Robert Jones Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Have been listening to Earth, Wind and Fire's LP "All 'n' All," and am swept up in their unique sound, esp. on songs "Jupiter," "Serpentine Fire" and "Fantasy." Maurice White and company have fused the perfect mix of soul, jazz, funk and samba a la Sergio Mendes. It is still as fresh as when I bought this record in 1977 when I was twelve. God, their horn ensembles are TIGHT -- like Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker on a large scale!Their other hits are just as timeless: "September," "Let's Groove," "After the Love Is Gone," "Shining Star" and "Getaway."If you haven't heard these guys, check them out. To me, they are the Sinatra of Soul. Edited March 11, 2007 by Robert Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanz Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 One of favorite bands of all times. Incredible musicians, incredible arrangements, incredible songwriting. I saw them in concert in the 70s when I was a teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmsc Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 EW&F is absolutely one of the greats. They are able to perform upbeat, positive, happy songs, and also mellow romantic songs. It's hard not to tap your feet or rock your hips when listening to EW&F!Sinatra of Soul -- not a bad moniker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
