So let me get this straight, are you saying EW&F wasn't funky?!?Y E SMr. Mint Condition got it wrong again.Earth Wind & Fire's first two albums had some raw, uncut Funk moments.The debut album Earth Wind & Fire had cuts like Fan the Fire.Their second album, The Need of Love, had some heavy, hard hittin' Funk, like Everything is Everything (which Phil Upchurch originally wrote for Donny Hathaway).While I wouldn't consider EW&F a Funk band, they definitely released some hard hittin' Funk tunes in their early years.-Reply #28 posted 08/04/09 2:27pm.
