+angela love ....... I don't think he thought that at all.... Maurice knew what he gave us. He knew he left a gift.....it was his desire to creat beautiful music. The results after that are on us. And when Stevie passes we will have his music to sustain us. The same as we have Maurice's gifts. Thanks for your thoughts. 🌹
Earth, Wind & Fire are one of the most influential funk groups to ever walk this earth and to see the man himself STEVIE WONDER pay his respect just brings tears to my eyes literally.
Yes Mats they could funk it up as good as it gets but they were everything else too. They were world music. After seeing them 5 times in their prime it brings a tear to see Maurice in the grip of parkinson's. Everybody read his book.
EWF & Stevie? Can one stage hold that much musical genius at once? God bless Maurice, Philip, Verdine,, Ralph and all the guys. Great to see Larry Dunn included. Only true EWF fans know how important his contribution to the group's success was.
I am a true EWF fan and I absolutely do understand Larry Dunn’s contribution to the group’s success. He was/is a talented powerhouse on the keyboards. Absolutely. 🎹 🎵 🎼 🎶

I'm just holding my tears while watching this video. seeing Mr. Morris White, I'm just sad that he died 4 years ago. I always playing and listened to their songs everyday as in everyday afternoon. I loved morris dancing while singing his voice is so relaxing. I just want to thank you earth, wind & fire for your songs that giving happiness to the people until this day. I will not stop playing your songs. Godbless you all. Rest in peace Mr. Morris.
Rest In Blessed Peace, Mr. Maurice White and thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all that you gave us. Much love and respect to a legend who's know joined that choir of angels that's getting all the richer. I expect one h-ll of a concert, when I'll join in!
Maurice and Charles Stepney,did incredible things on the production end.Also Maurice was really good friends with Booker T of the Mgs back when Maurice was a drummer. A friendship that lasted their entire lives.One of the all time greats.
Rest in peace Dear Maurice. A true trailblazer. Outstanding musician and singer. A visionary. Love you forever. You were such a big part of my young life with my husband.
I don't have the words right now to describe how I feel right now, but when I got the call at work today, that Maurice White has passed away, I cried, really hard ! I will have more to say throughout the weekend, Reese IS 1 of m heroes ! R.I.P. Maurice White .
I didn't know him personally but EW&F was a such a big part of my life growing up...especially playing a lot of their music in marching band...today is just a shocker and heart breaker
deezingo Same here, I've seen them in concert many times, & met them once, I grew up on their music . Malcom X, Maurice White, & Stevie Wonder always preached or spoke on self love, self pride, & inner happiness on black culture ! I know all the members of EW&F are heart broken, especially his 2 brothers, Verdine & Fred White . R.I.P. Maurice White .
I just read this post... I too cried but it really was for myself not for him for he is resting. It is us who suffer when we lose another. Blessing, comfort and light🌹
A Melendez 016 has been such a brutal year for a lot of our Icons, Ali, Bowie, Natalie Cole, Prince, & others . God help me, if I am still alive, when Stevie Wonder dies ! I will totally & forever fucked up !
parkinsons has that affect. i'm surprised he's gone this long & is not completely wheel chair bound...the great ones..Curtis Mayfield, eddie Kendrick, barry white, issac hayes, teddy pendegrass, joe simon, johnny taylor, tyrone davis, marvin gaye, sam cooke,otis redding, Jackie wilson,...all gone from the music world too soon...Maurice white & Curtis Mayfield were overflowing with love for music & humanity. be blessed Mr White... Al Green & Stevie...stick with us & keep making music.
Mr. Maurice White may have Parkinson's but maaan is he kickin its butt! He ~still~ looks good 'n as lively as he possibly can be. The power of positive music that stands for and means something!
Reese, thank you for the birth of your baby in 1969(EW&F)...without your 3 elements from this planet we fans would have never known the magic in your music...EW&F forever...
So lucky to have been there that night and to see such legends of soul up close. It was a Monster Beats party during the CES exhibition and I was an oh so lucky stowaway. Sometimes your luck is in.
Maurice :(( Your the most legend, Thank you for making EWF'S Musics,, Your musics gave me a lot of inspiration... Thank you for everything Mr, Maurice White...
Yes me too I was moved by Phillip's warmth. That's why Maurice said Phillip was his brother too. 💜 RIP Maurice. And I blow a ❤️ to your beautiful heart
I will always love my Maurice White, a legend. The vision of Earth Wind & Fire, but I notice he never gave any props to anyone else he just took all the credit to himself. After all birth Wind and Fire, yet under Maurice White's vision was an assembled cast, of great musicians vocalist, etc
Dear Maurice, I am so gratefull to you for your divine music and the happiness you were able to transmit. I grew with your music and it will be in my heart for ever. Thanks you so much. R.I.P. Grazie infine dall'ITALIA. R.I.P.
Seeing this great man - who has brought so much joy through his gift of music - breaks my heart. Parkinson's is no respector or person.It took my dad. Fight on Maurice. Don't let the ba$tard win. Make your beautiful music. You are loved.
