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.
