@@jss1ca3 we need more kendricks, but unfortunately the music industry (controlled by whites may I add) promotes gangsta rap for killing our own. Killing our brothers and mistreating our sisters.
Bought the 73 album and all the others. I am 72 now and have never stopped listening to EWF. Maurice was the glue and Bailey was the icing . Great band
They were raw at this stage of their journey. They became more polished later on which was cool too but the rawness in the music back then really appeals to me.
@@anthonytaylor7928 This is definitely rawer than their later performances--and, like the original poster, I say that as a huge compliment. I prefer the early, raw EW&F to the later disco-tinged group.
@@anthonytaylor7928Actually, this is fairly early on. If you notice, RALPH JOHNSON is the drummer here, so this before Fred White joined the group as the second and eventual primary drummer. This is probably 1973 or ‘74. “Evil” was the lead single from their second Columbia album “Head To The Sky.” They hit their strips when Fred White joined for “That’s the Way of the World.”
Wow! Unbelievable! Evil just think of what was coming to us......... "That's the way of the world" "Gratitude" "Spirit" "I Am" "Faces" and so much more!

"Little man?" Maybe it's the camera angle, but Nobody with EWF could be described as 'little man'. They were what I would describe as 'average size' for adult males.
