What do we hit next from EW&F!?!? 🔥
(Code is andyandalex)
Have you done EW&F Shining Star yet?
I would hit "Fantasy" next, but you're right that you should hit at least 3 to 5 more: "Serpentine Fire", "Boogie Wonderland", "That's the Way of the World", "Sing a Song", and "Reasons" are all good.
@@theactualbajmahal833 Yes. They've heard that, "September", and "Let's Groove". There's no reaction to "September"; I think that they heard that before they had this channel.
Sing A Song
This is probably one of my favorite EWF songs!! Love that you guys hit it! Next one you need to check out is Reasons!! I particularly request that you guys check it out live. There are several live versions, but frankly any of them would be worth a reaction!!
Earth, Wind, and Fire never, ever, ever phoned it in. They brought it this hard every single time. #legends
Well said. True greatness.
Facts‼️
Agreed. 👍🏽
Curtis Msyfield - Superfly (72) 🔥
Tittle track from groundbreaking soundtrack. Its a funky masterpiece
Got view from. 502 to react their response " Never mind then this is cool as hell now" ! 🔥
@@jgsrhythm100 Curtis Mayfield definitely needs his day on this channel, no question about it.
That’s the way of the World should be the next song. That song is a true masterpiece.
Another great one!
In my opinion, Lenny Kravitz's It ain't over til it's over sounds exactly the same.
Yes! Excellent!!Thats the way of the world!
They are so good live!!
Can’t hide love next!!
This song is a clinic in tension & release, as well as a master class in dominant chords under the most beautiful melodies, solos and modulations!!!
Well put, my friend! I get that same tension and release from Gino Vannelli and Steely Dan.
@DropAnchor Yes, Gino Vanelli carries that vibe too.
Well said.
Gino Vannelli has gone unappreciated for much too long, especially his early work
With another band this would be a cheesy song. But EWF has soul and great writing and arrangements. this is true for their soft rock as well as their upbeat tunes.
One of the greatest bands of all time.........and that's NOT an overstatement!! 😎👌
I just don't understand how they are not in the consideration and mentioned. Every aspect of their music is fantastic. Then you see the performances and it is just a total package. What is their weakness? Vocals, arrangements, compositions, instrumentations are all strong.
David Foster wrote this and gave him his start as a WORLD CLASS PRODUCER!!
Guys, you have one of the best reaction channels. I appreciate that you allow the song to play through without stopping and killing the flow. You comment as you go along and give excellent post-play feedback. Love it!
YES! There are a couple other reaction channels I like, but I want to slap them around when they pause at the wrong times, and worse yet when they talk over the music. Actually, I quit a few reaction channels because they can't shut up when the music is playing.
This is one of the reasons why this is my favorite reaction channel. True fan here!
From what I understand, these guys don't need to stop the music because they haven't monetized their channel. Only a few people ban them. But the monetized channels need to wiggle their videos through. Please correct me if I'm wrong though.
Like Andy said, they do the work for you. You can't not enjoy these guys when you hear them, they are just so good. The vocals and the musicianship is just incredible and they know how to craft a song and put it all together. Good stuff, Thank You!
A&A, you'll love their "Fantasy", "Boogie Wonderland" and "Got To Get You Into My Life" !!!!
Serpentine Fire!
It's so funny watching these two, no matter how fast or slow the song, they always move their heads the same way at the same speed. ☺️
@@DrumAndDrumber andy and alex have amazing eye moves too!
Love’s Holiday is my fave ballad from them. Phillip Bailey (the falsetto voice) gets the majority of the attention because of his range, but Maurice White has such a rich voice, I feel he’s one of the most underrated vocalists in r&b.
Exactly! It’s a Phillip and Maurice sandwich- with all that musicality thrown in…
Agreed! Love’s Holiday is my favorite too!
Love's Holiday is amazing. 'All 'n All' could be a cool candidate as an album listen. Man, did I wear out that cassette tape... and I probably listened to 'Love's Holiday' the most.
David Foster, Bill Champlin, Jay Graydon....brilliant writers, musicians and producers teaming with one of the finest bands ever! Magic.
