Check out the funk swing of "Got to Get You Into My Life." Featured in the disastrous "Sgt. Pepper's" movie, this song is one of the few bright spots from the film. "Fantasy" is classic Phil Bailey, while "That's The Way of the World" and "Shining Star" are the cornerstones of the EWF legacy. "September" and "Singasong" find EWF at their upbeat best. "Can't Hide Love" is a highly underrated EWF gem.

The only real clunker here is the grating "Love Music." EWF is often wrongfully bashed for sounding "too pop" at times; however, the criticism is justified in this instance.

Whether new to the Fire, or a longtime fan, this is a must for your collection.

Soul grabbing making you want to jam in the strong harmony
Passionate rythim they use. Brings joy and happimess when hearing. Music that still sounds the best, 'til this day.

Awesome!
This is my all-time favorite album! Need I say more

good CD
this is a good CD to listen to but the songs are a little long and you can get bored with them after a while
Like a lot of second-wave funk bands, Earth, Wind & Fire were adept at balancing slickness and rawness. While their albums were occasionally spotty, the outfit achieved truly miraculous moments like the rocking "Shining Star" and the gloriously syncopated "September." (Come to think of it, the screaming guitar of the former was also nicely set off by its rhythmic flow.) In a have-you-never-been-mellow decade, their positivity seemed mostly realistic. With something like their powerhouse transformation of "Got to Get You into My Life"--pulling one of the great Beatles covers out of the awful Sgt. Pepper movie--they could make even the most churlish listener believe anything truly was possible. --Rickey Wright
