I had the pleasure of serving them back in 1976 when they were doing a concert in Mobile Alabama. I was 8 months pregnant and they treated me so special. One amazing group!
every kid should be exposed to earth, wind and fire because their songs all about positivity, life and love . my favorite early 80's R&B songs would be... just be good to me - sos band and the beat goes on - the whispers give me the night - george benson early in the morning - the gap band ain't nobody - rufus with chaka khan never too much - luther vandross so good, so right - imagination
PLEASE DO THIS SONG AGAIN. BUT THE UNEDITED, 4;37 minutes version from the All N All album (which you should hear in its entirety, by the way). Your rating will go up!
Brax1982 You must have a tin ear. You can’t tell the difference between the Beach Boys versus the Who or Led Zeppelin versus earth wind and fire? They all had their own distinct sound and styles. You must be young.
@@panda9144 That's different genres, I thought we were still talking about funk-based bands. You should be able to figure out how "young" I am. You are an eagle, after all.
@Shock Right. Disco is not based in funk and this song does not sound funky, at all. How silly of me to think there could be a connection. It was not easier to be different when far less genres existed and some sounds were not even invented, yet. That's reasonable. And yes, I don't know anything about music after listening to thousands of songs and dozens of genres. Makes sense. I know at least more about it than I ever knew about Mortal Kombat (except how to spell it).
@Shock Ah, the millenial shaming...that's the problem with you "old" people. Innovation and change is only commendable when it's from the "good ol' days". The young whippersnappers are all dirty lazy uncultured gamers that succumb to modern capitalism. They don't know "our" music, so they don't know music, period. How could they possibly be inaccurate about something once. Surely they must be idiots all the time! And now get off my lawn! ...oh wait, that's YOUR way of arguing. Let's try this my way... Sils brought up something completely unrelated, apples and oranges comparison (another generalization based on generation, obviously), so I navigated back to the ballpark, at least. I admit I was slightly wrong. Even listened to the whole thing, again. This particular song is not exactly disco. It's not prototypical funk, of course. But you must be joking if you are telling me there's no hint of it. This is also not too far away from disco. It's closer to those than to R&B or soul. Based on this song, they were clearly leaning the way of funk/disco at this point in time. Probably in a move to go more commercial, because R&B/Soul are (were?) different charts. I don't know. I am not familiar with a ton of EW&F, granted. Like everyone else, I know their hits. September is totally disco. I don't remember anything else, right now. Based on that, I should not make generalizations, that is true. But who cares? Doesn't hurt one of the best-selling groups of all time. Besides, there's warriors like yourself setting the record straight, even on here. You could do it in a less grumpy fashion, though. FYI: I barely qualify as a millenial, I don't give a shit about Black Friday, I haven't been a "gamer" in at least a decade and I also "regret" that I even pointed out the spelling, because that is indeed silly. Had to find something that I actually know about what you accuse me of knowing inside-and-out...
You can‘t go wrong with EWF. I love the whole late 70’s funk vibe. I recently discovered Brothers Johnson from that era and love it. The vocals are weak but everything else is pretty solid. The bass player is a beast. Here's a link to a video of Ain't We Funkin' Now playing on a spinning turntable. It really creates the mood for that era. ua-cam.com/video/dYKNPMpPMFo/v-deo.html This particular version has an extra long outtro that I don't care for, though, because it's too long.
Lol, thanks for watching! No one has heard every song regardless of how popular it may be in some circles. But that's why I brought this song to the channel; its a staple for me and I wanted to share it with someone who isn't as familiar with this genre (just as its been done vice versa). -JP
Gratitude from Earth, Wind & Fire is a great live album. The introduction and crowd reaction will give you chills. I tend to listen to the keys first, and Larry Dunn is great. I think that Phil Collins is a fan because he’s worked with Philip Bailey and the horn section in the past.
I had to look up the details, but yes they did a duet on Easy Lover. It was when Collins was “the hardest working man” in the music industry. He produced Bailey’s second solo album, Chinese Wall.
