I remember seeing them in concert for the first time. They put on an amazing show. Not just the music, which was awesome, but the pure showmanship. RIP

I'd argue earth.
emperor_dragoon t1_j2sbvtm wrote
I was thinking he was Wind. But also he was the drummer, so it could have been Fire.
LowDownSkankyDude t1_j2sccwd wrote
I was thinking, since rhythm was the foundation of their music, he and the bass player were earth, their horn section was wind, and Maurice spit hot fire as lead vocalist. I probably put too much thought into it tho. LoL

The way things are going for them, they will be down to just Fire pretty soon.

I've been twice in the last few years. What a memory.

I thought Maurice was supposed to be the grounded one of the group.

That's how I found out Prince died. Was grooving to the radio and was like "wow, four prince songs a row, nice!". Now anytime I hear a band played multiple times in a row I assume they died.

I saw EW&F back when they were promoting I AM. The most entertaining concert i ever attended. 20 people on stage, costumes, magic show all during the concert. And the music, ever song on that album is great. What a spectacle.

My stepsister used to play their tapes in my stepdad’s car, thinking she was annoying him. If she really was he would have popped it out. Only great music I ever remember being played in a parent’s car. RIP ☮️
