Drove for a small limo company in LA in early 80s. Had a call in AM to rest all day and pick-up Earth Wind and Fire at 5P in Beverly Hills taking them to the Forum. Maurice sat up front with me. Immediately liked them...When we got to Forum and through the tunnel near dressing rooms they invited me to watch rehearsal. By concert time they arranged a very good seat...Afterwards they wanted to go to a special restaurant they knew about. I was invited to have dinner with them. A truly magical evening with very special men..Thank you Earth Wind and Fire🌠. The special energy still resonates.

No Circus, No Acrobats, No computers, No Fake sounds of instruments or voices. Only Class, splendid voices with great lyrics and Soul. Real Music.

Yes! Never again will there be another band leader as Maurice White. Led with creativity and charisma! Gratitude to God for allowing me to be live during the true Golden Age of R&B!

Maurice White ... 1941 - 2016 ........a genius has gone......... R.I.P Mr. White and thank you for so many wonderful songs....

Lord I pray that whoever reads this message their heart will be filled with your peace, mercy, and forgiveness 🙏

Man we came up in the most awesome music generation ever. Never be duplicated

Went to college with Maurice White at the Chgo. Conservatory of Music and hung out with the group in the late 1970's. Their music is an inspiration that will live eternal.

Earth, Wind, And Fire......The BEST BAND🗣🎺🎵🎼🪘🎶📯🎷 in The LAND, Nobody in 2023 Will Ever Come Close. Rest In Peace🙏🏾 Mr. Maurice White, Thank🙏🏾You for Blessing Us with Your Beautiful Music.

Philip Bailey is one of the most underrated singers, his vocal range Jesus Christ

EW&F is that band you can listen to all day and forget the day passed by.

I've seen Earth Wind & Fire in person three times they put on the absolute best shows. And you cannot sit still at their concerts no way Jose. 💃

My God this brings me back. Love EWF! 60 yrs old, and this song and EWF brings me right back. R.I.P Maurice White.

Wow...these brothers were and still are the Platnium standard. With so many groups in the 70s and 80s, with all respect to the others, they just seemed to be on another level and the fact that they are still playing today is testament to that.

I saw them in Seattle. It was a Black and White love fest. They put out so much love. I've never seen a happier group of people.

This took me all the way back to my senior year of high school, class of 1976. Thanks for the great memories.

"I swear I need a time machine...great music...and good seeing all these 70's generation...as they used to say..RIGHT-ON YALL"

I am and always will be the biggest fan of earth wind and fire 🔥 love them so much you are missed Mr.maurice white alone with all the other members of the original group 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️

Maurice, I can party in my seat! I can get the groove seating down! The Party started when the first note played! Earth Wind & Fire are the best! June 21, 2022.

With so much going on in the world today, it's just so nice to come back and listen to something nice.

R.I.P. Maurice White . Thank you for your Music that impacted the world. !!

Earth, Wind and Fire is the platinum standard when it comes to musical groups! There will never be another like them.

Just had to come back and comment again what beautiful time in my life. The world needs this music again

I absolutely love earth wind and fire they are the best ever. Grew up listening to them I'm so sad Maurice died.

The best R&B Band that ever existed .......loved the 70's thank you God for letting me live through a time of live bands and people with real talent.

I love me some Earth Wind & Fire.... There'll never be another Maurice he is one of a kind!

"Your music was the best in the world, and still is best thanks you so much for founder earth wind and fire!!"

R.I.P. Maurice White. When I listen to your music , my memories go back to all the beautiful, funny and really great memories at that time. Thank you Maurice .

These were great times when songs made sense...

I was so blessed growing up in the 70s and becoming a young adult in the 80’s-We had the best bands and music -I can’t “feel” soulfully music made today like I did back in the day!

Crying, singing, dancing !! thank you for 5 decades of positive grooves .. xx

This was a serious group...wow. The acapella - wow! This is live??? Sounds like they are in the studio. This group should have won many many more Grammys.

Maurice left behind a legacy that we should always cherish in OUR LIVES. His VOICE, TALENT and WORDS of WISDOM.

