Earth, Wind & Fire - Reasons

[dephaan]

Did he just....match the saxophone for 2 minutes straight? WHY WAS I BORN SO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[daltyree]

99 dislikes, those are some hearing impaired youngins.

[daltyree]

Amazing! This is real music. Taking me way baaaaack! This was one of my first albums my parents bought me for Christmas way back in the 70's. Yes, remember slow dancing at a house party. No drugs & drinking just good music and a slow dance all through the night.

[MsAlone4now]

The reason I'm here is to relive those wonderful younger years, when we were still relatively innocent, slow dancing and falling in love for the 1st time.

[iolanik]

I see there were 94 speed metal fans who found this page! LMAO

[djohnny01]

btw I do agree that "good music transcends all racial boundaries and should be recognized and appreciated by all"

[crackpatty4dacheap]

@thegreatone8675 thank you because some people don't know how to keep their negative comments to themselves!!

[cptrace]

2:19 WOWEEEEE  ! :0)

[soucaralegal]

Ja falei no ouvido de muitas meninas ouvindo essa musica

[kidcudi51591]

This is it .... I love you baby A.L.A

[djohnny01]

98 skinheads=angry white men== Unhappy and Angry

[thegreatone8675]

@djohnny01 Hey, hey, hey man! How about u chill with the racist remarks, ok? I'm white and my wife and I absolutely love EWF, alright? Good music transcends all racial boundaries and should be recognized and appreciated by all! I didn't know that the dislike bar also indicated what race a person is. For u to assume that all 98 dislikes are from "angry white men", is a blatant racist remark! How about u just chill with the racist comments and just enjoy good music from an amazing band?

[djohnny01]

@thegreatone8675 I was just joking, but ok if you really wanna take it like that, be my guest. That is not a "blatant racist remark" since I did not say "all white people are angry white man" and if you want to know the truth without no racial bias I can say that out of the 98 probably a majority is white and born from the early 80's on. I can also say that black unemployment rate is at 16% at this moment, and that is also not a "blatant racist remark." Just statistics, my friend. Enjoy.

[roselock11]

COOL



[ChocolateIce60]

A charge to keep I have

[pdepass323]

classic



[PauletteBoston]

OMG I soooo love this song! EW&F is my alltime favorite group...I used to slow dance with my man to this...soooo sexy!

[diamondgirl1554]

classic and one of my all time faves!

[btoball2]

fuck all of them 97 haters.....they dont know good music.



[GuyThatUSaw]

My History teacher is going to give me plus 5 points on the next test if I come in and sing this during class. Go figure.

[gwloganpoet]

Nomatter how much time has pass, this will always be a great song

[c0cin3lly]

at big song

[goddydee2]

The great ole days when music represented something completely different from what we hear today. Philip Bailey who performed the original surely did a number with this song and I can clealy remeber how the young men of the time would scramble to find a female for the slow dance when this song was played at parties, matinee, jam sessions etc. This tune brings back pleasant momories when life was less complicated and all the world appeared as bliss.

[tryn2luv1]

This song goes back to my Baby Making Days..

[mrdigdaddy69]

one of my all time favorite.A man should say this to his wife.

[potawatomi2112]

Why?? Is no one creating this type of music anymore??? We need it o so badly!!!.

[firestonedonnaq]

@pj23nl  MY GOOSEBUMPS ARE FEELIN' YA'

[Kemetic1]

Don Myrick, another Chicago native(God rest his soul) blowing away souls in this rendition. My uncle was one of his original music teachers. What a blessing to be apart of such a historical group. I saw them in concert(40 year anniversary) in September and they truly have not lost a step. Minus the great Maurice White but great just the same. Greatest concert I have EVER been too. Sang every song. Thanks big sis for sharing your music with me.

[WillowTreePeace]

I always think about Hitch when I hear this song. Haha love it <3

[DoubleTapLasVegas]

Would someone please tell me who laid it down like this????

[The123Tyee]

i used to sing this song, then i took an arrow to the knee

[kellencheney]

Everytime Earth Wind and Fire came out with an album, there was a small baby boom 9 months later

[ravenruger]

this shit is to real god bless them

[misatokatsuragi130]

That note at 2:18 just made me holla...sang boy...lol...I can't believe that there are 94 dislikes, Whatever (ya'll are some damn fools) that's all I can say. You'll be alright.Nothing better than EWF.

