Whenever You Are

★ Whenever You Are / DREAMS COME TRUE (1994)


WHEREVER YOU ARE


I was so surprised to see his face on TVCM of this song!
Maurice White joined Japanese Pop star band "Dreams Come True" Though a vocal of Miwa Yoshida was the center, the voices of Maurice sounded behind at the same time luxuriously.

When Maurice opens his mouth, The new world spreads out!
Two people of Dreams Come True are considerable EWF fans and are too enviable that Maurice sings their work.

Masato Nakamura of Dream Come True produced such an album .
"Dance With kalimba "- Dreams Come True, Masato Nakamura selection
This album is a collection of songs by EWF family.

A refreshing tone with a high-pitched tone of Philip and smooth sound of bass of Gerald remind you of a quiet impression.

The Answer

The Answer / Devoted Spirits (2007)




Devoted Spirits released the 2nd full album!
This group was forimed by 3 ex-members of Earth,Wind & Fire.
Sheldon Reynolds, Larry Dunn, Morris Plesure.

Though last album was full of cover of Earth,Wind &Fire,
this time,all of this album is original tune.
I really like the voice of Sheldon Reynolds!
The music is full of variations from an EWF-like thing to the thing which is not so.

I like songs such as "Questions"or"This Generation"

Yourself…Myself

This is the album which covered the diversity of the famous tune of Miyuki Nakajima with luxurious artists.




Maurice White covered "ashita"(meaning tomorrow)here.

I feel urbane for an image different from original music.

The arrangement iwas done by Bill Meyers!
Reminds of me famous tune "I Need You" of Maurice a little;
It fitted in so good condition!

You will be fascinated by a voice of Maurice White.

That's The Way Of The World

That's The Way Of The World (1975)

This is the movie which they did on the stage of a music industry of 1975.
EWF appears as Also Starring in this film.
《That's The Way Of The World is soundtrack of this movie》




Anyway, EWF is young! Though they appeared only in live broadcasting scene.
MauriceWhite sometimes appears and act his role!
Though it cannot be said that a performance as a actor is good ,by any means,he had a quite good presence.
Maurice White comes out to the name for the last credit properly.

Though" That's The Way Of The World""Reasons "" Shining Star" flowed behind scenery as BGM,
Vocalless version (Backing Tracks) was usully used.
I feit stress for me who like EWF much!
But the picture swells when "See The Light" and "Happy Feelin" flow in the background!

There is a sound privilege to this DVD.
When you choose this privilege sound at Audio Select , Verdine White and Ralph Johnson explain music like broadcast of the baseball with the progress of the movie.
I felt like appreciating this DVD in a house with members of EWF!
So fully listening to a voice (but is conversation) of Verdine White and Ralph Johnson only as for this DVD.
This is the picture that all the EWF fan was waitting .