Was going to add this point too. David Foster who right after this moved on to producing and writing with Chicago for the 80's incarnation (love it or hate it) Foster got Chicago on the charts again. Bill Champlin joined Chicago soon after EW&F I AM album. Jay Graydon - master writer, producer, and guitar soloist on Steely Dan "Peg". Jay wrote or co-wrote over 200 songs. Look at his Wikipedia page to see the breadth of artists he worked with.
What a writing club they developed. Even Jay Graydon's resume alone...lead guitar on Peg, co-writer here and Turn Your Love Around by George Benson...that only names a small bit of his body of work. Bill Champlin revived Chicago in many respects when he joined the band and made excellent use of David Foster's many composing talents. Thanks for mentioning them. They are the story behind the story!!!
Just posted this before seeing your comment. Agree 100%. Foster also did some of the arranging as well.
Amazing composition. I remember seeing Graydon remarking he didn't love the arrangement that EW&F did. Those guys can be so critical when working in the creative deep end all their lives. 😊 Just such a memorable track. ❤
“That’s the Way of the World” should be next.
Fantasy by EWF is next!!!
Yes!
Hell yes!
Leonid and Friends does an awesome cover of this song!
In the 70s EW&F gave Steely Dan a run for the money in musical complexity. Love that sax solo here. Thanks for the reaction, dudes!
Trivia / not trivial: This song was co-written by the David Foster, Bill Champlin, and Jay Graydon, the guitarist that played the solo in Steely Dan's "Peg". How can a song this slow and smooth still have so much funk?!
"Mighty, Mighty" should be next. One of the best funk tunes ever, and Phillip Bailey's vocals in the outro are simply not human.
Such a insult that it wasn't on the main Greatest Hits LP.. SMH The first one should be the minor hit "Evil" from 1973 w/great instrumentation in that one with some of their early staples.... THEN!!!!! "Mighty, Mighty"😀
That track is such a banger!
I have mentioned this before here in the comments. I promise that you will be blown away. Please do Earth, Wind, and Fire - "Reasons.' And make sure you do the LIVE version from their 1975 Lp "Gratitude." Absolute Killer.
Yes, REASONS!
Agreed. The 'Gratitude' live version absolutely iconic.
This!!
Oh the 70's riding around in my 1968 327 3 speed Camaro SS. The music back then makes History now. Incredible!
EWF Classic. Awesome. Want to put a bug in your ear. The Spinners, I'll be around. It's time to visit The Spinners!
Good request. So many winners for Spinners!
Yes, they should hear The Spinners, and I agree that "I'll Be Around" is the song to start with.
Album and Movie reaction "That's The Way Of The World" a must do.
Let's be honest, these guys are in the vein of the great artists from Motown, gifted musicians who also understood how to tell a story and entertain. Back in an era when there was an abundance of quality music.
Excellent choice, fellas! This is one of my favourite ballads of all time.
It’s really frickin’ good
Mine too. The sexiest slow dance I ever had was to this song.
Musical perfection. Absolute musical perfection.
The song was written by David Foster, Jay Graydon, and Bill Champlin. EWF produced and performed.
Boogie Wonderland. You can't sit still when you listen to it.
Earth Wind and Fire is 🔥! (and Earth and wind).
Favorite Earth Wind and Fire 😩😭 Best breakup song ever! 😢
This is a good song but I love their other ballad “Reasons” even more. It features Philip Bailey’s falsetto and it is amazing.
SO GREAT! They have to do Reasons next!
Yes! Live version
I love the collab Philip Bailey did with Phil Collins, "Easy Lover".
Nice reaction. I really have to stop underestimating your musical maturity. "As" by Stevie Wonder would be an amazing song for you to check out.
Key changes,no autotune,real musicians.This is everything modern R&B artists try to emulate.And fail.
🎇🎆🎆🧨🧨🧨🧨You absolutely should hit their cover of the Beatle's song "Got To Get You Into My Life". 100% guaranteed "S" tier banger
Serpentine Fire and Fantasy are two you need to hear, the bass on Serpentine fire is spectacular. Don't miss it!
