. And her performance lacked energy. Now Gerald SANG Earth Wind and Fire the way it was suppose to be SANG...
@@yourwhateverhomegirlIt sounded like she needed some water or tea. Maybe she was sick
I remember this!!! R.I.P. Gerald LeVert❤️❤️
Gerald LeVert
It was nice seeing Barry White in a small clip
aw snap! when?
I was fortunate enough to have seen Barry open for EWF 1999 shoreline amphitheater.
Very refreshing, I say. Very refreshing! That man had a presence😌.
@@xalk311x any videos you can recommend for me to see that scene?
Omgggg Gerald Levert and tweet looking phenomenal!!! Praise the Lord for Chaka Kahn’s voice!!!
Chaka, the great!!
Great seeing Chaka hit that song Fantasii!!!!! Wow

I'm sitting here.
Listening.
Ruminating.
Feeling feelings I felt when I FIRST heard those songs.

Thank you.
The greatest band ever! I knew when I heard " I think about loving you"
Where have all the flowers gone bad jam
Performances here are unbelieveable!!!! Wow....
Back when celebrities were so real and really wanted to enjoy seeing each other perform and win
It was around 1975, I operated and listened to what I was forbidden to do by my big brother, Ernest (I was home alone).

It was 2003
That wasn't Ralph Johnson at 0:40, it was Fred White, Maurice and Verdine's younger brother.

Chaka Khan is a great vocalist, but she just proved how great of a vocalist Philip Bailey is. 😉
Don't do that. Chaka's voice wasn't 100% but she improvised with what she had and did damn good. Philip couldn't touch Chaka with a 10 foot pole to this day.
Hes Eddies son RIP Gerald sounds just like Eddie he got it from his daddy😊🌹🎈
