That is an amazing groove at that time point. Then when the horns kick in at 2:15, it takes it next level to where you just want to get up and start doing spin moves. lol. EWF doesn't let go of the groove throughout this masterpiece...
This is me,sometimes. For two reasons mostly : the fact that his music causes an eruption of indescribable joy 😊, and the other being he,no longer being here anymore 😔😔😌 I sometimes feel we didn't appreciate Maurice White enough 😔,but thank God for him,living through his songs which will be with us,for a very long time 😌🙏🏻
I just came across this and....talk about songs which transport your mind and spirit,back into times where life was much simpler and beautiful 😌 I just can't explain what wells us within me,as a young guy in his 20's when I hear this song 😌 It's about time we address Earth,Wind and Fire as magicians God has allowed us to borrow for a moment. Maurice White is already been gone 5 years,and I feel we didn't appreciate him enough,which hurts me sometimes 😔😔😌 All the same,he is with us through his euphoric masterpieces he left with us,and the band who are still active. God bless Earth, Wind and Fire. To Maurice White, May God Bless You, even though you see him face to face now 😌
I'm 55 years young and I still dj part time and have heard lots of various music. Am I the only one that believes that this is one of musics all time most underrated songs ever.........presenting Earth wind and fire !!!!!!!!!
I can't let go of the love I have for Earth, Wind & Fire. They are definitely the greatest group of all time! RIP Maurice. God bless you always.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In 1979 I graduated high school, this album plays a big part in my life... I could listen to this song all day... Thank you EW&F for this great music.. I can't let go. 😊😊🎧🎈🎈🎈
I too graduated that year of 1979. This album was given to me from a dear from friend who passed on. This song bring on such sweet memories. Thank you Maurice White and Earth Wind & Fire for the great music. We can't let you go Maurice White , We love you RIP 🎶 🎵 😊
I'm a member of the Class of '79, too, and yesterday--6/7/22--was the 43rd anniversary of my high school graduation. I bought _I Am_ that summer and wore this song out!
Maurice White I want to Thank The Creator for your existence to feed us musically for decades & now forever..You went peacefully in your sleep...Everytime anyone plays your Music we will be reminded for your spectacular stage presence surrounded by The Greatest Band in the World "Earth * Wind *&* Fire" My heart is so heavy right now...Sleep on in the tranquility of divine Peace...Maurice White
Earth Wind & Fire is the best. I listen to them everyday to lift my spirits. They should definitely incorporate this high energy song into their current concerts 🔥👏
Incomparable happiness. Wow. I couldn't have said it any better, Kayla. Maurice will live forever. One of the world's greatest singers ever. I miss him so much!
@@ILuvMyBrwnSkin No it is not underrated, because this implies the song, as you put it, fares less well, compared to other songs. I think you must mean, this track, as brilliant as it is, doesn't have the same accolade as the others, or for whatever reason, is somehow overlooked
This song Spoke for all of us who became teens in the 70's - and then fell in love with someone who returned it ... Pure Happiness that lasted for a lifetime ... well, erm? until... 'Something happened along the way and yesterday was all we had' ...Great album
This track in my humble opinion ought to have been a global release, as a mark of respect on the day Maurice died! Only then, would it have got the recognition it deserves.
So true Radio always playing fasntasy and September, which are also great, there must be some rights issue pr something as this is clearly amazing, everyone I show loves it and isn't familiar
32 years young and my Momma played this almost daily and still does now I play it for my babies passing along our generational wealth of music. As I get older it has become like an Ode to my Mom I love her so much God Keep Her ❤️
In my family it was passed from Sibling to sibling and there where quire a number of years separating my two older sisters and as result musically r n b, disco, house and hip hop has been a lifetime of joy. Despite the age differences, we where all into and inspired by the same music.
Simply amazing! How I loved the 70's! This came out in 1979. The album wouldn’t be out of place in todays music and would put most of it to shame! That’s how good EWF were. Probably the worlds greatest ever band. I can’t think of any other group that can come anywhere near their musical ability and expertise! Truly and simply amazing band. I ‘Can’t let go’ that’s for sure!
One of the most underrated songs ever by EWF! This should have been a #1 hit! Maurice White's voice went to orbit on this and the background vocals were phenomenal. This song should be re- released on a movie soundtrack! This is timeless 🎤🎼🎹🎶
@Stormie Weather You are so right. A person had to buy their albums to find out all of the other hits that actually existed bc they didn't play all of their music publicly or mainstream. They have so many hits that it ain't funny and it is impossible to name them all. It's worth the time to get all their albums (CDs) to investigate what tunes we missed that may be other hits. They became mainstream in 1973 or 1974 with "Keep Your Head to the Sky" to my recollection. I was in college and everyone's music was played in our cafeteria and student union where we had a chance to experience music from different areas of the US so we heard a lot of music from many states. Their music was enjoyed by everyone from everywhere. They had hits year after year after year even through my early career time in the 80's. They just kept making hits even in the 90's playing hits from their past years until Maurice died. We love this group and the legacy they left with us!!!
@ Trevor Precarious You are so right. It's easy to tell that they are trained musicians (ones who read and maybe write music) bc they play crescendo, decrescendo, syncopation with the upbeats, downbeats and offbeats as well as other musical terms I don't remember bc it's been ages since I learned and played music. I played woodwinds but tinkered with the brass and strings bc my mom wanted all her kids to learn music so I was exposed to the guitar, piano, trumpet, and tuba. BUT this group by far is the best band that has ever existed in Black culture and all cultures really!!! Earth, Wind and Fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I can still hear the MC say their name with much enthusiasm as he introduced them to the stage!!! They are TIMELESS!!!