Cool track & excellent reaction. Their cover of The Beatles 'Got to Get You into My Life' would be right up your street
One of the best Beatle covers ever
I was about 8 when my brother brought that soundtrack home. I grew up thinking that “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” was by Steve Martin, etc., etc. So embarrassing. 😂
Larry Dunn killing them keys
Next should be "Written In The Stone" or "That's The Way of the World".... these are life changing E,W&F songs. Those songs capture the essence of music and the teethering effect to the soul of humanity.
Great to listen along with you guys. How about that tight drumming. Last December 2022, the original drummer passed. RIP. Drummer Fred White, who played alongside his brothers Maurice and Verdine White in the Grammy-winning ensemble Earth, Wind & Fire, has died. He was 67..
Aw man, never heard the news about Fred.
OOOH SO HAPPY YOU'RE PLAYING MY BAND...❤❤
One of the best concerts I attended ever was front row seats to see EWF and Chicago. Unforgettable
I saw them at the Greek. You’re right, it was amazing!
"Serpentine Fire" by EWF (5 minute /Promotional 12-inch version) is an absolute adrenaline rush. When I was a DJ in the late 70s, this is the version I played, although most DJs played the 3:50 version. The breakdown is just astounding and one of the best bass lines you'll hear....with a cowbell to boot! Funky to say the least. It is my wake-up song on most days.
AGREE!!! I, too, am a member of the DJ Society...many moons ago...60 yrs old..what a wonderful time to musically grow up ("sigh")
Killer tune!
@@fiftygirl4845 fifty and yall.friend of mine was dj clubs 80s he had several.ewf singles sure that was one he did randb disco night and new wave night i would attend club gigs sonetimes help him schlep gear dinner beer my pay haha plus klipsph floor cabinets we had to haul in on handtrucks he had ewf sly stone awb etc. singles he would trade in or swap another dj back then had the dual ttables were both 60 he still djs part time all digital now those singles many were damaged or he sold he gave 80s roof on fire herbie rockititz mega mix animotion talk talk grandmaster flash and kurtis blow single he always played johhny guitar watson real.motha for ya i found a cd gave to him.still.plays those old rb funk singles he says old schiol dj still play out there younger djs playing old school.vinlys again
@@marktait2371 ever come across any Mother's Finest vinyls?
@@fiftygirl4845 I'll be 60 very soon...59 and holding.
I was thinking that I’m Not In Love by 10cc would be interesting for you to rate. It’s pretty cool the way they layered the voices, something that was very unique for the times. 1975 I think
It came in 2nd place in a poll a long time ago and they said they'd get back to it but haven't yet.
I"d be interested in seeing them react to "Dreadlock Holiday", since Alex doesn't like reggae.
Susan, " I'm Not in Love ' by 10cc is from 1975, and is on the short list of my favs from this amazing era in music. I turned 30 in 1975, I'm now 77, and I still listen to many of the hits from the late 60s well into the 80s. Keeps me young for sure, and it is so awesome seeing young people today literally falling in love with music that is near or already 50 years old!
@@jaycorby Hi Jay, I was 15-16 in 1975, which makes me 63. Younger than you for sure. I was only able to tap into my feelings and emotions through the songs from 60’s and 70’s (and early to mid 80’s). These thousands of songs saved my life!
That's a little fey for them, this one was borderline, lol!
Another classic from this S Tier group
My man on the left was TOTALLY IN THE ZONE...didn't say a word! LOOOOL
Leonid and Friends does a superb cover of this.
That's The Way of the World and Boogie Wonderland next for sure
Now you know the level of perfection that needed to be risen to. EWF set the bars 🎼🎼 for all others to reach for.
I used to want to cover several EWF songs in my band, but nobody could handle the vocals.
I saw Earth, Wind and Fire on the title I got SUPER EXCITED I love this song and hopefully someone will give, "Can't let go" the respect it deserves!
Can't Let Go is a great trip. On the ballad side, "Be Wonderful" and "Love's Holiday" are great. But the truth is just play the whole album, it's always tasty. EWF was one of the mainstays of the soundtrack to my college years (1974-1978).
I love love love "Can't Let Go". I put that on and dance my heart out. That and "Shining Star".
@@CatherineFlading Yes mam! That Sing a Song and Fantasy is super underrated!
