Yes he was magnificent and exceptional in the Way he honored and recognized the dedication, performance, respect, humbleness and gifts we all have received from such a Talented and Visionary Artist😊😅🎉🎉😂❤
I watch a documentary and Maurice brother Verdine White.was talking about the old days how the Jackson's would always come to their concerts and hang out with the band just learning about showmanship just having a good time kicking it with EWF !
At exactly 3min and 57sec Ms Jill Scott had an eargasm she was feelin it. Lol R.I.P. To Maurice White and The legendary Barry White and the great Gerald Levert.
The musical masters! Notice how everyone is on their feet! I saw them last year and they haven't missed a beat! Not a band on earth that can touch them even now!
I remember this like yesterday. Cause of Parkinson Reece's voice lacked his usual power but when when got to the last part of his verse "On down....Hey!" It was so full of power it set the audience off into dance... @10:55
Pay attention youngins from this auto-tuned, computerized, 1-hit wonder manufactured-era. This is the real deal here, all live instruments, REAL singing. RIP Maurice.
I will never ever get sick of listening to this band, it's a shame they always came out second best to The Commodores at the Grammy's, Well Deserved Award! Thank You for the music!!
Well, as of today (11/27/22) EWF has won 7 grammy’s and The Commodores only 1 ~ plus EWF taking home The Life Time Achievement Award. I enjoyed the Commodores but they simply dont compare to Earth a Wind & Fire.
This has always been my favorite band of all time! Heck! I feel like I'm an honorary member! I have all their music and still never get tired of listening to it. Nobody does it like EWF. They are the most talented band I have ever heard!
I am with you 100% James!! I grew up listening to them and my happiest memories are directly linked to their performances!!!! It would be an understatement to say they are all my idols
***** Need to be a College Course!-Dont persue a contract unless youve taken the EWF class!-Music Personified!-Someone mentioned the group Chicago, I feel the same about them!-Both are the ULTIMATES!-Cant get any better than them!
***** True! After all these years I didnt know the bassist(I think Vernon) was Maurice brother!; They both look good but totally opposite! but again-Good Taste!-Have A Blessed Day!
The "Beatles" of Black Music no question! For me the best Group ever with Chicago and Tower of Power Maurice White the Man! This music will last a 1000 years
I really appreciate and respect Larry Dunn for giving thanks to the late Charles Stepney & The Phoneix Horns. They deserve their recogniction and respect.
(Teary-Eyed) I just so appreciate the love and beauty that Earth Wind & Fire has consistently put out into this, sometimes, hateful world. I don't know what's gotten into me today, but I am just so grateful for my life and how I've always tried to live it. Earth, Wind & Fire Forever!
Author G D Grace my brother I can relate to what you just said I lost it I was crying like a baby so many good memories growing up listening to this band so brother you are not the only one lol.
The Way of the World . . . I cried when EWF sang this song (blessed to see them in concert last month) . . . . . the lyrics . . . I’m blessed & thankful to have seen them. 53 years strong they are ~ ♥️ 🎶 🔥
@@lpwalke64 As I've gotten older, I appreciate music like this even more. I've never stopped loving it. So much of the music nowadays is boisterous and angry. I shied away from mainstream music long ago, because I just got burned out on it. But EWF, and so many greats of eras past, their music has aged like fine wine.
If Steve ain't did nuthin' right his whole damn life, he did it right here...!!! THEEEE GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY TO STRAP ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS...! PERIOD....!!!!!!!!
stop complaining about steve's introduction to the greatest band of all time....if u pay close attention while he was doing his introduction u could hear them setting up behind him so apparently they needed the time to get themselves set up and together .... still and all i loved his introduction and he was 100 percent correct.....The Greatest Band of all TIME!!!! RIP Maurice we miss and we love you!!
I had the honor of seeing the great Earth, Wind & Fire in concert tonight in Cherokee at Harrah’s and OMG I’m still hyped from their performance. They still got it!!!!
I just love them, this brings me to happy tears, I've loved them since I first heard the All-n-All album in 1979 when I was 15, have loved them ever since, way over 30 years!
To the White family, particularly, Verdine & Fred White, but to all of the family & band mates, Phillip, Larry, Ralph, & all the others, you are grieving alone . Thank you Maurice White, for your teachings, spirit, & love, I love & miss you bruh! R.I.P. You will "Be Ever Wonderful " for as long as time exist .
+mrinnervisionz To you so beautifully spoken, this is what is in my heart, it could not have come out so eloquently as you have spoken thank you, so much for saying what is truly in my heart.
diane myers Yeah, Reese's death is very very big to me, there are only a few people in music that was on his level, as far as self love, inner beauty, love of OUR culture as well as one's own culture . God forbid if something happen to Stevie Wonder while I'm above ground, I will not be right for the rest of MY life ! People like Maurice White/Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson/The Jacksons, Aretha, Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole, Diana Ross , Rick James, Teena Marie, El DeBarge, Prince & Stevie Wonder & so many others might not be THE latest, but they are THE greatest ! We as consumers need to do our part in saving not only great music, but the legacy of ALL these great artist !
Ranasha Belser Yeah, The elements( Earth, Wind & Fire), taught us a lot about black love, black beauty, & black sel esteem & black power, just as Stevie Wonder has ! They & Stevie have taught us about Unity, love, Togetherness for all cultures & people . I know BET is going to do a nice tribute to Prince , but if they forget about Reese & Natalie Cole, I'm gonna be pissed !
New School get out yo pencils and take notes . . . this is how it's DONE! . . . and they don't ask anyone to bow to them, they bow to the One above - WOW!
This brought a big Ol'Koolaid smile watching this and remembering ALL STEVE SAID :) Sooooo true "Greatest Band Ever!!!" R. I. P aradise Mr. E, W & F White
I thank God for allowing us to see Mr.white in his last performance doing what he was sent here to do give us good real music the elements yall Earth Wind n Fire!!!!
Mo Mo Mo this past SUNDAY you got the GREATEST tribute for your work at the Kennedy Center , your vision is more alive today in 2019 than ever , simply Greatness and Joy to listening to EWF
Let it be said: Maurice White is not herald as the true vocalist he is. Love this guy to death. God bless u man. Also, has Verdine white Ever been on the cover of Bass Player magazine? Just sayin
LOl Steve Harvey!!! LOVE YOU!!! And don't mean to burst your bubble, but um, hubby is by far the BIGGEST....#1 FAN, of the amazing, Earth, Wind and Fire!!!!
I know all the songs, I know all the tunes on the first note. I am such a huge fan, but I bow to Steve Harvey lmao. He is truly the biggest fan of all time.
![Earth, Wind & Fire 2003 Summer Concert [September & Boogie Wonderland]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/M5CLKEEYxlo/mqdefault.jpg)

