These men, this band, this family of poets transported my entire soul when I was a child. The more you listen the deeper the message gets. Timeless.

"Maurice White, My Life With Earth Wind and Fire," by Herb Powell. For serious EWF fans, this is an account of Maurice White's cherished memories from his mouth, going back to those childhood days in Memphis, where his fascination with drumming, and marching band parades, first started. The book is a must have keepsake, for the fire still burning in all of us, from this man's dream turned reality, Earth Wind, and Fire.

It blew my mind when I read how Maurice White picked cotton. Later he wrote a slave song called "Ain't no Harm to Moan"

EW&F was on a TV special last night, and I've been binging ever since. Verdine is a class act, and Philip Bailey's vocal range is insane.

Verdine White is such a big teddy bear in heart. One of the greatest bass player of all time. I am a true fan of EWF and glad to say that Verdine White, Philip Bailey and Ralph Johnson are keeping the 🎶 music and the vision of Maurice White alive by passing on the music to our young people. My Neices and Nephews and great my great Neices & Nephews know the music of Earth Wind & Fire!!!These guys are true legends. Their music will live on.🎶 🎵 🧸

Verdine is a humble human being and I had the honor of doing a show opening for EWF in 2000 in Morocco. It was an unusual show (I was playing bass with Eartha Kitt) that featured Eartha Kitt, EWF and James Brown for the King's 37th Birthday. We only had the one performance, but we were in Rabat, the Capital, for 3 days. I had a chance to do my own interview with Verdine and learn a lot of history of which I'm grateful. With that said, the photo you have at the introduction of this video (:53 mark) is not Verdine's bass teacher and EWF Horns trombonist Louis Satterfield. That's Philadelphia bassist and Ornette Coleman alum Jamalaadeen Tacuma.

The interviewer asked how they stayed together for so many years, but if you think about it, Earth, Wind. and Fire is Verdine, Philip and Ralph. There were nine all together. Other than Maurice I would’ve asked what happened to the other five, Larry Dunn, Al McKay, brother Fred White (who just passed away), Andrew Woolfolk(who died last spring) and Johnny Graham?

Im late to the party. VERY GOOD INTERVIEW. I grew up listening to EW&F and the COMMODORES. 　In my opinion!!! EWF and the COMMODORES are the best 2 R&B soul bands in the history of American R&B music. Which band is number 1 is arguable? In my opinion!!! MINT CONDITION is a solid number 3 for best R&B band of all time.