There should not be one dislike for this reminder of how great music was back then...... All great MUSICIANS!

i will never forget the joy you brought to me and the rest of the world ! RIP Maurice !

“BADDEST BAND IN DA LAND” 💥🎼🎤👏🏾

I was in High school when this came out. The "disco" era was in full bloom. My friends and I pretty much shunned that for what we really loved....rocknroll. Led Zep, Stones etc etc. But I did not know a single person, black or white, who didnt have this album in their collection. The groove was just so on point and they had everyone singing and dancing to their music. Maybe thats their greatest accomplishment though...the way their music pierced thru the color barrier. 1975-76 was filled with racial strife in my HS. But we could all agree on one thing. EWF was a cool band that we all wanted to listen to. I loved them then, i love them now...43 yrs later. Yep..we came together on a special day.... and they came thru loud and clear..

I truly did love the 70's music and especially EWF! They were one of the Best!

You have never seen a live show until you had witness EWF on stage. This was a BAND that could rival any orchestra and with the VOCALS that could rival any singing group.. The complete package . They gave you something to move to, something to grove to, something to sing to and for those that could do none of that something to watch.. All put together by one of musics most talented field generals .. There's a bigger band waiting for you my brother RIP Maurice, Sing a Song

That lead-in to Devotion is magic.

Best band ever. There songs are still revelant. Legendary! Best musicians, writers in history. Nobody else comes close

Saw them perform in their prime in the early-70s. Prior to this tour, they had consulted with David Copperfield because they wanted to add magical and mystical content and effects to their performances. OMG! Fifty years later, that concert is still fresh in my mind!!!

There is no other group in the world that I wish I could meet in person I know all of their music and what it means it's all about love

Anywhere where 'That's The Way of the World' is 'our national anthem', thats where I want to be... love it!

Simply the Number one, thank you Maurice for your wonderful music

Philip Bailey's High Falsetto notes in the "Reasons" Is FANTASTIC!! A High C6.. So Awesome!

best group in the business.. love my cousin phillip bailey... his parents were great best friends with my grandparents.. had once chance to meet him and they did not take me.. sad.. but i still jam out to them always the three elements. earth,wind and fire......

When music brought everyone together. Earth, Wind & Fire will always be without a doubt one of the greatest R & B bands ever!

RIP Maurice... Thank you for all that wonderful music.. It shaped my childhood.

They play thire music so effortlessly, it sounds like a recorded album. Its a a clear example of a group of people becoming one, beautiful. Thank you Earth Wind and Fire for my childhood memories. 📷

even our babies love that music....EW&F ist all time great.

That harmony at the beginning was so beautiful and soulful.

Greatest group of all times

This was music right here, so blessed to have grown up in this era!

When music was music, a voice and a sax hitting the notes, ain't nothing like it!

No one can compare to Earth Wind & Fire. The more you hear them the better they sound. Im still practicing!

Im only 21 but devotion is 1 of my favorite songs ever..feel good music some of the best ever made

OMG THAT ENTRY TO ‘That’s Way Of The World’ IS ELECTRIC! That’s the way I’m going to walk into any room from notes on ♥️ Earth Wind and Fire. Ingredients for positive energy. If you ain’t dancing to this, you ain’t living. EWF ALL DAY & NIGHT!!!Thank you Maurice♥️ Thank You Earth Wind and Fire 🔥

Thats the way of the world does that give you chills man. What a tune!

I'm 26 years old. And last year I had the chance to see EWF live! Sadly without Maurice White, it was still the best live show I have ever witnessed. Their music hits you right in the soul. Especially the transition into devotion. Unremarkable. So long story short. I feel blessed that a young man like me had to chance to whitness them. And they performed devotion exactly like this. I will never forget it!

Legendary EARTH WIND AND FIRE HEAVEN SENT ❤️😇😎

The Best group of ALL TIME!!! I was blessed to have seen them perform at Madison Square Garden back in the 70s' They came down off of a Pyramid Space Ship. The Gods were in the House that night! Will never forget

R.I.P. Maurice. Musical genius and loved by so many.

