Our Review

Earth, Wind & Fire took its musical abilities and knowledge very seriously, which is why they had largely avoided the disco craze in the years leading up to 1979’s I Am. Longtime R&B musicians considered disco a watered-down pop fad, but ironically, what disco needed most was those very musicians. So, when EW&F finally caved in and discovered disco for themselves with I Am, the results were wondrous. “Boogie Wonderland” became a definitive disco song for the same reason that “Shining Star” had become a definitive funk song a few years earlier: even though the songs seem simple and catchy on the surface, they contain the DNA of a highly evolved musical consciousness. “In the Stone,” “Let Your Feelings Show” and “Rock That!” are disco songs but they are anything but watered-down. Maurice White and band bring the same level of commitment and expertise to these pieces that they brought to their most epic and complex orchestral works. The band’s heavenly touch is particularly evident on “After the Love Has Gone” and “You and I,” sublime ballads that slow down the pace so that the laymen can bask in the beauty of EW&F’s craft.

"I Am" is the last of the "classic" EWF albums of the 1970's (beginning with "Open Our Eyes") and it is terrific. It is also perhaps the most "pop" oriented recording by the group as several songs crossed over to Top 40 radio and were frequently used by other commercial media sources. Songs from "I Am" were used as bumper music for radio and TV sports programs. In fact, even today, 30 years a

Earth, Wind & Fire were one of the most musically accomplished, critically acclaimed, and commercially popular funk bands of the '70s. Conceived by drummer, bandleader, songwriter, kalimba player, and occasional vocalist Maurice White, EWF's all-encompassing musical vision used funk as its foundation, but also incorporated jazz, smooth soul, gospel, pop, rock & roll, psychedelia, blues, folk, African music, and, later on, disco. Lead singer Philip Bailey gave EWF an extra dimension with his...
