Kids...this is BLACK 70's Music ROYALTY...Put some Respect on it.

Guaranteed this song will get all of your aunties, uncles and neighbors up and on the dance floor every time..... people with walkers, canes, wheelchairs....young, old... everyone gets up for this one.

The wedding is never official until this joint comes on. Alright now!

The great thing about this song is that even after thousands of listens, it makes you feel the same way.

"September" was released in 1978, and is now 42 years old. Earth, Wind, and Fire is considered one of the greatest Musical groups of all time!

I work at Starbucks, and I gotta tell ya... when we play this there, everybody knows every word. And the customer's dance. Even in the Time of Corona.

Okay boys - this is one of the kings of soul. Let's be respectful. EWF forever. RIP Maurice White.

This is one of the few songs on Earth that ALL races love. Over the years I've seen Asians, Arabs, Latin, Black and White people lose their minds when this song started in all kinds of club parties, weddings and street block parties I attended. This song is legit. Newborns all the way to senior citizens love this song. I've seen the reactions with my own eyes. Watching todays Millennials react to my childhood music so positively really makes me feel complete. Sincerely, from New York City. Frankie B.

A 15 member band when most were doing 4, horns when most had none, and they were SOOO loved and famous. They stood out and made great music.

One of the most celebrated bands in history.

Don’t worry what there wearing. Focus on what they’re Playing!!! Real Instruments 🎺

You were dancing here. Imagine hearing this in a Walmart and everyone around you stops shopping and starts dancing in the isles when it comes on the overhead speakers. I have seen it many times. Even had dinosaurs dancing at the end of the movie "Night At The Museum"!

they dressed that way because they were a "cosmic" group, elements of the universe, earth wind and fire.

1978: Earth, Wind, and Fire were part of the Afrofuturist / Mothership thing. So, their clothes are inspired by both traditional African dress and futuristic elements. And disco 😊

These brothers are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Ya'll have no idea how important this song is to the culture. LOVE

Note: the man in the yellow dashiki is Philip Bailey, the same guy whose voice you loved singing with Phil Collins in “Easy Lover.”

The anthem for the black community "Cookout". Well known classic. This is a song that you better put some respect on.

I like how the young man on the left calls out Maurice White’s stank face, but then he starts groovin with the music and making the same face. Too funny. Keep exploring, fellas! Love your videos. 💜

They played every instrument , sang every note - Live , no auto tune , no running it through a computer. Pure quality & style 💜💕❤️

For me living in London England they were the first group wearing kente cloth i had seen outside of my parents homeland of Ghana. Made me proud. History is everything boy's 🙂

When asked about the Ba-de-ya chorus, Maurice White’s response was, “Never let the lyric get in the way of the groove.”

Earth, Wind & Fire, LaBelle, ABBA- the clothes were a big part of the show and there were no limits on how crazy, big and bright they got.

Earth Wind and Fire were ahead of their time! Nobody wore what they wore or sang what they sang but they were respected and loved! Their music was always loved and still is today!

Maurice White is a legend! He was/is a musical genius! Sadly he died of Parkinson’s disease in 2016. 🙁🙁🙁 He was so creative and wonderful and paved the way for other artists such as The Commodores, such as Lionel Ritchie, another musical genius. “Brick House” by the Commodores is legendary.

"September" was one of 25 songs saved to the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. last year! It's my favorite EW&F song, and I'm so glad you reacted to it. Love and peace! P.S. Check out Phil Collins and one of the singers here, Philip Bailey, in "Easy Lover." Great tune.

The 70's & 80's had those horns and it really kicked soo many songs up a notch !! Fact.

C'mon guys, show some respect.. This was back in the 70's and you're listening to legends in the R&B and Soul world..

Bros, this was the mid seventies and these guys are still touring TODAY.

I love how the started dancing the second that the singing began. You can’t just sit like a statue when you hear this song. At the very least, your head will be bopping. 🎶 🎺 🎸

Earth Wind and Fire were known for their style. They were one of the hottest groups back in the day. There isn't one song that stands out. Parliament and Funcadelic were unique in style as well.

The biggest band of all time! Even Beyoncé, JayZ, John Legend and these so called icons of 21st century bow to Earth Wind and Fire. They started it all!

This was in the 70's and this was Earth, Wind and Fire's look.

You had questions s about the clothes. Back in the day artists generally did not wear street clothes on stage. They wore stage clothes or "costumes."

September: "Do you remember, the very 21st night of September". He was remembering the night he realized his heart was changing toward someone into love as they danced the night away. 😊💗😊 Love you guys.

You always call the gear these old bands be wearing "clothes". These were "costumes" to fit the theme of the albums they were currently on. EWF was into the stars and metaphysical realities.

The clothes they were wearing are based off of African Royalty...

