I used to play this loads when I was a dj back in '75. Always a dance floor filler and still sounds great today. Thanks for giving me some great memories :)

Surprised to hear EW&F on RP !!    But not a bad thing.   Variety is the spice o life.

An EWF member or two had a spinoff band in the late '70s called Caldera.

More on the Funk/Fusion side but fun stuff.

Saw these guys in concert after a recent Detroit-Tampa baseball game. They were a shadow of their former selves. Shame.

Oh yeah!  This is some kinda KOOOLLL Old School.  Great addition to the mill, thanks for giving it a twirl.

EWF is one of those really good memories from the '70's, unlike Foreigner (factually just awful — SF (scientific fact)), that guy from Jersey (sorry that's my opinion), Bob Seger and the other Motor City madman (IMO again).  The sad news is that my high school buds, at least the guys that is, couldn't stand any dance music and tended to the aforementioned meat-head music, but the gals sure liked it.  Needless to say, I figured that sitch out fast but had to get my dancing groove taken care of on the sly — a new spin on that good ole' paradox of cool vs. hot.

EWF and the Muppets, big difference. One was a group of cartoonishly dressed characters...

Easily the best funk band of all time.  Seen them several times and their performances are VERY energetic, especially Verdine!
