I know that having the original band members would be a excellent and memorable moment. They are the blueprint of Maurice White and the legacy of EWF

If you are going to do an Earth, Wind & Fire portrait you have to have the classic 9 especially Maurice White because he was Earth, Wind & Fire.

There would be no Earth Wind and Fire without Maurice White, so a picture without his image in the forefront would just not be right.

You are totally right. If their will be only 3 members in the painting instead of 9 that is pathetic-better of without it.

Please consider changing your display of EW&F and include the whole band ( The Classic 9 ) and also highlight Maurice White ( the founder ) in a outstanding manner as to reflect his greatness in putting this band together. Thank you... Dale Seals

Include every single member of EWF with the Phoenix horns. That's the way to do it.

Maurice White is the founder, creator of EWF. Please DO NOT leave out the creator of EWF that doesn't make any sense. I'm surprised you would consider doing this. Larry ,Andrew,Johnny, Fred and Al sho6also be included! Come on and do the right thing!

There is no way on God's green planet that a portrait excluding the creator, Maurice White, and the other original members (Al McKay, Fred White, Johnny Graham, Larry Dunn and Andrew Woolfork) should be remotely considered! The classic 9 should ALL be on the portrait! How could you even consider excluding the founder MAURICE WHITE??? THAT'S INSANITY!

Are you serious? EWF without the genius that was Maurice White ? And those group members who shared and participated in changing the face of popular music. 1975 line please. That concert in Liverpool changed my life