September was co-written by Allee Willis who also wrote the theme song to Friends. She said the Friends song was the whitest thing she ever wrote and did it to get out of her contract. She recently passed away and had an incredible career and life.

"What are they wearing?" George Clinton, you're up next.

Earth, Wind & Fire was the music of my 70’s childhood. Their music was always positive. They were all about peace and love for all humanity.❤️

This song gives everyone the feel goods. It's a great song to listen to at a large party, outdoor concert-just a classic and makes me wanna dance and sing! Love listening to this in my car driving-windows down and singing my heart out!

'70's was the Rennaisance of Black music; love songs, political songs, songs influenced by African, Caribbean, Latino sounds, funk, jazz, voices, harmonies, out there costumes, freedom to express even when the times were hard, poetry and music.....it was a time of experimentation and pure genius. Listen up!

Dont forget his face youngsters, he is a true legend and his music has been in my life nearly my whole life!

Guys! I am soooooo surprised y'all didn't realllllllly get it!!! This is such a great, great song! At your next bbq, ctank this one up and watch the "elders" get up and MOVE! ✌🏼😉

The Elements or Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most famous bands in life. They spanned the musical genres of R&B, soul, funk, jazz, disco, pop, rock, dance, Latin, and Afro pop

I am SHOOK that y'all have never heard this song! It's one of my faves and cookout classic. ❤️❤️❤️

Ya'll need to listen to "Shinning Star" by this group! They are R&B royalty, ya'll!

1978 was clearly a questionable fashion era but at the time it was fun. The music of Earth, Wind, and Fire was and still is hands down fabulous.

Y’all, the 70’s was kind of a weird time period for fashion. They still had great music though, right?! This was definitely playing at the cookouts.

They were one of the most popular bands of the 1970's and 80's, and outrageous outfits were part of that era. Look at Parliment and David Bowie. You may laugh, but they were combing the glitter glam rock with bold African print fabrics and long Dashiki style tops. Pretty badass and creative.

Saw EWF at the Legends East concert at Citifield a few years ago. They had 40,000 people going insane. The building shook. They were called back three times.

Made in the 70's. Fantastic songwriters. Got to see them in person about 3 years ago. Still rocking it. Lead singer's son took his place when he passed. Let me tell you, EVERYBODY was on their feet dancing. You cannot sit still listening to them. Fantastic brass, percussion, just amazing. Lord have mercy they are still IT

You have to know that Maurice White wanted to bring every race, every, religion, every persuasion together with his and Earth, Wind and Fires music. He was a pioneer, no one can compare to. Phillip Bailey , Verdeen and others carried on that tradition. I wish he were here during these times that only seem to stop the progression of acceptance and togetherness amongst the people. Thanks to you twins that have an open heart and open mind- music is the great equalizer. I will support you through likes, and have bought your merchandise. God bless and give you much success- there needs to be more like you both in the universe

Classic Disco guys! “What they wearing” is classic 70’s disco. All the rage “back in the day” You guys are “banging”!🤗

Early 70's , when brothers use to compose their own sound, funk.

Just remember that this was one of the largest bands and horn sections in musical history and the legendary lead singer still carried them. Perfection.

i didn't even know it was possible for someone to not know this song...this is one of those classics you know just by being alive lol!!

Impossible to sit still when Earth Wind and Fire are playing!

The Late Great Mr.Maurice White was nothing but pure showmanship and entertainment. The group has what most artist do not have today. TALENT and SWAG!!

This cannot POSSIBLY be the 1st time you ever heard this !!

We’ve been asking for this one for months! Such a fun and happy song. I roller skated to this in the 80’s with my Jordache jeans and feather bangs. Thank you for all the trips down memory-lane, I sure love you guys!

This style of dressing wasn't for fashion, it was for the stage.

Song suggestion - "Give me the night" by George Benson.

One of my all time favorite songs on this planet.

70’s disco era. You kids crack me up. This is a wedding staple along with Sister Sledge song Family. 😂

Those were simply their costumes, they had a space theme going on, like taking you to another universe, it was the 70''s, the lead singer died about 5 years ago

At least their pants aren’t handing off their butts. They were wearing their stage costumes.

Im hispanic and consider EWF Soul/R&B royalty. They paved the way for many other great bands. A little respect for Maurice is in order. EWF sound & music got millions of us thru hard and tough times. They represented their heritage with pride, dignity & respect. We owe that and much more to these wonderful group of musicians. EWF was in a league of their own.

This song never gets old, E W &F never gets old. Phillip Bailey’s voice on Reasons is incredible! You have to listen to Boogie Wonderland by them, you can’t help but dance! One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to!

This song will cause goosebumps even in the year 2400.

Another thing that was real music that you guys were listening to this generation wish they could make music like that today.

Such a jam . Yes in the late sixties and 70’s people dressed like that.

