earth wind and fire : after the love has gone

[sheisinheaven]

my sister, who was 8 years older than i, took me to the record store when this album came out. i wanted to buy some lame rock album. but she, having incredible musical taste, said, " buy this, you won't regret it." i did and i never regreted it. i lost my sister 2 and half years ago....when i hear this, i just want to scream out, i hear you my beautiful sister....and thank you, thank you for all your influence and love. i miss our soul train saturday mornings. miss you.

[Hulk2k6]

@sheisinheaven

Just out of curiosity, What was the "lame" album you would have settled for?

[Frankiarmz]

Marjorie, I never forgot! Frank

[NFLFBLVR]

The days of the best music are still here thanx to u tube best concert ever!!!

[4378200]

@NFLFBLVR thank God gave us music like this!

[Jamesdurbinrules]

Beautiful song

[fedrelli]

remembering . . . it sucks to get old!

[4378200]

@fedrelli yeah I hear you, kinda sad when we become aware of time slipping away...now I understand when the scriptures states "enjoy your youth"

[eightballdoc]

u no i kinda feel sorry for a few azzholes who didnt grow up in the 70's. not really fuk them.

[prettygirlswagg777]

when music was beautiful im young and understand the meaning of love

[carinalavin420]

something happened along the way >.< so true

[smokiebird06]

Go see these folks in concert. Trust me!!

[SuperTheMaster99]

16 PEOPLE ARE DEAFS



[triggerthemoment]

I so remember this song like it was yesterday, as I woke up early Saturday morning to the “Looney Tunes,” “Tin Tin” (the classical old version, not the Spielberg movie out now) and “Duck Tales” (just to name a few)! Boy I miss my childhood, things were just so simple and easy. This song would play to breakfast courtesy of my dad (who is a huge Earth Wind & Fire fan), and every one would gather around (me being the youngest at the time would be asked to give grace)!

[smokiebird06]

@triggerthemoment Very well said. I miss those times, too.

[Katrinacool1999]

This is so relaxing and beautiful

[bemis2757]

Love the music but why not show a true video - one of the group actually performing the songs. None of their music on you tube is that way.

[dpowerfool]

Ημισκούμπρια!! Άσε τον ουρακοτάγκο λέω!

[ladylegree1]

there is nothing like that good ole skool music

[SLASH2951]

Classic Love Song and I'm the King of Love Songs "what use to be wright is wrong" lol

[jlovell40831]

Memories of summers in Stockton @ Aunt Shirley and Uncle Ronald's house...knee high tube socks with colored stripes...really short shorts...Charlie's Angels t-shirt...mini 'fro...water balloon fights...good times, indeed!!!

[bjbhappy]

wonderful~

[CarlosMacMartin]

14 people need a kick to the skull!

[Emicka02]

tak tohle je skasika to je moje...

[mll233]

Some good music.....brings back memories

[oghazij]

Earth, wind, fire and.........LOVE

[sevadaj]

Great song!!!! This song is on the "I am" album which I still have on vinyl! (For you younger folks, one way many centuries on ago people used to listen music was on vinyl, and yes I am that old!!!!) :-P

[MrAlfonsoCespedes]

After love has goone...depois queo amo se vai... uma das melhores do meu acervo.....KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK BONS TEMPOS!!!!!!

[boomerang905]

Reminds me when I was really moving away from my boyfriend. It was hard but it was the right thing to do. It's bad to attach something so beautiful to a bad experience but that's life, as this song is testifying. Beautiful and thanks.

[TheSubjectz]

Back in the time when people harmonized, not autotuned!

[shaigabs127]

Best ever....we don't get them like this no more!!

[soap1919jt]

A classique classic!

[TheMalikmuhammad]

Soul as it should be

[smitheree]

Absolute Class

[tocolormemucsic44]

bieber nad the rest of the young so-called artists cant sing they either hollar or talk loud, absolutly no tonal quality, lower standards for the same certificastions in todays world is the norm.....too bad

[whhswhhs]

Great tune...thanks for posting.

