As the founder of the band Earth Wind &amp; Fire, he shrewdly assembled &#8220;the elements&#8221; that crafted a mold-shattering music machine.  <\/p>\n<p>  Now, 37 years after Earth Wind &amp; Fire&#8217;s 1970 debut, a stellar collection of contemporary soul disciples has created a tribute to Maurice White with ten of the groups most memorable pieces, performed by ten contemporary artists who owe the group a substantial measure of debt. This project is inaugural release for Concord&#8217;s newly reactivated Stax label.   <\/p>\n<p><b>Features:<\/b> <strong>Angie Stone<\/strong> who channels Aretha Franklin on her rendition of &#8220;Be Ever Wonderful,&#8221; <strong>Kirk Franklin<\/strong> (&#8220;September&#8221;), <strong>Chaka Khan<\/strong> who tears up &#8220;Shining Star,&#8221; the lovely and talented <strong>Ledisi<\/strong> who sings the heck out of &#8220;Devotion&#8221;.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>You also get The Randy Watson Experience featuring Bilal<\/strong> (&#8220;Can&#8217;t Hide Love&#8221;), <strong>Dwele<\/strong> (&#8220;That&#8217;s The Way of The World&#8221;), <strong>Lalah Hathaway<\/strong>, Musiq <strong>Soulchild<\/strong>, and<strong> Mint Condition<\/strong> and best of all <strong>Meshell Ndegeocello<\/strong> whose version of &#8220;Fantasy&#8221; is almost a match for the original.            <\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\"\/><cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"><\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\"\/><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/cfinclude><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Various Artists Interpretations: Celebrating The Music Of Earth, Wind &amp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4711\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
