Hi, My name is David Romero. I was the percussionist with EWF from 6/94-1/00. I enjoyed Philip singing “Reasons” many nights and killing it every time! The man was blessed with a God given talent and he’d be the first to tell how “thankful” he is to our Heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing your reaction. Be blessed.

The live versions of Reasons destroy the album versions simply because they let Philip Bailey hit the SHIT out of those high notes.

Absolutely love this song. This song was on every Saturday growing up when we were cleaning the house.. Miss you Mom. R.I.P. 💕

Earth Wind And Fire Are The Goats 🙏💙😇

Earth, Wind & Fire "That's The Way Of The World".. Trust me you'll LOVE it!!!

It blows my mind that, when I was a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s, it was common to hear phrases like "white people music" or "black music". As a huge music fan, I'm so glad I never let myself be boxed in. My taste in music is all over the place... RnB , classic rock, motown, jazz (bebop, fusion, acid jazz, bossa nova...), funk, soul, house music, hip hop, trip hop and so on. Music is universal. Musicians know that, and serious music fans eventually see that, if they don't already. Just watch music documentaries or listen to interviews. That's where you get to see who your favorite artists were influenced by. I've been pleasantly surprised by a lot of things I've learned over the years. I loved this reaction and am glad you appreciate great musicianship, which doesn't seem to be as much of a priority the way it once was. Did you know that EW&F and the band Chicago have collaborated quite a bit over the years. In fact, I think one of the guys in Chicago wrote a number of songs for EW&F. The keyboardist, I think. The groups have even toured together. Yeah, Chicago is another band I really like... mostly their stuff from the 70s. I have a dvd of one of the concerts they played together several years ago... real good stuff, man. I love those horn sections!

Whoever gave the thumbs down after having it posted for less than 10 Seconds is a tool with no life

Earth Wind and Fire stays in my play lists. I'm surprised how much a metal head is vibing with them!

"Clinic" sums it up exactly. There's so many great things going on in this performance from a musician perspective. Cool!

I gave a thumbs up before watching this video Earth wind and fire never disappoint React to War - Slippin in to Darkness Please you'll love it

The horn section aka the Phoenix Horns also played with Phil Collins and Genesis. RIP Maurice White.

Vaughan Mason And Crew- BOUNCE, ROCK, SKATE, ROLL .

The Whispers - And the beat goes on ( I think u will like that one also)

That whole concert is legendary. I've been watching those performances since I was little, now almost 32. 50s through 80s soul is absolutely everything

I wore their records out as a kid. Prolly my favorite band off all time. When I grew up and had my only son, EW&F was our morning music. Every morning for years. They are so uplifting. I love them so much.

Try The Stylistics - Children of the Night. They're lead singer sings in falseto too. I love the vibe n feel of the song.

I grew up in the 70's and 80's, and although I was mostly a metalhead in the 80's, I did like all sorts of music that I was being exposed to at the time. Earth, Wind, and Fire was one bad I could always groove to.

Did u catch the sax-off he had with dude! Phil regularly uses his voice to perfectly impersonate instruments. And it’s NUTS

Love that you are enjoying EW&F, they have been one of my favorite bands forever

U gotta find various live because Philip does it different all the time and it’s mind boggling

Heatwave = Always and Forever

Enjoyed the reaction. Another group to listen, Switch lead vocal is Bobby DeBarge older brother of Al Debarge. The song to listen is 'I call your name'.

“This has every element” that’s why they called them the mightiest elements of the universe.

This is one of my favorite songs from this band. I remember first hearing this as a teenager back in the late 70s. Glad you're discovering this band. Cheers

and that Band!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Metal biker dude for president

The album “Head to the Sky” , my favorite cut on the album is Zanzibar 💯

You should listen to the Isley Brothers

I cant wait for you to listen to boogie wonderland. I think we might even see you dance😆😆😆

The Irony of Philip Bailey is he is and has said he is actually a Tenor not a falsetto

I used to wait tables in college & the dishwasher was always singing this song. And he sang it well.

Hey Metal Biker Dude, this song holds a special place. In my heart. This was the song I fell in love with my very first girlfriend. We connected this year after so many years apart and it's like we never split up.

