Earth, Wind & Fire ~ After The Love Has Gone 1979 Soul Purrfection Version

- Maurice White started a band called the Salty Peppers in 1969, but felt the name did not really fit. A year later and a move to California, he realized that his astrological sign had no water in it, but had three elements, earth, air and fire. Air did not sit right and he chose to use Wind and the name stuck.
Bringing his brother Verdine into the band and then recruiting vocalist Philip Bailey, he began to refine the group he envisioned. They had two middling chart hits in 1974 and then broke in 1975 with the #1 hit "Shining Star" and they were on their way, regularly hitting #1 R&B and had nine top 40 pop hits when they released "I Am" in 1979.
First out of the gate was "Boogie Wonderland" a stomper that peaked at #6 pop and #14 disco. The follow up was "After The Love Has Gone" which peaked at #2 for two weeks, stalled out by The Knack's "My Sharona". The song was nominated for four awards and won 2 of them, Best R&B Song and Best R&B Group Performance. The band feels that "I Am" was their "Abbey Road" milestone album. "It really scored pop" says Maurice, "People stole stuff from that album, whole careers came out of it. It was like listen to "I Am" and see what you can steal. All the pieces came together".
They did not have another pop hit until 1981's "Raise" provided them with "Let's Groove" a #1 R&B hit for eight weeks then peaked at #3 pop for five weeks, as Olivia Newton John's "Physical" was #1 and Foreigner's "Waiting For A Girl Like You" was permanently stuck at #2. Their last Top 40 pop charting single was "Fall In Love With Me" which reached #17 in 1983. Five years later, they released "System Of Survival" which peaked at #1 R&B but petered out at #60 on the Hot100.

Amazing Band and

Unlike the Garbage of Today.
I miss the year 79. I just turned 21 had my first beer at a discothèque. The start of many love affairs., and after the love has gone. Gone but not the music
👋🤔👋
The year 1978 was the first year Michigan reduced the legal age to 18, and I turned 18 on January 1.
In the year 79 i wass 18, a great time in the discotheek in holland.
True for so many of us. Hold on to the food memories: they insulate you from the evil.
Me too I was 22.
My Daughter Was born In 1979 a great memory for that time. Beautiful song Beautiful time in life. Beautiful music from EWF!
Another great song that still stands the test of time.
ANY EXTENDED VERSION OF AN EARTH WIND AND FIRE SONG IS AWESOME... It's like a new release/escape from reality/pure joy and how you would have produced the song yourself!
PERFECTION IN EVERY WAY.
brilliant record one of the best records ever made glad you like it marcus
@@adriansymcox1641 ME AND EARTH,WIND AND FIRE GO WAY BACK,LIKE AT THE BEGINNING PART OF EARTH,WIND AND FIRE.IN MY 56 YEARS ON EARTH,I'VE NEVER HEARD ANY BETTER THAN MY BOYS EVER.THEY ARE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME IN MY MUSIC BOOK.HEY ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR FRIDAY SYMCOX.
@@adriansymcox1641 yes and so am I!
I was playing in a band, gigging in Toronto, when the keyboard player said the new Monty Python movie,
The Life of Brian, was playing a matinee in a downtown theater. As we stood at the back, looking at this
rebuilt, historic theater, all the decorative plaster work with a huge balcony, while we decided where to sit,
this Earth, Wind & Fire song came over the sound system, beautiful. Sitting there listening, a wonderful day.
2023 until the greatest group ever!!
That horn section in the background is simply the best, great old song that's never aged. Reminds me of my school days, thanks for a great song.
I love this song so much! Earth, wind, and Fire, are one of the greatest bands ever.
Essa musica pelo arranjo e harmonia e letra enfim tudo e na interptetaçao faz o sentido passar pelo tempo e aqui 2023 escutando e a emoçao e lagrimas
I love this song, especially the way they do it live and let the sax solo jams at the end.
RIP Maurice and Philip Bailey was just perfect vocally for his group!
I also sir am recently widowed.. 36 years Married.. you and your wife will have your dance again.. She waits for you beyond the clouds..
Maurice White …in a class by himself….such a presence on stage…great lyrics and outstanding musicianship …what a treasure !!!
I INSTANTLY recognized the touch of DAVID FOSTER first time listened this song, David Foster is simply a GENIUS of music, that's it!, David is simply the best of all!!!. ;)
Earth Wind & Fire. I have always love. Listen to their music. Great R&B group. Thanks for sharing.
Cat, by my own admission, because I’m a lifetime EWF fan, I’m extremely tough on EWF remixes! I’ve heard some great ones, but dude, THIS TOPS THEM ALL!! You outdid yourself on this one!! BRILLIANTLY & EXCELLENTLY DONE!!
thanks man, I just love them to death. They were the soundtrack to my life throughout the 70's growing up in the Motor City.
@@DJDiscoCat I ALWAYS tried to imitate Philip Bailey's voice whenever doing an EWF request for a karaoke fan or for others at my favorite hangout...It's sad I can't really reach those falsetto notes anymore, but still great karaoke memories.
@@DJDiscoCat do you know any applications or softwares which can help me separate the lyrics from the instrumentals? I'll be very happy to hear from you,and while we're at it, a happy Birthday to you(January 1st). May your year be blessed 🙏🏻

