 Earth,Wind & Fire Japanese Singles Collection (2020)  


The artist's single songs vary from country to country. 
 Earth, Wind & Fire is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. 
Collection set of single songs released in Japan has been released. 
2 CDs and 1DVD. 
Two thick booklets are included, one of which is a lineup of single jackets from Japan. 
The design of the early days makes us feel the times. 
Notably, the full version of Brazilian Rhyme was recorded on CD for the first time. 

And the promotion video of 4 songs were recorded on the DVD for the first time. First, "Brazilian Rhyme". 
I'm grateful for the longer playing time because it always makes me want to listen more. 
When I listen to EWF's hit songs with the passage of time after a long time ... 
Once again, I am amazed at the high degree of perfection. 
The arrangements and choruses are all meticulously assembled in every detail. 

Further DVD. "Wanna Be The Man" I watched this for the first time. 
* It's not a cool finish, but ... 
 It's been a while since I saw Maurice White's "I Need You" video and felt it. 
I didn't think when I first saw it ... 
There were multiple beautiful women in this video. 
However, when the lyrics are superimposed ... 
It seems that the main character is reaching out to multiple women ... 
Shouldn't it be better to narrow down the heroine to one person? 

 Anyway, I think it's a must-have collection for fans.

Glastonbury Festival

Glastonbury Festival (2016)


The Glastonbury Festival is a large-scale outdoor music festival that has been held in Pilton, England since 1970.
A live performance featuring Earth, Wind & Fire in 2016 is on sale on DVD.

The performance with a new arrangement added to the standard masterpiece is wonderful!
Other famous songs are inserted in the middle of the song ...
The vocals of B David Whitworth and Philip Bailey Jr. are featured in many of these works ...
You can feel the new wave of EWF.
In addition, Ralph Johnson's solo (Got To Get You In My Life), which I haven't heard much until now, is a great performance for fans.

It Is Love

It Is Love  / Sheldon Reynolds The Familey (2017)
















 




Sheldon Reynolds was previously a vocalist and drummer for Earth, Wind & Fire. I really like his voice and I love his songs without exception! 
 I was really shocked when I learned that he had left EWF. 
 And also I feel sorry when I knew that he has the same Parkinson's disease as Maurice White. 
The release of this work while being deprived of physical freedom little by little. Unlike Maurice when he disappeared from the live, as long as he listens to the album, he is full of power and love. 
I sincerely hope that medicine will evolve and that the activities of this genius musician will not be taken away in the future. 

 While playing an active part on his own, he also really likes "Devoted Spirits", which he teamed up with Larry Dunn and Morris Plesure

Two of them also participated in the eighth song of this album, Interlude. 
EWF Horns also participated in EWF's masterpiece "Sing A Song"! 

The voice of his wife Marilyn Reynolds, who is featured this time, is also really wonderful! Touch Me placed at the end of the album seems to be listening to standard masterpieces. 
Everything is a masterpiece, just like an EWF album. 

This time, like Sheldon Reynolds The Familey, this is a superb album created with his family around him. 
It was released in advance in Japan ... 
It's a pity that it doesn't seem to be sold very widely. 
I'm looking forward to his next album.
