few bands ever achieve this selfless synchronicity inspired by great love and artistry. they represent everything good that came out the sixties, before the "illuminati" gave a bad name to enlightenment and love. real art elevates the soul, these guys had it going on in a big, great way.
The first time I ever heard this song, I was driving and had to pull over.See, I recognized Phil and Maurice voices...the melody...OMG. Unfortunately, it was like 2 years later before the radio stations played it again. I heard later the release was delayed... something about contracts...and such... Now I play it to death. Been making up for lost time ever since. LOL
I heard this cut on Sirius radio and I was like "Yo, this joint really takes me back. This piece is so hot. I don't know why I'm just hearing it only on (sat. radio) I've got to go cop this joint. Do your thang (Elements and Saadiq) Instruments-Like Dat!
This is music. I miss the sound of a real band. It seems like so few of them exist now but EW&F are the truth. I have loved their music since my mom played their records when I was a kid, I am still a fan at 40+
Just perfect , the writing, production, lyrics and the coming together of two great artist. To collaborate and get this sound is just .................... Perfect.
i heard this joint on the radio n' have been lookin' for it for ONE YEAR!!! thank goodness xm radio had it playin' tonight or i wouldn't have gotten the name of the song!!! lol
When I heard this CD in 2006, it reminded me so much of EWF in their prime, I bought four CDs and mailed them to people who would appreciate this great work!
It is so wonderful for us all to be blessed to hear the union of MAURICE WHITE & the up & coming songwriter/producer Raphael Saadiq...GOD has given EARTH, WIND & FIRE longevity to continue to "OPEN OUR EYES"...........PRAISE YOUR HOLY NAME FATHER GOD.........ONENESS
this is a Ballroom Classic here in Detroit...gets played in Heavy Roatation with the 25+ up crowd in the clubs...dont sleep we love Rahael in the D and there aint never been a doubt how Motown feel bout EWF!!!! Much Love Respect and Soul....
Raphael really shows he gets where EWF are coming from on this tune, respect to him for acknowledging the EWF legacy. Also he's a great artist in his own right.
I love this song this song it is a really hot song. This is a bad band right here nobody can hang with these guys. For them to still be together and touring is a blessin alot of groups want to last as long as them but they don't. You have to strive and work as hard as they do if you want to last like they have done.

