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.
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
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...
This is the kind of music we old school people listened to. One of the reasons that these young whippersnappers are here today. People knew how to love and respect each other. Great Job EW&F!!!. BE FOREVER WONDERFUL!!!!?
My Mommy died from breast cancer 2 days after Christmas when this album came out in '77 , this album was played during the time of grievances and everytime i hear this song i feel she's telling me it's gonna be ok. R.I.P. Mommy until we meet again. I love you 😘 ❤💛💚💙💜
LEELEE MARTINEZ,you painted an amazing image in my thoughts with your statement. The hope of a reunion with a loved one can keep us going all the time.
LEELEE MARTINEZ, I certainly hope your health is not under attack at this time. Well, I'd like to know that it never will be, either. Still, illness can make us think of the ones who have left us.
My eldest brother Walter Ray would sing da hell out this song. He would hit all the high notes just like Phillip Bailey. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 50. I love you Walter Ray. With all my HEART🧡🤎💛❤🖤💜🤍💚
There was this guy named Jeffrey Chisholm rest in peace in Compton California and I would always sing the song on the microphone and one day he just took it out of my hand and he sang this song better than Philip Bailey but I've been loving this song since I was 12 years old this is the first group I ever seen in concert when I was 15 years old and freshly at Hyde Park Hyde Park career academy in Chicago oh my God Earth wind & fire and The Isley Brothers are the best two groups head to head but life or death Earth wind & fire
In his Starlicks Video guitarist Al McKay says he wrote this song together with Singer Philip Baley. 🤓 Just in case you'd want to know that. Nevertheless, Maurice White is of course a gifted writer, singer and producer. 😊
@@SebastianBluschke you're correct, Al McKay wrote the music to this song, love the guitar intro, McKay had a lot to do with EWF success in the 70s with his co-songwriting ability, my wife lived in Tokyo for 3 years and saw Al McKay's band performed, they basically played EWF songs including this one
I bet he was cool as hell. Those days were awesome. No hate. Everybody got along. Black hippies. Blue eyed soul brothers. The music was everything back then. You were blessed to know him.
Beautiful song, listening with my eyes closed. This is the music I grew up listening to. So disappointed that this generation can't appreciate this kind of music enough to continue it.
Deep, down in your soul, this song leaves you with a joyful warm feeling and poetry. The effervescent magic eloquently delivered from EW&F. All of us are blessed!
The guitar intro; then the Chorus and then came Phil 'a vocal flawless and the orchestral arrangements and the Larry , Verdine, Fred, the horn section the lyrics Boom 💥 all break loose Timeless I have been loving this song since high school and still fresh timeless..
I too was thinking the same thing today. Their bio pic showed how they were singing in the skating rink, when their producer who just had to sign them, did. Their history shows them being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.. I'm stuck on Earth, Wind, and Fire! Must read Maurice Whites book....
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...
From day one I heard this song this was the most beautiful song I've ever heard and still to this day there will never ever be a band like E W & F ever
Oh I agree --- I loved it when I heard it at age 15 --then years went by and I didn't hear it again until the 90s and again, I was floored -- OMG -- reminds me of when I lived with my Grandma
One of my brothers favorite songs of all times. He died of AIDS related illness in1989 and this is the first year that I’m able to listen to this song and appreciate it without crying.
Maurice White took the group to Brazil for a little R&R and to prep them for recording sessions for this album, they came back fresh and ready to roll worked hard and put out their best album ever, the trip to Brazil heavily influence the group's sound, Brazilian Rhyme (Beijo) a popular song in Brazil was sampled on the album, I'll Write a Song for You with its beautiful guitar intro from Al McKay and Phillips falsetto voice made the song special
This song reminds me of beautiful times with my ex husband in 1977. We were young and in love. I miss "us" and how it was. He was the love of my life. No one else for me,EVER!
I wrote this text in a loveletter to my futuring husband Frank...On our weddingday another song was singing by dear friends: Fantasy, in text about our lifes and love...touching and funny together. Frank died after being 7 months the greatest father of our son..31 years he was...😔 Sweet and tearfull memories. Thank you, E.W&F...wished I could be at one of your concerts and would be able to hugg you for that in Holland...🤗
When I first heard this song in 1978 I played it over and over. One day I heard it playing downstairs in the living room and discovered that my mom fell in love with it too.
Saw them in concert 1974 back stage I got Phillip Bailey's autograph, I was screaming so loud he put his hands over his ears I asked him if I could have a kiss on the cheek, he said that would make his wife mad😁😁😁😁💯
I read somewhere that Phillip Bailey wrote this song when his daughter was born. It is absolutely Beautiful, and sang beautifully by Phillip Bailey. And, Al Mckay is awesome as always on the guitar. One of my favorite EWF songs.
Greatest band of all times I don't know The Reasons I do know they taught me you can't hide love! Now I wonder what can I do after the love is gone? I wish I could write a song! Feeled with DEVOTION and imagination! I will forever treasure the music you guys blessed us with! Hindu!
One of the prettiest ballads I've heard from this group. God bless Phillip's voice and Maurice's lyrics. It's a personal shame that I couldn't check them out before Maurice's transition, this group's discography is my soundtrack. May the elements of groove long reign upon this world.
Philip Bailey could sing “Old McDonald Had a Farm” and give you goosebumps. This majestic composition showcases that stirring falsetto of his at its finest.
Wow again. Another slow dancing to someone special track (I am in tears with writing this as that has gone now!). A really fab album which I bought many decades ago and playing it again tonight. along with the other tracks. I played drums along to this whole LP and will do that again over the weekend as it has such fond memories. Jim L from the UK (67 now).

