    I was a chubby little white boy in the early 80s. The only records my parents ever listened to were from people like the Carpenters and Captain & Tenille. One day my neighbors had a yard sale and I found some 45 records there by someone called Earth, Wind & Fire. I didn't know who they were, but I begged my mom to buy them for me because I wanted to hear more records. I got those records home, put them on my record player, and oh man was my little mind blown. I couldn't stop dancing. From that day on I fell in love with soul groove. A little later I discovered the Commodores, Hall & Oates, Kool & the Gang, and so on. Good memories.

    Hello, this song was created created before auto-tunes
    Let's Groove by Earth, Wind & Fire song meaning, lyric interpretation, video ... was createdusing a device called a vocoder, which predates Auto-Tune by decades.

    I met Verdeen White (the bassist) many years ago. He used to come into this little store I worked at on Santa Monica Blvd. He was always so pleasant and nice and was always interested in so many things. We'd have some nice conversations every time he came in.
    Their name was based on the 4 metaphysical elements of the Universe: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. They were very metaphysically minded.

    I'm a new sub and noticed you did decide to go down the rabbit hole with my favorite band of all time! They were my very first concert...and I'm still trying to find a band that puts on an all around better "live" show than this group. They are the consummate musicians, vocalists..and musical producers. That have such a vast and diverse catalog. You can just get lost in the music if tou really listen to the way they perfectly combine their vocals with the musical composition with all of the instruments. Evey single person is talented and their music reflects it. It's magical how the way they produce their songs where the solos and harmonies blended with the instruments almost become one "voice..sound" but with so many layers. They're are true artists in every way..in their own unique lane.
    Thank you SO much for reacting to them. Please play more.."Fantasy" "Shining Star" "Reasons" "That's the Way of the World"..and many more. 💜💜💜