Phillip Bailey practiced Opera

It makes me so happy to see young cats like you learn what real Singing and music is all about

As a kid of the 70's growing up in Los Angeles, every weekend the grills were smoking people having a great time at the park and E.W. & F. Blasting on the radio's...🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

Just seeing how much you enjoy this music makes my heart happy. Thank you for this!

How about some Rick James and The Gap Band? 👍✌️....like that you're playing some of the funk I grew up with.

I’m loving your reactions dude I feel like you’re a caterpillar morphing into a butterfly when you take a journey into these new genres.

Your reaction is A++!

Hey Biker Dude, just found your channel,and your EW&F reviews. I am a 60 some year old white guy who has been listening to EW&F since the mid 70’s, one of the greatest bands and surviving the test of time bands ever. You have been playing classic old school EW&F the original members including the founder the late Maurice White. Their concerts the last 10 years have been just as good. The ultimate concerts are the Chicago & EW&F playing together, doing each others songs, its like a 30 piece hybrid band of two of the best bands. Check them out….

I can GUARANTEE you that you will love The Isley Brothers. You should react to them, as they have at least a dozen great songs you could enjoy.

I always said p.bailey had the greatest falsetto... judge edging out Eddie Kendricks. Great vid

Wowwww that was a damn awesome reaction sir... Love it....

Check out Devotions by Earth Wind and Fire for another really classic song. Promise it will move you (sorry if you already seen/heard it).

LOVED your reaction to this beautiful performance.

Love your reaction. ❤

Hey Dirty, I think you would really enjoy Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. Here are some songs you should check out Crusin’, The Agony & The Ecstasy, The Tracks Of My Tears, You Really Got A Hold On Me.

I saw them live in spfld ma..in 1978...the best concert....

"Mr. Mental"!!! I am just getting to you to subscribe to your channel and I so, so "LOVE" your spirit and reaction to these "Legends" of R and B, Earth, Wind, and Fire!!!! I feel you!!!! As a 55 year old, who is a true music lover, yet my soul lends to R and; B., Jazz and Hip Hop I am open to almost every gene, to say aware of what is out in the music world!!! I could reccomend a host of legendary R and B bands that will make your spirit soar, such as WAR!!! Their major hits include: Galaxy, Why Canr We Be Friends, The World is a Ghetto, etc. "Oh My", , I just thought, for some serious "riding", "chilling-vibe" type of groove, please get into The O Jays!!!🎼👏🏽 This trio hails from Ohio, but beings ,what was coined in the 70's as the "Philly Sound" of Philadelphia!!! "So. So smooth"!!! Listen to for sure: Darling, Darling Baby, She Used to be My Girl, Loving You, I Love Music, Got to Give the People, etc. It just does not get too much better then these 3 outstanding voices!!!! Please check it soon!!! 🎹🎷🎺🎙🎼🎙 "Keep Loving the music"!!!!😉🎙❤

Love this reaction 😊

You gotta check out Tower of Power's What is Hip!

Okay. By now, I am sure you know of Maurice White (leader, founder, producer, drummer and co- lead vocalist of this amazing orchestra). He's on the Timbales (stand up drums) in this video you're reviewing. My favorite member of the EWF. The tune reasons is about comprehending one night stands - on the road, etc...👍☮️🎼🕎♋

HI METAL BIKER! I JUST SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL. PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE. I WAS FEELING KINDA SAD BUT YOU MADE ME BEAM FROM EAR TO EAR! THANK YOU FOR THAT SIR.☺🎶🎤💙🎤🎶

The best version of this live is on the "Gratitude" album. Trust me, it sets the frame for this version.

What I love about your vids, is that you make me take a closer listen to some of my faves. If you ever do GREAT DUETS. please do FIRE & DESIRE by Rick James & Teena Marie.

Awesomeness!

EWF does not disappoint! They are greatness!!!! You should do a review on MC Breed "Aint no future in yo frontin" classic Hip Hop joint.