It warmed my heart to see Maurice come out!!❤️
When Maurice came out...OMG...BLESS HIM!!!!!
The baddest band on the planet! Big up to Steve for bringing them out righteous!
I watch a documentary and Maurice brother Verdine White.was talking about the old days how the Jackson's would always come to their concerts and hang out with the band just learning about showmanship just having a good time kicking it with EWF !
There has never been a group more deservant of this Life Time Achievement Award . RIH Mr. Maurice White - You never failed to touch our hearts .

Other worldly voice! Anointed!
Verdine the ball of energy
OOOOOOOOCHILE😋 WHAT U SAYYYYY 🤪🤪🤪🤪❤❤❤💯
GOD given talent. When he hit those high notes, it sent chills down my back. Just outstanding.
At 8:42, I lost it.
What can I say, but AMAZING. Especially when Philip Bailey hit those high notes. It just sent chills down my spine.
Earth, Wind and Fire rocked back in the 70's and are still rocking strong ... the Lifetime Achievement award is well deserved !!!
Suzanne Ramirez and the 1980s

OMG no wonder everyone was on their feet - that was fantastic! Truly showing everyone why they are deserving the award.

That Was Awesome When Maurice White Came Out...RIH...Love You For Creating One Of The Best Bands In The World!!!
Now that's how you introduce a band...and what a band!
Back when A-Listers came to the BET Awards!
At exactly 3min and 57sec Ms Jill Scott had an eargasm she was feelin it. Lol R.I.P. To Maurice White and The legendary Barry White and the great Gerald Levert.
The musical masters! Notice how everyone is on their feet! I saw them last year and they haven't missed a beat! Not a band on earth that can touch them even now!
Maurice enterance and singing made it complete for me, he 1s the voice of EWF to me!
I remember this like yesterday. Cause of Parkinson Reece's voice lacked his usual power but when when got to the last part of his verse "On down....Hey!" It was so full of power it set the audience off into dance... @10:55
I've been looking everywhere for this particular performance! Thank you so much. Philip Bailey KILLED it, as usual!
Pay attention youngins from this auto-tuned, computerized, 1-hit wonder manufactured-era. This is the real deal here, all live instruments, REAL singing. RIP Maurice.
Well said sir !
BOOM7STAR7 Exactly
I saw them in the early seventies in Detroit live. Phil was right tin front of me singing his head off. Unforgettable.
Exactly!!!!!!
No argument from me

Well, as of today (11/27/22) EWF has won 7 grammy’s and The Commodores only 1 ~ plus EWF taking home The Life Time Achievement Award. I enjoyed the Commodores but they simply dont compare to Earth a Wind & Fire.
I think EWF should do the Superbowl halftime show, be a whole lot better than everyone else they have had recently!
Yes, because the wannabes so called self titled musicians they have performing today do not rise to the occasion 🎉😂❤
Next year, they should ban Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson.
I am 24yrs old , thanks to my dad ...these oldies but goodies are my jamz ..... I get feelings off old school music songs frfr
The boys still got it. Reasons, Let's Groove tonite.
Rip Mr. White. Preach Steve:). One of the greatest bands ever.