@@jirimondo EWF will outlast any era it's truly timeless...
They recorded a cover of Where Have All The Flowers Gone.
This was written by the Hitman, David Foster co-written with the lead singer for the current Chicago. When David presented the song to Earth wind & fire... They said they would love to do it!!! Right Now.... And they recorded it on the spot. 💕
Your Mom and Dad would have approved. This song was TOP from their generation
I saw E,W, and F live in he 70's at the San Francisco Co Palace and WOW! They came out on stage with their full ensemble and they sounded like they did on their recordings. There was so many of them that they filled the stage! Talk about packed! Plus they had amazing special effects! Phenomenal! Never disappointed, pure showmanship and mories that have lasted me my lifetime! They are still performing even though we they have different members do to deaths. If you can, you really need to see them! They are one of a kind, as you know by now! I started buying their "albums" when they first came out (I'm a 'baby boomer' I'm 72 now, still love 'em) 😘🎶🌹
Back in the day, there used to be a radio show on at night that played all the cheesy love ballads and allowed people to call in and dedicate a song to someone. It was way more effort than modern social media, but it was also cooler as the DJ could add their own comments.
Honestly, you should get Adam on with his voice to do something like that on a livestream just for the fun of it.
Where have all the flowers gone...this was done during the Vietnam Nam era.
The dance floor was full when they would play this. What a romantic song - "after the love is gone"...lol.
Great song whose melody is still heard in elevators and grocery stores around the country.
I’m not sure this is a compliment, but it’s ACCURATE 😂😂
You guys love Earth, Wind and Fire and want "S" Tier, check out Can't Hide Love!!!
Was a teenager when this came out and loved it then, but in retrospect realize it sounds A LOT like Yes' "Roundabout" Anyone else agree?
Lol, I'm dying here
" In The Stone" from that album is one of my favourites.
The endlessly changing chords are literaly ear candy...... sublime
Chicago's very own EWF! RIP Maurice White. Fabulous band, a real highlight of my 70s childhood. Great era for music. I think the word I would use to describe EWF is impeccable.
Spot on! However, the adjectives are too few to really do EWF justice.
A David Foster/Maurice White masterpiece ❤.
Another Iconic song by Earth , Wind and Fire. I LOVE how you College young men are soooo open to Great music. My favorite band 🔥💃🎼❤️💃. You have also done my 2 favorites “ September “ and “ Let’s Groove Tonight “ . 🔥💃❤️
This is basically delightful, not just ear candy but a whole buffet of food for your ear.
EWF is like Stevie Wonder meets Chicago.
This song bringht back a flood of memories from 1979. This track had "Sax Appeal" . What a talented group.
Don't forget these guys did got to get you into my life by the Beatles for the sergeant Pepper's movie in 1977
Gotta do "In The Stone" next!
Imagine how great the times were that a song like this was “just another song” at that moment in time.
Earth , Wind and Fire always brings the best memories back...love them!
“This feels like a sappy 80’s song…”. You’ve just encapsulated David Foster, co-writer of this tune.
Love how Andy is in the slow groove and Alex is bopping to each beat :). Slow groove is how I listen to it!
Song was written by David Foster…. Who wrote some of the most notable soft rock songs ever. Later Chicago songs Hard to say I’m sorry, you’re the inspiration etc… we’re also written by foster
They’re old, but till touring ( saw them with Santana last year). Go see them guys! they still sound incredible!
anyone else feel like roller skating ?
Aaah.. this one brings so much memories. Thanks for this guys! EWF never let's down, one of the greatest groups of all time! "September", "Boogie Wonderland", "Getaway", "Fantasy", "In The Stone" and "Sing a Song" are all bangers you haven't yet discovered :)
Trivia: After The Love Is Gone was David Foster, Jay Grayson, and Bill Champlain. Jay is a session guitarist, who actually played the solo on Steely Dan’s Peg. David Foster is a 16 Grammy Awards winner, who produced Chicago’s 80’s albums and gave them a different sound compared to their 70s music. I highly recommend watch the movie Hired Gun, which will give you a lot of history of session and touring musicians (hired guns).