The first time I heard Earth wind and fire was in 1975 that was the year that I was in the army Fort ord California. They were the band back in the day.but the first group that I was obsessed with was the Jackson 5
Three times is a charm! Parliament/Funkadelic and Bootsy Collins. Maggot Brain P-Funk Flashlight I'd Rather be with you Mothership Connection Munchies for your love Telephone Bill
E W, and F where one of the great pop/funk bands of all time. Their live performances are incredible. Terrific musicianship, terrific harmonies. Try "Let's Groove", "Boogie Wonderland", "Reasons", "September", "After The Love Is Gone", "Shining Star", and "Sing A Song". Also, if you like Ella and Frank try today's young Cecile McLorin Salvant.
@@jpmp1201 Go beyond the song suggestions here. They are just picking stuff they heard on the radio - the hits. EWF DEEP CUTS, is where it's at!!!! For example: POWER (studio version), NEW WORLD SYMPHONY, RUNNIN', CLOVER, ZANZIBAR, FACES, PRIDE, AFTER THE LOVE (transitions into)......../LET YOUR FEELINGS SHOW, TEE NINE CHEE BIT, KALIMBA STORY, KEEP YOUR HEAD TO THE SKY, YEARNIN' LEARNIN', REASONS (both studio and live versions), NEVER, WANNA BE WITH YOU/THE CHANGING TIMES, MOONWALK, WE'RE LIVING IN OUR OWN TIME, BACK ON THE ROAD, LOVE'S HOLIDAY/BRAZILIAN RHYME, DEPARTURE (long and short versions), BIYO, ON YOUR FACE, SPASMODIC MOOD, DRUM SONG and AFRICANO (studio and live versions). Just to name a few.
Harold Melvin is not funk, its R&B. EW&F is a conglomeration of multiple genres. For me and I am a child of the 70's EWF is the best group ever of all times.
I just found y'all and I've been binging your videos. I really like that y'alls taste is so different from my own. I'd love to hear your thoughts on neutral milk hotel. The song In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is the most single-like song to listen to, but Two Headed Boy and Two Headed Boy Pt. 2 are the best in my opinion.
Yeah, that was cool. I'm at 3.5 on this song. My all time favorite funk/disco song is Play that Funky Music by Wild Cherry. My all time favorite band in this genre is Chic. The combo with Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards was magic. The grooves they could come up with will and forever be simply the best. Justin have you ever heard of House Music? The Funk and Disco craze in the 70's was the music played in the dance clubs at the time. With the advances of the synthesizer gave way to New Wave, House and Techno music in the dance clubs during the 80's to early 90's. Check out Stevie B "Diamond Girl" and Shannon "Give me Tonight" as samples of House Music.
I've definitely heard/listened to house music, but I can't say that I'm familiar with those names. I may have heard Diamond Girl...can't recall off the top of my head. -JP
Someone who loves music and doesn't know September seems...strange. EWF are gold (🔥🌟❣platinum TBH) in all aspects of musicianship. Love this song ❤ (but it's just one of DOZENS of theirs I love).
Yeah Earth, Wind and Fire is personal favorite in funk. You guys should check out Outlaw by War which is a good funk song, though War has many good songs. Also didn't know you had a Dream Theater phase. *Coughs* Haken *Cough* is totally something you need to revisit. In fact when MIke Portnoy toured as Shattered Fortress (Doing dream theater songs) he hired members of Haken. Lastly, for experimental funk fun, I also recommend you guys check out Thundercat.
My generation. I was more into progressive rock but for the record. Earth Wind and Fire... magic. Like Beach Boys. Their wind/horn section amazingly tight
Just out of sheer curiosity. If I would like you to possible in a future look into a tune to react to... do I drop the suggestion here in YT or you have other way to talk with your subs?
JPMP OK. Twitter is not for me :-) I drop a group for you that you might like, might not. Heavy progressive new rock. Motion Device from Canada. The song I would like to see you reaction on is a whopping 21:12 min long (as a homenaje to Rush 2112) Infinite Wave ua-cam.com/video/XwAWxVICe7M/v-deo.html The first 6 min mysterious Pink Floydish, the coming 8 minutes a bit old school Black Sabbath vibes (though female singer) and last 7 minutes an opus in beauty. You might like it a lot or not 😎
I get what you’re saying about any “progressive” music. Sometimes the notion to try to be more articulate becomes forced and it’s evident. But the 70s was purely natural and articulate at the same time. Golden era of music.
