      Maurice White produced this one, which made this stand out within the "Sgt. Pepper" soundtrack in the same way Elton John's "Pinball Wizard" (which had his own backing band and producer Gus Dudgeon) was the saving grace of the soundtrack to the film version of The Who's "Tommy." It really stands out in contrast to the paint-by-numbers carbon copy version of "Come Together" as by Aerosmith - which, like most of the rest of the soundtrack (save for this one), was produced by ex-Beatles producer George Martin. Thank G-d EWF stayed away from Martin!

      I feel The Beatles version was an homage to the Motown style which is especially evident in the vocal harmonies. Earth, Wind, and Fire had some inspiration from Motown as well. So it's beautiful to see how each band was influenced by Motown and came to their own conclusions with this song.

    Genius...they didnt actually pick this song...by the time they had to record...as they had left it late many songs were already taken by other bands...maybe divine intervention...but being EW&F they would have made any cover brilliant and theirs...forever a solid piece of History and in our hearts 💕

      So you know something is good when the person who wrote the song is willing to step back and let someone else SHINE on their song without it being a major problem.

It certainly a superb redition of four musical genious'sez it all back,of when call and response was stolen from the field hands doing gosple to the king of heaven . Sseeds of the blues planted on American soil Its getting difficult to research material in response to your question about un contaimenated material as accurate.but does'nt really matter to the point of mote. Earthly jealousy is not edifying in the long run. I personally play this song to a sister to let her know how I really feel about her.

At first,i sort of shook my head and laughing when I picked it up at the record shop especially to see a group like them do a Beatles song…but when I got home I was bitterly mistaken. Very funny movie and great record! Live record shopping and glad I came across this little gem✌️