This song brings tears to my eyes. One of the most joyous catchy choruses EVER!!! ....and the fade out / fade in to "After The Love Has Gone" on the original "I Am" album is truly enchanting. Maurice White...truly gifted by God.
@ Martin Johnson Then "After the Love is Gone" fades into "Let Your Feelings Show" with that introduction with the saxophone and African drum beat which is so EW&F when they first came out. Man oh man, a person has to be made of steel if they don't want to get up and dance to "Let Your Feelings Show" as well!!! They have so many hits!!! They had such a terrific band where it is obvious that these guys were trained musicians (knew how to read and possibly write music). They had two lead singers, Maurice White and Phillip Bailey, who had extraordinary voices in each own's right; my GOD; they were destined to be great. I don't know who they worshipped, even though it seemed they were singing about GOD, now that I know what some of the symbolisms on their album covers really mean but I do believe that GOD stopped to listen to their music bc they were just that good. After all, it was He who gave them their gifts and talents!!!
Love that is born in truth All the doubt removed Lover's eyes are blessed Only see the best I can't let go Of a love that grows You're my woman, baby love You know I love you, so Empty hearts are free Bring your love to me Soul chase the moon, oh man Shadows hug the room Turn off the light Sneak in bed at night Darkness shut its eyes, baby I open mine to you I can't let go Of a love that grows You know I love you, so Can't let go You know I love you, so I can't let go Of a love that grows You're my woman, baby love You know I love you, so I love you, so, I I love you, oh I can't let go Of a love that grows You're my woman, baby love You know I love you, so I can't let go Of a love that grows You're my woman, baby love You know I love you, so I can't let go Of a love that grows You're my woman, baby love You know I love you, so
bought this vinyl for 50 cents at a rummage sale about 10 years ago. Finally got a record player and when this song came on.... Maaaan just the feel it brings. Great group but this may be my favorite song by them.
Why this song was not one of their hits boggles my mind! It was killing it even when they first made it! Still is today and it's beat is timeless! These were and still are some bad dudes!
This song always makes me happy and want to dance. I grew up listening to Earth, Wind, & Fire. I have so many memories of the times when it was cool to sing about being positive. EWF members were young, vibrant, and bursting with creative music. Maurice White RIP, Philip Bailey, Larry Dunn, and the Horn section. They were a force to be reckoned with in their hay days. How I miss those days. Wish I could go back sometimes. I think it's safe to say they were the best R&B Funk group ever to grace the stage and our culture. The best of all time.
The Part A and the Brilliant transitional motif of this music is incredible. Musically I wish they had recapitulated the darker and funky First Part before going out with the Chorus. Maurice White and Philip Bailey and all of these folks created the most loving funk/disco sound of the 70's. They could be Bad in a loving way. God Bless Them.
Earth, Wind & Fire played the soundtrack for my life during high school and college. Those songs have never faded for me and continue to bring joy to me with every note I hear. I wear my son's patience when he's in the car with me by droning on about how special these people were to the music world. The Elements of the Universe set the bar high. There will never be another EWF!
Maurice was a musical genius My God !! This song is so tight , Horn section was very dynamic , & tasty .... Keyboard is so fantastic & funky ! Maurice your we 're really a blessed , spiritual soul ... 🙋♂️🏆👏❤🙏
I'm 31 and this is the music I grew up listening to. I loooooove this song. I mean this song was decades old when I first heard it as a kid so, now I really feel old listening to it lol. Rewinding the cassettes over and over to this, "Speed of Love", "Spirit", "In the Stone".... I could go on and on. I absolutely love this music!!
Crying all day long and listening to EWAF ........ what musical genius Maurice was, unbelievable ...... Comparing to other musicans at that time ....( there is no comparising, Maurice was on the top of the shelf)
Try comparing EWF to the nowaday garbage. What in the world happened to music? It's just a bunch of talentless creeps, who can't make songs without their little "autotune" software. EWF is gold compared those losers.
I’m 24 and I love old underrated classics like this but all my people in my generation would clown on me for this shit but I don’t give a fuck this shit hits different.
@@hiltonturner9915 Yes, they are well known in music circles and by music lovers and they even got famous songs like September. I'm talking famous like The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Rolling Stones famous... That's how good they are. They should be be well known by every single person in the world. They get a list of great songs.
Oh my God,oh my EWF😊It’s very great,positive,uplifting,psychadelic song.My song 30 years.Thank you EWF,I love you forever🙏☀️⭐️sense and joy of my life-EWF🙏
2024 still listening, everyday and loving the music more. A boomer who loves E W F. Oops! Just found out Im not a boomer, but a Generation Jones. 1954 - 1965. 🤣🤣☆🎶
Check them horns on Let Me Talk. The 'call and respond' starting around 2:50 was pure genius. Who would think to do that with instruments instead of voices?!
They're panned hard to the left towards the end of the song, absolutely brilliant! I heard the song for the first time only two days ago and have probably played it more than 100 times since and being a hobby music producer I do try to pick out little things like that. Love the way the main vocals centred but the ad-libs are also panned hard left and right giving a nice wide feeling and also check the hi-hat panned to the right with a shaker panned to the left, when combined, they sound amazing (you may not be able to unhear them separately after so be warned lol). I think this song has come and stolen a position in my top 5 of all time songs ❤️

