Earth Wind & Fire

Earth, Wind & Fire is an Ameican band formed in Chicago, Illinois.
==Overview==
Maurice White, the principal member of the band, was born December 19, 1941, in Memphis, TN. After graduating high school, Maurice moved to the Windy City to receive a musical education at the Chicago Conservatory Of Music. He drummed as a side job, leading to a steady spot as a studio percussionist with the legendary Chicago label, Chess Records. At Chess, he played with, alongside others, Ramsey Lewis, whose trio he joined in 1967, staying with the trio for 2 years.
In 1969, Maurice left the Ramsey Lewis Trio and joined two friends in Chicago, Wade Flemons and Don Whitehead, who called themselves the "Salty Peppers," and had a marginal hit in the Mid-western area called "La La Time." That band featured Maurice on vocals, percussion and Kalimba along with keyboardists/vocalists Wade Flemons and Don Whitehead.
After relocating to Los Angeles and signing a new contract with Warner Bros, Maurice changed the band's name to Earth, Wind & Fire. In addition to White, Flemons and Whitehead, Maurice recruited Michael Beal on guitar, Leslie Drayton, Chester Washington and Alex Thomas on horns, Sherry Scott on vocals, percussionist Phillard Williams and his younger brother Verdine on bass.
The band became known for such hits as "September" in 1978, "Let's Groove" in 1981, and "Boogie Wonderland" in 1979, becoming one of the most successful, best-selling, and innovative music acts of all-time.
The YouTube channel was created on March 1, 2006, uploading its first video on July 13, 2009, a video of a performance of "Shining Star", a 1975 original. Many of the videos, such as their most popular video (a performance of September) are unlisted, but can be found when the songs are searched for using YouTube's search functions or playlists.
