God, I so love this jam! I am a 76 year old white dude...in 1979 I turned 34 and was totally into EWF, Tavares, Ohio Players, Barry White...and tons of other similar bands. I know it's physically impossible to go back to the past ( so, far ); the closest things to a time machine are recorded music and photography ( still and moving ). Each day I travel back to the best era in sound that ever existed, and I don't even have to leave my computer!
Why do people mention their so-called color when posting about music? What’s wrong with these people? Don’t they know that music isn’t color-prejudice!
@@palootto4021The music stations on the fm radio where listing some music as for back people or for white people back then so you had a radio station that played disco , R and B for black people and an other radio station that played rock music for white people .No lie, but still there were white people that listened to the music radio station for black audiences and black people listened to the rock and roll radio stations graded for white people but that changed that all changed on the radio waves about 1979 and or early 1980s and then the radio stations started to play a mixed list of music of R and B and Rock on one station called ( Magic 101.5) in Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA;that was the frequency on the radio dial. I hope I explained it correctly and I hope you explore the wonderful world of radio history .
@@thomasmichnya1751 Thank you for your wonderful explanation, but I’m quite familiar with all that you’ve said. You’re correct but I still wondered about the color-coded music.
Breaking up with your first true love.. oh my gosh, the complete despair. 40 years later and this song still makes me feel like I have no air in my lungs.
I was blessed to have grown up to this Beautiful Music, I was 18 In 1979 when this came out..EW&F was/still is one of my fav. groups. No matter how long ago it was produced..It is still New...Every time I hear these magical songs, for a Magical Time
This is the epitome of the sound of my generation. Music was alive, creative, true musicians, playing real instruments, reading and writing glorious music..........and the voices............wow
I was 16 white boy but I know my music kids I’m 63 now I know my music! It can bring us together kids think about it! I didn’t think black white music! I just loved GREAT MUSIC!! Stop the race baiting y’all I was a teen when this came out I didn’t think about black or white! I thought about awesome my music!! DO THE SAME KIDS
this is why i sometimes envy old days.. the type of music and performers it produced.. the soul, the melody, the lyrics and the interpretation.. a total package.. :( RIP Maurice..
Why after the love is gone that's always say because we're never going to have that same person to have the Same Love so we're going to looking for another one to give you love that's been they love never die because they love come from God God bless you all thank you
I love everything EWF recorded. This is probably my favorite. When Maurice White strutted and swayed to this song you could literally see his body absorbing the rhythm and every beat. I call EWF’s music magical. I’m 78 years old and this is the only music that I can’t resist grooving to. Lol
this song calmed me down when i was clinically diagnosed with major depressive disorder. I hope i was born by the time these kinds of songs were just starting
Ahhh, grasshopper, you missed the two best decades for music with premier talent, the 1960's & 1970's. Earth, Wind and Fire's blockbuster album was released in 1975, "That's the Way of the World". The 80's were good and 90's were ok, but each decade saw the talent level dip, now it's just an edgy name & look and bingo, you've got a contract, real talent is way down the list of requirements for a band or group. It's all about the money.
She is gone. 5 years now. We were separated by weird and strange circumstances. She lives close by ,I know that I will never see her again nor will I ever love another woman. Never. I can hold it in until I hear that hauntingly beautiful sax solo. The tears flow .Every time.
I agree with you Mercilyn. I was a little one when this song was released, but even then, it reached in, grabbed my soul and shook it. They will go down in music history as one of the BEST. I played this for my nephew (who loves hard-core heavy metal). His response-"Da*n that's a good song".
Happy Birthday, Jack. You would have been 60 today. You held my heart for a time, and broke it. I will never forget you, have long forgiven you and now only the best of you will forever be a part of my heart. RIP.....
How can you not love this song and group i was born in 68 and i grew up with these guys and its 2021 and i still listen to this band today its dec 23 2021 and i had to listen these guys were great and still are.
Just learnt that David Foster is one of the writers of this great love song. I've loved this song from the time I knew what good music was - as a little girl.
Music I grew up on. EWF = 🐐 This song brings tears to my eyes caus ethic shit is so real and touches the soul because sometime in our lives, we went thru this. My goodness, thank Yah got Earth, Wind and Fire.
I'm an aspiring song writer and studying Earth, Wind and Fire's music has helped me tremendously. The rhythms, key changes, modulations. Incredible stuff if you want to learn how to compose interesting, cohesive songs.
I love Earth Wind and Fire but I have hard time listening to their music since I lost my Brother. My Brother and his best friend use to sing their songs along with many other groups like the Stylistics. They could hit those notes, they sounded just like them. When one of their songs comes on (as well as those other groups songs) I just start crying. Depending on a memory related to certain songs they can be happy or sad tears but nonetheless I'm still crying and trying to sing along...
EARTH WIND AND FIRE !!!! WITH LYRICS ...PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LYRIC...IT'S MORE THAN REALITY..PERHAPS SOME OF US HAS GONE THROUGH THIS...WHAT THE SONG IS DESCRIBING. AFTER THE LOVE HAS GONE...LOTS OF UNHEALED WOUNDS THAT CAN NOT EASILY BE CURED!!! LOTS OF MEMORIES, THOUGHTS, FEELINGS AND LOTS OF PAIN..SOMETIMES THE TIME COULD CURE IT, IF NOT YOU'LL SUFFER FOR A WHILE!!! BUT WITH OUT THIS EXPERIENCES..WE COULDN'T SAY WE HAVE A LIFE!!! BEAUTIFUL SONG
After the love is gone, 22 years of it. We try to go on, but have our "good" memories living separately but still remember. And wish we could find it again, with each other or with someone else. Too sad. How do we go on? Act like it never happened?
I know exactly what you are feeling.. There myself! You can’t act like it never happened.. You have to embrace and remember all of the good times and memories.. And try to forget the bad times..
This song has been in my head all week but I just didn't know the correct lyrics. I finally caved and looked around. You gifted me with this video. Thank you so very much.
2nd grade when this record came out. So many moons ago, the simpler times. This record takes me back. If I get dementia, I hope someone plays this record, I will remember every thing from this time period. Music is the cure. 👍
I was lucky this year to see them in Connecticut a month ago. Even though some of the originals are gone. It was still amazing. I did get to see them with all the group it was mind blowing. Have loved their music since I first heard it. So many favorite songs to name. So many “Reasons why” Lol. But “Let’s Groove Tonight” ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Who listen this wonderful song in 2024 ?
Me❤
I'm here 😀
I'm here
Here from philippines
❤❤🎧🎧🎧🎧👏👏👏 Sempre, Earth, Wind ,& Fire
Still playing in 2024. Classics never die! ❤
This is a CLASSY song from one of the finest bands ever to grace the stage. Fresh as the day it was written, as all good songs are.

