This is one of Phil Collins’ all time favorite groups. He spent a lot of time backstage at their concerts and did a collaboration with the man with the falsetto, Philip Bailey. The song is called Easy Lover that you will love I think. Btw, ad- libbing is inherently a part of R&b/Soul music which is why Michael does it also although he became more of a pop artist later in his career.
As a gen X’er, I’ve heard this song sooo many times. Every wedding I’ve ever been to and countless parties have played this. It’s a great get up and boogie song!
I agree with Your Subscribers Seph one of the Best Bands of All Time; 6 consecutive double platinum albums and 11 consecutive gold albums . You should Definitely do a Lot More Earth Wind and Fire Songs; You will not regret it.🔥🔥🔥
I saw the suggestion for this in the comments so I looked it up and I really liked this band! I recommend the song Fantasy by them I"m addicted to this song 😂😂
This group had a lot of hits man. But IMO their masterpiece was "Fantasy", although "Let's Groove", "After The Love Is Gone", "That's The Way Of The World", "Shining Star", "Reasons", "Sing A Song", "Sun Goddess", and "Boogie Wonderland" are also favorites of mine.
OMG Seph, you're the best. ♥ I suggested 'cause I'm a big fan of the elements... Earth, Wind and Fire. This group is LEGENDARY because they lived life to a very High Standard exemplified by the groups founder and leader the GREAT Maurice White. They're considered the GREATEST R&B Soul Group EVER..!! So, from this era: Maurice White - lead singer, a great drummer, played kalimba and writer/composer/producer of many their songs. Philip Bailey - falsetto voice and conga. (And you're righ, Maurice and Philip got high voices) Verdine White (Maurice's brother) - vocals and bass. Fred White (Maurice's brother) - drums. Ralph Johnson - vocals, percussion and drums. Larry Dunn - keyboards/synthesizers. Louis Satterfield - trombone Don Myrick - saxophone Johnny Graham - lead/rhythm guitar Andrew Woolfolk - flute, saxophone and percussion. Roland Bautista - vocals and lead/rhythm guitar. Al McKay - lead/rhythm guitar and percussion. EW&F Supreme musicians and singers. ♥ FACTS: September is a previously unreleased song on their Greatest Hits album (1978) that would go on to become their greatest hit. LOL Also known as the greatest filler song all the times (I gotta disagree). This song is a re-working of sorts of the song "Whole Lot of Shakin", which Maurice White and Al McKay wrote for The Emotions (another american soul/R&B group). Next song? FANTASY studio version and live performance at the Oakland Coliseum (1981) CAN'T HIDE LOVE I'LL WRITE A SONG FOR YOU and, BE EVER WONDERFUL are great songs too, omg its really really difficult to choose a EWF song.
Love this song brings such nostalgia , R.I.P Maurice White the lead singer of Earth Wind and Fire, Please do a James Brown Reaction to James Browns Dance moves and SOngs
EW&F - one of the best bands EVER! Great live in concert, too. They have lots of other great songs to explore, most upbeat and danceable like this one. Plus some beautiful, beautiful sad ballads.
Songwriting mastery. Notice how it keeps moving forward, lifting & lifting. Even when it comes back to verses. Fun Fact: The 'Ba-de-ya' line was something Maurice White often used in songwriting to work the melody until he had lyrics. But in this case they kept it. Good call; it's iconic now. 😁
Now that you hear 70s Disco Music how about Bee Gees? "Too Much Heaven" would be one Song that will blow your mind, trust me :D would be cool to see this haha.
I don't want you to eat your hat, because I adore it, but "September" only reached #8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1978.
Great reaction Seph. Maurice White was the main force behind EWF, but the legendary Philip Bailey had that fantastic falsetto voice. My next choice would have been “Fantasy,” where Bailey got to sing lead on the whole song, and also would love to see you react a concert of EWF. Fun fact During the 70’s thousands of people went to witness their incredible shows, including celebrities, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀. Verdine and Ralph (EWF's members) remember in a documentary how 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 went to see their shows very often, being surprised by the magic tricks and other things, causing a young 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹, still in the process of developing as a star, to analyze everything that appeared on stage and would implement in shows in the future. Some clear examples are the 1981 Triumph Tour, 1984 Victory Tour and 1987 Bad Tour as a solo artist. ✨
Please react to Let's Groove by them, it's a great upbeat song as well! That's The Way Of The World is another one I would recommend, it's beautiful and a little slower, but there's no video so you should do the lyrics 😀
Gotta love Maurice White's vocals, but theentire vibe is captivating. Even sitting down, this song comes on and your butt cheeks start dancing...welcome to your introduction to "The Elements" (Earth, Wind & Fire)
Also I don't know if you're familiar with a band called Lynyrd Skynyrd but I'd like to request the songs Simple Man and Free Bird by them, if you could give it a chance, I would love to see what you think