@@curtissmith9673 beg your pardon?
Fantastic, very good. After the loves gone.
FEBRUARY 2020...
MAURICE.. PHILIP.. & THE OTHERS.. STILL
A M A Z I N G ❣️❣️❣️
I love this version. You get to hear what's going on behind the singing, and the music is beautiful.
I bought the album this is on when it was new 40 years ago, and 40 years later it is still my favorite EWF song. These guys could sing solo or harmonize together like nothing that comes anywhere close today. Listen to the richness of their voices, and the instruments being played as accompaniment. This is award winning music. So glad I was young and experienced this era firsthand.
I'm with you on that. It's the reason I have this channel, love to open up these songs that made me happy and make them longer.
I really envy you, the time you and this music came from, and how you can actually reminisce about those glorious yesteryears. I can only imagine, and wish I was around, and I get sad looking at how music has downgraded today. Coming from a young boy in his early 20's.
@@DJDiscoCat please keep opening these gems up. Bisecting, Trisecting,Quadrisecting - any ways possible! Some of us,in our 20's and younger,young and still growing need to lay hands,absorb and digest every nutrient possible from this kind of ear candy and soul food,called MUSIC! We need it.
@@kevinodonkor4123 Thanks for your reply. It's hard to believe that a whole year has passed since I posted that comment! I forgot to mention that I still have the cabinet model Fisher Philharmonic combination turntable/AM FM stereo my wife and I purchased in 1968! The vinyl albums I bought back in the day can still be played on it, and it still sounds awesome.
@@jaycorby We can only be grateful to be still here,after a year. Even more precisely,after a year no one wants to remember. In similarity to your comment on your sound system,I spoke to a woman who is a proud owner of a teddy bear she caught,directly from Teddy Pendergrass at one of his concerts. I realize how cherished these stuff are to people of your kind,and how you older folk value them(a sound system from 1969 which gives you so much in one play qualifies to be a fortune,in this modernized world ) I look forward to having such prized items in my possession someday too. I'm happy to be taking pages from the books of older ones around me,as a youngster.
Another great and fabulous gem were blessed with from the greatest musicians of all time R I P Maurice, Fred, Andrew, Beloyd,
This is "After The Love Has Gone" by Earth, Wind & Fire.
DEBUT DATE: Saturday, July 7, 1979.
FIRST APPEARANCE DATE: Saturday, July 28, 1979.
2021 We still rocking to this one.. #classic
Thank you for doing justice to MY SONG!!!!
The Good Old Days of Disco Era😊
Maurice White, muito obrigado! Fique em paz🙏
E lá se vão 44 anos desse clássico, isso prova que o amor ainda não se foi e contrariando o título da música, continuamos amando esta canção. Viva a maior banda negra de todos os tempos!!
This song is so beautiful reminds me of my first love
Certain parts, I get chills. Beautiful song! Memories!
Perfect pitch and tenure! They coming back to Michigan early May! This group needs to be invited to the next Super Bowl and hopefully the young-uns will have the opportunity to hear REAL MUSIC!
YA NO ENCUENTRO PALABRAS PARA DECIRTE QUE HERMOSA MÚSICA TIENES Y QUE SON DE NUESTRA EPOCA
This song takes me back to comic books, Cartoon Express, and all kinds of shows from the 70s and 80s. It jams!
" No sax before the fight. "
@@christophermichaelfuller5448 Oh. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense.
A melhor banda de todos os tempos. The best!
