Today, 45 years ago, September 23 is my wedding anniversary. I met my husband in a night club in 1973. This song was playing, he came up to my table and asked me to dance. The rest is history. Married September 23, 1975.
Lindo o enredo.
Felicidades sempre
Magical times.
My son was born in September 23rd and he calls "September" his song. His sister always reminds him that is birthday is NOT on the 21st.

Rob Matthews GOD YES THE BEST BAND EVER AND THEY WERE TRUE MESSENGERS OF THE UNIVERSE!
I agree the G.O.A.T

"THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD" - one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Been an Earth Wind & Fire fan since 1975.
This has no expiration date
I'm right there with ya!
THE GREATEST BAND HANDS DOWN, MUSIC THAT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BY THE WORLD!
Truth!!!! I can still listen to that album and every song is a Jam on "That's the Way of the World"
Amen!
AMEN!!
Will be forgotten by the racists FFS
I got to meet the whole group In the summer of 1977 they had a concert in Miami and they stay at the hotel I work at the Sundre Shop Maurice White was so nice he gave me his autograph and told the whole group to sign their autograph too. I still have it to this day.
AWESOME. What a treasure. I bet it means more to you TODAY than it did when those autographs were signed. God bless!
Who's watching this priceless gem in 2019 🔥😍❤

Maurice White touched millions around the world. Crossed over racial and ethnic barriers, incorporated various styles of music to create the unique sound of Earth, Wind & Fire. Maurice White = LEGEND
And that he did.
+MrPatricioG I wouldn't be surprised if "Brazilian Rhyme" is not the unofficial national anthem of Brasil.
Maurice White......Legend......indeed!
Derr Johnston LP
Undisputed.
if it were not for this band I don't know how my life would have turned out. I play congas, kalimba, bass and drums thanks to ewf.
Same here. I was a sort of lost soul looking for a guide, then I heard and listened to EWF Open Our Eyes. I can't explain how or why but Devotion said something about true character. Children are born good, but life changes things if you let it. Don't let the world change your mind. Stay true. It just meant a lot in a world full of meanness and selfishness and made all the difference. He was an excellent guide. Thanks Maurice. Until we meet, RIP.
Ditto. Discovered them in early seventies as a teenager. Haven't been the same since. The E, W and FFanatic!
Feel the same
Any of y’all in Northern California?
I have a need for musicians for May 2020 wedding.
They got me through
A levels in England, not that that did me a lot of good, when I had a bad cold, 1976.
Listening to this in 2020 is extremely necessary, some hope to bring things back around
I think I'm gonna cry... this is the soundtrack of my life... this is my safe place ... Maurice ... thank you
Me too 1 love
Absolutely ❤
Same here,, R.I.P. Dean G. Allen ,,my daddy introduce this song to me 32 years ago,, album,,,😢
My mother passed away 17 years ago this month. When I was little, we never missed a chance to sing EWF together, it was her favorite band. I love you girl! (Thanks for the post!)
So sorry for your loss... Y'all beautiful memorys lives on with u. R.I.P to your momma
@Akua....Beautiful story, sorry for your loss..
I sincerely hope that you see your mom again in the resurrection, that the Bible speaks of.
My Dad is going on too 8 yrsand this was his favorite band
MAURICE WHITE....THE KING OF GROOVE
Just watching this, makes me cry!!! We lost another true icon, Maurice White!!!
RIP Maurice. You did well.
The 70's was a great time to be a kid. These guys heroes to me. I used to love to watch my parents dance to this. "Real Talent"! 😬 Love Y'all EWF
I'm watching 2020 who else is joining me ? 💋
I am watching this in 2020 and I will be watching it forever...
Me. B1✊🏾
I’m with you I am a big fan of Earth,Wind and Fire
Me as well how can you not!
2020 and STILL
As a child everytime this song played I cried each time and didn't know why. Think I was just awed at its supreme beauty. As an adult with a child it takes on a whole different meaning😍 and these are more different tears. Thank you Mom and Dad for giving me the gift of EW&F. Forever in my heart and soul 💜
I lived in Hawaii from 74-78 and bought this album while I was there. Maurice White is simply one the best front men in music history. God truly blessed this man!
Agreed ❤
Those Were My Spiritual BIG BROTHAS and My Childhood Inspiration.Missed those Guy's.Rest in Peace and ETERNAL Power Big Brotha Elder Maurice White.
