Philip Bailey offerｄ voice to several songs, because it's a chorus, not solo, it's slightly regrettable that his voice can't be confirmed clearly....

Airplay

Airplay　(1980）



Famous tune of Earth,Wind & Fire,"After The Love Is Gone" was original written for the solo album of Bill Champlin.

So the one Bill sung by a lead in joint live with EWF might be the one which could be called original sound.

This song is futured in the album of "Airplay"

David Foster, Jay Graydon, Tommy Funderburk
The unit by these gorgeous 3 people.

The arrangement is different subtly and also different in a melody for a short while, and... the introduction part is different from the EWF version at all in particular.

At a chorus part where Maurice White sung, David Foster took charge of part which was being done slightly humbly!

The voice of David Foster is gentle like a keyboard.

Now, big hit song of EWF!
It's called by the title as the "After The Love Is Gone" .

To be called this song After The Love Has... and called After The Love Is seems to be because the beginning was Is.

Now which has passed for 30 years, even if it's heard once more, I don't feel old at all.

By the way, the members who were existence necessary to albums of EWF participated.
