    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.

    Pure and brilliant without auto-tune. This song came out in 1977. Philip Bailey nailed this from beginning till the fade out. My opinion he did not deserved enough credits for his sensational vocals. Talking about falsetto. Shhhhh...

      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😊