[alfiemaldini]

EARTH WIND AND FIRE NUFF SAID!!!!

[teknobeatno]

i'm 18 months old and i LOVE this song!

[Sappyspartan]

@teknobeatno 1 and a half year olds watch YouTube? Dang

[diodoro73]

pure mastery in a song- they had to be cosmically inspired to create this.

[Sappyspartan]

@diodoro73 I couldn't agree more with you. They make it seem so easy to create enduring classics like these, but when you listen to today's music you change your mind.

[killahoneyyB]

i'm 20 ..i'd much rather listen to this than any young artist out today . real music.

[ucandrinkmytea]

The Beatles WISH they were THIS GOOD!

[morningbirdfeeder]

This has to be one of the top 10 songs of all time.

[ironmanc5]

i'm 46 and my new young girlfriend thought EARTH WIND ANF FIRE were power rangers ,,,,,

[JoeFoderaroMusic]

I put this on my sex playlist

[cguidryful]

this is real music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! C.G

[Leethyna]

@gidesign1 hes just talking about how beibers music is all special effects and how beiber can sing but has no other musical talent like ewf has (e.g. COMPOSING) but yeah

[JacobsClayton]

This Is My Jam!!! Earth, Wind & Fire is awesome!!! This could blast out of every car window every day and all day and I wouldn't get tired of it!!!

[JamalDOA]

this reminds me of South Carolina

[wiseperson02]

This is my parents song to blast when we are on the road

[britishpakman]

music is good no matter what it is!

but especially earth, wind and fire!

[britishpakman]

@67firebird428 I'm 247 years old and since when did beethoven use synthesizers, he wrote and played his own music. I sure hope we get back to his style soon because the fake garbage is killin' me

[chcl8tpassi0n]

On repeat! <3

[peachablemacaw]

This is as good as it gets!!!!

[rushiebooable]

One of the greatest hits from EWF.....Classic and timeless.

[mzluvable247]

i sang this song with my chorus and i have loved this song since !

[20mcwald]

Great stuff

[toofresh91]

Don't waste your time listening to this classic and not likekin it or add it to your favorites.

[GabrielDeRoseMusic]

Half of the views on this thing have to be mine!

[bird1751]

grand fun memories ...=)

[kevman77]

Music used to be great but something happened along the way...sigh.

[3ll3qpEllE]

@kevman77 Magic dissapeared when the jews killed Jesus.

[eightiesguy62]

@kevman77 You got that right...something bad happened!! Although I am much more into 80s music than any other decade the 70s had some great music as did the 60s....I am also a big Beatles fan and they ruled the 60s for sure...listening to all the old music brings back great memories....and the videos from the 80s....what happened to that??

[mairottarod]

Amen 67firebird428. This is real heartfelt music. Real musicians, real songwriters that leave and impression on your life. I also hate that new garbage that many pass for music and talent.

[RawDogg2469]

i love this fu*kin song



[footlovinbear]

back when music was music

[IviTheJuice]

@gidesign1 what bieber has to to in an earth wind and fire's video? He sings pop and here is classic rnb. why are you talking about him ALL THE TIME?

[FillionDollarSmile]

@gidesign1 Who is Bieber :P

[flashsonic45789]

@gidesign1 true dat true dat

[pianobillf]

Perfect synthesis of soul, pop, jazz, from a more romantic age.

[morningbirdfeeder]

Earth Wind and Fire is as good as it gets.

[Jen9109]

their voices gives me goose bumps

[heyzoosechrist96]

there's nothing good on the radio anymore.....so i listen to this :)

[jooarnaldodeassisa]

Essa música é um classico ... show de bola!!!

[EmilyShaver]

we're doing this song along with getaway, into the stone, and september for our marching band show :)

[MrSticka62]

when u hear gold like this u have to ask if the good music composers sold out cheap or just got DAMN LAZY!!! just to sit in studio and come up with good quality material.

