Amazon.com essential recording: It's the most complete single-disc collection of EWF chart rockers, and Greatest Hits' splendid remastering makes one of the major exponents of '70s funk positivity sound sparkling. From the driving 'Shining Star' to the syncopated mastery of 'September' and 'Boogie Wonderland' to the slow-jam heaven of 'After the Love Is Gone,' this is a reminder of what made the group so special. --Rickey Wright

Rating: - Avid Fan
I have loved Earth Wind & Fire from the very beginning. I love their creativity and the energy of their music. I purchased the album when it was orginally released. We listened to the album quite a lot back then. Since we no longer have a turntable, I wanted to have it in the CD version. This will enable us to extend the life of the album. This is definitely a collector's item and should be one of the all time best soul music albums.

Band leader Maurice White and main singer Phillip Bailey had a chemistry that was almost unbeatable, and top notch musicians brought the chops. White eventually hit a supple groove that was both funky and popular, and when the hits started coming, like "Shining Star" and "September," they helped make disco into a bit less of a dirty word.
They had another secret weapon in the EWF Horns. Punchy when they needed to be, smooth jazz when required, they often provided an 'x' factor in the band's best work. The band mixed these elements into a dynamite stage show that rivaled George Clinton's Mothership era for sheer audacity and showmanship. While there are no live tracks here, if you've ever seen the camp classic Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, you'll see a tiny fraction ... Read More
