At Last...The Duets Album

At Last...The Duets Album／Kenny G (2004)



This is the duet album of saxophonist Kenny G who keeps on releasing many hits with  instrumental .

He performed many of famous pieces of music with many gorgeous artists in this album.

Earth，Wind & Fire participated in ”The Way You Move”originally recorded by Outcast.

Kenny and EWF changed this wild number to the sweet slow love song.

I suppose that you know well this song because it is collected to album (Illumination) of EWF as a bonus track.

It differs little when you compare both "The Way You Move" of the album of EWF and Kenny G.

Kenny's Version is 4.06 minutes while the total of the tune is 4.36 minutes in EWF Version.

The length of the tune is different for as many as 30 seconds.

Give It Check and Sing Like This

It starts with cool instruction at opening in Kenny's version, however, it starts after some measures in EWF version .

Numerical bar has been inserted in the head of the tune .

In the last parts of the song to fade, we can enjoy the voice of EWF longer ｉｎ.EWF Version .

If you want to listen to this "The Way You Move",the edit version,

Even if you are not EWF fan, this album is worthy to have.

Reggie Young and Gary Bias also participated as EWF Horns besides Maurice White and

Philip Bailey of Vocal.

Gary Bias of the saxophone firmly rivaled it to Kenny.G!

Live 2004 feat.Maurice White with Outkast &George Clinton

Wow! What a exciting video!
I found exciting piece of event at you tube.
Maurice White was in the performance.

When I last saw him at the stage in Japan,
although the motion was awkward under the influence of Parkinson's disease ,
he showed greatest presence .






After performing "Shining Star" in this event,
They attend "The Way You Move" with  Outkast and George Clinton together.

What a gorgeous scenery!

Sweet Sweetbach's Baadasssss Song

Sweet Sweetbach's Baadasssss Song  (1971)



The soundtrack album which they released after" Earth,Wind & Fire ".

The movie music of the same name which Melvin Van Peebles produced.
This film made a smashing success focusing on a black layer for independence distribution those days.
Though I haven't watched this yet.


It had been criticized severely to the press when a white man wrote an article.

It would be from the color of the work. There was big movement in music. I feel strong energy.

Because most of this music were written and sung by Mel Vin Brer Soul who produced this film,
It cannot be said that this soundtrack is of the Earth,Wind & Fire's work purely.
But their power of sound surely added more power to this story, I guess.

Music had a motion. also strong energy.



This was the 139th place (19 weeks chart in) where as initial work of EWF was the 172nd place in U.S. chart.

The member of EWF was the lover of Prisia ( former secretary of Mel Vin in those days)
（was it Maurice?）.

That was because EWF had a chance to participate to this sound track having been correct him and intellect through her.

But EWF does not seem to matter about this music that the third piece "Come On Feet".

It was recorded in" Aint Supposed To Die A Natural Death" which Mel Vin produced in 69.
It sounds to be the same take.

This item was published in Japan as a set of book with CD.

The precious record which explained the story of a movie, and its background with the photograph.

The dialog of the movie was also in featured by text both in original  and in Japanese translation.
