Phillip Bailey's falsetto is everything! I love Earth, Wind, and Fire! They are the top of the top of all those great seventies bands with the great horn and percussion sections!! Everything they touched was gold!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of THE greatest bands in MUSIC period!! Philip Bailey, Maurice White two of the greatest vocalists and musicians of all time.... I've always loved this album cover, classic music right here!!
Still can't believe this song is 50 years old now. This song was one of the catalyst of creating what is now known as the Quiet Storm sub-genre of R&B, which was invented at Howard University. When this song came out, people kept calling the radio station from the dorms to get Melvin Lindsay (RIP) to keep playing this song on repeat (yeah I'm sure you can figure out why, LOL).
Hello young lady, if you like this version of Reasons you should check out their live album Gratitude I think it came out in 1975 on their live tour. The whole album is beautiful! Have a Friday and weekend🌜🌌🎼👍😎☮️ Oh and I love your show, keep up the good work!👍😎☮️
Continue your journey with the elements of the universe...EARTH, WIND, and FIRE!! The Gratitude live version is a classic. But, really...go see them in concert LIVE!! It's real transforming...how lucky I was able to see them live in 5 decades!! The GOAT band!!
My favorite band of all time. Philip Bailey is a badass man. My childhood in music right here. You're a beautiful young lady spread this music I'm here with ya
I’ve heard this song, of course I have, but I never listened to it. I couldn’t have even told you who the artist was. In fact, I had to play the video to be sure I knew it. It seems like music just played on the radio for me, I never looked into the artists or bought albums, unless it was a greatest hits album. So I missed out on a lot of great music growing up and now there is no more great music (imo!) So I’m rediscovering the oldies along with the younger generation. 🤷♀️😄
Philip Bailey says he happy that people love the song. He found out that fans have actually gotten married and used this song. He realized people didn’t listen to the lyrics.
love EWF! you would also like Tower of Power-Attitude Dance, or Average White Band- If I Ever Lose This Heaven. i really enjoy your reactions! Thank you!
I used to wonder sometime about efw live performances, if some parts were Memorex lol. like when they would sing boogie wonderland you can hear the emotion's background vocal parts from the original song. anyone ever questioned that.
I'm late to your channel but I have been watching your react to EW&F and I love that you love them as much as my generation still does. They are ICONS and LEGENDS. They are our beloved cherished group.
Maurice White is legendary !! He's on my Mount Rushmore of music. He can write lyrics, compose the music, play multiple instruments, sing, engineer and produce. You can barely count on one hand, the number of individuals in American music, that excel at those aforementioned disciplines.
My favorite song of all time❤❤❤❣️ I first fell in love with the live version, but over the years the studio version is now my #1!! The arrangement, instrumentation, musicianship, and emotion is par none!!!
THIS IS TOO WONDERFUL>>>SEE GABRIEL HENRIQUE FROM GOT TALENTS! It's great Ashley to see your vibe with Philip Bailey, I love it so much. black music is wonderful.
HI Ashley can you do I can't get over you by the Dramatics . Would love to know what you think. Earth wind in first was way far before their time incredible group. Peace and one love 💘 thanks love your reaction videos ❤❤❤.
As others have already said, you need to listen to the live version of this of song. From the "Gratitude" Double LP. This original studio mastered track just pales in comparison--nice, but nothing of the power and depth you hear when you hear it live. Hear "Reasons" off Gratitude and hear Philip Bailey at his very best.
I absolutely love this song but it not quite what most people think it’s about. If you listen to the lyrics carefully, according to a interview that Phillip Bailey the lead singer of EWF, this song was about meeting a one night stand. The phrase “ love have been played “ was about convincing a woman to go home with you that night. Then he saids“ in the morning after the love games have been played and all of our dillusions will just go away “. Lol
This song was about what was supposed to be a one night stand, but the next day, he figured out he loved this woman ! A true classic !
