There was nothing Earth, Wind & Fire and its visionary founder, Maurice White couldn't conquer in their prime. After all, the mammoth band worked tirelessly in the 1970s, chiseling their universal message and all-encompassing sound to mass appeal, while scoring hit singles and million-selling albums.
Earth, Wind & Fire had persevered through several stages of R&B evolution: from jazz to sweet soul, from sweet soul to funk, from funk to disco. And with 1981βs Raise! they once again made an effortless adaption from disco to the snappy boogie of modern R&B. Itβs amazing that after 15 years EW&F could still compete with up-and-coming Releases. Explore music from Earth, Wind & Fire. Shop for vinyl, CDs, and more from Earth, Wind & Fire on Discogs.
