About
Offering up 35 tracks of groundbreaking funk, <i>The Essential Earth, Wind & Fire</i> lives up to its title, delivering the band's biggest hits, alongside crucial album tracks from the ’70s and ’80s that capture their range and depth. From the uplifting spirit, shining brass, and falsetto harmonies of "September," through the deep, soulful groove of "Kalimba Story," to gorgeously lush, jazzy Philip Bailey showcases like "You," this collection is ideal for new fans who want to explore beyond their biggest hits.
