I'd be honored if some fans of late 70s/early 80s groove classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire on my YT channel in tribute to Maurice White's vocals & production legacy. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe.
Timeless song ! I’m 67 , at the VA in Seattle Hospital with Cancer barely have enough energy to cook dinner and here I am dancing . I’m lying in bed though ….. dancing ! 😂😂😂 Update: 2-14-23 6 months of Chemotherapy failed. Then immunotherapy and CAR-T . Completed CAR-T February 7. Successful!! 🙏🙏 Complete remission. 🙏🙏🙏 Although I can dance on my feet again,, life is still walking on thin ice! ….not knowing if and when the cancer reawakens. Update 2025 ! Happy New Year to everyone ! I made it to another year! Wooohoooo ! God is merciful and loving and kind! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Life was so much more fun then, I grew up playing this superb music and it still cheers me up today! Nothing comes close to this! TURN IT UP LOUD AND ENJOY!
You don't see much brilliance like this anymore. These folks were having a grand time, and it shows. The beauty of the Emotions coupled with the flat-out astonishing greatness of Earth, Wind & Fire makes for a memorable treat for ears & eyes alike. The horns! Those amazing costumes! The energy! How anyone can listen to this song without a smile and a desire to dance is beyond me. R.I.P. Mr. White. You truly were one of a kind.
It’s still there. A lot of people forget that while this song was big, along with others, the majority of music played on the radio was forgettable pop songs. Same thing happens every decade. Some great music that runs in niche circles, and generic trash. Classic example led zeppelin. Incredible music. They were not mainstream. They were popular, but except for a few tracks, their general public exposure was limited. There’s some incredible positive music still made today, both electronic and traditional, but you have to dig a little bit for it. A fantastic radio station in Australia. Kiss dance, very low level radio station dedicated Sunday afternoon from about 1pm to about 4-5 pm to “happy radio” hosted by a disabled individual. Usually just great upbeat music. Both modern and retro. There’s an app for this radio station too so you can listen anywhere you want online.
@@elyastoohey6621 I'm referring to the overall climate that music projected. There seemed to be more of a collective vibe to music whereas nowadays a lot of "pop" songs are more or less part of a marketing package, or branding tool for the artist. There's too much of an emphasis on brand self aggrandizement. I mainly listen to atmospheric "dream" pop these days because creativity and originality still flourishes in that scene. The upside of social media venues like youtube is the ability to give super talented artists who are relatively unknown a venue to express their art.
It's just a pop song. There are plenty of pop songs that give this vibe, your perspective is skewed. This is no different than "Down" by Jay Sean; I like to dance, I'm looking for romance, let's do it.
Hell Dorado It's still hear in us, as long as we keep playing thoses CD'S hearing them on our phone's, sharing them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. Everyone will keep hearing our, there music and maybe some of the other singers might sing them now a day's, as long as they sing them with that same passion and not changing the way we fell in love with this music. I hear them almost every day and I hear my neighbors singing the song's with me. We have to keep them alive. Will that's the way I feel when I put my music. I have a lot of collection of our beautiful music. God bless you and your family always keep safe.
A memorable era when black artists didn't come accross as badasses and thugs. Simple yet not denigrating lyrics. Would incite anyone to dance unlike most of the crap we hear nowadays. RIP Mr White
+CHARLES (CHUCK66) you mean the era where there wasn't any music talking about the real struggle of black people, and just music about having and dancing and sucking dick for coke and crack?
@@TheKing60210 your people make an amazing music, really, they excell at everything they do! Some of my favourite musicians are black and I can say that proudly.
@@Shaqattack1 the song without the words is very uplifting and makes you want to dance.. but after reading the words.. it has a very different energy to it.