This is one of the most popular songs ever
At a black wedding, this song is as mandatory as the vows (if older folks have access to the DJ 😆).
This is Classic Soul Music and Earth, Wind, and Fire is one of the greatest band in the whole world.
It is Funk specifically more than Soul.
@@sinjin4563, were you there?!
I used to like this song by Earth, Wind & Fire but never realised it was called ‘September’.
The Michael Jackson “hee hee” was spot on👏👏
Such an amazing song 👌😍
They were FIRE back in the day! Hit after hit after hit! They are legendary.
Don't forget earth & wind.
@@liduck52 That is, "FIRE" as in hughly popular. They were always known as Earth EWind & Fire. : )

oh, I didn't know Maurice was dead 😞
EW&F - one of the best bands EVER! Great live in concert, too. They have lots of other great songs to explore, most upbeat and danceable like this one. Plus some beautiful, beautiful sad ballads.
Once the vibe hits, your body involuntarily starts grooving to it.
Songwriting mastery.
Notice how it keeps moving forward, lifting & lifting.
Even when it comes back to verses.
Fun Fact:
The 'Ba-de-ya' line was something Maurice White often used in songwriting to work the melody until he had lyrics.
But in this case they kept it.
Good call; it's iconic now. 😁
Now that you hear 70s Disco Music how about Bee Gees? "Too Much Heaven" would be one Song that will blow your mind, trust me :D would be cool to see this haha.
And don't forget "Stayin' Alive". ;-)
This instantly reminds me of African American family reunion cookout music. I don't know if it was the same for black families in the UK.
I don't want you to eat your hat, because I adore it, but "September" only reached #8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1978.
Great reaction Seph.

The song was from 1978
I love their songs!! Hopefully you'll react to more of their music, Let's Groove would be a good one, it's a very feel good song
Rock it dude
This band is amazing!!! You should react to Boogie Wonderland and Fantasy next; trust me these songs are bangers
Check out Anything You Want by Earth Wind and Fire 🔥
I miss the 70's
Please react to Let's Groove by them, it's a great upbeat song as well! That's The Way Of The World is another one I would recommend, it's beautiful and a little slower, but there's no video so you should do the lyrics 😀
If you like this song I think you'd love Fantasy or Let's Groove, they have really good songs
Man please do more EW&F!! They are soo good! 🔥
Try reacting to “let’s groove” by earth wind fire
Hey Seph if you need recommendations please react to Let's Groove or Boogie Wonderland next!! This band is great! One of the best bands of the 70s!
I should really react to them again :D
@@SephPlays oh please do! I love them
Please react to Let's Groove or That's Ths Way Of Ths World, this band is great! You really should check out more of their discography
MJ was imitating EWF. No shade. Just real talk.
No imitation, just inspiration.

EWF was the sound of blackness in the 70’s. The catalogue is endless. Research!!!!!
I'll have to do another reaction to these guys! 😍
Are you born in the U.S.A. and you have never heard of them?
UK 😅🇬🇧
@@SephPlays ouch.
THis is major CAP that you never heard of them... clickbaiting like a mf
I haven't honestly never even heard anything like them before. It's not clickbaiting if its true :/