[davidletterman47]

@misatokatsuragi130 94 Taliban, 94 people without a life, 94 people who don't even like their mom, 94 people that don't know their mom?

[soulsista1220]

@misatokatsuragi130 Young'uns don' t understand this REAL music

[yellowrose231958]

@misatokatsuragi130 OMG!!! I hear you! Suddenly needed to hear Philip Baileys voice....Sigh....

[detroitos]

So I guess one night stands can sometimes turn into something REAL.

[RosieH1967]

My son hears this on his phone when I call him. He knows I'm old school.

[Dcnig2011]

[ladibre]

[bethanysue60]

Play this everyday my piano that I grew up with. Love this song so much and just love EWF. Noone will ever take their place. One of a kind. One song after another. Will play this at the next audition level if I make it. God bless and Happy Holidays to all. Thanks for the support! Thanks for sending this video. :)

[MrRajabelle]

the voice

[COCODIVA777]

Amazing vocal skill!!!

[ronin0726]

the best part of this video is from 00:00 to 5:44! : - )

[ILoveCurves88]

@ Choclongleggz About 5 minutes into the show, Maurice asked, Can someone please lower the AC? It's messing up my voice. All the people in the audience started looking at each other dumbfounded N we were like, IT IS?? Believe it or not, he sounded BETTER on stage than on his albums, N I didn't think his singing could GET better than in the studio!!! I wouldn't have believed it had I not been there

[ILoveCurves88]

@ Choclongleggz Yeah, they ARE in their own class! I actually was lucky enough to see them when Maurice White had come out of retirement for part of a tour, N after the show, I got to speak to him, Philip Bailey N 1 of the horn players. They were SOOOOOO UNBELIEVABLY HUMBLE!!!!!! I told them each, thanks for a great show N a LIFETIME of hapiness N Memories, N they were all like, Man, we don't deserve that. We're just up here doing our thing. I said, Yes, you do!

[TiggerVegas]

Whar a feaking performance by Phillip Bailey !

[catdaddy539]

Hepitefire...Some people just dont like live versions of sons...I have friend like that... me the real talent comes out in live shows ...

[tybeebeachbunny]

hey, do you guys remember on showtime @ the apollo when some white dude sang the reasons? he blew that thing out the park!

[optimalkaren]

Beautiful song!! I love EWF!!!!

[ThePunkin1217]

i love them also...

[8008joao]

que saudades,muito linda

[humbertowcf]

THE BEST BAND EVER!!!

One song better than the other. I fell in love with them since I was a young kid in the 80´s . Been to several concerts in many places and once I shook hands with Philip Bailey , at the Blue Note, in New York. He was performing to a small audience there. I passed in front of the place, stopped to read the signs - and just could not believe he was there, so close, right then. I went inside and watched him perfom. Humberto Silva- Brazil.

[bethanysue60]

Just tried out for Americas Got Talent and if I make it to the next level this is what I will play! Love it so much! Love playing it as well! Timeless!!! :)

[ThePunkin1217]

good luck

[litatp04]

all the reason why we are alive i love this song down to earth my man brings back to many memeries

[TheLindajeanmills]

way before Mariah Carey LOL

[javiersax]

I want to know what was the Don Myrick's Setup, I mean, What alto sax, what mouthpiece. thanks

[Jesus1229]

Did you know that this is actually a break up song... more like a song of a man trying to find the reasons why he loves his woman where there isnt any except for the physical.

[TheCrunkful]

today's artist's have no soul like artist's of old, i'm so glad we still have them to turn to to guide us back to how music is suppose to be, about the love of music not the love of money

[KDhueW19]

I grew up listening to songs like this

[badboogerfinger]

this is one of the greatest bands ever.

[alexanderia8182]

This is and always will be one of my favorite songs by them. I especially love this live version of the song. Love the parts where he hits the high notes

[patrickisready]

93 people doesn't understand the reasons, lol.