I was recently married, and the DJ played this after the reception. I had never seen 800 people run onto the dancefloor so quickly, even disabled people; the whole place was on fire. I wasn't around when this was made, as I wasn't born until 1995, but I love it, and so do my twin baby boys.
Manu Ruiz freedom of expression. Notice disco is danced with both hands thrown up to the air with a big smile while head goes way back. Try it. It works. Love Disco era. Rock killed disco and hip hop slaughtered Rock Who still standing. Winning
@@Debbiestylez hip hop and his listeners didn't kill anything, since who is considered a real hip hop head has a wide open menrality on music in general. All the old men that didn't like the genre made it worse and specific. Moreover hip hop is an art current, because it's not only music, but also dancing (b-boys and breakers) and graphic art (graffiti)
C'était un samedi soir dans les années 90, mes amis et moi avions décidé de nous rendre à la seule boîte de nuit du coin pour la première fois. Une fois à l'intérieur, je fus submergé par les lumières aveuglantes, la musique assourdissante et l'odeur de sueur et d'alcool mêlées. Au début, je me sentais gauche et mal à l'aise au milieu de cette foule. Mais lorsque les premiers riffs funky débordants d'énergie ont retenti, quelque chose s'est éveillé en moi. C'était comme si les vibrations prenaient possession de mes jambes. Un flux de pur bonheur physique m'envahissait. Je me suis mis à danser avec une fougue que je ne me connaissais pas. Un rythme lent et entrainant s'est fait entendre, et j'ai souri, c'était ma chanson préférée ! Dans un tourbillon de grâce étudié et d'abandon juvénile, j'ai alors vécu mes premiers instants d'extase sur la piste de danse. La musique, la chaleur, les corps en mouvement...Tout semblait s'accorder en une merveilleuse symbiose. Ce soir-là, j'ai définitivement pris goût à cette ivresse de la danse qui ne m'a plus jamais quittée.
I didn't appreciate disco when I was a kid but the older I get the more I appreciate that there was a time when people could just dance and be happy being together and having a good silly time.
One of the best bands ever ... They were simply ahead of the pack in what they offered which spanned the genres of Jazz, R&B, Soul, Funk, Disco, Pop, Latin, and Afro Pop. What was great was how the band fused its Kalimba sound, dynamic horn section, energetic and elaborate stage shows. Their costumes would sometimes pay homage to the 70's with its Afri-American style and the outlandish Sci-Fi flair resulting of the flood of space movies. Unforgettable is the contrast between Bailey's falsetto and Maurice's baritone. What a band ... 💖
They all did meditation all on a natural high. I've been backstage a couple of times when I was in college in the 70's when they did alot of college tours back then. Iwould show them the backstage dressing rooms, the warmup rooms and interact with the group. That was the best times for me other than being a musician and a student.
@@oblivionarts5878 Esa es la gracia, te pensas que el ser humano nació para estar cómodo sin calor en los zapatos? es parte de la experiencia, ya que le atribuyas algo bueno o malo es problema tuyo.
What I love about them is they don’t care, they’re having the time of their life on stage and dancing like it’s no one’s business! I hope to achieve this level someday
Everytime you listen to Earth Wind & Fire, you think this is their best one, and then you hear another song from them, and then you think, no this is their best one. They are all master pieces.
Oh I just love them ,if you can't sing and dance to this ..there is something wrong ......and September fabulous too ,just puts you in such a happy place .....boogie on ....E W F epic x
My family and I saw Earth, Wind and Fire in Las Vegas last October 2023. We will never forget that night. I only wish that I had the opportunity to watch Maurice White perform on stage. However, I’m pretty sure that he was on stage with the rest of the band members in spirit.
RIP to the amazing songstress Allee Willis, who wrote many of Earth, Wind & Fire's hits, including 'September' and this song, 'Boogie Wonderland.' She was inducted into the songwriters hall of fame in 2018. Just an all around wonderful song writer. WE WILL MISS YOU!
This song is fascinating when you really put your ear to it. The rhythm carries the melody throughout the entire song. Yet it's never repetitive or overbearing. There's a lot going on within the instrumentation as well as the vocal performances in every section of the song. No part is exactly the same. Everything in this song just seems to totally click. Great composition and recording. It's a masterpiece of our culture.
