It also has an outstanding cover of Got to Get You into My Life that won them 3 grammy awards.Earth, Wind and Fire were band that made you experience every type of emotion & had deep and powerful lyrics that really made the listener think. Their songs were well crafted sermons that reached down into your soul and sadly that's so lacking in the majority of today's music. I've always loved this album ever since it's initial release in 1978, however, i've always felt they should have added more songs, especially from their early 70's period when the group was 1st formed. That's why it's hard for some to deal with their music cause you couldn't always just throw it on & listen to the groove (which were incredible on their own). This is a great buy and a true witness to the marvel that was & is Earth, Wind and Fire. That being said, it has wonderful material that just puts a smile on my face each time i hear it.A lot of the classics are here: Fantasy, Can't Hide Love, Shining Star, That's The Way of The World & Reasons. It also has, what was then, 2 incredible new songs, Love Music (check out the incredible harmonies on this one) & the hit September.
:) Yeah. I don't purchase many CDs so I wanted the best of EW&F. That's what you get on this disk.
I grew tired of the CD very quickly. I haven't enjoyed this as much as I did when I was younger. This band is still very talented, but perhaps not as ageless as I had hoped.
THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT HITS HERE ON THIS CD, YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF SINGING ALONG WITH A LOT OF THESE SONGS. IF YOU GREW UP AND CAME OF AGE IN THE 1970'S LIKE I DID, A LOT OF THESE SONGS ARE JUST A PART OF THE SOUNDTRACK OF YOUR LIFE UP UNTIL NOW. I LOVED EWF THEN AND I STILL LOVE THEM NOW, THEY CROSSED A LOT OF BOUNDARIES, HAD SOME SMASH HITS, AND WHEN I SAW THEM OPEN UP FOR SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, THEY BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN.
I think this cd will bring back fond memories of a slower less hectic decade. Nice smooth sound for a great group of the 70's. Great cd to have if you are looking for this groups greatest hits.
