Earth Wind & Fire had everything thing a band should have. Vocals, outstanding musicians, talented songwriters and the list goes on. I don't think there will ever be a band of there caiber again in this life time.
Philip vocals are phenomenal he can definitely hits those notes he is definitely legendary and so was Maurice White and Earth, Wind and Fire a legend group.
Philip is an amazing triple threat musician . He always receives a standing ovation from me at EWF concerts, and other productions i.e David Foster! Moreover, Philip’s compassion , with his commitment to his music is unity foundation! Offers as much beauty as his tremendous artistic abilities!
I am a drummer with a good strong falsetto , Phillip can go higher , unbelievable, my friends and family are impressed with the power and range of my voice , all I can say is ," I lived in the time of Phillip the Great" !!!!
Philip Bailey's vocals are the signature sound of Earth, Wind, and Fire. The first time I heard him sing live. I said to myself, "Wow, he can do it live and sound like the recording!"
I always thought Philip was a female singing because back in the day, no one knew. All we had access to was sound. When more technology became available, I went into shock to learn it had been a man singing those lyrics in that range the whole time! He's extremely impressive. Just an amazing human being.
I got goosebumps when I saw the album cover… The one with the pyramid 😆 But I remember buying that and just loving all of the music! Philip Bailey… Earth Wind and Fire… “Thank you!“🙌🥰💐
@miystiqueskillz2233 To be fair Maurice White too because he got the whole thing started and he discovered Phillip Bailey and is one of the 3 main singers in the group.
Phillip Bailey a voice from heaven, Earth Wind and fire fantastic group, Earth Wind and fire a gift to the world, The real deal, The greatest The best, The legend , Earth Wind and fire 💐💐💐💐🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
I love Earth, Wind, And Fire! I remember hearing there music when I was a child and getting goosebumps. I still get goosebumps and that great feeling that pure music from the soul gives you. I am so thankful and blessed that my parents was playing this music in our home. Their impact on music is so wide ranging and you can see their impact on Hip Hop with Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Roots, all the way to Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak.
Yes, EWF is my favorite group. Phillip and Maurice were powerful duo. Phillip is the heartbeat---Maurice is the Soul. EWF- have left a spiritual footprint on the musical world. Giving you thank you's and your flowers. EWF---forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of my favorite groups . The energy on BOOGIE WONDERLAND with Maurice and Verdine, the Emotions ...how he Phil comes through them on the stage with his melodious voice...awwww I can't get enough
"Children of the Ghetto" is a Masterpiece . . . along with "Reasons" (among many others) he is one of the Greatest R&B male vocalists ever. oNe LovE from NYC
When we think of high pitched note legend....we think of "Eddie Kendricks" of "The Temptations"....But what if I was tell you it was one man that also had that pitch just ad perfected....that was "Phillip Bailey". "Fantasy" has to be my all time favorite song that "Phillip" utilize his high note pitch.....He is certainly the greatest singers of any time..... 🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤
Yes, indeed. EWF--is my favorite group too!! Maurice White and Phillip Bailey were a powerful duo!! Musical Magic. They touched the world!! What a beautiful powerhouse!! They speak to your soul!! ❤❤❤❤EWF, fan forever !!!
I just saw EARTH,WIND & FIRE in person for first time in Houston,TX at Toyota Center. And yes Philip Bailey can still hit those High Notes and sustain them effortlessly!
Another bad mamma jamma! My high school was just like a school for the arts. People singing in the hallways in all high pitch fascetto ranges. Everyone back then had to sing in high ranges! That was the thang and Phillip Bailey was the one we all modeled after. Beautiful high pitch voice with the song, "Keep Your Head To The Sky." Every one used to sing that song practicing the highest ranges of Phillip Baileys riffs. Definitely one of my inspirations for singing in high fascetto! The group EW&F was and still is a beautiful group with positive music and lyrics!
Phillip Bailey was incredible on the 1980’s Prog Rock album “Smallcreeps Day”. Hired as the lead singer by Bassist Michael Rutherford of Genesis. A forgotten gem. One of my favorite Prog Albums. It could have easily have been the next Genesis album after “And Then There Were Three”. Please check it out if you can find it.
My first concert at 14. Ohhh my, a wonderful time! Those were the good times and many memories growing up then and still to a legendary musician and great artists! 😊
Mr. Philip Bailey is truly God's gift to the world. The angels must have said hey God let's give his this baby boy this high pitch beautiful voice so the world will listen. God smiled and let's give him the voice. God smiled as he looked to and blessed him with one of the most beautiful voices for the world to hear. Philip Bailey is a gifted singer, musician, producer & song writer. He reached the stars and they smiled when he sings. 🎵
Maurice passed away years ago...tell Vernon we are here too stay...Earth Wind and Fire! I love them. My famous group of all times. Herman Jones San Francisco
I loved EWF since the mid-seventies, however once their music began to become more mainstream by the early 80's, their R&B sound changed dramatically to a more POP sound (songs like September, Let's Groove Tonight, and Philip Bailey's duet Easy Lover, with Pop singer Phil Collins, 😤, Earth,Wind&Fire's career was coming to end, and despite Philip Bailey's dynamic 💥💯 Falsetto range 🥰🌟 for those of you who are true R&B music fans, there are so many more dynamic 💥 💯 BLACK male FALSETTO 's especially from the 70's with the ranges that were equal or even better than Philip Bailey's, however most of these powerhouse male FALSETTOS were the LEAD VOCALISTS of their perspective singing groups, the Stylistics, Enchantment, Delphonics, and so many more to mention 🥰, i loved their music unconditionally!!!!
They are not “the black” anything. They are Earth Wind and Fire. No knock on the Beatles. I love them. But in all honesty, the Beatles could never compare.
yes...I like the whole album it was like an EWF junior!!! Second coming is a lot of fun. Lovely just to know you is excellent written I think by Phillip Bailey.@@pammysplaylist2706
Unbelievably, he replaced the late, great Eddie Kendricks as my all time favorite falsetto guy. In the early 70s, I called him "Eddie 2.0", but surpassed and exceeded the historical marks Eddie (and even Smokey) made. He's "Eddie 3.0! He's the greatest.
First off EW&F is the Greatest Band ever!!!! And the Beatles despite their World Wide Popularity couldn't touch EW&F on their worst day. With that being said Phillip miss working out with you at Golds, North-ridge!
Uh uh don't compare them to the "bettles " , E.W.&F STOOD IN THEIR OWN BRILLIANCE . they had AMAZING VOICES and HARMONY the beetles could only dream of . THEY were EXCELLENT MUSICIANS, which according to Q.J ,the beetles were NOT . AS well as wrote their own songs .While embracing an afro-centric spiritual belief philosophy No there's no comparison. Listen to " got to get in you into my life " written and preformed by the beetles to E.W.&F's rendition.....nuff said ....
PHILLIP BAILEY IS ON OF THE GREATEST VOCALIST OF ALL TIME....HANDS DOWN❣️🔥❣️🔥❣️🔥❣️

