History
Earth, Wind & Fire was founded in Chicago in 1969 by drummer and songwriter Maurice White, a former Chess Records session player and Ramsey Lewis Trio member. After an early group called The Salty Peppers stalled, White relocated to Los Angeles, brought in his bass-playing brother Verdine White, and renamed the project Earth, Wind & Fire after three of the four elements in his astrological birth chart (water was left out). The band's sound fused funk, soul, jazz, disco, pop, Latin and Afro-pop, driven by horn arrangements and tight vocal harmonies from co-lead singer Philip Bailey. Key members over the years included Ralph Johnson, Larry Dunn, Al McKay and Andrew Woolfolk. Albums such as "That's the Way of the World" (1975, its title track and "Shining Star" both hit No. 1), "Spirit" (1976) and "All 'n' All" (1977) made them one of the era's biggest acts, with worldwide sales topping 90 million records. They won six Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.