Definitely one of the best groups of all time
The energy is incredible 😊
1:46 . . . A voice to horns transition that is flawless...
That is an amazing groove at that time point. Then when the horns kick in at 2:15, it takes it next level to where you just want to get up and start doing spin moves. lol. EWF doesn't let go of the groove throughout this masterpiece...
Double C on trumpet to kick it off.@@Alexthegreat27
DAMN WE WILL NEVER GET THIS KIND OF SINGING AGAIN ONE OF THE BEST LIVE BAND'S EVER👑👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🎤
Does anyone else get teary when Maurice's voice soars?
Yessss I do also #Spirit & Be Ever Wonderful
Sometimes
His voice DEFINITELY evokes an uplifting, happy, positive feeling that CERTAINLY can move one to tears......tears of joy!!!!! Love me some EWF.
Yes

One of their best songs, it deserved much more attention. It has everything that the band is about :)
This is an all time classic from the greatest group of all time! Rest in power Maurice White! Salute!

I'm a member of the Class of '79, too, and yesterday--6/7/22--was the 43rd anniversary of my high school graduation. I bought _I Am_ that summer and wore this song out!
they played the guitar solo of this song on wfaa channel 8 when a movie was about to be played.
my dad graduated in 79 so this all I know lol
love this uplifting song. Only EWF can do it for me. R.I.P. Maurice White & ty for all the encouraging & uplifting music & lyrics. 8-2-20
If this song doesn't get you moving, check your pulse. It's musical energy. ⚡🎶
The music is magical bordering spiritual.
Too right man. EWF is life!
!
This was my Pop's band. Miss u 😢 old man. R.I.P. 9-28-21. EWF music comforts me and makes me sad 😔 😟 all at once.
Had knee replacement surgery 4 weeks ago- still did a little dance when this came on!

