Phillip Bailey's falsetto is everything! I love Earth, Wind, and Fire! They are the top of the top of all those great seventies bands with the great horn and percussion sections!! Everything they touched was gold!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of THE greatest bands in MUSIC period!! Philip Bailey, Maurice White two of the greatest vocalists and musicians of all time.... I've always loved this album cover, classic music right here!!
Continue your journey with the elements of the universe...EARTH, WIND, and FIRE!! The Gratitude live version is a classic. But, really...go see them in concert LIVE!! It's real transforming...how lucky I was able to see them live in 5 decades!! The GOAT band!!
Still can't believe this song is 50 years old now. This song was one of the catalyst of creating what is now known as the Quiet Storm sub-genre of R&B, which was invented at Howard University. When this song came out, people kept calling the radio station from the dorms to get Melvin Lindsay (RIP) to keep playing this song on repeat (yeah I'm sure you can figure out why, LOL).
My favorite band of all time. Philip Bailey is a badass man. My childhood in music right here. You're a beautiful young lady spread this music I'm here with ya
It's one thing to hear Phillip Bailey sing the recording, but when he sings it live and puts some soul into it, that's vibe hit different frfr. I experienced that 40 years ago.
Hello young lady, if you like this version of Reasons you should check out their live album Gratitude I think it came out in 1975 on their live tour. The whole album is beautiful! Have a Friday and weekend🌜🌌🎼👍😎☮️ Oh and I love your show, keep up the good work!👍😎☮️
I'm late to your channel but I have been watching your react to EW&F and I love that you love them as much as my generation still does. They are ICONS and LEGENDS. They are our beloved cherished group.
This is one of those very few instances where the "Live" version of the song is MUCH better than the "Studio" version. The studio version actually leaves you disappointed. lol!
Philip Bailey says he happy that people love the song. He found out that fans have actually gotten married and used this song. He realized people didn’t listen to the lyrics.
Maurice White is legendary !! He's on my Mount Rushmore of music. He can write lyrics, compose the music, play multiple instruments, sing, engineer and produce. You can barely count on one hand, the number of individuals in American music, that excel at those aforementioned disciplines.
love EWF! you would also like Tower of Power-Attitude Dance, or Average White Band- If I Ever Lose This Heaven. i really enjoy your reactions! Thank you!
My favorite song of all time❤❤❤❣️ I first fell in love with the live version, but over the years the studio version is now my #1!! The arrangement, instrumentation, musicianship, and emotion is par none!!!
I’ve heard this song, of course I have, but I never listened to it. I couldn’t have even told you who the artist was. In fact, I had to play the video to be sure I knew it. It seems like music just played on the radio for me, I never looked into the artists or bought albums, unless it was a greatest hits album. So I missed out on a lot of great music growing up and now there is no more great music (imo!) So I’m rediscovering the oldies along with the younger generation. 🤷♀️😄
THIS IS TOO WONDERFUL>>>SEE GABRIEL HENRIQUE FROM GOT TALENTS! It's great Ashley to see your vibe with Philip Bailey, I love it so much. black music is wonderful.
Just came across your channel and your reactions are too funny. you have been reviewing some classics. My favorite is luther vandross the naacp awards tribute to dionne warwick. keep up the good work new subscriber here!
I absolutely love this song but it not quite what most people think it’s about. If you listen to the lyrics carefully, according to a interview that Phillip Bailey the lead singer of EWF, this song was about meeting a one night stand. The phrase “ love have been played “ was about convincing a woman to go home with you that night. Then he saids“ in the morning after the love games have been played and all of our dillusions will just go away “. Lol
I used to wonder sometime about efw live performances, if some parts were Memorex lol. like when they would sing boogie wonderland you can hear the emotion's background vocal parts from the original song. anyone ever questioned that.
HI Ashley can you do I can't get over you by the Dramatics . Would love to know what you think. Earth wind in first was way far before their time incredible group. Peace and one love 💘 thanks love your reaction videos ❤❤❤.
Phillip Bailey's falsetto is everything! I love Earth, Wind, and Fire! They are the top of the top of all those great seventies bands with the great horn and percussion sections!! Everything they touched was gold!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The greatest hook-up song made!✊🏿
Military days overseas (70's) homesick as hell listening to cuts like this!! Ahhh the memories!! #MilitaryLife🇺🇲hooah!! 👌

I'm late to your channel but I have been watching your react to EW&F and I love that you love them as much as my generation still does. They are ICONS and LEGENDS. They are our beloved cherished group.
You should hear the live version! Top Shelf performance by Phillip Bailey!