[Sreal1200]

Classic

[cottontop0]

Bow down and worship the great EWF! Their music lets me know there is a god.

[woobiefuntime]

Yippee-ki-yay, motherfuckers 

[Treece78]

wow,this music will never die, food for the soul xx

[DaveWollenberg]

Maybe Maurice White can find a cure for his Parkinson's disease, and, go back on the road with EW&F. After all, he NAMED the band!

[Devantium]

only earth wind and fire is capabale to have almost a milion views with only 12 dislikes

[LSCGable]

I'm only 15 but I love this song into pieces!

[matpetheny]

@67firebird428 your absolutely right, man... its the performance that matters, the real thing. Not press button - MUSIC.

[dannyvanthoff]

@67firebird428 sly stone made one of the funkiest albums ever using a drumcomputer and a lot of studio tricks back in 71.... "theres a riot goin on".... and you have no idea how many new sounds can be created through sampling... so half informed pricks like you should GTFO

[jackthehatuk]

@dannyvanthoff No offence but i don't actually think you get what he is saying. From your response to him i am guessing you are a bit younger (the abuse an all) . In the days when this stuff was about people were able to share opinions without getting abusive. Although he did let himself down by calling people that sample assholes. Alot of great stuff has come from sampling. But this kind of music has a special place for a lot of people because it was pure.

[dannyvanthoff]

@jackthehatuk i love ewf but to me it looks like he is telling the 'kids' that ewf is pure music as opposed to most music that is created today. im here to tell him has no right to say that. in my opinion there is absolutely no lack of pure music. if this 'fake garbage' is really 'killin'' him... he probably isnt looking or listening in the right places.... seek and you shall find. his opinion on sampling and 'studio tricks' i also find ignorant... seeing as this can only enhance PURE music.

[jackthehatuk]

@dannyvanthoff  Fair enough. It is hard (impossible) for everyone to agree about music. I do think though that some music cannot be bettered no matter how much someone tries to enhance it. But to the ears of people who have grown up in a different generation (not implying you) i can understand how they would hear an improvement. Personally, I think EWF and a lot of bands from that era created stuff that was as good as it gets. I know what he means by the 'Fake' But i try and remain broadminded.

[dannyvanthoff]

@jackthehatuk its funny to see how many narrow minded comments this song attracts compared to some other ewf songs on youtube. no offense to the song.maybe some people who have grown up listening to sam cooke think this song sounds fabricated and synthetic. it would be nice to see older people not identifying so strongly with their generation. even nicer if they would stop saying 'this' is the best and nothing is better. that's maybe why their grandkids don't visit them in their nursing home

[jackthehatuk]

@dannyvanthoff I am on your side when it comes to narrowmindedness. Personally i try (emphasis on'try') not to hate any music because i know it must appeal to someone and whoever that is is entitled to think that music is great, no matter how bad i think it is. Grandkids, you would think, would visit their grandparents because they love and respect them!? I wouldn't not visit my grandparents because they liked Schubert or Benny Goodman. Narrow minded people are rife in this world. :-(

[jon99miller]

@67firebird428 you can say that again. Today's music sucks.

[pomoeeyore]

@67firebird428 EWF did indeed write play and sing their own music. But it takes a genius producer to make a recording sound this good (and EWF found David Foster who was and still is a genius producer).

Bear in mind also that there's an awful lot of stuff from 1979/80 that never gets played these days, simply because under the surface it was crap, and no amount of production magic could fix that.

[MAN1UAL2]

@67firebird428

Absolutely agree!