I seen comment's like mine all the time but never have said it myself but how and the hell can anyone thumbs down this ,sure glad I was age 10 in 1973. This music its my music and I'm a rock kid at heart. EWF & Chicago - Issac Hayes + KC all that stuff am radio at its finest.
They should play this intro to start every music class!!! From early grade school all the way through college
Agreed. . .Born in '73 and My Father hipped me to the amazing EW&F at the age of 5. They stay in constant rotation on my mp3 player.
#Facts
word
Without a doubt!!
Yes lord!
Positive. Uplifting. Eternal. Peace and Blessings. Earth Wind & Fire.
Beautiful music, beautiful group EWF ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I miss them and their hayday, they will always be the "BEST" group ever! 💯
MY SON ASKED ME WHY I'M ALWAYS PLAYING EWF SO MUCH AND SO LOUD....HE JUST DON'T KNOW
Sapphire p chances are, his son will be asking him the same question when he gets of age....
Your son is going to find out this secret when he gets older and starts listen to EWF himself because once upon a time his father opened up a magic box.
BECAUSE son EWF are the best MUSICIANS this side of HEAVEN.
@@matslarsson3452 I hope that one day my son has the same experience I had, too.
Stormy weather can't get in the way no matter what the problem is as long as you got the ELEMENTS.
I would have given anything to be an observer of this jam session. EWF the greatest band ever. Peace and Blessings.
People hate on this movie, but this opening sequence is outstanding. Great direction and cinematography, showing what it might have been like in the studio with such an amazing band. And the joy on their faces while playing seems real. Don't you wish you were there with them?
It took a lot of courage for Maurice to attend Parkinson's is a very debilitating disease. I'm so proud of him he's my hero and has been for 45 yrs. EWF music changed my life, for that I wanna say thank you..💯💯👌✌
Was my favorite band, and then along P-FUNK, but I still love WWF, George Clinton once said dirt poor & hot air, my first 45 record shining star and the jacksons 5 dancing machine 1973-74 !
RIP Maurice White.
+Andre Roberts I just heard about this. He was an awesome musical talent who will be missed.
Indeed
+JIm Santos I knew something was bad when I turned on Steve Harvey and he was about to cry.
+Mark Jones That Steve Harvey tribute was GREAT though!
+S Boyd Yes! His tribute was awesome!! I cried getting ready for work...on the drive to and during lunch looking at the videos on You Tube... Like my favorite Uncle passed... that's how i really feel.
I literally have tears in my eyes. Grew up on the Element's music. Greatest band ever.
FACTS !!! My Brother..
I feel you my brother.
Exactly. Every time.
We Are Blessed
God bless Maurice White ! He made our world a better place .EWF ! One of the all time greatest! RIP !
That is the most beautiful song ever made.
wish I could get this version of the song with the instrumentals at the beginning of the song. LOVE IT!! EWF is my all time favorite group!!
It was so nice to see Maurice young and vital because the last tribute I watched for Earth Wind & Fire it was like he didn't know where he was and I cried and I cried as I am now he was quite a man who created a legendary band whose sound will never die so much of their music was so spiritual and now he's gone back to where that music was created RIP Maurice White
I pray that Maurice White will receive a rich welcome into God's eternal kingdom and be given a big hug by the Lord Jesus Christ and enjoy his reward in heaven.
we lost the heart and soul of ewf and there will never be anyone to replace him. maurice white is ewf.
Maurice had that heavenly voice. He should live forever
THAT BASS LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Orlando Stylwalker Verdine White did the awesome bass line.
hell yeah...and that bass line was the blueprint for a lot of other bass lines and bass players, from other songs in the following years
Thank you Mr. Maurice White. Your unique talent and spiritual insight was woven into something so magical and inspirational, that it truly helped to shape the person I grew up to be ... a person for whom increased wisdom, kindness, self-confidence, love for and empathy toward the struggles faced by my fellow man is paramount. To further these goals in my life, your music was key ... "keep your head to the sky" and may you rest in eternal peace always.
+katsleggs Thank you for putting in words what Maurice brought to the world and to us. You are absolutely right, he shaped our mind and hearts. Somehow we are children of Maurice White.
katsleggs You put in words exactly what EWF means to me sister katsleggs.
TheTilde We Are, We’re the children of EW&F & the enteral dance !!!
@@TheTilde exactly right
I've never known or seen this movie but just this seen touched my soul and my heart! There will NEVER be another man like the great Maurice White . There will never be another group like EARTH , WIND ,& FIRE!
They were ahead of their time back then and still are now. GOAT.