This song was sent to me today by a close friend who was in the band that played for this play I was in as teenagers. I always loved this song. It’s a love song and many more genres all in one. I have not heard this since the 70’s. It brought back sooooo many remorse’s. Just when I was feeling a little funky. I needed to hear this today. Now I feel great. And I remembered true love and innocents and being worry free. This was truly a blessing to me when it came out as well as today!!!
Typo correction: It brought back many memories. That same and also winded up being in the same band later called “Deep Involvement.” Those were the good ole’ days. Give Love.
Every EWF song has such a story in them that every one born in the 60s and the70s can relate to and love .. I am so glad to be born at this time of such beautiful soul music.
@@ericthomas151 I saw them 3 times where I live in Rhode Island, 1st time in 1978 , in 79 and again in 81. All sold out shows. Parliament Funkadelic was another cool concert to go too. George Clinton and his band still jam and saw them in 2019.
Come, I write a song for you, You write a song for me We write a song of Love You and I ~~~~~~~~ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. ~ Rev 22:17
Love love love this amazing top pf the line group..! Best times..with this music. They don't make them like this these days at all..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ AMAZING MUSIC.. EITH THOSE SAXAPHONES..TRUMPETS AND THOSE HIGH PITICHED VOICES..THE MOVES WITH THEIR GROOVY ELEGANCE..WOOOOWWWWWW!! ETC..CANT DESCRIVE THE FEELING..JUST GETS YOU INSIDE UR BONES..
This song touches on every chord of spirituality across the spectrum. It is beautiful, emotional, uplifting and heavy all at the same time. A timeless masterpiece that takes me to so many beautiful places and times in my life. It reminds me of childhood, adulthood, family, friends and so many great experiences. This song is a beautiful light of its own. It’s a classic I have enjoyed since the 1970’s. 🙏☮️💕🙏
I've always said All n' All is by far their best album, such greats songs from the Serpentine Fire to Be Ever Wonderful, my parents first had it on 8-track, I bought the album, then cassette and then the CD
As a 7/8 yr old couldn’t sleep before playing this song on the record every night my sister must have gone bonkers every night!!!! Still love it 40 some years later...
There will never be another singing group like EWF. I,m still jamming to this group in 2023. This is a timeless masterpiece.
ME TOO 😊 FORREAL FORREAL
I feel you on that! ❤
I'm blessed to have just about all of there music from albums to cds just love taking them out and playing good love songs from them