I completely agree, it has a stupendous arrangement- that staccato horn intro and the little call and response motif supported by the soaring strings all in the first few bars is breathtaking. It really should be a bombastic train wreck, but the genius of White and Bailey and the rest of the boys along with The Emotions has made it a masterpiece. I couldn't see anyone other than EWF having the musical ability and the balls to pull this off. Only Abba's 'Dancing Queen' comes close in terms of concept and execution.
This genre has definitely gotten a resurgence in popularity, with artists like Dia Lupa, The Weeknd & Anderson .Paak releasing material that heavily draws from 70s-era soul, r&b, disco and pop music. It makes me happy to see younger people digging on sounds like that, because it’s a golden tone indeed. I can only imagine what it would’ve been like to grow up in this era.
I'm an old white country boy who was truly blessed because I was in high school in the early 80's when this great music was popular!! There will NEVER be music like this ever again that has such great rhythm, heart and that is SO soothing for the soul!!!!
This may sound stupid but Soul music reminds me of the old country. The tone of the music, ensembles, rhythms all very much remind me of music from the old country.
@@musizlover2008 In that time to record a video clip mostly they have to do lipsync, thats why the instrument doesnt have cords, or the singer and corist girls doesnt have a mic. but you can search Live performances from them and the energy is the same.
Unfortunately,Maurice White passed away 4 years ago. He was an ABSOLUTE genius. He was the epitomy of "cool" and class. He created some of the greatest music of the 20th century. His kind will NEVER be witnessed again....
Hey Tom, you summed it up perfectly! M. White WAS MAGNIFICENT. He was beyond exceptional. He was the nucleus of EWF. Certainly in the top 10 of the greatest songwriters, arrangers, and producers of our time. I don't think people actually realized the profound impact that EWF music had on American and Global Culture from Europe to Africa in the 1970's thru the early 80's. There music was and still is Fire! It brought unity across all races, ethnicities, and cultures. Not every artist or group can make that claim to fame. EWF music was a Movement, thanks to Maurice.
I feel sad that most of the team members have already left. Hope they are Rest In Peace. This piece is full of joy and they are so energetic. Thanks to all of you.
Rest in Paradise Maurice White. Your music will live on forever!!! Thank you to every member of EWF for sharing your talents with us. I hope we were able to show you how much we love you all!!!
Mr. Phillip Bailey has always amazed me with his voice...This group, the late Mr. Maurice White, the Emotions sisters, and this song...I LOVE THIS LOVE THIS!!!🤓🤓🤓
SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA SPORTS ARENA. 70S. SAW JACKSON FIVE AS A KID SPORTS ARENA. IF THEY CAME TO SAN DIEGO IN THE 70S I WENT WONDERFUL TIMES NO HATING NO GANGS NO SHOOTING NOT TO MUCH WEED, THE SAILORS USED TO PARTY WITH US AT THE CONCERTS AND AFTER PARTYS. BOYZ FROM NEW YORK LOISIANA TEXAS MISSISSIPPI FLORIDA LA AND MARINES IN CAMP PENDLETON....NEVER SEE DAYS LIKE THAT AGAIN, IM 62 YRS OLD NOW.
Philip Bailey is the most underrated singer in pop music history. I'd put him up there with Freddie Mercury in terms of hitting those high notes with power.
This song is dedicated to everyone who lost a loved one. God bless. "I'm calling out your name tonight" by Richie Levoi ruclips.net/video/JSbGGiSe3S8/видео.html
my dads favorite song...seeing thisvideo just reminds me of him...he was 20 when discos were a thing...i could just see him dancing his heart away...RIP Dad.
i was abt the same age as ur dad cuz i was arnd 4 the disco days also them were the best days of growing up the music was not abt goin out an killin someone or weapons only the good stuff an u were able 2 know an understand the words in the songs also
An iconic moment in music. Brilliant writing , Maurice ,Phil and the Emotions blowing the roof off with their powerhouse vocals. The band is on fire. Perfection this is what music is all about
Entièrement d'accord. !!! Je suis née en 1951 et j'ai dansé des nuits entières sur ces charts hits et tubes qui déferlaient sur la France venus tout droit des States ou de la Grande Bretagne!!! Je danse depuis l âge de 6 ans classique et rythmique puis au cours de mes voyages sortais,salsa,tangoetc... Patricia Vive

