Biography

Earth, Wind & Fire were a 70's funk band from Chicago, best known for their disco floor-fillers “September” and “Boogie Wonderland”.

Earth, Wind & Fire were led by drummer and songwriter Maurice White. Working as a collective around his central control, they released several albums of tight horn-led funk in the early 70s with limited commercial success. Their big breakthrough came in 1975 when they… Read more in Amazon's Earth, Wind & Fire Store

3.0 out of 5 stars Unfulfilled Potential, July 30, 2004
By Marco (Australia) - See all my reviews
I have been an EWF fan from way back & remember thinking as a teenager "I AM" was the best album I had ever heard (at least up until then!). I have re-visited this album as I taped it from a friend back in the 90s & have been listening to it in the car. The songs are an improvement from post "I AM" albums setting up a great grove in your head to sing along to. What spoils it is the production with over emphasis on drum machines, keyboards & was that MC Hammer! It would be great for EWF to re-record the album in 'true' EWF style, real percussion, real horns, 'proper' vocals etc. If you are an EWF fan its probably worth a purchase second hand - at least to have in the car!

2.0 out of 5 stars Yawn City!!, October 20, 2003
"Heritage" contains three excellent songs-the ultra-funky
"Takin' Chances","King Of Groove" and "Motor".But unless ultra-
processed,cereal aisle-like drum machines and silly rap guests
cluttering the album is your idea of soul STEER CLEAR.The bands
1987 release "Touch The World" and..oh well even 1983's commercialy disastorous "Electric Universe" are far more artistically successful then this.Highly dissappointing.

3.0 out of 5 stars HIT AND MISS, March 16, 2000
By Tony_Tone "Anthony Jamal Smith" (Washington, D.C., District of Columbia United States) - See all my reviews
E.W.F going for more contemporary street sound on this effort which is cool for the younger crowd but for people that have grown up on this group .. this album is a dissappointment at best.. The problem here a lot of songs just lacking they dont have that same E.W.F feel to them as their earlier work.. What else that has been missing out their later work is the sprituality message that played a vital part in their earlier material

But this album does have some pretty nice moments

Coming on these tracks

Daydreamin

I'm In Love

King of Groove

Anything You want

but the rest of the disc is a pretty weak attempt at trying to watch the younger listeners ..

This album made me become a fan of EWF, because my father had the album when it came out. MC Hammer was kinda of wack, but the rest of the songs were tight. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed the CD, and I think any loyal EWF fan will also.
