🎶🍵Bonus Tea🍵🎶Maurice was the only " White" in the family. Verdine,Fred and 2 more of his siblings changed their surname from "Adams" to "White" to establish them as brothers to the public,so they wouldn't have to explain how they were related. Maurice expressed regret for that because his step father was great,but Dr.Verdine Adams Sr. never tripped about it. He understood
Seems like it would have been better to change his name to Adams...maybe because of business... really all they had to say was we all have the same mom🤷🏾♀️
Thank ❤ you so much for sharing this information. Am a boomer who remember them in the 70’s but then went off in different muscial explorations over the decades. Was fortunate to have heard the band live late 90’s in Seattle’s Summer Nights at The Pier was so magical (but was sadly not with Maurice). Now at 73, I find I need goodly doses of Earth, Wind & Fire to keep my spirits up … so it’s wonderful to know that when I think of the band title, I am actually honoring Maurice. And because I don’t believe we die and there is no time & space … he is always just right there beside me with all of his love. There is no separation. I grew up in a very traumatic environment where I could never believe in myself, in fact hated myself and having been born a female was so shameful where suicide had been a very attractive option for many decades (my parents both suicided out and I am white). While I have done many decades of inner healing work, aging is not easy … so am finding lots of solice in their music and learning about Maurice now all makes so much sense. He has left a timeless legacy for many of us especially who have had a really horrible time in this dimension of prison planet of Babylonian hell, not wanting to be here. Anyways, I first started researching about Verdine and found such an amazing man who thankfully found a perfect long term partner … despite all of his being on the road most of the time. (I saw their renewing of vows video that is so beautiful and full of so much loving support) My research will continue because I love this band so much and how it helps to make me feel on those bad days … it lifts one’s heart & spirit. Again thank 🌺 you for this video about Maurice 🌈✨✨✨✨
@@LeoTheLionessQueen Also, a hearty thanks for keeping it clean. I get so annoyed with the scandalous click bait on artists that feels the need to scandalize and trash everyone they cover. Its about the music and what made them great.
Maurice White is truly a gift to us all. One of God's messenger in music. Maurice White's music resonates through positive messages in the music that lifted my generation. The music gave us hope that we can reach the stars. "You Are Shining Star, No Matter Who You Are." Ahead of his time, great musician, producer, singer and song writer. Started the greatest group of all time. Thank you Mr. Maurice White for giving us the gift of music and wisdom. Rest in God's loving arms. We love you Maurice All in All. ❤ 🎶 🎵 🎶
Thank you for this informative mini-bio. Very clear, straightforward, and factual. Maurice was a musical genius not only for EWF, but also for producing so many other artists. As a performer he was an amazing stage presence. As a musician he was versatile and creative. As a composer, producer, arranger, songwriter, he was original and groundbreaking. Hats off to Quincy Jones and Sly Stone, but Maurice White deserves equal recognition.
THIS divine gentleman & the MAGNIFICENT musical collective he assembled & led for over four decades was & still is my "north star" in music production & LIFE itself. His desire to "uplift the planet" & "serve humanity with the gift of music" as he would say it, is such a noble & respectful pursuit. I'm SO grateful to have lived during the era of EWF's & his own heyday & as well to see this glorious & grand musical & spiritual ethos inspire newer generations. FOREVERMORE honors & respect to you, beloved Maestro Maurice. I miss you SO much & thank you, honored sir for the gift you ARE & for that which you so freely & generously shared w/all of us. Be EVER wonderful, bless up. 🙏🏽 [bowing]
I am currently reading the book. Earth, Wind and Fire is my all time favorite group. Maurice White is one of those few people that leave an impression on the lives of others.
Damn I feel like this should be on one, if not all, of the music channels. You definitely have a knack for this, and a great voice for commentary. I'm already looking forward to the next episode!!
