The Universe of Earth, Wind & Fire

The Universe of Earth, Wind & Fire

I finally got cd box set of EARTH,WIND & FIRE, The Columbia Masters
Earth,Wind & Fire CD box set was released last year, featuring 16 albums that raleased while EWF was in Columbia with bonus CD adds a bonus CD as the Columbia Mastersd.

Ofcause I have all of their original albums,
But I found that these are unrelesed songs in bonus CD,The Universe of Earth, Wind & Fire.

A booklet of 40 pages with comments of Maurice White were bundled in this CD set.

Bonus CD includes such metarials,
Live source , Instrumental Mix, Songs that Maurice participated in other artists and

An excited spot were 12th and 13th.
Unreleased 2 songs!
Both were written by Maurice White.

" Eyes Of Hope" is a rather short quiet futuristic instrumental music .
The melody is somewhat wonderful and sounds to be Maurice White.

"Insensitive" gives our tension up with up tempo rhythm & beautiful vocal harmony of Maurice White & Philip Bailey!
Why wouldn't it be recorded in that album "Touch The World"?

Ice Cream

Ice Cream / JS (2003)



JS stands for Johnson Sisters.
Unit of 2 sisters, Kandy and Kim.

As you know, Kimbery Johnson now join Earth, Wind & Fire as a back vocalist!

This album produced by R Kelly, was released in 2003 .

I'm afraid they didn't make a hit even with their cute looks and funky voices!
But I really like those songs because they were so cool with sweet lylics.

JS did join as back vocalists with many big stars like Michael Jackson, Sting, Christina Aguilera and Isley Brothers and others.

But it's regrettable that there were no chances that they attract attention at the center stage.

I hope to listen to her lead vocal in Earth,Wind & Fire.

I suppose every EWF fan knows that some female lead vocalists exicted in early days,
I think it's time to hail female singes!

Coz there are no Maurice White, Sheldon Reynolds, Robert Brookins in EWF now.
