Yes she truly was a Diamond.! Master of Both Old and New 🎶. Yet for all her Success Natalie was still Underrated. 🎷.. 😢 They Just Don't know HOW BAD THUS DUVA REALLY WAS. 😉 #1 💘 her.
Lol, Maurice knew he was the man. I can't think of one person who wasn't touched by Earth, Wind, & Fire's music. Sad that we lost Natalie and Maurice. Too many legends are leaving, but at least we have the music.
Nowadays there's no musicians & artist like these 2 greatest musicians and artist EWF & Natalie Cole. They shows their skills, talent, capabilities in playing musics and sing a song without any advance support from technology comparing now. Currently the music is so meaningless, fully re-engineered and get bored easily when we heard it. Not in a million years we're blessed to have those kind of musicians & artist. RIP Natalie Cole & Love EWF so much
The "Only" person or group who's coming close to this era of musicianship, soul, funk, rhythm, style and showmanship is possibly Bruno Mars and his group.
This is so classic and it all just flows so beautifully. And Natalie blows the roof off and you can see the chemistry btwn her and the group on that stage. One of my favorite videos of all time.
+Jasmin72 Sure was the fun times simple times like going to the record store ,A movie ticket was 1.25 for a triple feature, Dancing the night away in a disco going to the black and white tv to turn the channel to great tv programing and as kid in the early 70's playing street games and riding bikes. Yes I miss the 70's.Glad TH-cam can take me back even though temporary to the 70's through it's vast array of 70's video's
+Nathan “The Prez” Pretlow I loved the 70's so much, Best time of my life! I hear these songs and I get a pit In my tummy!! Makes me want to cry, miss the good ol days!!! If only I could go back. : )
OMG!!! I don't know how I missed this one over the years! I was listening to Natalie's "La Costa" and stumbled onto this....what a wonderful post-THANK YOU-
This performance was HOTTT!!!!! You hardly ever saw EWF perform on any TV show besides maybe Midnight Special, let alone do a medley of some of their songs! The "Can't Hide Love" serenade to Natalie Cole was fly too!
What music lover hasn't fallen in love with TH-cam?!!? Had no idea this collaboration till now. Lip syncing with multiple ad-libs and riffs practically flaw free is amazing to me. This is one of the best videos I've ever seen in my life and I'm an O.M.C. member.
Those moves still set him apart from even today's artist never too much, nothing provocative.. he gave just enough to let you know..he was true to his art...love💕 and all respect for the creative genius Mr professional, hands down to the uncompromising Maurice White....the man the gentleman.
EW&F is by far the one of the greatest bands of Pop, Rhythm and Soul. Every single one of their songs are positive and uplifting. Pure talent in vocal and instrumental. Its almost hard to place them in any category of music because they blend so many influences. Not doubt ranking next to the beatles as song writers and fantastic performers. EW&F is simply the best!
I saw this on live TV when I was a kid..its freakin 2024 and I still get chills!! What a great time in music and EWF was the greatest band I've ever seen or heard..period!!!
Sad but beautiful video. EWF and Natalie both touched hearts. Maurice and Natalie are gone from here but as EWF put it: That's the way of the world. I miss them dearly.
Yeah I have a good memory plus EWF was a big deal in those days. They were all over the place and they were the first music group I was exposed too. What a time to be alive!!! I feel for the young kids who don't have good music like we did in the 80s and before.
Watching this made my heart soar...Natalie, I never knew how much I appreciated you. A classy lady for sure... remembering you now brings back so many warm memories from my childhood. Seeing you in this clip with Earth Wind and Fire definitely is so dearly symbolic of black culture to me. Rest in peace Natalie.
Man 2016 is off to a rough start. First Natalie, then David Bowie, Glenn Frey of The Eagles and now Maurice. Man the people made the soundtrack of our lives are slowly leaving this earth. We're not getting any younger folks. Sigh. Rest In Peace Maurice & the rest of the icons that left us for past six weeks.
Anytime I saw EWF on television during the 70's on television, I was so excited for them and the exposure they received. If I did not see them, my parents told me what show they were on the night before. EWF was always an innovative group of entertainers and I will always love them no matter. All the memories of love and life, I would like to thank The Most High for bringing music into my life and being able to walk this journey.
This is incredible, a fun slice of 70s cool and funk. I had the biggest crush on Natalie Cole. Maurice White is a musical genius. This was the hotness.
My mom punished me the day before this aired- no tv for a week! Even my grandma told her that not letting me watch Natalie’s show was too harsh, but mom didn’t budge. We laugh about it now, but I remind her that she made me miss this show to. this. day. 😂😂 so glad for TH-cam!
I wish I could build a time machine to transport me back to this time...DAMN...I miss this era in music (even though I was only 6 years old @ this time : )...real music, real lyrics, real bands, and real singers.....................sigh.
Oh my gosh, that was AWESOME!!! Natalie Cole - yesssss!!!!!!!! That woman is fine. Can dance, too. Of course EW&F were their usual masterful selves. SO SORRY I never got to see Maurice White perform with EW&F (though they do a pretty good job without him!). That dude is so cool.
THWNK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING!!!! SERPENTINE FIRE // 1:24 SATURDAY NITE // 2:41 CAN'T HIDE LOVE // 4:35 REASONS // 5:59 THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD 🎉🎉🎉🎉 an awesome mix
THIS WAS RIGHT ON TIME GOOD REAL STRONG VIBE SINGING FROM E.W.F.AND THE LATE MAURICE WHITE AND NATALIE COLE.THIS SHOW WAS THE MAX FROM THE LATE 70;S RIGHT ON TIME WORD. #1
Natalie Cole on 12/31/15. Now Maurice White on 2/3/16. Very heavy heart with the loss of these two icons, but Heaven is sounding mighty good right now! (See 2:51:00.)

