Zitat des Tages von Maurice White:
We've been called the soundtrack of people's lives. There have been lots of downs, of course but mostly ups. That EW&F is still clicking at least twenty years on and has a life of its own, that the songs have stayed alive - we're like a good book that people go back to.
Most people can't see beauty and love. I see our music as medicine.
From my youngest days, I always felt certain affinities with the idea of being a preacher.
Earth, Wind & Fire was something new. I wanted to bring something innovative to the music. It was out of a desire to create excitement with music that was pleasurable to play and listen to.
With Parkinson's, you do need more rest.
Music is always a creative process that comes from the heart. It's a feeling, a vibration, that we ride on.
I think the '70s was a much healthier period for music because people were more innovative and creative.
I have learned that music helps a lot of people survive, and they want songs that can give them something - I guess you could call it hope.
