La La Time: The Roots of Earth, Wind & Fire

La La Time: The Roots of Earth, Wind & Fire　/ The Salty Peppers　（1969）

I was so excited to get this album.

The Salty Peppers is the roots of EWF that 

Maurice White formed during his activities of Ramsey Lewis Trio.

The band featured 3,

Don Whitehead / Bass, Keyboard

Wade Flemons / Vocal

Maurice White / Drum

The original members of Earth,Wind & Fire

when they released their first album as EWF.

First single "La La Time"it made peop;e to know them .

Next, They released 2nd single "Uh Huh Yeah"

Having taken in style with singing  like YEAH or LALA ,mainly rather than meaningful words.

I felt like it roots of later Earth,Wind & Fire sound.

Although it is the album released about 45 years ago, I don't feel these sound old.

Is it because I am a big fan? 

I accept overflowing power and a message from those songs.

I realized the interesting fact when I first listen to this album about one song.

"Your Love Is Life"

This song is featured in this album.

That means this song was recorded 3 times at their original album.

It was published firstly at this album as The Salty Peppers.

2nd time ,Earth,Wind & Fire performed at this first album.

3rd time ,this song was played with new members at "In The Name Of Love"

I suppose that this song has something special meaning for Maurice White.

Ebony Moments With Maurice White

Ebony Moments With Maurice White　（1986）

I misunderstood that this single was a song feat.Maurice White.

But it was in Genre of  Spoken Word .
He talked about his solo album and Earth,Wind & Fire.

With the song from "Maurice White" background.

Even if it was not the performance.
I love to listen to Maurice's voice.

And it was so fascinating.