I know why you're mesmerized....I saw them in Philadelphia at the Spectrum in the 70's and at times when he was battling with the sax it was hard at times to tell who was hitting the high notes. It was so beautiful, natural and in sync.Continue the good music bro..I'm from the mainline of Philly and grew up on Steely Dan,Fleetwood Mac,Yes,Alman Brothers,Doobie bros,the Police as well as R & B and jazz. Peace bro

React to the live version of Sun Goddess off the Gratitude album by EFW. You won't be disappointed. Even better live version of Reasons on that album. They play so beautiful, don't you agree?

OMG. I used to go out clubin’ and dancing to E.W.&F. back in the 70’s. I used to have all of their vinyl albums. I loved this band. My favorite song of theirs is “Money”. Talk about funky. Money money money, Money! DAYUM, Metal Biker dude. Now I’ve got to go dig up some old E.W.&F. tunes, strap on my head phones and funk out.

I've been listening to this song since he high in the early 70's. PLEASE stop breaking in so much

Perfection

Just wow! Good music all day.

Okay --- now you need to listen to the Bee Gees singing "Too Much Heaven" ----Barry Gibb has a killer falsetto

Got a like just for the caption lol...the Elements will do that to you

I love that you applauded at the end. More EWF!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

im a head banger too but tihis is magic , tnks from brazil

Back in the day if you could not get it done to Reasons, You had NO GAME!!!!

Check out earth wind and fire-devotion and keep your head to they sky

Funny You mentioned element! The group's *underground-aka name is The Elements!

Anyone who saw EWF live will tell you, albums and videos, do them no justice. Copperfield illusions, amazing showmanship, and freakin outstanding music. Thanks for reviewing, enjoy your videos.

Enjoyed your reaction to probably the greatest band of all times with Philip Bailey... If you haven't already check out Rick James & Teena Marie" " Fire and Desire"....

We love each and everyone of you💕

Thank's, for the information on the Head Voice "Fauceto" Singing with power..Head + Chest = POWER...

GODS!

loving you minnie riperton i think you will love it.

wholesome

U cant do EWF without doing Isley Brothers it's like having Joe Frazier without George Forman

My favorite EW&F song 💜

Hey Dirty, you should listen to Wyclef Jean feat. The Product G&B and Earth Wind and Fire - Runnaway. They made an exeption for Wyclef doing an original feature.

Hey! MBD! I'd like you to react to Silk Sonic's debut album, An Evening With Silk Sonic from start to finish! I'd like to see your reaction to that album. Incidentally, the album is narrated by Bootsy Collins of Parliament Funkadelic fame. Fun fact, Bootsy played with James Brown back in the day!

“The Clinic “ elements “hence EWF” 😉😊

Grew up in the 70s listening to old school rock but I will always have time for some EWF

Yaaaaaaas Brotha.....RESPECT TO EWF SWITCH ( I Call Your Name) COMMODORES (Zoom) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥People...Do yourselves a favor...Look up any 70's and 80's Bands and Singers....Your life will not Sound The Same🙌🙏

Check out Philip Bailey's 'Continuation' album (or CD, or whatever is best now).

If you think this song is incredible you need to listen to love's Holiday from them. Beautiful song

Hey Bro if you get a chance listen to Brothers Johnson stomp the best bass line in a song period

React to James Brown ! I think you will like it ! Songs like : People get up and drive your funky soul / get up offa that thing

Love EWF!!!

Do "Fantasy" by EWF

I suggest lately by Stevie Wonder. I suppose you must be familiar with it though.

You Shoul Reacts to Funkadelic - Baby I Owe You Something Good i think you will like it

I think you would really like songs by Sly & The Family Stone like everyday people, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) or dance to the music and others

💗💯💥

This song is a classic from 1975

The elements of the universe were the first black band playing stadiums with million dollar budgets only given to white bands previously. EWF was an amazing band.

When you get a chance bro check out James Brown Live on The Tami Show performing "Please Please Please". It's the hardest working man in showbiz at his best..

@9:08 Dude, we understand. They tend to have that effect on listeners.

Hey brother if you like Earth Wind and Fire you'll love The Gap Band as well. Check Outstanding by them. Yearning for your love is another good one.

I’m 62 and a hard rocker , but if you didn’t play EWF you weren’t getting a date !!!!