Summer vacation in Los Angeles 1973. Listened to this song on the drive up, around and back home again. Great little vacation with my Dad, brothers Lee, Phillip, Gary and sister Carolyn. Dad took us to see an old friend of his, Delbert Hodge. I'm only 12, but his wife was the most beautiful black woman I ever saw, until her UCLA graduate daughter walked in! Every woman, girl back home would be a let down after that!!! Great memories. RIP Maurice, Andrew, and Don!
This song was released in 1975

HARVEY KEITEL LOVES EARTH WIND AND FIRE, THE GREATEST GROUP OF ALL TIMES!
"Mighty Mighty" came out when I was in the 7th grade. I was dumbstruck at the beauty of the song and the message in the lyrics. I went out and bought all their prior albums and all of their subsequent ones. I grew up with EWF and, when they came to town (which was once per year back in the day), I went to ALL the concerts--like 3 nights in a row. They were a class act. I remember their Spirit album tour and the one that Doug Henning helped out with the stunning magic tricks. What a spectacle. But the main thing I want to say is this: I can vividly recall that during my high-school years, I would study their lyrics and I aways considered them like my 3rd parent; they taught me so much and had a profound effect on my philosophy of life and way of thinking. Because of the great Maurice White, they were spiritual--what a gift they gave to their fans. He will be missed.
niefbd I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard “Mighty Mighty” I was blown away.
Dubai Silk Route yep! You could smell the funk from across the street (so to speak) I bought the 45 and the LP was one if my first LPs I ever bought. 😃
Omg‼️I feel soo sorry for the young people of the day. They’ll never know the true POWER of Love in music. I was 7 years old when this song was out. Always loved it. Long Live Earth Wind and Fire. RIP Maurice White🙏🏾
Ms.Sandie,you are 💯 percent correct!They just simply don't understand!!!Not to mention the absolute raw talent that came with the magical music that we enjoyed!No instrumental gimmicks,no lip-sincing,no recordings.Either you had it or you didn't!!!!!
This scene of them in the studio is 🔥 I would have loved to have been able to sit in on the session to watch and listen. This song reminds me of the days where I had no worries and life seemed free of hard times.
My teenage years, slow dancing, falling in love, crying, laughing and falling in love again..their music always playing in the background. Every song a main event in my foolish young life
same here...their albums are the soundtrack of my life
Well said.
Speak sista
Please what are you 23 years old
@Your Messiah Gosh, I may have read that wrong, feel bad for my sniping reply😢. The world can do with less of my negativity
The very humble beginnings of an amazing group and its genius leader. Thank you, Mr. Maurice White. Rest in Paradise, Sir.
Without a doubt, EW&F used to put on the best live performance show I've ever seen!
Bishop Guy Washington used to??? You must not have seen them lately...... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bishop Guy Washington and everyone always leaves their concerts happy!
Maurice, you gave us the eternal dance.
RIP Maurice... We'll all meet up with you Soon. We Love You! Your music brought us so much JOY. Thank you!
Maurice White💋 aka 💖King of the 70s💕 forever in our hearts💞
2024 who wit me.....prosperity for us all yall.
They were so young and free back then. The 70's were the best because of EWF. Maurice, you will always be the man! Love all of you :=)
REAL MUSIC there.....!!! Rest In Paradise Maurice White THANK YOU!
I wasn’t even born in the 70s but this song just reminds me of a hot summer day in New York in the 70s, kids playing hop scotch drinking cold sodas eating ice pops, jumping rope, playing basketball, just a kick back kinda song
Mars. Your imagination is spot on! Yeah, it was a lot like that. A different world and a different time.
I am a big EWF fan, and I read that this movie was nowhere to be seen. Interesting how it resurfaced. I had a chance to meet Verdine White and is the nicest person on Earth. When I asked about Maurice, he said to me "He is doing wonderful!! Thank you so much for asking about him. I really appreciate it." Talk about I lost my mind when I met him. Musically, these guys are real legends.
i had the honor of meeting Maurice maybe 12 or 15 years ago. i was at his house for work and we were in his garage. He was sick and it was obvious but still completely lucid. We talked about scope of work and his touring cases were in his garage. We finished the contract and as i left I had to say to him as a 40 year old white man what a profound effect he had on my life and what an honor it was to meet him...the man said no it was an honor to meet me and gave me a slight bow...this song never fails to bring water to my eyes. pure love to all who have the good fortune to find it.
This movie has been currently playing on a cable channel. I have Xfinity and it's been on ScreenPix Voices. I have watched it several times. I love it.