One of the greatest group of all time..the singer..Maurice White. R.I.P.

This song was played on speakers after my daughter’s hs graduation this year while they were still on the football field. The entire class was dancing on the field and the parents were dancing in the stands. It was great!

Y'all, it was the 70s -80s. Stuff was jumpin! I sooooooo appreciate that you revisit so much cool music from back in the day. I was not as kind to past musical decades as you all are. Much respect. ♒

This song is pure joy.

Many of these groups dressed in flamboyant style. Every group had their own style. Next time do After The Love Has Gone...my favorite by them.😊😄

Their style.. The Lead Singer Maurice passed. It was his group. He wrote for many. Very talented. R I L Mr. White..

This is the music your grandparents made love too and made your parents. Lol. Earth Wind and Fire was the 60s/70s band ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶

YOU NEED TO BE SCHOOL'D ON THEIR STYLE WAS BACK THEN, NOTHING WRONG WITH THEIR STYLE!! THAT A TIMLESS CLASSIC.. 💯👌🏾

Earth, Wind and Fire was an extremely popular band in the 70s and 80s. The band showcased 9 members (not including their fabulous horn section called the Phenix Horns). Their founder, Maurice White, studied astrology, African sounds, jazz, pop and soul to create the band’s sound. He also introduced a small wooden African instrument called the Kalimba to the band and it became a part of their unique sound. Their history is amazing and the clothes they wore on stage, reflected the spirit and essence of the music they created. It may seem a little strange to you today but in the 70s everything about Earth, Wind and Fire was, as you would say “cold.” I’m glad you enjoyed it. Take a listen to their earlier work (from 1973-1978) it’s even better (to me). P. S. They also worked with Phil Collins.😉

I can't believe how ridiculously excited I'm getting to hear you guys hear these songs for the first time

Your ignorance of ubiquitous music never ceases to astound me, but it also makes your reactions even more pure and I love it. It's like watching people step out of a cult bunker for the first time.

I had a chance to attend a Earth, Wind & Fire Concert approx. 5 or 6 years ago. It was one of the best concerts ever!! These songs are timeless and have meaning and purpose behind them, so be respectful to their art and craft.

Earth, Wind, and Fire was one of the greatest. Listen to Devotion and That’s the way of the world.

This The National Anthem at every black person's picnic or Family Reunion !!🔥🔥🔥

That "Jolene!" cracks me up every time! Sometimes it's so hard to believe that this song hasn't been heard by the world, love the 1st times!

A lot of the black bands in the 70's wore costumes similar to this ! Earth Wind n Fire is one of the pioneers of soul music

True 70s royalty. Played loud in all the discos and EVERYONE got up and danced to them. Concerts sold out in minutes. Still listen to them.

I had to really think about why you all never heard of EWF and other classics then it dawned on me. We heard our parent’s music when they blasted it in the house during family celebrations or on Saturday mornings when we were cleaning. Now with everyone wearing earbuds and earphones, the younger ones don’t know what the older ones are listening to so this music is all new to them. Even as we ride in the car, everyone is listening to their own genre of music. Remember when we couldn’t touch the dial in the car without begging first? Lol I’m sure your parents have some of this music in their playlists. EWF was my favorite band back in the day; saw them perform several times. Their live shows were awesome and they also included magical illusions.

They were a great performance in person....Band took up entire stage. Saw them several times

I’m black but grew up in a Caribbean household so we really listened to Soca and not a lot of classics. It’s so lovely hearing this song and finally understanding and really feeling the lyrics.

I was a young, pregnant hippy and got caught on top of a fence I was trying to climb over to see Earth Wind and Fire by the cops. One of them helped me down and said anybody that wanted to see a group that bad could go on in

Because of this song September 21 is ‘Earth, Wind and Fire Day’

Saw them twice last time in 2022 This is one of my favorites ( but they have many other songs this has special meaning to me, they sounded phenomenal). Glad the younger generation is exposed to them!!🔥🎼💃🎤❤️❤️❤️! I remember my sister and myself watching Soul Train on Saturday mornings but Earth, Wind and Fire is my favorite group🎶🥰💃🔥🔥🙏❤️. This song came out in 1978 !!! 🥰💃🎶🔥🕺🏻

I’m a 90’s kid and I love earth wine and fire! My parents always listened to the em when I was a child so it brings up good memories

I’m gonna recommend listening to Cameo’s “Word Up.” One of the biggest hits of the 80s.

These are stage costumes from the 70s. Nobody was wearing all this glitter on a regular day.

Thanks, guys - this band was amazing -- Maurice White is the lead singer - but his brother Verdine White is just about the most amazing and energetic bass player I've ever seen...

I’m m was a big fan in 1977! I saw them in concert in 77, and they were great! I was a senior In highest back then. Now I’m a grandfather and Earth Wind and Fire is still my favorite band!
