Earth, Wind & Fire The Best, Vol. 1 (LP Vinyl)

Maurice White built Earth, Wind & Fire into one of the most cosmically ambitious bands in American music, blending funk, soul, jazz, and Afrocentric spirituality into something that still sounds like nothing else. Released at the peak of their commercial and creative powers, this compilation captures the horn-driven, kaleidoscopic sound that packed arenas and earned the band multiple Grammys throughout the decade.

The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1 is a 1978 compilation album collecting the charting singles of Earth, Wind & Fire. In addition to collecting previously charting songs, the album also included three new tracks for the band: a cover of The Beatles’ song “Got to Get You Into My Life” and the original track “September”, both of which also became charting singles, the former also winning a Grammy Award, and “Love Music.” Love Music was sampled by Ghostface Killah on his track Good featured on his 2006 album More Fish. “September” has been sampled by Crystal Waters on her track “Say… If You Feel Alright” from her 1996 album Crystal Waters.