Why do you mention your so-called color? Music is for everyone and is not color-prejudice.

How in the world can a breakup song be one of the most beautiful ballads ever???
I know this is such a beautiful song really...
because sadness is everywhere
Because it’s Earth Wind and Fire….most amazing group, ever
Breakup songs are my fave…that’s where the emotion is!
Because it reminds us that love is not something to take for granted.❤
Breaking up with your first true love.. oh my gosh, the complete despair. 40 years later and this song still makes me feel like I have no air in my lungs.
50 yrs. married and love changes and you do too.

I am 18 and still rocks gently on #70sNeverDie
This was the time of real music in my opinion. This never gets old. Love it.
2024 in a raining cold day with my coffee and listening this beautiful song.❤
Still get goose bumps every time. Maurice will be sorely missed by anyone who knew what good music is
I am excited to be with you and your family
This is one of my favorites.
I’m seven years late to this comment, but, It still is absolutely true!
This music will last forever. My aunt, myself, my daughter, and my grown grandson ALL love EWF.!!
What a chord progression. Genius and cozy.
Felix, David Foster 😎
Yes..so difficult to play and sing this wonderful song
Wonderful beautiful arrangement - it has always bowled me over! The voices also!!
Exactly. As somebody noted below, it's David Foster. Brilliant orchestration
David Foster and Maurice White are Master song writers, producers and Great musicans!!! Rest in Peace Maurice White! Thank you for the music!!
This music has been part of me ever since I was in high school in the early 70’s . I will play them over and over til my end.

True that.....
Aww,the bittersweet aftertaste and despair of a love ending.
song serenade yep can’t find better words
2024 and I’m still listening to this ! 🎶🔥
Earth Wind & Fire still rocks in 2020 in all this covid 19. AFTER THE LOVE IS GONE is as new as it ever was!
Classy sounding music, telling a story about love. "After the Love was gone."
Nothing can beat the music of the 80s and 90s...priceless!!

Hey with the program. This was 70's music. One of my favorite groups. I simply loved all their music.
this song really sends shivers down my spine! My most favorite song of Earth, Wind and Fire.
Thank you guys!
His music lives on. When you hear one of his songs you know Maurice is still alive in spirit.
So true and well said.😎
She is gone. 5 years now. We were separated by weird and strange circumstances. She lives close by ,I know that I will never see her again nor will I ever love another woman. Never. I can hold it in until I hear that hauntingly beautiful sax solo. The tears flow .Every time.

Damn I really miss Maurice! The best vocalist since some of the Motown guys. Pair that with Phillips harmony & no other words needed!
This is indeed music to my ears , i love listening over and over again
Happy Birthday, Jack. You would have been 60 today. You held my heart for a time, and broke it. I will never forget you, have long forgiven you and now only the best of you will forever be a part of my heart. RIP.....
Beautiful. How old were y'all when yall were together if you don't mind me asking?
I was 22 and he was 23.
sad...
God bless you. Love is eternal.
A song so good in the ears, yet so painful to hear.
specially when you can relate to it... :'(
Written by Bill Champlin from the band Chicago...and Maurice kills it! A masterpiece.

go after her

So true. After the Love is gone and lost, it might never be found or it’ll never be the same even when found.
Beautiful song, as with all of their songs.