I love Phillip Bailey forever his voice is so amazing ❤
I came up in the 60s, heard a lot of popular bands with falsetto leads, but none was as strong and unique like Phillip Bailey. *****
The brother from Enchantment could hang with Philip any day easily!!!!! Don't get it twisted!!!!
@@saxyric8992Nah, you got it twisted! Go listen to the end of Mighty Mighty! No man can hang with his falsetto!
His voice is so awesome!!!

Bailey is the reason I wanted to sing falsetto in mid 70's 😅

PHILIP BAILEY VOICE WORLD
Legend❤️🖤💚💯🔥
Amazing beautiful
Greatest Falsetto Singer Ever
This is just amazing to hear and watch!
EWF. Nothing else needs to be said. 😊
Phillip Bailey is one of the greatest EVER. However, I'm still waiting for the "struggle" part.
????????
I love that duet he did with Phil Collins. I remember hearing it on the radio when I was probably 3 or 4 years old ❤
One of a kind, love them
Love the singer, particularly "I Know," and the group. Thank you.
I love 'That's The Way of The World'.
Sun Goddess and Cant Hide Love is my ish.
Maurice passed away years ago...tell Vernon we are here too stay...Earth Wind and Fire! I love them. My famous group of all times.

Their career, coming to an end?
What?!😅
Easily one of the vest vocalist to have ever touched the mic.
My memory is Singing with him in Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church Youth Choir , Denver
Wow! That's way way back. You're lucky to have witnessed raw talent in the making
They are not “the black” anything. They are Earth Wind and Fire. No knock on the Beatles. I love them. But in all honesty, the Beatles could never compare.
Agreed ❤
Have you heard their version of "Got to Get You Into My Life"? Stunning. Far surpasses the original.
This statement couldn’t be more accurate!!!
@afiarae4292- You are💯 correct.👍🏾
I loved them!!! Saw them every time they came to Southern California!!!
😎👉💥
Bailey Rules da Stratosphere 🎼🎶🎶🎵
Maurice White was brilliant ❤
The album free life was produced by Phillip bailey and Tommy Vicari was incredible!
Wish you were here was a big hit in Chicago.
yes...I like the whole album it was like an EWF junior!!! Second coming is a lot of fun. Lovely just to know you is excellent written I think by Phillip Bailey.@@pammysplaylist2706
@pammysplaylist2706 I loved that song and didn't even know he had a hand in it. Life long EWF fan!
Thank U, Infinite Intelligence 😇
Was just listening to his great Christian song I Will in No Wise Cast You Out.
My favorite is devotion I love him as a group member of earth wind and fire
I met this brother years ago in Sacramento and had dinner after a talent show I help with Robert Brookins,
Maurice White and Philip Bailey the two main ingredients of Earth Wind and Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Phillip Bailey and Andrae Crouch singing together on a song called I GOT THE BEST is a great song but because its gospel the dumb world SLEPT ON IT
Unbelievably, he replaced the late, great Eddie Kendricks as my all time favorite falsetto guy. In the early 70s, I called him "Eddie 2.0", but surpassed and exceeded the historical marks Eddie (and even Smokey) made. He's "Eddie 3.0! He's the greatest.
That is the voice that topped Eddie Kendricks. The only voice.
Remember his song Chinese Wall when i was little '80s🤟🤟🤟🗽🗽🗽🏙️🏙️🏙️🌉🌉🌉💯💯💯🇨🇳🧱😼
