    I am Japanese. When I was in elementary school, this album was on my parents' CD list, so I secretly borrowed it and listened to it often on my music video. This is my favorite song because it has a very clear singing voice and lyrics that make me feel emotional. Since this song, I have always included Earth, Wind and Fire's songs in the audio of my Walkman, smartphone, and car navigation system.

    Pure and brilliant without auto-tune. This song came out in 1977. Philip Bailey nailed this from beginning till the fade out. My opinion he did not deserved enough credits for his sensational vocals. Talking about falsetto. Shhhhh...

      *Chi-Lites, Temptations, Blue Magic, Dramatics, Stylistics, Bloodstone, Ray , Goodman & Brown, Cameo, Con Funk Shun, Heat Wave , Switch, The Force MD's , Lakeside & Imagination*...they had some very polished falsetto singers of their own😊

    Maurice White took the group to Brazil for a little R&R and to prep them for recording sessions for this album, they came back fresh and ready to roll worked hard and put out their best album ever, the trip to Brazil heavily influence the group's sound, Brazilian Rhyme (Beijo) a popular song in Brazil was sampled on the album, I'll Write a Song for You with its beautiful guitar intro from Al McKay and Phillips falsetto voice made the song special

    This song was sent to me today by a close friend who was in the band that played for this play I was in as teenagers. I always loved this song. It’s a love song and many more genres all in one. I have not heard this since the 70’s. It brought back sooooo many remorse’s. Just when I was feeling a little funky. I needed to hear this today. Now I feel great. And I remembered true love and innocents and being worry free. This was truly a blessing to me when it came out as well as today!!!

A timeless masterpiece that takes me to so many beautiful places and times in my life. It reminds me of childhood, adulthood, family, friends and so many great experiences. This song is a beautiful light of its own. It’s a classic I have enjoyed since the 1970’s. 🙏☮️💕🙏