[reisnicki]

When EWF played with Chicago in West Palm Beach Fla i think they stole the show, Im a big Chicago ,fan but EWF did it for me that night

[MultiAce2010]

how ppl dislike o.0 weird

[fungirlslim]

think was 82.saw this tour at birmingham n.e.c.best live concert ive seen in 40 years of following soul music

[ruthandmike]

@fungirlslim Hey... I was at that very same concert - March 12th 1982 Birmingham NEC and I couldn't agree more - the best live concert I've ever seen - that's how I remember the date it's etched into my memory :-) Best wished to you and all my fellow EWF fans...still the best.

[brooke050870]

YES! This reminds me of when I was little. I asked for The Best of EW&F on cassette for my 9th birthday and I listened to this song constantly! It wasn't the live version, but still. Awesome! Thank you for sharing this tennismenace77. :)

[nancyjo1408]

good memories with this song......

[dancecamerondance123]

This song is beautiful. Need anything more be said?

[ricardolima590]

maravihla achei valeu

[crhed]

Early 80's house party moment.....Turn those lights off...

[MrPark64]

love this song what a classic!

[LelleLawlietL]

They are amazing... No more words.. I don't lie I prefer the metal but either way.. It's just something you CAN'T hate... So wonderful... Ohh and BTW my father have this dvd and it's on 81 in JAPAN:) Thank you so much for the upload:P

[MegaBanne]

Stop dissing the "diss likers" for being honest, we are all different. Some people likes disco some like others.

If you ask me, i think that earth wind and fire are a bit white and soul less, than respect my opinion like I respect yours.

(if some people likes justin bieber let them, thats what freedom is all about, to have the rights to your own thoughts and feelings) ^.­-

[gghelo]

@MegaBanne .........white and soulless? earth, wind and fire? they had more love and soul than you will ever know. they would sing and dance in perfect tune. you had to be there. btw, everybody has a soul.

[MegaBanne]

@gghelo Its disco pop, maybe one of the more soul full ones, still its a mainstream popband. Do i have to say any thing more than that??

[xXxROADxKILLxXx]

Saxophone :') 

[doubledee308]

Lisa Riley where are you baby?

[JFABULOUS007]

Indeed TRUE Talent !!!!!!!

[StormReverie]

i don't wanna feel i'm in the wrong place to be real...that says it all...

[zuludelight]

IF U WERE THERE U HAD A REASON

[marcwisc]

dat bass

[dgc1961]

AWSOME!!! the real deal

[singlec2002]

This is what REAL music sounds like! No computerised crap just pure brilliant talent!

[wheaton87]

That was beautiful baby...

[CBreezyAlways1]

wow this is when people had talent and could actually sing, i dont know what the hell they done put out here nowadays, what a shame, things just seem to be changing for the worst not the better, and the first sign to show what i have just said is true is how music just just does not sit well with ur soul like it used to. think about that. - Taty

[newlondon100]

Oh, does this bring back memories in good ole New London.....Love this song....such a good song....classic.....

[Haynbob]

the 87 people dislike this video because it doesn't have a repeat button.

[starylunar]

no no no , you people who say "87 dislikes for (state reason here)" are ALL WRONG !

the 87 dislikes are clearly the people who got knocked out of their senses by Philip Bailey at 2:17

[suckittomcat]

Here's the link to the best version of this song ever: youtube.com/watch?v=ZIyFqSPz6m­A

[suckittomcat]

Maybe some people disliked it because the version from the album "Gratitude" is THE best version of this tune. I love EWF like no other band ever. Saw them live and Phil Bailey hit notes I ain't never heard before! He is off the hook! If you listen to the Gratitude cut, you will fall in love with this song all over again.  Peace.

[cavemanyc]

to those 87 dislikes you just had to be there and yes i was. Damn! I still get the chills.

[Soulmerchant100]

The greatest live performance song ever recoded......

[Astrocatlady]

@Soulmerchant100  Nope #2....Keep Your Head to the Sky is #1! :)

[TheRiot138]

@kidmaker888 Your generation is dumb. Learn to spell kid.



[saschasky]

i seen EWF last night in Waikiki, awsome

[80sray]

that space in his teeth, gives the music a egde. lol

[ChefJ08]

This song kicks beyonshit's ***!!! Her songs are the favorite of these 85 noobs.