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG
Purrfection, Cat, this cannot be improved upon!!
Thank you very much DJDiscoCat for this awesome version.
Takes me back to high school, those good ol’ days.
Esta banda inmortalizó temas como este , siempre recordadas, jamas olvidadas.
Growing Up In The 70s When It Was The "Tried, Troubled And Often Difficult Times" Even As An 8 Year Old Nappy Headed Kid I've Witnessed A Lot Good And A lot Of Bad But As "We" All Can See, I've Lived It & Still Here To Tell About It. And With Music Like This From That Era, It Was Peaceful, Relaxing, Thinking, Keeping Your Head Up Kind Of Song (And Music Alike) That Would Always Keeping Your Spirits Up And Think Ahead In Life. Today's Music Is Just "Microwavable Music" That's Been Pieced Together From Different Music Samples. And "NO" Real Instruments In This Era. And 100% Vocals Because Phillip Bailey Had That In ♠️. Thank You For The Great Memories. Priceless.
Le temps a passé mais j ai toujours autant de plaisir à l'écouter.
❤Nostalgie, Nostalgie merveilleux souvenirs !!!
Avevo 14 anni quando ascoltavo questo brano❤❤❤bellissima canzone❤️
Went to see their show in AC last night they were amazing truly helping me heal God Bless The Elements
One of the rare songs where the verse outperforms the chorus and you have masterfully isolated all the best elements, the horns, strings and piano into a master mix. Thanks for helping me rediscover this masterpiece.
This version is 🔥!
de la vrai musique romantique moment de douceur garanti
Waited forever for this one. Great choice. 👍
Sempre costimo dizer essa pra é a melhor banda Bleck do Planeta🔈🔉🔊Vento Fogo da Terra.
Genial version de este gran temazo de TIERRA VIENTO Y FUEGO.
Sin duda alguna un CLASICO POR SIEMPRE.
Lo genial es ETERNO Y PUNTO.
best version of this great song i've ever heared!! ❤
Earth wind and fire , es mí grupo preferido de funk,jazz,pop de todos los tiempos. Su música tenia mucha alma , esta pieza fue compuesta originalmente por el gran maestro David Foster para el grupo.
Relaxo muito com música internacional
Actually one of the BEST Soul-Jazz Love Ballad of all time.
Ahead of it's time, superb instrumentation & sound engineering plus of course the genius & vocals of Reese White & strong falsetto by Phillip Bailey.
Nope, none can do anything similar to this now in this way advanced acoustics tech. Not even close...
Hey Ma, wish you could’ve heard this version of your favorite EWF song! Enjoy it in heaven! Miss you
So What Now? What Must We Do? But, Can We Have This Last Dance? The Music Is So Freaking Wonderful.
I found this on vinyl while visiting family outside Louisville Ky over 10 yrs ago. I found several EWF vinyl albums, 2 had the original posters 🥰😏☺️ EWF fan 4 Life
Best version of this great song
My favorite song...great remix 👍💕
It is a rare kill indeed to be able to remix such a golden classic and actually improve on the original. I would just like to express my gratitude to you for breathing new life into all this amazing music that has been the soundtrack to many of our lives! Keep on doing what you do!

Awesome version Master piece 👏. They just don't do music like this no more. Ev
One of my all-time favorite songs, that has a lot of meaning to me when it came out. I’ve always thought that the arrangement and production on this song was as perfect as any song could be. But, once again, you have climbed the mountain top and delivered a masterpiece mix! I especially love the short accapella section in the middle! Scrumptious!!! ✔️✔️✔️❤️😎
The thumbs down must have never found love again
brilliant quite simply fantastic love it one of the best records ever made