I'm very glad someone posted this clip...many, including myself have never seen this movie!
Me neither. I always knew it was a movie but never saw it.
I had heard the movie was physically lost and never found.
@@Joskemom whats the name of it??
@@stealthyBLK Name of the movie is the same as the title of the song. It is shown on the video.
@@lednails To each his own, man. I loved the movie.
Oh! Baby ... hearing Earth, Wind and Fire with this song transports me to the good times, when I was driving a 1966 Ford Mustang from Tijuana to San Francisco along the Pacific Highway with my girl in the next seat and watching the stars at night reflected in the ocean and without any light around us; Only the dashboard light marked the speedometer and the radio, listening to this great group of the 70's. It was like flying in space in a spaceship, drinking beer, talking, joking, singing and forgetting all the problems of this world ... those great times. In addition to the Pittsburgh Steelers were the team of the decade winning four Super Bowls ... what a great music and wonderful years.
This band of masters help me survive growing up in the streets of Houstons 5th Ward... kept me on the right tracks.
I just love the fact that Maurice and EW&F are in it, along with their music.great movie all around, and the ending is perfect with EW&F on top......
Maravilhoso! Nós aqui no Brasil adoramos esta grande banda!
wish i could have this instrumental...after 37 years since its release and hearing it a countless number of times, i've never heard the strings so prominently featured until now. GREAT ALBUM, i was only 4 when it was released and it has always been a favorite. kudos to maurice white, EWF, and charles stepney
jaymatic23 I was just saying this,where is the instrumental..My God this is music...
Would be great lo listen the backtrack. What a song!!!!
Mr. White and that Kalimba! I miss him so much. I’m glad my family raised me on music such as this! This is one of my fav songs from my idols and favorite band of all time! Classic!
Watch the movie as a kid. Very poorly written. I didn't care though. I was a witness to my musical heros on my regular t.v.........Priceless!!!!!!!
Paul Scott Actually, Robert Lipsyte was/is a very distinguished writer and essayist for The NY Times and Sports Illustrated. Not to mention a few good novels.
This means little more to me than a RUclips clip as far as a movie context. What is the name of the film this clip is from ?
@@MrJmazing1I think the the name of the movie is the same as the song, "That's the Way of the World"
You watched the movie as a kid? Wait. I saw one promo on tv of this movie when I was in high school and then nothing. I then heard years later that no body knows what happened to the film reel and that is why the movie never came out. When I came across this youtube clip of the movie I was damn surprised. This movie came out? I know on the album(yes I still have the album) it says 'from the soundtrack'... I would like to see the movie of my #1 favorite song.
Indeed, I think it was only poorly, shotedly, written and its screenplay only because the money-grubbing Hollywood clans knew that the music, in itself, could still rake them in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$...in the end.
Who is watching in 2020?
I was born in 1975, when music was good music. ☺
The best music era, no doubt.
What a song...I had forgotten about this film...the joy of creating that music.
Verdine White, one of the baddest ass bassist on the planet!
bigtexansfan with the super bad curled permed 'fro in the world.
And one of the most underrated.
I feel like Verdine is unsung!!!
is trash on the bass dude but he's great on the records
Oh. My God! Genius! The best of, all the times. I will remenber. Forever.
This is GOLD!!!!!
Thank you for the memories. You plant a flower and see it grow....that's the way of the world....
I'M BRAGGING. WE GREW UP WITH THE BEST MUSIC. 💙💙💙💙💙💙😊
I miss that smooth, soulful voice of Maurice White. His voice was undervalued, if you ask me. We need that precious voice back. Where is it? I’m searching for it. Come back, Maurice!!! R.I.P. Mr. White!!! We need you back, baby! So badly. Your voice has not been replaced. So classic!!! So missed!!!
I grew up in L.A. and *loved* EWF. I noticed the seminal LP was labeled a soundtrack. I had been dying to see this film, and scoured the L.A. Times. But, despite living in the entertainment capital, I never saw the film advertised, and I did not know whether the film ever went into general release. If it did, the film got yanked too doggone quickly. Super group. Long live EWF. And R.I.P. Mr. Maurice White; you did a LOT OF GOOD on this earth. May the Creator welcome you.
they pushed the album out ahead of the movie so it wouldn't get buried.
way way back, when people were so kool...dam these were the days...RIP MAURICE WHITE
This white boy was blessed enough to be turned on to Gratitude at 9 years old. I raved about EWF for years. Now I listen to their music- closely - and I love it more than every and appreciate how they put it all together.