I'am 66 and you had to be there to really feel it ,the best love making song there is. 4LIFE styles 504 1981 Z28 red on red
This is one of those very few instances where the "Live" version of the song is MUCH better than the "Studio" version. The studio version actually leaves you disappointed. lol!
You a whole vibe lady
slowly your catching up...a few more bangers to the soul and I will be your #1 cash app requester.. she is almost woke yaw lol. loving it!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Philip Bailey says he happy that people love the song. He found out that fans have actually gotten married and used this song. He realized people didn’t listen to the lyrics.
The live version(not the live video) is soooo much better! I love this song but not the live video. Lol
Check out Fantasy by earth wind and fire! You'll have this song on REPEAT
Listen to this live version and hear Phillip and the Saxophonist go head to head. FIRE TO THE SOUL
Maurice White is legendary !! He's on my Mount Rushmore of music. He can write lyrics, compose the music, play multiple instruments, sing, engineer and produce. You can barely count on one hand, the number of individuals in American music, that excel at those aforementioned disciplines.
love EWF! you would also like Tower of Power-Attitude Dance, or Average White Band- If I Ever Lose This Heaven. i really enjoy your reactions! Thank you!
My favorite song of all time❤❤❤❣️
I first fell in love with the live version, but over the years the studio version is now my #1!!
The arrangement, instrumentation, musicianship, and emotion is par none!!!
Earth wind an Fire the coolest band
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Don Myrick on the alto horn
He plays so beautiful, don't you agree?
I’ve heard this song, of course I have, but I never listened to it. I couldn’t have even told you who the artist was. In fact, I had to play the video to be sure I knew it. It seems like music just played on the radio for me, I never looked into the artists or bought albums, unless it was a greatest hits album. So I missed out on a lot of great music growing up and now there is no more great music (imo!) So I’m rediscovering the oldies along with the younger generation. 🤷♀️😄
You should go back and listen to the extended version. Phillip Bailey demonstrates his falsetto more along side of a saxophone solo.
I have that original's Long Play since 1975!!
Beautiful!
You need to do the live version!
"King Osirus" (NOW)->I'm Craving Your Body, Is This Real? ->Temperature Rising, I Dont Wanna Feel, ->I'm In The Wrong Place To Be Real?
You need to check out their song Fantasy too👍🏿
There are people that come to their concerts with their grandchildren because they are feeling EWF too. What other groups could say the same?
The live version the best
THIS IS TOO WONDERFUL>>>SEE GABRIEL HENRIQUE FROM GOT TALENTS! It's great Ashley to see your vibe with Philip Bailey, I love it so much. black music is wonderful.
Ashley, you'r looking good baby!
You are one of my favorite reacters you take me back to when these songs came out thanks for the memories.
Awww I appreciate the kind words and happy I was able to do that! 🥰 a thank you for watching and supporting my channel ☺️
I'm an old head! Young woman, I love you energy!!!
Gerald Levert - Baby hold on to me. Casanova and many more.

Much fun! Love you❤
I remember someone said they wanted this song as their wedding song, then they found out it was about a one night stand.
Now you know why we were making so many babies. EW&F is a very deep hole. Keep going. You won't be disappointed.
You should've played the long version, "Reasons" ending with "It's All About Love" with the smooth sax interlude. About 10 minutes long.
When you could make a song about a one night stand sound classy.
👍🏾👍🏾
These lyrics had to come from a real situation. Temptation is a monster. Like George Duke's No rhythm no reason.
That’s the way of the world EWF.
Gotta listen to "Devotion" too! You will love it!
Their were also referred to as the three elements.
Group call War Deliverance of the word War😊😊😊😊
You are sooooo friggen FUNNY......and sweet toooo
Miss you have to here the live version yes lm 60 years old
Lenny Williams- Cause I love you.
Mr Phillip Bailey
This was a moms slapper.
Please understand, this is not a love song. It's so beautiful that it feels and sounds like one. It's about a one night stand.
Lovin' You - Gabriel Henrique (Cover Minnie Riperton)
If u like that, then check out the gratitude album. It has the live version of this and devotion.
HI Ashley can you do I can't get over you by the Dramatics . Would love to know what you think. Earth wind in first was way far before their time incredible group. Peace and one love 💘 thanks love your reaction videos ❤❤❤.
Yes, next time do the live version