Earth Wind & Fire is the greatest band ever, talk about a band that covered all topics and did it in such a spiritual and thought provoking way, kind of hard for me to watch the great spell binding Maurice White not having full and total control of any audience, that damn Parkinson's disease is a muthafukka ,If any members of this legendary band reads these posting I want to say thank you for all your contributions to the art of music and KUDOS to NEWSCRAFT for posting and sharing
he went to sleep and went home rip but like some one said he in a heavenly choir and what a great addition.... you were and important part of my life your music is inspiring and uplifting positive beautiful ....after the tears came joy because of you and your beautiful music.. you shall suffer no more..I love man forever in my heart
beautiful.... as much respect as I have for Phillips voice & verdines musicianship & being the heart of EW&F, I can't bring myself to see them in concert again without the soul of the group..the great Maurice White. I don't recall ever seeing someone love what they do so much & produce such articulate, meaningful, uplifting music...only Stevie & Curtis Mayfield equal him or come close in that regard.
So sad. Maurice looks like he’s not sure what’s going on😓. He’s missed, though he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame Stevie did that to me at a Prince concert months before Prince died. Little did I know😓
Uno y mil homenajes a un grande, toda una institución musical, enorme legado Tierra viento y fuego por siempre Mourice Watte Su música será para siempre
EWF ..... talented group of first class gentlemen ! Wow ! What a horn section . Maurice was an incredible spiritual talent ! God bless ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :)
😢😢😢😭😭😭😭. One of the most horrendous diseases. It took me a long time as a Professional. ( healthcare ) to maintain emotional composure around many a patient. Before they get to this stage. ( vulnerable confused frightened. They have a lot a fear). The body is doing as it wish’s. Atta king itself. The mind as well. Then the medication side effects are tremendous. . If you look closely. His right leg is jumping. They are covering it. But it’s jumping. The battle is real and that where the overwhelming hurt and joy for the strength they displays comes in. This was hard for me. My eyes would well up. But Tbat passed. ( novice ).
Beautiful , but I want to see the rest of it :( Love ya Maurice. Thank you for bringing love into my life at times I thought there was none. God Bless you sir. See you later
Rest in peace I have always been in love with you I'm still in love with you and you going to the Gloria heaven on what you know if you haven't today I die I'll 61 I was always loved you the rest of my
For all those out there "saddened" by Maurice White's condition, get a grip! The man was 70 years old on this vid so just hope that Parkinson's or no, you're in as good a shape when and if you make 70...
Tem coisas dificeis de aceitar ou entender, mesmo sabendo que faz parte do nosso crescimento, da ordem natural das coisas e principalmente, que as mesmas acontecem por acreditar que Deus em sua infinita bondade e Amor sabe o que é melhor para todos nós, por mais dificil que tudo pode ser. Enfim, demorei para me manifestar, pois, assim como a tristeza nos abate ao perdemos parentes ou entes queridos, nos calamos para refletir e orar, relembrar os bons momentos em que vivemos ou compartilhamos junto dos mesmos, chorei ! Maurice White, nunca foi meu familiar ou parente de sangue. Maurice White, foi para mim, muito mais que laços fisicos, sim..., foi e para sempre será, o encontro espiritual de almas afins, irmãs na grande familia espiritual e admirado e respeitado por mim, pelo laço mais poderoso que unifica todos os sentimentos e virtudes mais nobres, o Verdadeiro Amor, a fraternidade no mais alto grau de sua essencia. Estou sentindo muito pela sua partida, triste, mas tenho a certeza que sua missão no plano fisico, foi devidamente conduzida, realizada e eternecida pelo abrangente Amor universal com a qual Ele sempre se entregou. Meu coração, bateu em um ritmo diferente, forte, rápido, mas não com a alegria de suas canções e melodias, Maurice White, e sim com a tristeza de sua partida. MAURICE WHITE, tua partida do plano fisico, leva um pouco do meu egoísmo, de achar, que minha vontade de te-lo entre nós fisicamente estaria, acima do, Amor Divino da infinita bondade de Deus. Segue em Paz, meu irmão. Tua obra está eternizada em minha Alma e o Amor que sinto por Voce, me dá a certeza que Deus permitirá reencontra-lo. Maurice White, The Captain, Lider, Mentor, Mestre...my hero ! Love "Earth Wind & Fire" !
Maurice white, não tinha o direito de nós deixar, uma pessoa simples e alegre e muito especial para o mundo. Nós te amamos e te amaremos sempre, eu em particular. Há uma canção:" after ALL os fone". Essa música e muito bonita cantada por vc e toda sua banda, ela é uma canção de amor. Foi interpretada no Japão ao vivo. Inesquecível!. Mas o céu te receberá com aplausos! Tenha certeza disso. Maurice white, lenda!.Jorge Luiz brazil
I have no words to describe what you've done to me and my way of singing, Stevie and Maurice. You've changed too my way of thinking about "what is music". With you I've learned that one can make very good music even for dancing. God bless you all. (from a brazilian singer with, a not-so-good English, forever in debt with you)
