Earth, Wind & Fire’s classic and popular songs

Let me introduce some songs by the American funk band Earth, Wind & Fire.

They are said to have pioneered R&B by blending funk, soul, and jazz with pop music.

In February 2016, the death of their vocalist Maurice White came as a shock to many fans.

They’ve been active since 1969, and we still hear their music in many different settings today.

They’ve gained great popularity not only in the United States but also in Japan.

Masato Nakamura of Dreams Come True is said to be a fan and has been musically influenced by them.

Now, please enjoy the songs of Earth, Wind & Fire, a band that has led the Black music scene.