That’s what songs like this do
Earth, Wind, and Fire are the greatest band ever, hands down.
My hand is down with you!!!
Best band of all time! Listen to the live version!
Agreed!!!
The live version from their Gratitude album even tops this.
ABSOLUTELY!
i dont want to agree but i will say it is very very good. Reasons Live is FIRE!
Earth Wind and Fire is probably the greatest band of all time. Funkadelic is up there too!
Phillip Bailey's falsetto is everything! I love Earth, Wind, and Fire! They are the top of the top of all those great seventies bands with the great horn and percussion sections!! Everything they touched was gold!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You definitely have to hear the live version of this.......I guarantee it will be one of the best videos you will ever see.
BINGO!!! plus 1
Elements one of my favorites all time as well.

Maurice White is legendary !! He's on my Mount Rushmore of music. He can write lyrics, compose the music, play multiple instruments, sing, engineer and produce. You can barely count on one hand, the number of individuals in American music, that excel at those aforementioned disciplines.
There are people that come to their concerts with their grandchildren because they are feeling EWF too. What other groups could say the same?
This song is simply beautiful these are the songs I grew up listening too
"King Osirus" (NOW)->I'm Craving Your Body, Is This Real? ->Temperature Rising, I Dont Wanna Feel, ->I'm In The Wrong Place To Be Real?
Ashley requesting standing on the top by Rick James and the Temptations you would definitely love that
Gerald Levert - Baby hold on to me. Casanova and many more.
This was a moms slapper.
My favorite song of all time❤❤❤❣️
I first fell in love with the live version, but over the years the studio version is now my #1!!
The arrangement, instrumentation, musicianship, and emotion is par none!!!
You should listen to the live version of this. It's better than the recording.
I have that original's Long Play since 1975!!
Beautiful!
That’s the way of the world EWF.
🔥🔥🔥
Listen to this live version and hear Phillip and the Saxophonist go head to head. FIRE TO THE SOUL
Ashley, you'r looking good baby!
Special time to be alive.
I'm an old head! Young woman, I love you energy!!!
Got to be blessed with the chance to see these guys in concert back in the day. Bucket list item checked off for sure.
THIS IS TOO WONDERFUL>>>SEE GABRIEL HENRIQUE FROM GOT TALENTS! It's great Ashley to see your vibe with Philip Bailey, I love it so much. black music is wonderful.
HI Ashley can you do I can't get over you by the Dramatics . Would love to know what you think. Earth wind in first was way far before their time incredible group. Peace and one love 💘 thanks love your reaction videos ❤❤❤.
Please understand, this is not a love song. It's so beautiful that it feels and sounds like one. It's about a one night stand.
la classe
As others have already said, you need to listen to the live version of this of song. From the "Gratitude" Double LP. This original studio mastered track just pales in comparison--nice, but nothing of the power and depth you hear when you hear it live.
Hear "Reasons" off Gratitude and hear Philip Bailey at his very best.
Ashley I would like for you to react to the Dells the love we had the live version
I remember someone said they wanted this song as their wedding song, then they found out it was about a one night stand.
Earth wind an Fire the coolest band
Much fun! Love you❤
Listen to Don't Go by Dreamboy oldie but goodie sounds like Prince
Lenny Williams- Cause I love you.
I absolutely love this song but it not quite what most people think it’s about. If you listen to the lyrics carefully, according to a interview that Phillip Bailey the lead singer of EWF, this song was about meeting a one night stand. The phrase “ love have been played “ was about convincing a woman to go home with you that night. Then he saids“ in the morning after the love games have been played and all of our dillusions will just go away “. Lol
Now you know why we were making so many babies. EW&F is a very deep hole. Keep going. You won't be disappointed.
When you could make a song about a one night stand sound classy.
I don’t know which song is better this one or always and forever by heatwave
Check out the song from the spinners it takes a fool
Mr Phillip Bailey
