Earth, Wind and Fire, the greatest band ever assembled. You haven't even scratch the surface of their hits. They have a catalog that every HBCU band plays.
I'm jealous. Being able to listen to EWF songs for the first time. That's truly one of life's pleasures! But then again they have been the soundtrack of at least 52 years of my life and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
This joint here was (and still is) the J.A.M, and played religiously on the radio, house parties, in school and picnics. If you know what I'm talking about, this was one of those nuggets they would throw in on an album, and it quickly became a street anthem classic in NYC!!
This whole LP is da bomb. Mostly comprised by down tempo songs... but it's a very spiritual compilation. Highlights "Getaway" "On Your Face" "Imagination" "Spirit"
Mommas always know best!! She recommended an awesome classic!!! EWF is one of my favorite groups! Thank you both for bringing a much needed smile to my face!!
Maurice and crew were on roll during this timeframe. The “Spirit” album was sandwiched in between “Gratitude”(my favorite) and “All n All” . An incredible run especially when you consider they did it in an era dominated by the Disco phenomenon…
I want to add on to what you said about not listening to this music on your own, mainly because you did not know about it, but thank goodness for your mom and your viewers. I'm saying this because this music is TIMELESS AND AGELESS!! This music came out in the 70s when I was a teen and now at 64, I still listen to this music like I never heard it before!! I am fortunate to be able to listen to my local radio station (Washington DC) every day and hear the same DJ that was on the radio from the late 70s playing this music - a true Blessing!! In fact, in DC we have quite a few radio stations that play Old School music every Saturday morning especially and I start my Saturday jamming!!🤗🤗💃💃
Hey Ashley, you might be old enough to know this song -> There is a song (rap song) called Party Ain't A Party by Queen Pen, released 1997 (You should check it out!). Anyway they sample this song! So I got to jam to it TWICE, as a little girl and as a young lady getting ready to go to the club with my girls!
Your mom must be somewhere near my age group because this song was made during my primetime years. You can never go wrong with EWF! They were all about elevating the mind, body, and spirit, and I'm STILL waiting for the group who can rival them, and they already got a 50 year leap.😮
Classic stuff and yeah, your ma definitely knows what's up If you like that, there were some really awesome cuts from a 1980 Cameo album called feel me, which was the last album before they downsize from like 10 people to three people. But some of these songs got played like crazy at predominantly black house parties when I was in high school: Keep It Hot, Your Love (Takes Me Out), and, Roller Skates. I know you would love it.
EWF is the greatest band God ever made. You could program a station with the multiple platinum albums and the DOZENS of hits they had from 1970-2013. Their hits are like a bag of Lay's. You can't eat just one! I could recommend SOO many.
Whenever I watch these reactions to music, I can't help but ask myself: "Is the song they're reviewing really just a backdrop to the reviewer's performance art piece?"
I would bet money I'm older than your momma but thank her for me for introducing you to the greatest band of all time. If you get the chance check out In the Stone, then go listen to Leonid and Friend's cover version. I think you'll be blown away, and let you mom hear that cover too.
WOW, I'M BIG FAN OMG, LOV THEZE BROTHAS, FANTASTIC BAND, MO N PHIL, WAT A SOUND LIK NO OTHER, PEACE B UPON MY BROTHA MO, N ALL THE MEMBERS THAT MADE THERE TRANSITION BACK 2 ALLAH, WE MIS U AMEEN
I swear, I’m not trying to be mean but these were not ewf best songs. Ashley, I’ll send you all ewf songs that rocked clubs or lounges. Actually this was one of the ones I skipped to get to the better songs

I see you are a connoisseur of great talent. 😉
Facts.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
100 percent. NO ONE is even close to EWF.
There was never a truer statement!
"while you run your race, keep a smiling face, help you set your pace" That is the lyric that slapped me in the face!
I just sent this song with the words to a good friend of mine. I hope it puts some sunshine in her life .
I'm jealous. Being able to listen to EWF songs for the first time. That's truly one of life's pleasures! But then again they have been the soundtrack of at least 52 years of my life and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Cheers to your Mom! My favorite EWF tune of all time. My life's philosophy!
Best band EVER! Love your reaction!!!
Your beautiful Mom knows what's up. My Favorite group all time, EWF.
The GOAT’S
Great Album.
Great Band.
"While you run your race, keep a smiling face, help you set your pace."
Greatest band ever hands down
This song automatically makes you feel good and when you add Ashley’s reaction you find yourself smiling throughout the entire song. Go Ashley’s Mom!!

