CD Description
The vocals, drumming, and production of Maurice White. The soaring falsetto of Philip Bailey. The fat, thumping basslines of Verdine White. That fantastic, piercing brass. All these ingredients combine to make Earth, Wind & Fire one of thepremier R&B/jazz/funk bands of the 20th century and beyond.Compilation producer Leo Sacks has expertly remastered THE BEST OF to superior sonic quality and added two bonus tracksto boot.
"Got to Get You Into My Life" is a jazzy, soulfully swingin' take on the Lennon/McCartney composition. "Fantasy", perhaps the band's finest moment, combines stylistic percussion with inspiring harmonies. "Can't Hide Love" is finely crafted R&B sharpened to a glistening point by a tight horn section. "Love Music" is an uplifting groove that sounds brand new decades later. "Reasons" is a perfect R&B ballad, and Philip Bailey explains in the liner notes that though it's become a wedding song, it's really about a one-night stand. The explosive, funky "Shining Star" exudes spirituality. A bonus "Megamix 2000" (and edit) are included and combinevarious tunes into a club mix. THE BEST OF is a great overview of these Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.

Customer Reviews

Perfect funk; infectious and superbly crafted music
There's no way you haven't heard of Earth Wind & Fire, but you might only know their floor-fillers such as Let's Groove and Boogie Wonderland (with The Emotions). However, if the admittedly cheesy image of this talented group doesn't put you off, you will be rewarded with exquisite funk and tunes you'll be humming for days.
