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.