@MJRookieRook -- Their music doesn't get recognition because we live in an MTV culture that is more impressed with what they see rather than what they hear.
I love Earth Wind and Fire and this is simply the best Raphael just added to the vibe. Yes they are still very relevant. As relevant as the elements they represent!
Im fifteen now but i remember my mom bought this cd she would play this song over and over and i fell in love with the song now it makes me wanna get close with a girl i love and just stare into each others eyes
lying in bed this came on rolled over to download asap this is spoken emotion what a collaboration awesome dang this is so hot i will listen bout 15 more times 2nite alone
All man thats that maurice white I know right there.reminds me of a cut from the album with the Pharohe Rameses on the cover.I think its called "All n All"Feel good music as it's best.
Sad to say but great to have : I just bought this CD for Best Buy for 50 cent, unbelievable. Seriously it's being clearance out for 50 cent. Check your local Best Buy the SKU is 7441958.
what a fantastic piece of music..its sounds so dated but fresh and new at the same time..old school with new cool!!!.when phillip does his thing it was like DAMN!!! beautiful. it will in time be looked at as a classic the one that got away
Soul Legend Raphael Saadiq exclusive: The musician talks about his new album “Stone Rollin”, his idols and why it’s so important for him to respect the Groove. Please find the portrait in the new issue of Red Bull’s magazine „Red Bulletin“. It’s sold at the kiosks beginning Tuesday, June 7th.
For more information just google “The Red Bulletin 2011”.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS TO DEATH. I don't care how the kids look at me at school for playing this song. If you can't feel this then I don't know what type of feelings you have!
Man I freakin' love this right here. See, it's not that there isn't anymore music like this it just doesn't get the same love as whatever they're calling music now. Shoot, how come I missed this one. I can't get over this song. This is so groovy and smooth. Makes you want to cry, scream, and slap somebody. In the words of Lawrence Fishburne at the end of School Daze, "WAKE UP!" Thanks so much for sharing.
LOOOOOVVVE THIS SONG! I HAVE THE CD AND I PLAYED IT SOO MUCH IT SCRATCHED! LOLOL THIS IS REAL MUSIC BABY W/ RAPHAEL/EWF CAN'T GO WRONG, WAKE UP PEOPLE THIS IS REAL MUSIC! THE BASS IS LOVELY....MUSICAL ARRANGEMENT IS PURE...ONE WHO LOVES MUSIC UNDERSTANDS....THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!
@highwaymantokyo It's kind of ironic that you mentioned the Black Eyed Peas on an Earth, Wind & Fire song when will.i.am wrote and produced the song "Lovely People" from their "Illumination" album.
I absolutely love good music. Thanks to you both for collaborating to make such a positive music trend for today. How i wish the radio stations would play this type of music instead of all that negative stuff. I would much rather hear little children singing the chorus to songs like this instead of reciting the stuff they do nowadays.
And I will support them as well. They are just an amazing entity. And this song is indeed one of few songs where every second is a delight, and I'm elated that I can bask in it for almost 8 uninterrupted minutes before playing it again.:D I appreciate you, EWF.
i know what you mean because this band has been putting out good quality of music since 1971 till today but as long as they continue to put out new music like the new album this summer ,i will continue to support them.
It's a crying shame that an absolutely beautiful song like this gets overlooked by mainstream radio and media simply because these guys are no longer 25, or because they aren't talking about big shiny rims, or big booty hoes, or how many keys of coke they sold. I'm convinced that the problem is not with the artists, it's with the record labels and radio stations that refuse to play anything of quality. I really believe that if the majority of folks knew this existed, they would like it.
@dakeved Amen, brother. I personally had never really listened to Rafael Saadiq until this week when I watched him on Letterman and said "who the hell was THAT?!!" (I was in the hospital). He is truly a breath of fresh air. We need more of this old school music and I don't mean the old stuff, I mean the new stuff by old and new artists. Check on Dionne Bromfield, for example.

