Earth Wind Fire Tickets Information

Earth Wind Fire
Led by Maurice White, Earth, Wind & Fire is an African-American soul band that was formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1969. They have had many hits such as "Shining Star", "That's the Way of the World", "Fantasy", "September", "Let's Groove", and "Boogie Wonderland" and hence achieved worldwide success in the 1970s.

Starting Off
The founder and anchor of the band, Maurice White, was born in Memphis, but later moved to Chicago. He joined the Ramsey Lewis Trio as a drummer, however, soon left them to join two friends, Wade Flemons and Don Whitehead, as a songwriting team which wrote songs and commercials in the Chicago area.

The three friends got a recording contract with Capitol, and called themselves the "Salty Peppers", and had a marginal hit in the Midwestern area called 'La La Time'. Maurice again required a change of location, hence headed out West, and changed the name of the band to Earth, Wind & Fire. This was based on the fact that White's astrological sign being Sagittarius had a primary elemental quality of Fire, but also had seasonal qualities, which are Earth, and Air, hence, the omission of water.

ALBUMS
Their self-titled debut album, Earth, Wind & Fire, was released in 1970 to great critical acclaim, as was The Need of Love (1971). A single, from this album "I Think About Lovin' You" provided EWF with their first Top 40 R&B hit. The band dissolved after less than six months of working together. In the spring of 1972, EWF headed to the studio to record Last Days And Time, their CBS debut.

The album Head to the Sky was released in 1973 and it yielded the group's first two legitimate hit singles: "Evil," co-written by Maurice and Philip; and the title track, "Keep Your Head To The Sky," both top 30 R&B and top 60 pop charts. In 1974's the album Open Our Eyes was released which was the group's first platinum album, a major hit. Jessica Cleaves, a former member of the Friends of Distinction, left after the "Head to the Sky" album.

Breakthrough finally!
Earth, Wind & Fire's true breakthrough came in the form of the soundtrack to That's the Way of the World in 1975. That's The Way Of The World starred Earth Wind & Fire as "The Group," a new recording act. Many of the early hits came from long years of touring and soundchecks, and improvisation.

EWF's June '75 sessions produced "Sing A Song" and "Can't Hide Love" which were some of their biggest hits. These songs helped take "Gratitude", which was a double set LP comprised mostly of live concert material from the "That's the Way Of The World" tour, to a double-platinum status, an unheralded occurrence for any black group of the day.
