Larry Dunn was iconic not only with E,W&F but his innovative side projects with Ronnie Laws, Caldera, and Stanley Turrentine to name a few, were outstanding. Larry is a true genius on keyboards.
Larry Dunn on the Fender is more like a cosmic stenographer than a keyboard player, transcribing the languages of spirit and soul and making them accessible to the human ear.
Youngins enter into the music business naive, thinking they know the craft. Then they meet the masters of the instruments. At that point they should realize that they have a long way to go. Salute to EWF.
All those beautiful Earth Wind and Fire songs with Larry wonder rhodes .. Can't hide love, That's the way of the world, be ever wonderful, Saturday nite... Lovers Holliday...Denise Williams -Free...Shining Star ( Chorus)...Reasons.......on and on.. Larry was the man!!
Yes-- I would like to sit down and rap to this brother too- amazing- I remember when Brazilian rhyme dropped on the all in all album-- I thought man-- what great musical candy-- that's the way of the world is amazing-- now they really have outdone themselves in just a few minutes time--
Earth, Wind & Fire's secret weapon for hypnotizing the ladies with powerful musical seduction. They were reared helpless against that dynamic instinctive groove. Thanks for keeping it creatively smooth Larry. You are a "Shining Star" among legends. Please consider writing an autobiography for your legion of worldwide fans. I Look forward to the new Earth,Wind and Fire album as well as the new Devoted Spirits album. Take care and God bless.

Listen, its soo unfair to hear only these little teasing samples of songs in these episodes, lol. Otherwise this was very fascinating and informative. Larry Dunn, Charles Stephaney two of the unsung Heroes of ''Earth Wind & Fire''...
Mr. Dunn should have did voice overs for an Adult Swim show! Heard he's going through some rough times. Hope you are well sir. Thank you for your talent!
Vernell Thomas, Hey Mr. Thomas thank you for the comment about voiceovers, I actually do voiceovers, but I don’t know where the rough times thing came from? I have my own band with my wife and I ,13 piece. Stevie Wonder loved it so much she came out and sat in with us almost an hour a few years ago. The Larry Dunn Orchestra Still performing recording and enjoying life with my wife and family. Go to my website and check out what’s going on. LARRYDUNNmusic.com God bless you and your family
Wow, he is the bomb, ewf had a smokin band, vocalists keyboard and the horns were out of this world, their music will be relevant forever, that kind of talent is missing today, i feel sorry for the kids today, their music is so subpar they have to go back to the 60,70 to really get that jewel called music.
I saw EWF about a month ago in Durham. I saw them a little over a year ago in Raleigh at a small venue called the Red Hat Amphitheater. They turned that show out with new material that was absolutely incredible. Their performance in Durham did not approach the Red Hat one. I think they are like other performers I like: depending on the audience and location, they can go deep funky or more middle of the like when they tour with Chicago. I wish the Red Hat performance had been recorded ... it was absolutely wonderful. I first met them at a friend's apartment in DC in the 70's. The whole group was crowded into an efficiency apartment. I remember them from the beginning.
I e been to california back in the day but it seem like I could get on my feet so I came back home it's so expensive to live out there is there something called a moog synthsizer???
First I saw EWF they didn't have tbe horn section. Second time guitarist Johnny Graham doubled on trumpet with saxist Andrew Woolfork. Then they wrote tunes with great horn lines and strings and could afford horns!
Awesome, story, Mr. Larry.💯👍

The Rhodes on Raise and Powerlight albums is absolutely to die for. That bell-like tone is stunningly beautiful.
Larry Dunn is a straight cool composer, arranger etc., Love to meet him. We're just a year apart.

Back in the day, you needed actual talent and skills, today none required, just clever marketing and lots of tattoos and bizarre behavior.
