~ Last Days and Time
Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) is an American band that has spanned the musical genres of R&B, soul, funk, jazz, disco, pop, rock, Latin and African. They are one of the most successful bands of all time. Rolling Stone Magazine
described them as "innovative, precise yet sensual, calculated yet
galvanizing" and declared that the band "changed the sound of black
pop". The band was founded in Chicago by Maurice White (December 19, 1941 – February 4, 2016) in 1970.

As usual, I have favorite cuts from this album. At the top is the opener for the album, Time Is On Your Side. A driving syncopated and jazzy tune backed up with brass. It can be danced to sensually and vigorously or with slow, steamy determination. Very erotic!
My second favorite is, Mom. It has a quiet guitar intro. It is a gentle cha-cha with orchestral backing and some terrific piano by Larry Dunn. It has a very sensual and romantic instrumental break featuring Dunn.
