And finally, the reason for the #EarthWindAndFireDay season: “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire (https://youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?si=19LzhsPTqeNgaOxx) from their 1978 “Best of..” compilation (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nYZYZZ3A6GQYEET8XDdJ05p91nrDDyQIs&si=2ky7f2I1M0676_rV)

Earth, Wind and Fire with “Fantasy” (https://youtu.be/6mV8ew_stNs?si=4B-4Q1XcOIi09jHJ), like “Serpentine Fire” it’s from 1977’s “All n’ All” (https://mastodon.social/@analgesicsleep/115227609660132721) Fun Fact: It was composed after Maurice White was inspired by “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”

It just wouldn’t be an #EarthWindAndFireDay playlist without The Godfather of Soul James Brown. Here’s “Soul Power” (https://youtu.be/4N-NrucQcB8?si=ZXm1qbRyVlht1ITs) live from the 3 day “Zaire ‘74” festival to promote “The Rumble in the Jungle” fight between Muhammad Ali & George Foreman. his full set can be seen here (https://youtu.be/XMXsZYoVsMA?si=XN_jysKZZOgpmJmo)

You can’t celebrate #EarthWindANdFireDay without The Queen of Funk Chaka Khan. Here she’s joined by the Metropol Orchestra of The Netherlands for a medley of some of her biggest hits in 2010 (https://youtu.be/RRhY8A-OAgc?si=5WRhIkxrX8E4eYJ-) Unfortunately, due to being an accidental victim of her own greatness Chaka Kahn kind of gets lost in the sea of her own legacy BUT in 2023 she was at least finally inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (https://youtu.be/TvLYZR6HXc8?si=q4n0o89yfOehUjDm)
#RetroView #ChakaKahn

Next we have some live concert footage of Earth Wind and Fire from the late 1970s (https://youtu.be/Scom4y-ND3M?si=QN1AHWjTXfTcZ1lm)- Get ready to (continue to) boogie!