Earth Wind & Fire is the best. I listen to them everyday to lift my spirits. They should definitely incorporate this high energy song into their current concerts 🔥👏
This is a song you can't just listen to once...
Can't Let Go is an amazing song and I Am is an amazing Masterpiece of an album.
1:45 this part is insane
The maximum 👍👍
I also love that part so much, for whatever reason, it always makes me think of a tall skyscraper.
Larry’s killing synth solo
Hands down their most UNDERRATED SONG
This needs to be more widely played lol
It's the instrumental fill. If there was more singing, I'm sure this song would have been played on every dance floor the last 30 years.
Agreed. This is used in a class that I go to and always gets the energy up
It was very popular when the album came out.
So so true…love this song 🎶💯🎶🤩
No disrespect meant but how can it be underrated if it has had nearly 5 and a half million views?
This song invokes such an incomparable happiness in me every time I listen to it! RIP MAURICE!
Kayla you're are totally right. I feel the same happiness!
Total psychadelic😊☀🙏
kayla black une vraie douceur
Yes So True💙😇☺
Incomparable happiness. Wow. I couldn't have said it any better, Kayla. Maurice will live forever. One of the world's greatest singers ever. I miss him so much!
This song is so underrated
Criminally underrated
Sounds like a celebration never gets dull sounds fresh and new every time #soulmusic
TOTAL BRILLIANCE!

underrated masterpiece!!!
I'm a musician and I love all types of music but for me earth wind and fire is by far the funkiest band to this day. Their music is timeless
This song in particular. I love the high energy "Can't Let Go". It ignites my world with a powerful happiness and joy.
This world will never see anything like them again. Being 65, I've had the pleasure of seeing then and enjoying their music since 1971.....
Arrangement and Production heaven! RIP MAURICE WHITE!
CocoPackage Absolutely Beautiful Song💙💙💙
David Foster kinda knows his stuff :)
@@mobiledrummeractually Thomas Washington aka Tom Tom 84,arrange the horns and strings.This song was written by Maurice,Bill Myers and Allee Willis.
this is on my list of greatest songs ever made. THANK YOU!!!

Listen to this piece of music. It's way out there. No wonder they call themselves earth, wind, and fire! 👍
This track in my humble opinion ought to have been a global release, as a mark of respect on the day Maurice died! Only then, would it have got the recognition it deserves.
So true
Radio always playing fasntasy and September, which are also great, there must be some rights issue pr something as this is clearly amazing, everyone I show loves it and isn't familiar
i went to one of my first concerts ever last year and it was a tour for ewf, and they played this. that shit was so cool, live music is truly magical
gorgeous
Pure genius!!❤🎉❤🎉❤😂 The band is pure perfection. The brass is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:46 This is life......I just love all the instruments!!!!!! The best break down 💃💃💃💃💃
Can't stop listening to this
32 years young and my Momma played this almost daily and still does now I play it for my babies passing along our generational wealth of music. As I get older it has become like an Ode to my Mom I love her so much God Keep Her ❤️
That's awesome!!!!!
I bet this song made Moma jump in Spirit. ALL DAY LONG !!!!!
I got this album from my Mom at about 9 yrs old. I'm 53 now and love it more than ever!
In my family it was passed from Sibling to sibling and there where quire a number of years separating my two older sisters and as result musically r n b, disco, house and hip hop has been a lifetime of joy.

This was our Jam me and my wife..she is now gone and the song is all that is left .. we will dance again we will have our dance....
Great band.Brings back such happy memories.
A truly spiritual experience every time I listen to this song.
This album changed my life, thank you so much.
This song is legendary!!!! So much soul/energy in one track!!
Legendary ❤️
Well said bro
I've been listening to this this song for so long and more people NEED to here about it
Their music, as it was written, was destined to be timeless, and so it shall be.
@@AVideoMan83 ah yes
This song's chord progression is really quite amazing. I can't believe this song lives in the shadow of September (no disrespect to September).
This is a such a 'superior' song no disrespect to September. Clearly EWF is a different category of music altogether
September is probably my least favorite song from EWF. They have so much great music.
@Stormie Weather You are so right. A person had to buy their albums to find out all of the other hits that actually existed bc they didn't play all of their music publicly or mainstream.