OMG....Maurice singing to Natalie Can't Hide Love.....FABULOUS!! And she looks so gorgeous...this whole performance was AWESOME!!
EWF has always been my favorite group. This medley is awesome. My first time seeing it.
I cannot believe both Maurice and Natalie are both gone. So glad we have this.
Yes, thanks for posting! I remember when this televised on CBS. It doesn't get any better than this, EWF & Natalie Cole!
Me Too! They are gone Do they can Return And Do it Again To Keep It Going forever And Over.
So true! They passed away 5 weeks apart.
Natalie: December 2015
Maurice: February 2016
I'm reading Maurice's book ... He said he thinks this was the best TV appearance they ever did. EPIC.
MelodyMaker151 what's the book called, i want to read it
"My Life With Earth, Wind & Fire" by Maurice White......I'm reading and enjoying the book!
I totally agree! Truly special
I’m reading it now. ITS TERRIFIC!! Love this performance
Not being disrespectful to any other shades but us African Americans make the best music. The originators of sound. Everything from salsa to country has an African stamp. RIP to all of our legendary artists, athletes and entertainers.......recently RIP to Kobe
I like this kind of music from Blacks very very much...great people

This was shown every night in Lagos Nigeria late 70s. As an interlude before the news. I loved it.
Really? That's dope
True NTA 2 Channel 5
Yeah, every night till I learnt all the words...made me love EW&F😀
RIP Natalie! She could do it all yet never bragged about it.
+yesyoumay A humble soul!!
Yes she truly was a Diamond.! Master of Both Old and New 🎶. Yet for all her Success Natalie was still Underrated. 🎷.. 😢
They Just Don't know
HOW BAD THUS DUVA REALLY WAS. 😉 #1 💘 her.
I was blown away by this performance in '82, and now 32 years later this gives me pimples. There was only one Earth, Wind and Fire.
OMG!!! That was hot. I wish I can go back...I miss those days so much
NATALIE COLE MY FAVORITE FEMALE SINGER OF ALL TIME 🤗 THANK YOU QUEEN FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL GIFT OF MUSIC 🤗👍👍 EWNF WAS FANTASTIC 👍👍😀
Lol, Maurice knew he was the man. I can't think of one person who wasn't touched by Earth, Wind, & Fire's music. Sad that we lost Natalie and Maurice. Too many legends are leaving, but at least we have the music.
Amen! Beautiful Legacy!

The "Only" person or group who's coming close to this era of musicianship, soul, funk, rhythm, style and showmanship is possibly Bruno Mars and his group.
If they can do covers like Earth Wind and Fire. They will make the best money. Because I play the Bass Guitar myself.
This is so classic and it all just flows so beautifully. And Natalie blows the roof off and you can see the chemistry btwn her and the group on that stage. One of my favorite videos of all time.
Freekin beautiful.
Earth Wind & Fire no other band on the globe, even close they are a Universal elite entertainer's R. I .P . ancestor Maurice White
REST IN PEACE NATALIE and MAURICE
My favourite band! It is so amazing to see them singing with Natalie 😍😍😍😍😍
May the legends Maurice and Natalie rest in peace.
MISSING YOU QUEEN NATALIE COLE AND SIR MAURICE WHITE 😪😪 LOVE THIS VIDEO AND A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE BY LEGEND 'S ......R.I.P. ICONS 🙏🙏
Man I cry for the 70's so much good times . And Natalie and now Maurice has gone it's like a part 70's are being taking away from us baby boomers.

It still isn't the same without him . To this day I can't watch them cause it seems moot without Maurice . Love E.W.F.
Same here John. Maurice's voice was truly amazing! Definitely not the same. If you never got a chance to hear him, you truly missed a great experience
RIP Maurice White and Natalie Cole. They departed little passed a month apart from one another.
Oh my gosh, I just fell across this gem. Thank you for this one, never seen before. Two of my favs!
Every time I head 'Can't Hide Love' as a little girl, I always thought I was going to another universe when I listen to it. :)