THANK YOU💋👊🏽💯🔥

Whenever I listen to this song, I find it very hard to stop. It takes me to another level of peace and calm.
half Japanese n english, i heard this when i was a kid too. it's beautiful
The talent that came out of the 70s and 80s has never been matched. I'm glad I grew up in those phenomenal decades.
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.
He was never challenged. Insecurities play a part in a melinated man's life. This environment is straight up manipulation!
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😊
@@renegadedragon9393 Those were the days!!!!!
His are very great but let's not forget about the late bobby debarge. I wish they would have done a song together.
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
There are very few songs that only deserve to be played Extremely LOUD!!
AMEN to that!! Whenever I play it, it's on BLAST!!!
Perfect..every aspect
Loop it!❤❤❤
Loop it❤❤❤❤
Doing it now!☺️
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...
He didn't deserve enough credit. Go back to school idiot.
This is the kind of music we old school people listened to. One of the reasons that these young whippersnappers are here today. People knew how to love and respect each other. Great Job EW&F!!!. BE FOREVER WONDERFUL!!!!?
Well said. ❤❤❤
Yes let's be Wonderful together!!
70s girl still in love my husband of 45YRS dedicated this to us ❤I loop it everyday ❤❤ 11-23-24 blessed Saturday evening

LEELEE MARTINEZ, I certainly hope your health is not under attack at this time. Well, I'd like to know that it never will be, either. Still, illness can make us think of the ones who have left us.
No group can touch and awaken my heart and soul like Earth, Wind, and Fire. I grew up on this music. Love, love their music so outta this world!

This is one of the most beautifully written, composed and performed songs of all time!

I'm si sorry for your loss. Close your eyes.. I know you can hear him . God bless you.
by EWF standards this is virtually a cappella, a masterpiece of crisp, restrained vocal soul.
One of my favorite EWF songs, featuring Philip Bailey and his four-octave range. Amazing voice. RIP to founding member Maurice White.

Maurice White, such a gifted writer, singer and producer. He will truly be missed.

Most definitely will.
I agree with you
So truthful
Phillip Bailey voice is phenomenal !!!
Yes it is!!
You know it
These vocals... out of this world.
RIP Maurice White... A true masterclass in song craft and musicality from the legendary Earth Wind & Fire.

He was so ahead of his time. Fell in love with EW&F 45 years ago.
True, but this is not a Maurice White song! One of only a few in their catalogue. Al Mckay and Steve Beckmeier wrote the music.
REMINDS OF MY GRANDADDY..IN NYC..BACK IN DAY..VISITING ME AS A TEENAGER..RIP..A REMARKABLE BLACK MAN..
So very sorry for your loss! We'll write a song of Love! We have a magic box.