Some Stick neither me and I dislike comments that are like uh ali a brought me here and then this person said mariece white died and I thought for a second wait is he that dancer then I instantly thumbs upped the comment and if anyone sees this wonderland why I said thumbs up instead of like it It would be the same as me saying I like m.w died
Yayyyy!!! LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! LOVE EWF!!! They're just as good live!!! Big 80's song!! So many places to dance!!!! We need to bring back dance clubs!!!!! Dancing m akes one happy!!!
I'm jealous of the people who grew up during these times, on the dance floor it didn't matter your race, religion, or political stance. It looked like pure love for a good time
I played a earth wind and fire tribute with my high school jazz band. I played tenor sax and had part of the "melody" aka the part when guy first sings.
Does anybody ever just get tired of today's music and find them selves going on a old music rampage. Hug me guys if you feel it! Love from Philippines :)
Me, Always!! And I'm a 2001 baby. I have an Old Soul and prefer all of the older, cleaner songs rather than all this noise being cranked up all day!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️💖💖😁😁

If there's such a thing as musical ecstasy Maurice certainly knew how to take use there. He made records that not only sounded incredible but it also made you feel alive spiritually. RIP sir and thank you for the wonderful music I enjoyed growing up with.

This song is fascinating when you really put your ear to it. The rhythm carries the melody throughout the entire song. Yet it's never repetitive or overbearing. There's a lot going on within the instrumentation as well as the vocal performances in every section of the song. No part is exactly the same. Everything in this song just seems to totally click. Great composition and recording. It's a masterpiece of our culture.
I completely agree, it has a stupendous arrangement- that staccato horn intro and the little call and response motif supported by the soaring strings all in the first few bars is breathtaking. It really should be a bombastic train wreck, but the genius of White and Bailey and the rest of the boys along with The Emotions has made it a masterpiece. I couldn't see anyone other than EWF having the musical ability and the balls to pull this off. Only Abba's 'Dancing Queen' comes close in terms of concept and execution.
Agreed, and it really makes one want to Boogie their ass off…jus sayin.
.
couldnt agree more
It's pure perfection .
can we just now appreciate what an absolute legend of a band they were.......music like this will never die!
JIMMY…....ruclips.net/video/QYIcUPkjGY0/видео.html
And still going! I saw them in college at Michigan State University - 43 years ago!
This genre has definitely gotten a resurgence in popularity, with artists like Dia Lupa, The Weeknd & Anderson .Paak releasing material that heavily draws from 70s-era soul, r&b, disco and pop music. It makes me happy to see younger people digging on sounds like that, because it’s a golden tone indeed. I can only imagine what it would’ve been like to grow up in this era.

From When MUSIC was GOOD🥰
What a timeless classic. Will NEVER get old. Every generation will enjoy this music.
My 33 yr old daughter hates it. If I didnt know better, I'd be wondering who her daddy is.
@@nancydenick1875 my condolences to her lack of taste in awesome music.
Your daughter has poor taste in music if her favorite is pop music, which is awful
my son used to love this song and sued to flap his arm as a young child and now does not recall liking it ever
Exactly like that
I'm an old white country boy who was truly blessed because I was in high school in the early 80's when this great music was popular!! There will NEVER be music like this ever again that has such great rhythm, heart and that is SO soothing for the soul!!!!
Jimmy I agree ! ❤🙋🏻♀️
This may sound stupid but Soul music reminds me of the old country. The tone of the music, ensembles, rhythms all very much remind me of music from the old country.
& makes you want to get up & dance, sucker as Parliament/Funkadelic directs & me? I'm still waiting for the mothership
Me too! I did damce for my first time when i was im on 11 grade Los Angeles High School in febrary 1980 ...good times
AGREE, SO GREAT MUSIC. IT WILL STAY FOREVER.
The happiness and joy that they shown singing, playin and dancing shows how trully they love their music and craft
We need more legends like them
Yeah, but I can't help but notice that they are not playing the instruments in tune with the music.
@@musizlover2008 In that time to record a video clip mostly they have to do lipsync, thats why the instrument doesnt have cords, or the singer and corist girls doesnt have a mic. but you can search Live performances from them and the energy is the same.
@@이름-w8l7n no. we need more times like this!
yeah that and drugs
The BEST Band ever.
it’s impossible to sit still listening to this music
I’m still😳
IMPOSSIBLE

Unfortunately,Maurice White passed away 4 years ago.
He was an ABSOLUTE genius.
He was the epitomy of "cool" and class.
He created some of the greatest music of the 20th century.
His kind will NEVER be witnessed again....
I agree brother
Never ever ever,he was the best, I remember when I use to hate this group, I grew up in the 70 I must have been crazy
Rest in peace, Reece. Thank you for all the wonderful music! 😣😣❤❤
@@verakebbeh1293 I'm happy you came to your senses......😃
Hey Tom, you summed it up perfectly! M. White WAS MAGNIFICENT. He was beyond exceptional. He was the nucleus of EWF. Certainly in the top 10 of the greatest songwriters, arrangers, and producers of our time.
I don't think people actually realized the profound impact that EWF music had on American and Global Culture from Europe to Africa in the 1970's thru the early 80's. There music was and still is Fire! It brought unity across all races, ethnicities, and cultures. Not every artist or group can make that claim to fame. EWF music was a Movement, thanks to Maurice.
This song is a classic masterpiece that will never die out!
I dearly hope so, Christopher.
Of course it will not disappear, it is a classic that will live forever!!! Regards Christopher
@@lolaizaguirre May God almighty keep that way so these legendary artists can be remembered through the ages and the new generations.
My kids smile with me when I dance to these older tunes💃and I hope they continue to play them❤😂
You can hear Brazilian beat in their music they went there to get it
I feel sad that most of the team members have already left. Hope they are Rest In Peace. This piece is full of joy and they are so energetic. Thanks to all of you.
Especially Maurice White the founder and leader of Earth, Wind & Fire.
They went to the Boogie Wonderland. A heaven we want
Yes, explosive!💥🔥
Right on !!!
They're boogieying them pearly gates. People are going in dancing in a line 😂
this song makes me Proud to be Black, love my black american brother and sisters fr.
September、let's groove、boogie wonderland

