Shining Star ~Braving the Elements of EARTH, WIND & FIRE~

SHINING STAR  ~Braving the Elements of EARTH, WIND & FIRE~/ Philip Bailey (Book)



I didn't know that Verdine White was not a good driver.

It was like an adventure film that hero met gradually his powerful friends and
achieves their purpose together.
So exciting especially because Characters in this book were real
and all of them were the super stars everybody who loves EWF knows.

Members of Earth,Wind & Fire and many stars around them.

This book that Philip Bailey  wrote was the record of the great history of EWF,and also of himself.

Every topics was so interesting .
I felt so happy to know these stories behind their success.

This long story began at the age when Philip's childhood.
Many episodes were talked both of group and his private life.
Philip Bailey even dared to confess his scandal love affair.

Like his heartbreak about his ex- married wife.

Gradually great members gathered at Maurice White.
It was so exciting to see their names with unknown episode.

Why did Al McKay left the band.
What happened when Earth,Wind & Fire was not in move?
How do they feel when they saw the movie,"That's The Way Of The World"?
Which album jacket they don't like?
How did they think  when they knew Maurice's sick?


Rumors of EWF were clarified.

All the traditions are clarified.

There were many emotions above many complications, and a band regained harmony and begian to shine again.

This book also reminds me of holiness of this band that they always send message to people.
With holy and bright concept with the hope of peace.
I thought that was one of main reason that so many people love EWF forever.


When I was reading this sentences , great music of EWF were  always echoed in my brain.

Her friends got fight in order to save her.

Story moved with many gorgeous music backside performed by EWF, Cheap Trik,
