RIP Maurice White. Title track of the first LP I ever bought. Still an amazing record.

  1. As I noted in the post, the first LP I ever bought. Not too bad for a 7th grader. Genuinely talented musicians. Maurice was the drummer for the Ramsey Lewis Trio before forming Earth Wind and Fire. They seamlessly weaved funk, soul, r&b, world music, pop and rock into a a wonderful tapestry of sound. Never more so than on That's The Way of The World. I still listen to this record a lot, and it still sounds great.

    I met Phillip Bailey and Verdine White from EWF when they were in town a few years back--they stayed at my hotel. Couldn't have been more gracious. I let slip that I was a huge fan as a lad and still had 4 records from the mid-late 70's. I even threw in a "Yow". Thankfully, they laughed at that. I asked if Maurice was with them. They said he couldn't tour any more, but he was still a big part of the group. (Apparently Parkinson's had stricken him and he quit touring in the the early 2000's.) Rest in peace, Maurice.

  2. I also can't stress enough how cool 13 year old Bootsy (a white boy from Hicksville, MN) thought these cats from Chicago looked on the cover.

  3. If you got a spare 39 minutes you want to fill with some wonderful sound...

  4. Good stuff, man. The first cassette tape I ever bought was Alabama's Greatest Hits, so you've got that over me in spades.

    RIP.

  5. Nice write-up Bootsy. Sorry for you to have lost such an important musical influence. I can tell EWF really meant something to you.