Rest in Paradise Maurice White. Your music will live on forever!!! Thank you to every member of EWF for sharing your talents with us. I hope we were able to show you how much we love you all!!!

Mr. Phillip Bailey has always amazed me with his voice...This group, the late Mr. Maurice White, the Emotions sisters, and this song...I LOVE THIS LOVE THIS!!!🤓🤓🤓
I turned this on as a joke and ended up jamming out the hardest i've had in months
What do you mean?
Gotta be ready when you put an earth wind and fire song on
I fricking did too after watching robert downey jr's video😂😂😂😂😂

Its you again!!!

Maurice White was a genius... 48 years later and I'm bopping to this !
Me: wasn’t even born when this song came out
Also me: ahhh brings me back to the good old days
Same 😂😂
I've never seen anything that I can relate to this much
To be fair i'm pretty sure this song found his way into some movies from the early 2000s so you are indeed remembering your good old days
Same, but I grew up with this kind of music cause of my parents
@@IkeanCrusader1013 same it's thks to them i know so many old song lol
How is this mans hair so perfect? It’s so round and symmetrical it’s scary.
Robd1 replies ye
It’s a miracle of god
Only his barber can answer that question.
A symmetrical hair line too.
"don't touch the fro!" That took hours !
Lucky those who could witness a live concert during their golden age.
I'll say!!!
Definitely right. Blessed times of 70s-80s disco music
SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA SPORTS ARENA. 70S. SAW JACKSON FIVE AS A KID SPORTS ARENA. IF THEY CAME TO SAN DIEGO IN THE 70S I WENT WONDERFUL TIMES NO HATING NO GANGS NO SHOOTING NOT TO MUCH WEED, THE SAILORS USED TO PARTY WITH US AT THE CONCERTS AND AFTER PARTYS. BOYZ FROM NEW YORK LOISIANA TEXAS MISSISSIPPI FLORIDA LA AND MARINES IN CAMP PENDLETON....NEVER SEE DAYS LIKE THAT AGAIN, IM 62 YRS OLD NOW.
mY FRIEND I WAS LUCKY TO SEE THESE GUYS IN CONCERTYA COULDNT STOP MOVIN EXCELLENT CONCERT ON SO MANY LEVELS\
@@sdharrison9944 wow sounds awesome!
Philip Bailey is the most underrated singer in pop music history. I'd put him up there with Freddie Mercury in terms of hitting those high notes with power.
These wardrobes were ridiculous yet awesome. Ridiculously awesome!!!
With a hint of Klingonese.
yeah...that was a show all by itself 😎
Yep totally overdressed by today's standards, but it was 38 years ago.
simplemente asi. era antes

Ok, so according to my mom this song would stop me crying when i was a baby. Many years later, I can confirm this song is still effective.
Literally using this song to calm my one month old daughter rn

It worked with our daughter too.

Music is energy and has power. 👍🏾💙

I was 22 when this came out.
Earth, Wind, Fire and The Emotions. Never forget the Emotions.
Love these women! Great singers all, and those super tight harmonies. DAMN!
The Commodores were another band who had a decent career!
Did the singer of The Emotions die quite recently ?
@@TheHumbuckerboy one of the singers Pamela Hutchinson passed away September 2020 she wasn’t apart of the original 3 but she was one of the sisters
@@yungcorleone2919 So Pamela isn't featured here ?
They don’t make songs like this no more
An iconic moment in music. Brilliant writing , Maurice ,Phil and the Emotions blowing the roof off with their powerhouse vocals. The band is on fire. Perfection this is what music is all about
You got that right!!
Entièrement d'accord. !!!
Je suis née en 1951 et j'ai dansé des nuits entières sur ces charts hits et tubes qui déferlaient sur la France venus tout droit des States ou de la Grande Bretagne!!! Je danse depuis l âge de 6 ans classique et rythmique puis au cours de mes voyages sortais,salsa,tangoetc...