Just added it to my wedding song list!
Bom gosto mau brother 👏

When I was in middle school, this was my favorite EWF song. I played this over and over again. This song never gets old.
Mine too. I want to play this song at my wedding
You better believe my friend I'm a 63 year old man old school fully grown and the music we listened to like this sustained us then and will always ❤❤❤
💯
Beautiful song, listening with my eyes closed. This is the music I grew up listening to. So disappointed that this generation can't appreciate this kind of music enough to continue it.
Many groups tried to duplicate this sounds, they never could. To be in this group, a person had to master their craft and sounds
One of the greatest songs ever written...and performed by the perfect band.
Classic...Words can't describe the Beautiful Melody, Music arrangement and Lyrics to this Beautiful Song. Can't Be duplicated♥️♥️♥️
Deep, down in your soul, this song leaves you with a joyful warm feeling and poetry. The effervescent magic eloquently delivered from EW&F. All of us are blessed!
I remember singing to this when I was a kid...in the 1970s.EWF have the most beautiful music.I am so glad I was able to see them live in concert.
That's When Music Was Music 🎶🎶🎶🎶😅😅😅😅
@@annettecarey1220 True !😄
This is when music was music.We all have one or have been through
If I had to choose one Band that I could only listen to the choice would be easy EARTH WIND & FIRE..... The GREATEST BAND EVER !!!
This song gives you every facet of true music vocally and instrumentally !!!!!!!! RIP Maurice!
The guitar intro; then the Chorus and then came Phil 'a vocal flawless and the orchestral arrangements and the Larry , Verdine, Fred, the horn section the lyrics Boom 💥 all break loose Timeless I have been loving this song since high school and still fresh timeless..
I too was thinking the same thing today.
Their bio pic showed how they were singing in the skating rink, when their producer who just had to sign them, did.
Their history shows them being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame..
I'm stuck on Earth, Wind, and Fire!
Must read Maurice Whites book....
You have said it all. I have the same feeling here. Love this song more than anything. Let's keep enjoying...😍😍😍
You HEAR music the same way I do. I can tell. By the way you wrote that. Hey Twin. 💥 that right there.
Wow! Listen to that voice, beautiful, smooth, he didn't sing that song! he sang that song! beautiful !!
I love how the song starts out with just the guitar and builds to a full orchestra at the end. The slow build-up makes this heavenly and magical
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...
EWF were the only group that I heard their instruments sound like they had a voice
If this kind of music would only make a come back, then maybe people would be a little less stressed in this world. It's like people are going crazy.
It will, but in another place and time
From day one I heard this song this was the most beautiful song I've ever heard and still to this day there will never ever be a band like E W & F ever
Oh I agree --- I loved it when I heard it at age 15 --then years went by and I didn't hear it again until the 90s and again, I was floored -- OMG -- reminds me of when I lived with my Grandma
Preach 💯
Absolutely!!!!

This song reminds me of beautiful times with my ex husband in 1977. We were young and in love. I miss "us" and how it was. He was the love of my life. No one else for me,EVER!
This song and Earth Wind and fire remind me of my momma Thank you EWF
The one and only Philip Bailey!!! No one else compares to his vocal chops.
El DeBarge and the lead singer for Enchantment were just as good as Philip to me. All three are phenomenal singers ❤
I wrote this text in a loveletter to my futuring husband Frank...On our weddingday another song was singing by dear friends: Fantasy, in text about our lifes and love...touching and funny together.

Can Not Go Wrong With "EARTH,WIND&FIRE"
I AGREE! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Feb.22,2021
RIGHT______________!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is simply.....AMAZING!!! Point. Blank. And the period.
I finally saw them last summer outside Toronto, after being a fan since I was a kid. Still amazing...Sensory overload ! The greatest band forever....
When I first heard this song in 1978 I played it over and over. One day I heard it playing downstairs in the living room and discovered that my mom fell in love with it too.
Special lyrics by a very special and talented spiritual group. There will never be another like E,W & F.
Saw them in concert 1974 back stage I got Phillip Bailey's autograph, I was screaming so loud he put his hands over his ears I asked him if I could have a kiss on the cheek, he said that would make his wife mad😁😁😁😁💯
I read somewhere that Phillip Bailey wrote this song when his daughter was born. It is absolutely Beautiful, and sang beautifully by Phillip Bailey. And, Al Mckay is awesome as always on the guitar. One of my favorite EWF songs.
I am glad that he wrote this song.
Once upon a time...it was called...MUSIC😎
You got that right!!!!!!!!
Exactly
This!!
Really those Great music 🎶 era..
So true true getting goose pimples all on the right placers
Greatest band of all times I don't know The Reasons I do know they taught me you can't hide love! Now I wonder what can I do after the love is gone? I wish I could write a song! Feeled with DEVOTION and imagination! I will forever treasure the music you guys blessed us with! Hindu!
I was a little girl in the 70s when my uncles & aunts would sing EWF songs around the house! 2023 & these CAN’T get old!! 🤎🤎🤎
Me too .. 1968- remembering all the good times! My childhood was not bad @all- people were happier!
Some music is ageless, this song is one of those.
One of the prettiest ballads I've heard from this group. God bless Phillip's voice and Maurice's lyrics. It's a personal shame that I couldn't check them out before Maurice's transition, this group's discography is my soundtrack. May the elements of groove long reign upon this world.
This particular song ws written by EWF guitarist Al McKay and lyrics by Philip Bailey.
Philip Bailey is everything ❤️
Yeah but Maurice put it all together
Philip Bailey could sing “Old McDonald Had a Farm” and give you goosebumps. This majestic composition showcases that stirring falsetto of his at its finest.
Totally Agreed❤️✌️💪🙏💯EWF
Maurice will FOREVER be missed! R.I.P.
It's funny how music is the soundtrack for life.
Thoae were the days. We sang about love, not about selling drugs and pimping each other and killing each other. I miss thise days.
Really as it seems us ignorant humans have been doing that from day one! Sounds never dissipate!
Yes those were the days. They made. Us who we are today. The good ones
I play Earth Wind and and Fire EVERYDAY ❤❤❤
Wow again. Another slow dancing to someone special track (I am in tears with writing this as that has gone now!).

