    Philip Bailey’s falsetto has never been matched. EWF’s talent is/was remarkable. Their live performances were so powerful. Truly the good old days.

      Yes Lori! That was a magnificent Era to witness the Birth of classic soul musical groups! ....Phillip Bailey was one of the many polished falsetto singers during that era! Don't forget the other falsetto singers in the groups of the 70's & 80's!
      *Chi-Lites, Temptations, Blue Magic, Dramatics, Stylistics, Bloodstone, Ray , Goodman & Brown, Cameo, Con Funk Shun, Heat Wave , Switch, The Force MD's , Lakeside & Imagination*...they had some very polished falsetto singers of their own😊

      Oh,yes jis false was perfectly matched in the person of Harvey Williams Sr. The group he played with resided in Chedter, PA. They often performed in Pholadelphia, PA, Sharon Hill, PA, Glenolden, PA, in towns in Delaeare, New Jersey, and for conventions of Homor Degrees of Military Orders. In this group, he sung 2dt tenor lead while playing rhythm bass. He was an astronomical proform

    I am Japanese. When I was in elementary school, this album was on my parents' CD list, so I secretly borrowed it and listened to it often on my music video. This is my favorite song because it has a very clear singing voice and lyrics that make me feel emotional. Since this song, I have always included Earth, Wind and Fire's songs in the audio of my Walkman, smartphone, and car navigation system.

    The most beautiful ballad of all times... This Iconic album had one hit after another... surreal... Wow... The Soloist (Philip) The background choir, The arrangements, Al Mc Kay, Mo White, Verdine , Freddie, Ralph Johnson , Larry Dunn, Johnny Graham, Sheldon, Bautista (satterfield, Myrick, Woodfolk) The Horns -- I ran out of word to describe this song and this musical formation for that matter...