You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so
Empty hearts are free
Bring your love to me
Soul chase the moon, oh man
Shadows hug the room
Turn off the light
Sneak in bed at night
Darkness shut its eyes, baby
I open mine to you
I can't let go
Of a love that grows

Can't let go

Earth, Wind & Fire played the soundtrack for my life during high school and college. Those songs have never faded for me and continue to bring joy to me with every note I hear. I wear my son's patience when he's in the car with me by droning on about how special these people were to the music world. The Elements of the Universe set the bar high. There will never be another EWF!
this song is a sensational bit of musicality its so good hearing it again, brilliant from start to finish epic????????
I can’t let go of this song ❤️

spiritual soul ...
🙋♂️🏆👏❤🙏
I'm 31 and this is the music I grew up listening to. I loooooove this song. I mean this song was decades old when I first heard it as a kid so, now I really feel old listening to it lol. Rewinding the cassettes over and over to this, "Speed of Love", "Spirit", "In the Stone".... I could go on and on. I absolutely love this music!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man you are me right now. Each of those songs were more my focus growing up wow. Yep that white cassette played every night
"Undoubtedly One Awesome Track From The Best Album They Ever Made" Truly A Magnificent Choon From A Masterpiece Of An Album"
This is the fire in Earth, Wind, and Fire!
One of my favorite tunes ever by them . Never even hear the tributes bands tackle this one!
Crying all day long and listening to EWAF ........ what musical genius Maurice was, unbelievable ...... Comparing to other musicans at that time ....( there is no comparising, Maurice was on the top of the shelf)
+omi53 DON'T CRY.
LISTEN TO MAURICE SING
I NEED YOU.
Try comparing EWF to the nowaday garbage. What in the world happened to music? It's just a bunch of talentless creeps, who can't make songs without their little "autotune" software. EWF is gold compared those losers.
Very Very True Statement💙💙💙💙
I'm at work and I can't seem to let this go ,oh wow
Maurice journey in heaven.You touched my heart for all my life.Thank you for everything.God bless you.Whole world love you.EWF too🙏
やっぱり昭和54年5月って最高の季節でしたねえ。
I’m 24 and I love old underrated classics like this but all my people in my generation would clown on me for this shit but I don’t give a fuck this shit hits different.
This is one of the greatest songs of all time. This band should be more famous. They have some of the greatest songs I ever heard.
Mate... this band is THEE most famous band in music in general it's this song that is their most underrated of all time
More famous? What planet are you from. This is EWF you talking about. Any country in the world they are recognized.
@@hiltonturner9915 Yes, they are well known in music circles and by music lovers and they even got famous songs like September. I'm talking famous like The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Rolling Stones famous... That's how good they are. They should be be well known by every single person in the world. They get a list of great songs.
Oh my God,oh my EWF😊It’s very great,positive,uplifting,psychadelic song.My song 30 years.Thank you EWF,I love you forever🙏☀️⭐️sense and joy of my life-EWF🙏

Wow ! Got this back in 80 at that time this what we danced to in 🏫 school
What a mood lifting song..They are legends and their music will be enjoyed and learned for generations to come
Solid!
powerful...uplifting.....special......pure magic
Just found this and love it!
2024 still listening, everyday and loving the music more. A boomer who loves E W F. Oops! Just found out Im not a boomer, but a Generation Jones. 1954 - 1965. 🤣🤣☆🎶
Everyday
Always makes me smile.
Those horns are so damn tight and intricate. Listen to near the end of this song....MAN!!!!
Check them horns on Let Me Talk. The 'call and respond' starting around 2:50 was pure genius. Who would think to do that with instruments instead of voices?!
Literally the best part!!!!
2019 and still rockin!
It's funny when this first came out my father always told me and my brother to check out the horns as maurice says power
They're panned hard to the left towards the end of the song, absolutely brilliant! I heard the song for the first time only two days ago and have probably played it more than 100 times since and being a hobby music producer I do try to pick out little things like that.
Love the way the main vocals centred but the ad-libs are also panned hard left and right giving a nice wide feeling and also check the hi-hat panned to the right with a shaker panned to the left, when combined, they sound amazing (you may not be able to unhear them separately after so be warned lol). I think this song has come and stolen a position in my top 5 of all time songs ❤️