@@ericthomas151 I saw them 3 times where I live in Rhode Island, 1st time in 1978 , in 79 and again in 81. All sold out shows. Parliament Funkadelic was another cool concert to go too. George Clinton and his band still jam and saw them in 2019.
YOU NEVERED LIES❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ericthomas151 I absolutely agree with you
Although I am no Phillip Bailey, 40 years ago, my son would love for me to sing this to him. Hard to believe he will be 46 in December
Beautiful music transcends time.
Only ewf could produce such such profound music.
I listened to a Patti LaBelle version or cover, will never compare
Heavy lyrics man.
They don't right songs like this anymore.It makes me smile😊😊😊
Cause they can't write no more😆🎇
This song is not only lifetime. For me it was healing and understanding. November 2022.
Come,
I write a song for you,
You write a song for me
We write a song of Love
You and I

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. ~ Rev 22:17

This is my favorite song from EWF! So beautifully written and song by PB. The band is simply phenomenal! ❤❤
This song touches on every chord of spirituality across the spectrum. It is beautiful, emotional, uplifting and heavy all at the same time. A timeless masterpiece that takes me to so many beautiful places and times in my life. It reminds me of childhood, adulthood, family, friends and so many great experiences. This song is a beautiful light of its own. It’s a classic I have enjoyed since the 1970’s. 🙏☮️💕🙏
Best E, W & F album in our humble opinion. Incredible song.
RC and The Moonpie Band one of their best I used to owned them all back in the days!
RC and The Moonpie Band Amen they are unreal
I've always said All n' All is by far their best album, such greats songs from the Serpentine Fire to Be Ever Wonderful, my parents first had it on 8-track, I bought the album, then cassette and then the CD
and that's saying something with the many great albums these brothers put out. RIP Mr. White
This us undoutedly my favorite. I was 11 when it came out. My second favorite is I AM.
I probably haven't heard this song since it came out and I ate up this album. How amazing!!! This is a love song...and masterfully done!
I get chills every time I hear this 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵.
Thank God for music!!! This band Gifts from God!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you stop for just a moment, a few seconds to reflect on your life's story ,you can write a song, too.
This song reminds me of the wonderful time l spent with my cousin who could hit every note of this song. ❤❤
In my opinion it's the greatest EWF song .😀😀😀
One of the greatest songs ever, full of Devine spirit and energy. This will only resonate with a few.
All-time Classic Beautiful Ballad by The Elements written by Philip Bailey,Al McKay,& Steve Beckmeier
As a 7/8 yr old couldn’t sleep before playing this song on the record every night my sister must have gone bonkers every night!!!! Still love it 40 some years later...