I have been a devout and loyal fan of Earth, Wind & Fire for several decades and I have been waiting for this background information on Mr. White just as long. Thank You so much!!
Wonderful synopsis of his autobiography. I enjoyed reading his life story immensely. Maurice was truly a genius whose hard work, determination and visionary revelations helped him to create one of the greatest band's on the planet. Maurice or as he was affectionately known as "Reece" will never be forgotten and will always remain in our hearts.
I can remember being a youngster in 1974 getting a glimpse of the Open Our Eyes LP. Earth Wind & Fire I knew then they were something special. All those years I followed them they never disappointed, rest in peace Maurice White you may be imitated but never duplicated You're The One and Only.
Team Leo ♌️..... we always do it up in a way that others can't compare. Very detailed and very informative 👍. The best I've seen on EWF AND THE GENIUS OF MAURICE WHITE! BRAVO!!!!
Empress Leo what a brilliant, in fact the best documentary I have seen about beloved Maurice. Well researched and so beautifully presented. You have got the it 💎. You got a new subscriber to your excellent channel ❤️. What a gem of a documentary 💫 . Sharing this.
I loved them when I was in high school, lucky enough to see them in Philadelphia. It's only recently----that I'm well into adulthood---that I deep down get that Maurice White was a true blue icon. So happy he blessed the Earth. He's a one and only.
THIS WAS ONE THE BEST BACKGROUND INFO OF M.WHITE EVER, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS WHOLE Y.T. VIDEO ON HIM AND E, W, AND FIRE. FOR YEARS, I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW HE LINKED UP WITH BILLY STEWART AS A DRUMMER, NOW I KNOW BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO-GOD BLESS YOU, AND THANK YOU.
I really appreciate you for this🙏🏽Once my work schedule slows down,I'll work on more videos like this.I have received so many wonderful comments from this video
Maurice White was a musical genius. I was fortunate enough to see Earth Wind and Fire in concert 3 times. I have every recording they ever made. My favorite album is "Faces". There is no sound like the transcendent music of Earth, Wind, and Fire.
Maurice, and EWF in general, needs their own big budget movie, just like Freddie Mercury got with the Bohemian Rhapsody movie! Maurice is such a fascinating human who lived a fascinating life. If the movie is done right, I'm 100% positive it could be a real blockbuster.
First of all Maurice White was born Dec 19, 1941 not the 16th.. People need to do their research right, because I'm the purest fan of the genius of Reese..
First of all,your energy sucks.I didn't sleep with you lastnight,so the negativity you can keep to yourself.It was one mistake,but the point you clearly missed was that I was paying tribute to him by doing this video! I've also read his book.You are not the only music fan in the world.Grow up
I appreciate that.I have no issue with being corrected,it's just the way it's done.I love meeting other music lovers like myself.You have a blessed day❤️
@@LeoTheLionessQueen thank you for this video. Although, the date was off a couple of days. Mr. White was still a Sagittarius like myself. It explains why I admire him so.♥️

Maurice said that he regretted not using the Adams name. He loved Mr Verdine White.

Leo! Can you do one on Gil Scott-Heron??
I surely will, he's definitely apart of the line up I plan on doing for future episodes 🥰
EWF will live forever, along with Maurice White. I will take their songs to heaven with me!
Maurice White was a musical genius. I was fortunate enough to see Earth Wind and Fire in concert 3 times. I have every recording they ever made. My favorite album is "Faces". There is no sound like the transcendent music of Earth, Wind, and Fire.
I'm gonna listen to that particular album today while I'm at work🥰
@@LeoTheLionessQueen my favorite song is "You Went Away" and "Turn it into something Good". I'm going to listen to the album myself.
"...he also learned about the Kalimba, which would come in handy..." IC wut U did Thar!👍🏾
very good
REPLAY GANG,

Maurice, and EWF in general, needs their own big budget movie, just like Freddie Mercury got with the Bohemian Rhapsody movie! Maurice is such a fascinating human who lived a fascinating life. If the movie is done right, I'm 100% positive it could be a real blockbuster.