Every time I listen to EW&F I am blown away This band just move my SOUL !!!!!!!! So amazing 👌👋🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥

Earth wind and fire. the BEST band of all time.

the bass line in the song Devotion. what a groove

I have loved this band for 40 + years. If you get the chance to see them in concert, DO IT. RIP Maurice

I listen their songs and it is hard to choose the best one. There are so many amazing..."Fantasy", "Devotion", "After the love has gone"! Today, there are no songs like these ones, which after years, we can remember the names and rythms!

I was in love when this came out. The first time I heard it, I got in my car and went a got this album. Good memories

RIP Don Myrick one of the greatest saxophonist in modern music..

Reasons live !!!!!!!! E W F One of the best groups ever !!!!

The man can just sang.. I remember the hot summer when that’s all we had holding on to hope and singing along with these songs.. The music was from another planet it seems .. it definitely described all the elements utilizing all those instruments and voices harmonizing to the heavens with Phillip Bailey.. And Verdine making that bass dance across the page like a character from Fantasia.. We were in awe.. I can’t tell you how many miles I travel listening to the long musical solos.. Incredible and now that’s 1970’s 50 years ago. Where have all the flowers 🌺 gone. Long time passion’. LB July 2022

Love it! Music created by mature and enlighten black men. The orchestration is complex and light years beyond today's hip hop. EWF is not old school, it is unchallenged even by today's standards.

Wow Earth Wind and Fire my favorite group of all times absolutely love them Phillip Bailey so amazing Maurice White RIP

I was raised on this!!!! This is class,,,this is what you call,,,,real music,,have only the greatest memories!!!thanks E,W,&F.

The best big band to the 70'S forever !!!

perfection exists , and its name is Earth Wind & Fire ! Absolutely fantastic

LORD HAVE MERCY THIS IS MY JAMM!

This is beyond the earth, this is music from higher dimension

So blessed to have seen this awesome group in the early 80's in the U.K. It was truly a dream come true.❤️🎤🎶🎵

One of the Greatest Bands that ever lived and some real musicians who were some bad ass brothers and God Bless brother Maurice White the founder who passed on years ago who is singing in these videos Earth Wind and Fire.

FOREVER ALWAYS THE GREATEST BAND EVER !!!!!

There is so much soul within this music. LITERALLY, I can find no flaws in this band which is a lot to say; considering the music today. Life is cyclic and we need this music for this generation. Truly, I believe EWF can make anyone's day brighter.

The best Earth Wind & Fire, thanks!!! Lord bless!!

EWF is, and always has been the best group ive ever heard. I've been fortunate enough to make it to 3 of there concerts! love you EWF

I've been following this band for year and they move me every time i see them play NY to the Midwest.

God is the reason when they found what the reasons were

... I can't stop listening to Earth, Wind and Fire here on YT. You're part of my childhood. Thanks for the great music! R.I.P. Maurice ...

What I wouldn't give to go back and see these legends in the flesh, performing on stage. They had such a presence about them, they had fun with every song they played and that energy transferred to the crowd. There was no other experience like it.

THIS IS MUSIC, BOY I MISS OLD SCHOOL MUSIC

You know when your a good musician when 40 years after you made a song it still makes people move.

My goodness, that Philip Bailey is so, so talented. I love how the saxophone echoed his notes.

100% PURE JOY! Something sadly missing from the music industry for the past few decades!!! They were in love with the creating and not with their own egos! We can only.hope that such talents will reappear at some stage in the future or we are done!

Best band in history!!!!!!

WOW!!! This is a real concert, I saw them a few months ago in Va. Great show, Phil still has that IT FACTOR.. The best!

Old school legends will always be the best performers......still love it!!!

Earth, Wind and Fire. One of the GOAT bands.

Amazing, I love I love timeless music. Thank you EWF and Maurice White. Forever.

The best group of all times during my late teen years and 20's

Travel well Maurice. Woo those angels with your beautiful voice.

This is real good music, still, YES !!!!