FYI, Michael McDonald was a back up singer in several Steely Dan albums. Also a singer for the Doobie Bros if I’m not mistaken. He was the Captain of the SS Yawn 💤. Christopher Cross was first mate and Kenny Loggins was on the poop deck. Although I do kinda like Bruce Hornsby and the Range...”Some Things never Change”
“The Hu combines Rock Music with traditional Mongolian instrumentation.” ((The vocals are pretty-darn amazing too! The cinematography …don’t make me tell you. PLEASE check them out for yourself! ))
Now check out the version from Live At The Greek. Wait until Philip Bailey hits the notes climbing the stairs at the end. And #RIPMauriceWhite. New subscriber. Also Candy Dulfer "Pick Up The Pieces" live.
Was this an edited version? Seems shorter than the version i listen to. Still...what a fucking tune, eh lads? Interesting fact: Philip Bailey, the singer, had to stretch an elastic band around his balls to get his voice that high. No pain, no gain.
Manna. No Philip Bailey didn’t have to stretch a rubber band around his balls to get his voice that high. That’s called falsetto. It’s a singing style that allows your voice to go into a higher level in the vocal register. It’s a very difficult thing to do.
Everyone who are watching this video, like this comment if you want them to react to one of the best Songs released this year. Hahaha Opeth, Heart in Hand. I'm addicted. Reaaaaally addicted. I don't remember me being addicted like this in a long, long, loooooong time. Maybe since I discover Steven Wilson's work. Anyway, I'm addicted. Sorry guys, but, come in guys! Hahaha The End.
I love Earth, Wind & Fire! 5 all dayyyyyyyyy! :D 1. The Mars Volta - The Widow 2. Steam Powered Giraffe - Automatonic Electronics Harmonics 3. RX Bandits - Apparition 4. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Wet Sand 5. Thomas Giles - Sleep Shake 6. Closure In Moscow - Seeds Of Gold 7. Polyphia - G.O.A.T. 8. Thank You Scientist - Mr. Invincible 9. Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body 10. Gossip - Standing In The Way Of Control
EWF is easily in the top ten bands, EVER, if not top 5. Saying the words 'Chili Peppers' is an insult. Compared to contemporaries like Fishbone or later, Rage Against the Machine - CP is a top 40 band. But EWF is on an astral plane of their own, period.
Lol - there were 9 - 12 members of the band. Yes, Phil sang (AND PLAYED CONGAS) on it. But, that's it. He didn't write or arrange it either. Say, "GO MAURICE WHITE". After your research, you'll understand why I say that.
The male on the left: I guess your parents never taught you to carry tissues so you can wipe your nose. Now thanks to covid, we dont have to shake hands like yours. Damn!
I like this one but it's only 3 for me. You guys have too much fun! Keep up the good .. work? Cool and The Gang - cherish the love. It was very popular. KC and the Sunshine Band - please don't go . My fav of theirs. Climax Blues Band - I Want You
Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes were not funk, the were soul/rnb. James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic, Brothers Johnson, Ohio Players, GAP band is funk.
Who the hell doesnt know the song september or at least heard snipets of it....but knows the more obscure song fantasy? I find that to be completel utter BS
Cover don't sound like this. I will say a heard a very good cover understand, they wrote, produce and vocals can't be duplicated. if you can't write it, produce it, it don't count. Fantancy 8 plus. Listen more to the production. EWF anin't never and will never be a 5. You don't have a clue.
The red hot chili peppers do not play funk music. Harold melvin & the blue notes is strictly r&b. Funk is like the fatback band, bootsy collins, parliament & funkadelic too many name. EWF started off the doing jazz music then crossover doing r&b funk pop even fusing rock universal band SMH.
The disco kind of funk never did much for me, in general. September is a banger. This one, not so much. Update: This is not disco. Sorry, if that offended you.
Brax1982: Thank you for noting this is not disco. I looked all down the comments to see if anyone would know the truth that EW&F is not disco. I grew up during the 70's and I used to listen to disco all night because at that time that was pretty much all that was on the radio after 10 p.m. Disco was a very monotonous type music and EW&F was anything but that.

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes are Straight 🔥 and Of The R&B Genre' My Dear.
Back in the day bands wanted to be different. Have their own sound and style.
Back in the day it was also easier to be different. Besides, they did not sound THAT different, come on!

