?OK, so it?s disco sound, but it?s really good.?
Whoever says that today must have been pretty
lively on their feet in the 70s and 80s and in the
days of their youth they will definitely have
noticed that the commercial fusion music they
listened to on a Saturday night was buzzing with
energy and excitement. Earth, Wind & Fire
considered their amazing mix of Latin, Gospel,
Soul, Funk and dynamic horn section as being of
existential importance. This was the album that
would either make or break the band: either they
would establish themselves or they would sink into
oblivion like so many other rhythm and blues
acts.
The basic recipe ? finely chiselled Latin beat,
meaty bass grooves and sizzling funky
improvisations, spiced with the sound of exotic
instruments ? works perfectly. Furthermore,
crowned with a beautifully airy falsetto and
relaxed harmonious singing, the band created a
big-band sound that the magazine Rolling Stone
described as ?innovative yet popular, precise yet
sensual, calculated yet galvanizing?. Almost two
decades later, and with more than three million
albums sold in the USA alone, the editorial team
voted the LP into their list of the ?500 Greatest
Albums of All Time?. And about time too! At last
today?s ravers and rappers also get the
opportunity to experience the great rhythms to
which their daddies danced.
