    When I was your age EWF was a big part of the soundtrack to my life. Yes we had it good! Very hard for me to listen to today’s music now that I don’t have any young people in the house. I always gravitate to MY music. It’s timeless.

    They were very deep into the practice of cultic mysticism. This is why their albums display all of the tell tell signs based on the ancient egytian signs and logos.. Lyrics such as ( " the twelth of never " ) imples no ending to a single year because there are twelve months in a year. There are hidden messegas in many of their songs which all had such a mind blowing melody.. Another reason why everything they did sounded so masterfully perfect is because they were a group sold out to their craft. They would stay in the studio for long hours even all night long all the way to the next day working hard to get everything to sound right. They believed in perfection

    Their goals were to 1) Be the best band in the world, and 2) Never make records in the studio that they couldn't do as good or BETTER in their lives shows without any cheating or lip-synching. That's why if you watch their live version of "Fantasy" from back in the day, it's even better than the studio recording.

Yes, an amazing LP and song! Bailey’s voice took it and the instruments..it’s the everything . I always felt this one was the perfect marriage of their rhythm, messaging and voices; on point taking me on that flight. And ‘12th of never’ is a very old expression that is. Time that never comes to pass, Johnny Mathis had a very popular song of that title.

    I'm sure you've been told by now, but you should absolutely read or listen to Maurice White's autobiography 'My Life With Earth, Wind & Fire'. Everything that Earth Wind & Fire became was exactly how he described it to his boss (Ramsey Lewis) when he told him he was quitting his well paid job as his drummer to start his own band. You asked in a couple videos about what went into the production of the albums. Not only will you learn what technically went into the albums, but also what went into the band...the actual making of it & how it literally grew from a dream Maurice White had to the best band to make music.

I recently rediscovered that song after 40 years of not hearing it and it brought tears to my eyes. I am glad my brother listened to them and was certainly blessed with hearing all of those music changes!!! On this one you hear things on guitars and brass that are rare, like the guttural sounds and the short horn blasts, not to mention the violins. You need to react to the Blaxploitation cinema tracks. They will blow your mind!!!! Later.

    "The best that's ever done this music thing" What a great reaction! If, when asking someone to list their top 5 greatest groups of all time they include EWF, then I know they know music. Otherwise, meh. 😂 So my young brother, you know music.
    You keep referencing this album for good reason as that year it won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.. again proving you know music.
    Btw, when they toured this album. it was mind blowing... I was in college at UNC Chapel Hill when they came to Greensboro auditorium in the late 70's during the tour. The crowd awaiting entry was seismic! Eventually they broke down the doors as everyone was trying to get optimal seats.
    I was almost crushed and wound up in the concert bruised and battered but I didn't care. Everyone still had their tickets in hand as the staff said "f this" and just ran away. Lol.
    Everything about that concert was surreal.. It was one of the best musical experiences of my life. That concert forever changed that coliseum from circus style seating to assigned seating.

    Next level EWF. The song that convinced that "All N' All" was an album to have.
