I was a DJ back in the seventies in New Jersey. I held a mic cord and rapped well before it was put on wax. As a 15 year old, the VERY first record I ever bought was a 45rpm single of “that’s the way of the world “. It still hits the same for me. One of the greatest recordings of all time, by one of the greatest bands of all the time
Thank you, MAURICE WHITE for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent and for producing EWF to be the soundtrack behind our lives. Your legacy is sealed.
I wrote an email to Maurice years ago and thanked him for encouraging me through his music. I group up in a household that told me nothing but bad things about myself. So, I'd listen to EWF and got the encouragement I desperately needed and got me and my young son out of that house. My life has been just fine ever since.
I was introduced to E.W.F by my friend who played the keyboard back in 1979 I was a drummer I got hooked on this song the very first time I heard it I've been a fan until this very day 2022 . This the baddest band ever in my book! Mr.Maurice White had a very unique voice nobody and I mean nobody can duplicate his voice! Of course phillip had that high tenor voice like no other the two of them was made for each other with their different sound which complimented each other not to mention the baddest band ever! Those Phoenix horn section was a beast!! R.I.P maurice white. 🙏🙏
I had heard people refer to Earth Wind & Fire's album That's The Way of the World being the soundtrack from the movie of the same name. It's such a gift to watch this video of the opening scene.
Marty I actually like the movie. Its not really all about them but more about Harvey Keitel who was their producer. It’s was still pretty good to me. Yes every song was from the LP.
Not only did I see them multiple times, but I lived across the street from Verdine with saxophonist Benny Golson, and was able to attend several studio sessions in LA in the mid eighties. I also attended sold out concerts and was always backstage. Greatest R & B band in history!
I was on a bus in the Bronx on my way home from school the first time I heard Shining Star and have been EWF fan ever since nobody made music the way they did that's when bands ruled
Here yeah they would. Not gonna happen. Too much money and control is this BS hip hop. Which breaks our community down and not loving one another. Crazyyyyy.
Where Can The Entire Very Special version be Found?? If Anyone has information, PLEASE POST. ❤ RIP to the members of Earth,Wind and Fire who have transitioned. Would Love to See this in its Entirety.!!! Real Musicians, writing, composing, Playing Real Instruments and Killing It 🎵🎻🎺🎸🥁📯 ❤ RIP Charles Stepney ❤

Eu vi uma apresentação deles no Brasil em 1980: tinha 14 anos. Minha mãe, com muito sacrifício arrumou o dinheiro para o ingresso (nessa época ela comprava roupas para eu e meus trrês irmãos uma vez por ano, no Mappin, em 12X no carnê). E lá fui eu, ver um espetáculo que após 42 anos ainda é inesquecível!!!!! PS. o Verdine White solando o baixo no ar, perpendicular ao solo foi demais...
Marshall, yes it is. The movie is actually a low-budget film, but it was pretty damn good in my opinion. Check it out when you can and let me know what you think. The ending it the BOMBBBBB....... . It is not really about them, but their producer in the movie who is played by Harvey Keitel, and his partner who is played by Charles Stepney who was their real-life producer. Maurice was brilliant to release the album before the movie which saved to album. We all know what happened to the album. A MONSTER HITTTTTTT...... Here is a link to get the movie..................................... www.amazon.com/Thats-Way-World-Harvey-Keitel/dp/B07Q4RKHCZ/ref=sr_1_11?crid=CCK8N3Q4JPTA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yE-iFIKSMgbnJGeqoI3K9Mg0KIuoWza7o27U_lD-IBv6GWmj43PuNemf-s7Hmn77nKb1awVIoCVQxyiOt2H7MzGsT0oSkmBAzFnTrjs_c106epT318omgSmzLPEZxIGhyPmOlt6o78MtiDlfJxIfmWIjzKCEBeO74sZuJR_zyYsiQ8oNnGWuHXUA-ZVFORjlTz-zjAdiu8FmhkcvoXdRBM7ftjANAG_AXmwsj92fONY.0ooPotIjz9sxzqMpVlw9h3QNZ4HvuBNVZHPPdYya3KE&dib_tag=se&keywords=earth%2C+wind+%26+Fire+-+that%27s+the+way+of+the+world+movie&qid=1716135648&sprefix=earth%2C+wind+%26+fire+-+that%27s+the+way+of+the+world+movie%2Caps%2C74&sr=8-11