The spirit of the Lord was over their music
This song is so uplifting and positive. Respect.

maurice had such unique vocals, phillip bailey, larry dunn, andrew woolfolk, east high school, denver, co.

One of my favorite, yo mama got good taste.
Then you have the Nerve to bring the heat with Earth Wind & Fire's "On Your Face"....Here!....just go on and take the prize! 🏆
Ashley, ain't it funny that the way your dancing in your seat and grooving to my favorite band of all time shows on your face??!!!😀

Ashley, you want a bottle of water? Cause your on FIRE GURL!!! Keep the classic coming
The Way They Answered Each Other Blows Everyone's Mind, Simply The Greatest Of All Times 🙏💞😁😇
Maurice and crew were on roll during this timeframe. The “Spirit” album was sandwiched in between “Gratitude”(my favorite) and
“All n All” . An incredible run especially when you consider they did it in an era dominated by the Disco phenomenon…
The beat was also sample in a lot of songs
Such A Beautiful And Uplifting Song Heartwarming From The Greatest Band Ever 🙏😁💞💯
The Vocal ad-lib instrumentation, the instrumentation, the in and out breaks, the lyrics, THE MESSAGE!! EARTH, WIND & FIRE!!!

Wish upon a sunny day, it'll turn to rain, use the sunshine in your heart to ease the pain..
Earth Wind and Fire has another song called "In the Stone" that is not only played by HBCU, but also I heard it played by the USC band to.
My favorite group, you have got an enormous catalog to go through. They probably have about 30 top ten hits, buckle your seat belt!
🧡 Whoa! I forgot about this soooooong!! Yeeez! Queen Pen sampled this for "Party ain't a party" and Coko (SWV) "I get Joy". Tfs!

Wait till you hear In the Stone also by them!
YES!!!! One of my top 5 songs from them!! ✊🏿✊🏿👍🏿👍🏿
As a teenager I played that Spirit album to death. Still have a cassette tape I play. They are the baddest band in the land. Glad you enjoyed it.
EWF ... Hell,they freaked the world with their GENIUS ... WORD !
You have EVERYTHING GOING ON!!!!.....I'm nuts about your reactions.....
One of my favorites from EWF. " Reasons live" will knock your socks off!
Land of Love
Skip Mahoney and
So happy to see my own daughters grooving to EWF like their dad the way their grandmother taught him!

You gotta listen to "Love Holiday" U wont be disappointed💯
Off topic, your hair is 🔥 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
This music and the message got our people through some very difficult societal issues. Earth Wind& Fire were like a life line.
I love that your Mom requested this. This is my musical anti-depressant.😀💜
EWF is the greatest band God ever made. You could program a station with the multiple platinum albums and the DOZENS of hits they had from 1970-2013. Their hits are like a bag of Lay's. You can't eat just one! I could recommend SOO many.
They definitely got that marching band vive
Most of the HBCU bands play EWF.
Ashley, please play Spirit from this album. You would love it 😀
Whenever I watch these reactions to music, I can't help but ask myself:
"Is the song they're reviewing really just a backdrop to the reviewer's performance art piece?"
Those were the best days
Yesss elements again 🌍 💨 🔥
You should listen to this whole album.
More EW&F please !
EWF was one of a kind.
My daughter is a Cookman alum, who was a Marching Wildcat.
I would bet money I'm older than your momma but thank her for me for introducing you to the greatest band of all time. If you get the chance check out In the Stone, then go listen to Leonid and Friend's cover version. I think you'll be blown away, and let you mom hear that cover too.
Queen Pen's "Party Ain't A Party" Check it!! #originalsamples
I was gonna suggest this 🤣 Mama got taste 😁
Check out the title cut 'Spirit' and 'Burning Bush' as well.
Yeah your moms definitely knows her stuff! EWF has so many great songs it's ridiculous. This has always been one of my favorites though.