We come together on a special day / To send a message loud and clear / Looking back we’ve touched on sorrowful days / Future, past just disappear
bein born in 1962 gave me the greatest opportunity of all good times
+jbird Perez born in 62 also....we got the best of it all. .old enough to know 50's and 60's era's...became teens and young adults in the 70's...jammed through our 20's during the 80's...got into hip hop in the 90's....
+jbird Perez
Born in '62 as well. Was there for the best phase in musical history ('75-'80). And the mighty Maurice White was the captain of the ship.
nice ! ! !
+mano a mano wish you my friend more good times ahead ..Peace
+Vince Burden Those were the days.. turn it up !
Thank you so so much for the memories and the the music...
Good night brother White
Why Am I crying? So beautiful seeing all the original members. RIP Maurice White. Your music is the soundtrack to my WHOLE life. I love you and EWF is greatest band ever assembled!
EWF has always been a part of my DNA thanks to my family I’ve been listening to them and loving this band all of my life! ✊🏾🖤
this has been my best group of all time love these guys met them years ago in Greensboro Nc hats off to u guys.
Brilliant extended intro of one of my all time favourite records.
Most of EWF were on 45s stacked up ready to drop. My brother and I would try to sing Shing star for you to see. What your life can truly be. Sweet memories
(1975 People were coming togther thru the music. what a wonderful time! Thanks Maurice and the crew!
and then...What a decade the 70s were!! Then, What the hell happened ??
*One of the BEST bands, ever!!*
*September - Let's Groove (Tonight) - Boogie Wonderland - Saturday Night - Can't Let Go - Got To Get You Into My life - Fantasy - Shining Star - Starlight, and on and on and on. Thank you for adding more Funk to my youth!*
*This particular track has always been one of my SLOW favourites - not just of EWF, but of all time - (and like some of my other favourites of all time) I have always wanted an instrumental version that you could purchase*.
*During the summer of 86, I remember taking this album back out of my collection to play, and for some strange reason, I just couldn't stop re-playing this song. I was almost due my second daughter at the time. I would often be sitting, relaxing and just rubbing my tummy while this was playing. I asked my daughter does this track sound familiar to her in any way, because I used to play over so much in the last few months of my pregnancy - She paused to listen for a number of seconds and said "No", LOL.*
*I then told her (She is settled down with her own young kids, now), that every time I hear this now, I think of her. This is just a personal memory that will always be attached to this song.*
*Sleep well, Maurice - and THANK YOU so much for playing a HUGE part, in leaving me with pleasant musical memories of my youth x*
The spirit of EWF is so unique ... never heard so much harmony between artists
we will never see great soul band like this in the next 100 years
I haven't seen this in 38 years!
EWF is the only reason I sat through Sgt. Peppers, that 3min cameo or so was worth it
Preach brother!
Roland Stone lol...for real...that movie was painful to watch, but they made it worthwhile..."Got To Get You Into My Life" was better than the original...even Paul McCartney himself loved it...
I agree! Their version of Got to Get You into My Life is so much better than the Beatles!
This is a great movie EWF was keeping it real! Time is not a factor for EARTH,WIND &FIRE
Listening to this in 2021.. never seen this version but I was born in 1975 and this became my favorite band. Poor Maurice left us after my dear mother. May they rest in Power♥️♥️♥️
Earth,Wind and Fire is my favorite singer group at all times.I give a lot of credit to my uncle he have me listening to Earth,Wind and Fire they was the first people I have heard 😎
My family knows me as the biggest EWF fan, and I tell them their production of music was my greatest teacher as a Musician/Producer...Once Maurice became to sick to tour, I refused to ever see another EWF concert unless he had returned... . With the absence of his voice and spirit, they will never be the same.
i miss Maurice white and the earth wind and fire band
This just bring back good memories and good vibes and chills to my soul! EWF is LEGENDS! Aw mannn memories of the good times in my childhood!
1972 high school sophomore heard the song head to the sky been my favorite group since that song is truthful it's sad the movie never get out to the general public this guy was a spiritual person 😅
Earth Wind and Fire is one of my all time favorite groups and Harvey Keitel is one of my all time favorite actors Didn't know of this it's gold Thanks😃🎆
Favorite band. So relaxing to listen to.
R.I.P. Maurice, we'll never forget you.
It's impossible to watch this.... and not to cry.
You feel the atmosphere of greatness. The Spirit.
The Pantheon of Eternal Beauty. The Love.
