"December" Earth, Wind & Fire Feat. Tyler Ward

This song is in "Holiday"Album , The first Christmas album that Earth, Wind & Fire released in 2015.

I got disappointed when I first listened to this song.
I expected new song besed on "September", but only difference between 2 was just a word.
September to December.

Moreover September is the great song ,so we can feel so nice when listening.
Though how many times I experienced this groove, it takes to fancu world.

I found a gorgeous "December" performance video on YouTube."December (September)" Earth, Wind & Fire (Feat Tyler Ward.) - LIVEEWF played this song with Tyler Ward now popurar artist with sweet voice.




Nice to see to have fun.

Let's Groove Live 2015

I found the video which Earth, Wind & Fire performed their hit tune "Let's Groove"
at the tour with Chicago this year.

How many times I have listened to this song.
Although this song don't   loose gits groove and shine.

Members changed some arrange and also add ad-libs,
These are the other reasons ,that song don't fade the charm,anyway.

In this video, Philip Doron Bailey ,the son of Philp Bailey , lead the main vocal .
Without discomfort, he stood in the center of the band,

It  predicted me the beginning of a band's new wave.

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.
