Description:

Like a lot of second-wave funk bands, Earth, Wind & Fire were adept at balancing slickness and rawness. While their albums were occasionally spotty, the outfit achieved truly miraculous moments like the rocking "Shining Star" and the gloriously syncopated "September." (Come to think of it, the screaming guitar of the former was also nicely set off by its rhythmic flow.) In a have-you-never-been-mellow decade, their positivity seemed mostly realistic. With something like their powerhouse transformation of "Got to Get You into My Life"--pulling one of the great Beatles covers out of the awful Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie--they could make even the most churlish listener believe anything was possible. --Rickey Wright

5What's not to like?!  Nov 07, 2009

I don't purchase many CDs so I wanted the best of EW&F. That's what you get on this disk. Yeah!! :)

3Tastes have changed  Oct 12, 2008
I haven't enjoyed this as much as I did when I was younger. This band is still very talented, but perhaps not as ageless as I had hoped! I grew tired of the CD very quickly.

4SHINING STAR FOR YOU TO SEE  Oct 23, 2007
IF YOU GREW UP AND CAME OF AGE IN THE 1970'S LIKE I DID, A LOT OF THESE SONGS ARE JUST A PART OF THE SOUNDTRACK OF YOUR LIFE UP UNTIL NOW. I LOVED EWF THEN AND I STILL LOVE THEM NOW, THEY CROSSED A LOT OF BOUNDARIES, HAD SOME SMASH HITS, AND WHEN I SAW THEM OPEN UP FOR SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, THEY BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN. THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT HITS HERE ON THIS CD, YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF SINGING ALONG WITH A LOT OF THESE SONGS.

5A Gentler Time  Sep 08, 2007
Nice smooth sound for a great group of the 70's. Great cd to have if you are looking for this groups greatest hits. I think this cd will bring back fond memories of a slower less hectic decade.

4The "Hybrid Theory" of its day!  Jul 25, 2007
A great inclusion to what is mostly a Classic Rock collection. Like Blood, Sweat, and Tears before them and maybe Chicago, but jazzy soul. Underappreciated during the Disco years, this time-tested material still sounds GREAT! Of much greater interest than merely the Soul or Jazz audiencences, it's one fine album!
