    In my view.Greatest "Band" of all time! They were truly a unit playing together as a team for one purpose--the uplifting of all of our minds through the POWER of music. "Keep your head to the sky!"

    Earth, Wind and Fire kept me alive as a child, and I still love them today! I was in a world of turmoil in my youth, but I would lock myself in my room and just sing along with them and it soothed away all my anxieties. The music actually kept me sane! ! !

Earth Wind and Fire Always Played on his record Player in the Basement along with every one else . Only one band gave them a run for their money ballad wise that"s Isley Brothers ... EW&F always had a message, and their music will last for ever .... for true music lovers all over the world ..... they go down as top five bands of all time in R&B music forever amen

    Philip Bailey is the GREATEST falsetto singer of ALL TIME! Maurice White is one of the GREATEST and MOST POWERFUL tenor singers of ALL TIME! The group itself EARTH WIND & FIRE is hands down the GREATEST BAND of ALL TIME!!! A combination of many styles, r&b, soul, pop, jazz, funk, rock, gospel, fusion, and even some blues. There were no limitations with this group. They did it ALL! They were just beginning their historical musical run of a long string of CHART TOPPING HITS with "Head To The Sky"

But Phillip Bailey was very hard to beat in that "Keep Your Head to the Sky" and "Reasons" were two of his best of several more songs bc of those runs he did and the high notes he hit!!!