@Andrew Kosiba: THAT'S WHAT i'm sayin'!!🎯🎯
The Isley Brother's from the 3+3 album forward. Voyage to Atlantis is a favorite of mine from the Go For Your Guns album.
When I first heard Voyage to Atlantis on this compilation album I bought, I parked my car and played this on repeat. I was BLOWN AWAY.
IMO Their best song, love this!!

hell yeah. Earth, Wind & Fire was totally on fire in 1975.
I love the term " heavy hitter". That's exactly what Earth Wind and Fire is! To this day!
"It's your Day .. Shining Day .. All Your Dreams Come True" .... This is One of the Best songs
While we're at it, have Manny chew on some P-Funk and let's see what happens. :)

This song is 80's, excelente at the disco era, the best
I loved this song.... then years later, while at a spiritual event, we got a printout of the lyrics. I LOVE this song.
Dude! I just looked at it for that! I heard the “life in review” part of the song. I was like WHOA!
I bought this album back in the day and played it a lot. [ Ed went nostalgic and totally zoned out. ]
So amazing!
This song is actually insane, I don't understand how

To get the full effect of this song, it is best to either listen to the longer 5-minute version or the longest 7-minute version.
The 7 minutes version was made by an amateur "DJ", and is NOT RELEVANT. The 4 minute 37 second (not a minute longer) is the version.
EWF is easily in the top ten bands, EVER, if not top 5. Saying the words 'Chili Peppers' is an insult. Compared to contemporaries like Fishbone or later, Rage Against the Machine - CP is a top 40 band. But EWF is on an astral plane of their own, period.
Don't forget The Cammadors
Go Phillip Bailey!!!!!!
Lol - there were 9 - 12 members of the band. Yes, Phil sang (AND PLAYED CONGAS) on it. But, that's it. He didn't write or arrange it either. Say, "GO MAURICE WHITE". After your research, you'll understand why I say that.
The male on the left: I guess your parents never taught you to carry tissues so you can wipe your nose. Now thanks to covid, we dont have to shake hands like yours. Damn!
I like this one but it's only 3 for me. You guys have too much fun! Keep up the good .. work?
Cool and The Gang - cherish the love. It was very popular.
KC and the Sunshine Band - please don't go . My fav of theirs.
Climax Blues Band - I Want You
Haha, thanks! And yes, it's work; but the enjoyable kind.

Tower of Power pleeeeaaassseee
BOYS BOYS BOYS...this is NOT funk nor soul...this is r and b / disco
Beatles and Elvis don’t remember which came first lol..
The Chili Peppers are funk? Or are confusing it with punk?
Free from Ohio players
Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes were not funk, the were soul/rnb. James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic, Brothers Johnson, Ohio Players, GAP band is funk.
Harry Melvin and the Blue Notes were NOT funk. They were doo wop first and soul/R&B later on.
Im calling BS on term "FIRST LISTEN"
Who the hell doesnt know the song september or at least heard snipets of it....but knows the more obscure song fantasy? I find that to be completel utter BS
Cover don't sound like this. I will say a heard a very good cover understand, they wrote, produce and vocals can't be duplicated. if you can't write it, produce it, it don't count. Fantancy 8 plus. Listen more to the production. EWF anin't never and will never be a 5. You don't have a clue.
The red hot chili peppers do not play funk music. Harold melvin & the blue notes is strictly r&b. Funk is like the fatback band, bootsy collins, parliament & funkadelic too many name. EWF started off the doing jazz music then crossover doing r&b funk pop even fusing rock universal band SMH.
The disco kind of funk never did much for me, in general. September is a banger. This one, not so much.
Update: This is not disco. Sorry, if that offended you.
Brax1982: Thank you for noting this is not disco. I looked all down the comments to see if anyone would know the truth that EW&F is not disco. I grew up during the 70's and I used to listen to disco all night because at that time that was pretty much all that was on the radio after 10 p.m. Disco was a very monotonous type music and EW&F was anything but that.
You are absolutely right, NOT DISCO
HArold Melvin wasn't funk.
Not funk...soul or R&B.... definitely not funk.
Wtf idles this know Earth Wind and Fire . You lost me.
Tower of Power is the best funk soul band