[TheAssasin2525]

They like it-they're just embarrased to admit it! Lol

[Choclongleggz]

I will love EWF for life! they are my most fav band ever! A class all alone!!!! I absolutely love love love these fellows!

[everybodyscupoftee]

REAL MUSIC

[loucmangrobang]

:)



[MrBonessd]

That's what wrong with the world today people like to do hateful things towards each other. If you will notice since you posted that comment, two more people have joined saying they don't like the song. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this song, its just hate filled people that wants to disagree.

[EscritoriodeFunk]

Vai tomar no cú esses 85 aí! Devem ser fãs de 50C... Aqui, ó pra vcs!

[JoeDaPhinsPhan]

Jus' don't make soul moving music like this no more!!!

[librastar88]

OMG MY JAM!!!!

[MalcolmX7174]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD, just love this song forever no matter what mood i'm in it picks me up and brings back good memories of the 70's, EWF is still kickin' it live! Great Post and Thanks!

[TheRanger66]

85 people share the same DNA with that DMG- defective music gene.

[philiq18]

There should be clearly defined YouTube guidelines for clicking the 'Dislike' button especially for those people who have no idea what MUSIC is.

[lhsrtag]

85 People hate puppys!!! Who can Dislike this Jam??? EW&F fan for life

[59swl]

So can anyone tell me why people on Youtube go around and vote 'dislike' on certain songs?...

[gloutuplou]

spécial dedicasse a Karine de Montfavet qui m avait fait connaitre cette chanson!!

[Hoover5823]

Amazing !!!

[hespitfire]

85 people hit the wrong button either by accident (put on your glasses!) or because they obviously have no taste in music.

[223trailblazer]

@hespitfire ...... YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT!!!!!!

[misscherry1986]

@hespitfire I know that's right what's not to like about this song? BEAUTIFUL!

[rcwilliams0208]

This the jam when music was music. I saw them in concert and they was off the chain I enjoyed myself I hate when it ended.

[MsMillertime68]

a true classic song brings back sweet memories

[misha0316]

earth, wind and fire is just exceptional! hands down!

[SassaChaka]

Forget the 82 dislikes, just feel bad for them because they just dont get it or they cant get it...either way, they are missing something wonderful

[SassaChaka]

Forget the 82 dislikes, just feel bad for them because they just dont get it.

[kalibrador]

maaaaan nowadays the only dudes capable of performing that note are gays...something is wrong with the world!...maybe bob squarepants or britney spears I dont know.

[LDC909VQ]

now this is music....not even mine can touch this....theres ONLY ONE

mr.BAILY..........THATS THE REAL REASON..... THIS JAM MADE ALOT OF BABYS..

THANKS FOR POSTING... SEMONE BIG DOGG.

[silviadelossantos]

algun dia yo la cantare, son recuerdo de mi niñez, de la musica ke me enseño mi papa.

[whoisdarkkent]

The reason they called Earth, Wind and Fire is because the panties hit the ground get caught by wind and burst into flames ! Thank you Philip Bailey for unlocking mad doors for me!

[humboldt777]

Wow! Breathless!

[BigSista55]

There is only 1 Philip Bailey!!!

[rnizzy55]

reasons why were here is to listen to a great songgggg

[elderkev]

Fantastic... brings back memories

of better days gone bye

[OldskolFan]

Okay people! Quit trying to sing this song; like you, I am butchering this song. Please, think about the children and animals when attempting this song. You don't sound like Phillip; nobody can ever, or has ever, sang it like Phillip!

[DrunkenUFOPilot]

@OldskolFan Total Agreement! I once tried to sing this in the shower, and the drops turned around and went back into the showerhead. Only The Phillip can be The Phillip!

[MsMerising]

@DrunkenUFOPilot

LMAO!!!!!!!!! <3

[OldskolFan]

@DrunkenUFOPilot Lol!

[kentr31l]

to all those that said "yeah im the best falsetto soprano high note singer in the world".......2:18 just jizzed in your hand and slapped you with it

Just think boys and girls; what passes for music THESE days, is some jack ass mumbling gibberish into a microphone, while some OTHER jack ass spins a record of somebody ELSE'S music. Sad, isn't it?
