To be without Maurice White, the visionary, is a conspiracy. Al, Larry, Johnny, Fred, and Andrew are all apart of that legacy and their DNA is all over those historic songs and performances.

Not really. They were not in the band long enough to make a significant contribution. There have been many outstanding members over the last 49 years, but they cannot all be included.

The Classic Nine is the most accurate representation of Earth Wind and Fire. To portray the group otherwise would be a travesty.

The band that broke the mould. Embracing a range of styles, influences and genres to form a unique style. Never purely copied but influenced oh so many. From across the pond they were one of the bands in the 70s that drove the growth of UK soul and funk. Come on USA embrace a truly legendary group of people who are valued across the globe. Because That’s The Way Of Thr World.

This would be a travesty and a gross disrespect to the legacy of not only to the founder (Maurice White) and the group EWF but a disrespect to the millions of fans and also to the legacy of music in general!

The only EWF is the one with The Classic Nine. And don’t forget the Phenix Horns.

The Classic Nine, including Maurice White, the master mind behind this incredible music group, produced the music the world has come to love, not the current group, they are just carrying on the legacy of the CLASSIC NINE...the originals!!!

So glad EWF has continued to make awesome music but Maurice White IS EWF and it is sacrilege to disrespect him by omission.