Yeah his voice and the music wanna make u dance
I've read it shortly that he died. I will never forget him. Greets from Switzerland.
how did he die
In his sleep, peacefullly. He's been suffering from Parkinson's since the late 80's.
We love you 3000, Maurice White
RIP
Shoulda shut the flip up I didn't know he was dead :(((
I'd be honored if some EWF fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of SEPTEMBER on my YT channel in tribute to the Mighty Maurice White, the creative genius who co-wrote and sang this back in 1979. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.

Good times gracias
You will never see this ever again.
They were tripping on acid they why they were so happy lol 😂
I know ! It makes me want to be right there ! Right now! ❤
@@puttylover definitely did lines of coke before the video shoot lmaoooo
I'm jealous of the people who grew up during these times, on the dance floor it didn't matter your race, religion, or political stance. It looked like pure love for a good time
You did miss a great period indeed. But you can live it by proxy on RUclips. :-)
A great time 70’s/80’s. Great clubs in NY with great dance music.
I was one of those lucky people,it was a special time with exceptional music,there was a certain vibe at that time.
Your Right it was exactly like that... 🤹✨🕺🏽🕺🏿✨💃🏼💃🏾✨🧚🏽🧚🏽🧚🏽🧚🏽✨🎷🎸🪘
Los mejores años vividos nunca los olvidare
IT WAS REALLY A MAGIC TIME.. THE DECORATIONS, THE MUSIC , THE DANCE FLOOR THE BAR AND YES.. THE WOMEN..
I freaking LOVE their outfits and this energy! Showmanship at its finest! You just don't see bands like this anymore.
Black music is shit these days. Glad I lived thru the 70s and 80s when great music like this ruled.
Let's not forget about The Emotions
So true…no one remembers that this was a collaboration with those outstanding ladies!!🙌🏽🎵❤
Where has talent gone.
It’s around but the game is about sellout today…so talent need not apply.
We played this song in my high school marching band and in marching band competitions, and it will always have a special place in my heart.
Omg i can't imagine how cool was that.
I played a earth wind and fire tribute with my high school jazz band. I played tenor sax and had part of the "melody" aka the part when guy first sings.
Did you win?
@@hunnybunny484 No, I think we came in 4th. Lol. But we had fun.
One by one they gone.....David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Black now Maurice White. I grew up with their music. RIP Maurice !!!

Hug me guys if you feel it!

This song makes me so happy. Their smiles are so beautiful. Always get up and dance! Love this group.

Damn right. thing showed up on my recommended
Yep! And on to Let's Groove next
Kako MP That is literally what happened😂😂😂
Indeed.
Now this is what u call Music!!
How can anyone watch this and NOT just smile at the fun and joy of it all?
Right now, more than 43tsd, as the counter is telling. Sad People!
right!!
Or dance....I can't ever keep still watching this! Love this Song!
I would be concerned if anyone didn't felt that
Well said!
The joy in the performance and musicianship is amazing. These great bands didn't need autotune, they could just do it live!
This is a perfect example of pure,free musical and physical expression. Raw talent out their doing its thing.
And so well-produced
2025 anyone ?
Ye
Yes sir💪🥰
We started off badly, with these people reminding us what year it is, how sad that the apes don't visit us, we are the apes, aliens don't exist in these years, no one has seen one.
You mean this isn't 1998?
Si me gusta y mucho años más.🎉

My elementary teacher showed us this and taught us to sing this and September. Till now I'm still listening to it.
Because its a wonderful song. No matter how I am feeling , listening to this song always cheers me up
Sounds like you had a badass teacher

Brings back the memories of a life that i did not have
Poetry my son. 💯❤️

Probably just happiness
If there's such a thing as musical ecstasy Maurice certainly knew how to take use there. He made records that not only sounded incredible but it also made you feel alive spiritually. RIP sir and thank you for the wonderful music I enjoyed growing up with.
well said! This song makes me happy, after a rough day. Rip Maurice
Yes, very well said.
+Shane Anthony Amen and an Amen !!
brings me back to the days of Soul Train and The Midnight Special. Thanx for the memories.
You're so right !!!
I love the positivity of that time. So tired of all of the negativity here in the US. I hope we can remember how to have fun again one day soon.
If you don't like this group we can't be friends 😮😊
Everybody should like Earth, Wind & Fire. You probably appreciate them more now than when you were a kid. Real, great music!!
