Shining Star: Braving the Elements of Earth, Wind and Fire

The music of Earth, Wind and Fire really never goes “out of style”, but with the passing of Maurice White, there is sure to be more interest in the band. As unmistakable as their distinctive instrumentation, so is the voice of lead singer Philip Bailey. Imagine not hearing his voice on the songs “I’ll write a Song for You” and “Reasons” Told with warmth and a bit of humor, this memoir not only chronicles Philip’s life and contribution to the band, but gives an excellent overview of the 1970’s r&b, and the conception and evolution of EWF.
