Long after EW&F is gone, when they place this song 100,000 years or more in the future, it will still be killing it. People will be rocking to this regardless of how old this song gets. It is timeless.
yeah, many musics from that Era (60's-70's to early 2000's) are untemporal, peoples would probably remind them even in one centuries while many todays songs are forgotten only few years after their released.
Rest In Peace 🙏 Fred White. Drummer of Earth, Wind & Fire. Fred always kept the groove in the pocket. His contributions of musical talent to the powerful sound of this band remain unparalleled. Like Maurice always taught me "In Love We Stand" 🌎🙌
Maurice isn't in Paradise / but he'll soon be along with Billions when our King Jesus gives the call to rise and shine on a paradise earth where sickness and death will cease to exist (John 5:28,29 & Acts 24:15) Yes, The Resurrection Hope!!
I do care and you are suoer lucky to have a grandma telling you stories abuit this fantastic group. By the way, who is the one your grandma went to school with? I' d like to know. Hugs from Italy ❤❤
It's incredible to think that "Shining Star" by Earth, Wind & Fire is already turning 50 years old! Released in January 1975, this track stands out for its infectious energy and inspiring lyrics, hallmarks of the band's unique sound. An interesting fact is that Maurice White conceived the idea for the song while walking at night during recordings at Caribou Ranch, inspired by looking up at the starry sky.
True, though when I was working site security downtown Portland Oregon, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic played at Pioneer Square. At the end of his set, him, the band, and everyone in attendance wove past my building in a conga line, drums and horns playing full volume. I had to go outside to watch. Noted in the log: "Disturbance registered on cameras and electronic door monitors. There was no Disturbance. It was simply a conga line led by George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic." When the building manager saw the log, he wanted my security company to submit me for a psyche evaluation, until the local news mentioned it.
I like how they threw that rockabilly guitar intro, you almost think you're going to be hearing a country song, then it switches up to a brass three piece. Masterpiece.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Used to dance to this on the jukebox when I had My job as a pizza chef with the whole restaurant to myself I’d just JAM OUT! This song makes me love life
If this wasn't at the end of every single black movie. If it wasn't at the credits, it was at the very end when the main character shows what all of the characters in the movie have been up to after the events of the movie 😂😂😂
This song is very strong. In my opinion it has to do with our development as human beings. It inspires some to discover their true potentials. People nowadays don’t believe in themselves. We all have this untapped potential, some people die not knowing it. A few people we call geniuses have discovered that secret. We are all shining stars. Like you said, song like these are barely found nowadays. Most of the songs today all they talk about are materialistic things.
Amazing when you listen to EWF how tight and great all the components of the band were. The vocals of course but the horns, the keyboards, the guitars and the bass all outstanding great performers all coming together jamming full blast. Even decades later this great sound of so many musicians coming together is amazing.
The year was 1975 , I was grooving at the local roller disco club. It was ran by a dude called goldmember. All of a sudden to the entrance of the club was a groovy looking lowrider with pink fur interior. A pimp stepped out of the ride , he had glasses, looked british , and had some amazing moves
Awesome,Awesome. A time when music was presented by those who loved it, and were gifted and wanted others to love it, too!❤ Thanks EWF! Your music is timeless.
"Shining Star" goes down as EWF's biggest hit of the '70s: February 8, 1975, it debuted; remaining on the charts 15 wks.; reaching #1 R&B and Pop on the Billboard Singles Charts, within weeks 1 another!!
RIP Mr. Maurice White. You truly was a shining star on earth and now you will be a shining star in heaven forever. Thank you for music that was the soundtrack of my youth.
Visiting upon hearing of the loss of Fred White from this planet. Rest in peace one of the greatest pop rock & funk drummers that ever lived. Much gratitude: lots of yearning and lots of learning... a shining star!
This was the bomb man. I saw Earth Wind and Fire a few years ago and we were all dancing throughout the entire time they sang. They brought it on that night. Wooooh!
70's were awesome. I totally loved the music. You could hear EWF, Parliament, Commodores and then Doobie Brothers, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, and Boston. All on the same radio station. This song reminds me of Friday and Saturday night skating sessions at Ice Unlimited in Richmond Va.The 70's had it going on.
Until RUclips came along, truly nothing rivaled 70s AM radio for depth and quality of music. I'm always able to find something excellent here. Shout out to all posters! Thank you!!!
Another sad day in the music world. 2016 has seen the loss of many great artists that performed during a time when the competition compelled musicians to create the best music ever. What we are left with are so called performers that have to rely on sampling and visuals to make their music viable. Maurice White continued to perform even after being diagnosed with Parkinsons. True conviction and courage which is sorely lacking now. Glenn, David, Paul, Maurice- We miss you!
god damn this bass and drums are crazy. I'm 27 and it's the first time I've heard this song. Was searching songs in the key of E Major and found this. Mind blowing.

Quite simply...... it`s nearly three minutes of pure soul/funk genius.
Sad that Funk and Soul kinda got swallowed by hip hop. It rears it's beautiful head on occasion though.