[skittlezthajerkkid]

@67firebird428 im 13 and i tottaly agree



[radien239]

@67firebird428 well it really doesnt matter cause dey still get paid smh, 14 n i like stuff from Earth Wind And Fire

[josephlafaele1]

@67firebird428 Though i do agree with you, but i dont thinks it fair to rubbish all sampled songs. there is great sampled song from Kanye,Jay Z,John Legend, and so on. Just my oppinion :)

[319am1]

@67firebird428 AGE DOESNT MATTER

[SUPERSILVERH8ORADE]

@67firebird428 show some respect. just because you like something and dont like another genre it doesnt mean the one you like is factually real music. Stop moaning and just be grateful that you are even listening to this song for free on the internet & its STILL HERE, listen to ur classics they aint goin nowhere. And i bet you couldnt even use a drum machine. dont knock creation its not a good look.

[stoomtrein60]

Earth Wind & Fire & Music !!!!!!!!!!!!

[brainysnaeha]

@stoomtrein60

If you want all of their columbia labeled albums just pre-order Earth, Wind & Fire The Columbia Masters.

Which got all of their 15 Columbia Albums.

Plus 1 bonus CD.

I think i'll get it soon so i can get all of their columbia albums all in one!

Including 2 of their rare and expensive album in online store like Touch the world and RAISE!.

[stomachpunch]

after the love is gone--and pop music is gone in this generation-it apparently has been exhausted-only the past we listen- and know that what has been done is a memory and what comes is only worse and is getting worse-it is nauseauting

[thesmartypants91]

i miss u ewf bout 2 cry

[thesmartypants91]

so sad excuse me im crying voice is soooo beautiful

[Philip331]

A forever great song....

[MultiBlackMc]

Real music.

[thesiouxgoddess]

The 11 "dislikes" are deaf as hell!

[thesiouxgoddess]

TWO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS CLASSIC:  TIMELESS AND MELANCHOLY :(

[TPBass1224]

What has to be wrong with your soul to "dislike" this song??

[zzzeeennnyyy]

the;re already 11.!

[viperrules01]

Obviously, YouTube has no requirements of an account holder to have any knowledge on music because 11 straight up dumbasses hold one and they wouldn't know the difference between good music and a fart in an auditorium.

[STEAMWORKER]

My first lsd experience

[STEAMWORKER]

My first LSD experience

[jessicavega1952]

These people just don't know, What good music is.... Bring Back the 50's 60's 70's..

[kezie666666]

awesome

[mzluvable247]

i sang this song for the first time with my chorus nd since then i remember all the words ( the best chorus teacher ever)

[ghanboy]

@TheWanderingNinja Update: No one cares about that Soulja Boy 'song' anymore. And I haven't even heard Soulja Boy's name on barely anyone's lips. Bad music is still coming in droves and spreading like the plague, lol

[viperrules01]

@ghanboy

Souljah Boy? He's still around. I guess he is modern day rap version of a chia-pet. Caught fire, but was just a mere fad. Still sold but not being bought nowhere near as much as they used to.

[TheWanderingNinja]

@ghanboy Update: That comment was from two years ago.

[ghanboy]

@TheWanderingNinja I know. That's why I said 'update' too, in my comment.

[jenracski]

why would 11 people not like this song???

[nhengreyes]

@jenracski im too also asking for the

[ghanboy]

@jenracski Ignore them. Don't let them ruin your moment.

[TheMan4allseasons]

@taxfundi cos hes an undeserving little cnut thats why...he got no talent...and the dudes that did got a whole load of nothing for the sake of it

[FamousEddieFortune]

This song is way before my time... but god dammit.. its amazing

[mobed2]

[JazziChick10]

You Could Barely See The Dislikes Bar, That Just Proves That This Is What Music Is All About . And If Yu Dnt Aqree Yu Can Kiss It . #IJS

[391KTM]

I forgot to add Maurice White is a fucking GENIUS!! truly born for this

[391KTM]

beautiful music that touches the soul dude . and this is coming from the mouth of a 19 year old male who listen to all types of music . plus the trumpet solo at the end put the icing on the cake

[razgriz849]

[danboyguitar94]

[JNROB7576]

[stradivarius151]

@Jerzrailfan

I agree completely, but something terrible happened. One more person disliked.