Best EWF ballad - "Reasons" from much , much earlier...
More ballads? Try Can't Hide Love, Love's Holiday & That's the Way of the World. I promise your reaction will be the same. Maurice White was a genius. He put this band together. He wrote & arranged most of the music. And he was a fabulous, genuine person who was loved by all the fans & his bandmates. Thanks guys for taking us back!🎶
“Fantasy” will satisfy your falsetto Jones like no other song. Philip Bailey will blow your mind.
There are so many gems by this band, they can do no wrong. Such a cool goosebumps chorus, I love it.
EW&F did so many good tracks "In the Stone", "Saturday Nite", "Magic Mind", "Can't Let Go", "September", "Jupiter", "Get Away", "That's the Way of the World", "Got to Get You Into my Life" - their catalog is a gold mine.
Seeing them live in 1979: AMAZING!!
Man, this takes me back in time to my childhood and teens. So much greatness came out of Motown. EWF is among the best ever.
From Chicago....RIP Maurice White
Definitely “Fantasy” should be your next EWF track!
EWF "Fantasy" is my favorite! Greatest intro of all time! So busy, but everything fits so perfectly. HARPS!
Oh boy, this brings back memories of high school and my girlfriend at the time who loved this stuff
Back in the 70's, most hard rockers hated almost every other genre of music (disco in particular but not exclusively). But 2 bands we always respected even then were Earth, Wind, and Fire and Tower of Power. That's how great they were. And yes, I love them all now, even disco!
It's pretty funny (and somewhat sad) at how divided we could be, musically, during the 70's. I was on the other side of the spectrum, deeply into Soul and not really into Rock. The bands that ALWAYS got my love and respect from "the other side" were Steely Dan and early Chicago (sprinkle in some AWB and some Boz Scaggs). Wasn't a fan of disco either, but have softened up and can even boogie a bit to SOME of them (with a big smile) in my later years. lol
@@spryttle Yes, I think nostalgia plays a big part in my accepting disco now. Not a genre I'd listen to regularly but it's cool now whenever I come across it.
The horn section of Earth, Wind, & Fire is renowned
One of a greatest groups - sigh - Fantasy has to be heard as well as That's The Way of the World. Best concert I ever went to in the 70's - a show with real talent and no autotune. Their concert video of Fantasy, though the sound is not good, shows the fun they and we had during the shows.
This was one great group of musicians and songwriters. Spectacular.
Another transcendent song by Earth, Wind, & Fire! Vocals, the instruments, the whole feel of the song. . .all masterfully done. This has brought back many memories of going to high school dances. Btw, excellent review of this song, "After the Love is Gone".
I think this is such a beautiful song, gives me goosebumps every time listening to this. 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
This is not one of my favorite EWF's but it still sounds hella good. Philip Bailey's falsetto is like buttah 🧈. The way his and Maurice White's voices play off each is just too good. Joyfully good. Check out "Shining Star" by them, and one of my older favorites.. "Evil".
I worked at the New Haven Coliseum from 1972-1978 and saw at least 150 concerts. The best, bar none, concert I saw there was EWF and Tower of Power. 4 hours and it could have gone on another 4 and they smashed it!!!
Men many of these songs are great. "I can't let go" is really moving.
It's amazing to think I was listening to this song 45 years ago and I love it just as much today!
Reasons, Shining Star, That's the Way of the World, Boogie Wonderland... Everything EW&F does is good. :) Another good one to check out is Rose Royce. Yes, they did Car Wash, but we're not going to hold that against them (besides it was a fun song). Gwen Dickey had a beautiful voice and is worth a listen.
When need real early Funk
Curtis Msyfield - Superfly (72) 🔥
Tittle track from groundbreaking soundtrack. Its a funky masterpiece!
Got view from. 502 to react their response " Never mind then, this is cool as hell now" ! 🔥

Andy’s comment that ‘they do all the work for you’ is now my favorite reaction quote from you guys. I have trouble hearing the chorus with the falsettos. Guess I have to have my hearing aids re-tuned go those higher frequencies. Lol.
Merch suggestion: A & A nodding dogs to sit grooving on the rear parcel shelf. 100% would buy.