Yo No one can touch EWF horn section... Till this day the are still the baddest group to me... I will put them up to any band they will hold it down... Thank you mom for putting me on to good music as a kid!
Omq ive been listeninq to earth wind and firee sincee i was born and im 13 now && i love them so muh ! my papa got me into them but my mom says he used to sing it to mee wehn i was n her stomach andd wehn i was born uqh i love them ! <3
God, i've played this several times now and i have to admit, i didnt' really feel the true meaning ... but wow ... maurice and raphael ... what a combo ... and the lyrics! dammit ... works for me right now and the life i'm living ... thank you EWF and Raphael ... what a collaboration ... !!!
This song is an instant classic! For the many fans of EWF will agree that thier music is very effective on many levels. This Album here shows they've tweaked their style just a tad to still be an effective formula to satisfy the long time fans and also attract the modern ear. This should inspire the newer generations on how to make "real" music without all of the hype of money and popularity involved. This is REAL R&B!!! My message is, make music from the heart not the seat of your pants.
@YungBoss231 Ya, Im twelve and EWF has been my favorite band for a couple of years... I really love the way they mix R&B and Latin sometimes...great results... and with this album...ive always been a fan of newer R&B so this is great
Raphael, did excellant job singing in the background, but by know means does he have the pipes of Phillip Bailey..and I have been a fan of EWF for over 30 yrs. Love Toni,Tone
Tony they are from the Sfran bayarea just like me...but EWF are still unsurpassed...
@TheJourneyalone No question him,Muzik and Stokely from Mint condition def coulda sang in any 70s band bcuz they make 70s music.You can tell they were heavily influenced by 70s soul,and they def respect the music as well as the artists'.
Raphael Saadiq did a perfect job of capturing that classic Earth, Wind & Fire sound (horns, melody, etc) without watering it down to fit into the cookie cuter music of today.
i love this song so much this whole album is on point im almost 27 and i went to my first earth wind n fire concert with my daddy i was only 18 months n everytime they come to out area we go just me n my daddy...... im a daddy lil girl.... its our special thing to do
@lbzladie24 I went to my first Earth Wind and Fire concert when I was in high school. Went with my mom and it was the best experience in the world. Maurice has an unbelievable voice, it can shake an entire concert hall. I want to see them again.
When I think of this song, it reminds me of my man J RICH. Jay, who loves your sugary sticky sweet dirty draws? I DO! BAM! PUMP IT! Love is a beautiful thang....LOL.
This is the book end from the 60's. Bailey is phenomenal from 5:39 to 5:50. No one hits a note like that anymore. No one can innovate like E W F. They embody the consciousness of a people that have survived hell and then some. This is the world's greatest band.........period. Raphael thank you for letting them know they still are relevant. From 6:00 on is a call to the ancestors......
@QB42477 Phillip Bailey has a stronger Falsetto he did sing in the background Raphael sang too also Maurice can hit hi notes as well, but that solo at the end was classic phil bailey
@QB42477 - I dont agree Phillip has a stronger Falsetto than Raphael..Ive been listening to these giys for over 30 yrs and I know Phillip from Raphael trust me....
@cleopatrabonz DID YOU READ what I said AT ALL??? That doesn't downgrade P.Bailey's gift AT ALL, but that falsetto solo was ALL R.Saadiq PERIOD! I merely said that was Saadiq on that part instead of P.Bailey. I gave him his credit where it was due because Donnomercy thought it was P.Bailey. EW&F is my FAV group of ALL TIME, so I KNOW when P. voice.... I don't wanna argue, so let this be it.... Thank u fellow diehard fan!!!! :)
@QB42477 - I dont agree Phillip has a stronger Falsetto than Raphael..Ive been listening to these guys for over 30 yrs and I know Phillip from Raphael trust me....
@cleopatrabonz I know this discussion is a couple months old, but I'm hoping you went back to relisten to the breakdown and realized that it is indeed Raphael Saadiq singing in falsetto entirely by himself? I really hope you did just to clear up any confusion with others who may stumble across this. Lol.
this came out like 4 or 5 years ago i believe.. was EWFs attempt at a little shift in their sound.. this happens to be one of the best two songs on the album and i feel like its got more of that classic EWF feel even with raphael in it
The one and only maurice White! Im 45 years old, been an ewf fan for a long time, they are not the same group without him, i know he still producing, but i would love to see him tour again! Peace Maurice!
@bkrich007 would love to see him......and ditto about not seeing him....i mean the group carrys on but his absence is palpable....EWF fan4ever........Lady L.
Smoothest in the business. Such feel good music that projects the message of Love. This track is for the Ultimate Romantic.

This should inspire the newer generations on how to make "real" music without all of the hype of money and popularity involved. This is REAL R&B!!! My message is, make music from the heart not the seat of your pants.

Good song.
If that album was produced by Raphael and Maurice and had no outside guests, it would have been a classic in it's own right.

Raphael, did excellant job singing in the background, but by know means does he have the pipes of Phillip Bailey..and I have been a fan of EWF for over 30 yrs. Love Toni,Tone
Tony they are from the Sfran bayarea just like me...but EWF are still unsurpassed...

Raphael Saadiq did a perfect job of capturing that classic Earth, Wind & Fire sound (horns, melody, etc) without watering it down to fit into the cookie cuter music of today.

@lbzladie24 I went to my first Earth Wind and Fire concert when I was in high school. Went with my mom and it was the best experience in the world. Maurice has an unbelievable voice, it can shake an entire concert hall. I want to see them again.

This is the book end from the 60's. Bailey is phenomenal from 5:39 to 5:50. No one hits a note like that anymore. No one can innovate like E W F. They embody the consciousness of a people that have survived hell and then some. This is the world's greatest band.........period. Raphael thank you for letting them know they still are relevant. From 6:00 on is a call to the ancestors......

@Donnomercy Baby, that wasn't Phillip Bailey, It was Raphael Saadiq... He sings in falsetto too..... :)

@QB42477 Phillip Bailey has a stronger Falsetto he did sing in the background Raphael sang too also Maurice can hit hi notes as well, but that solo at the end was classic phil bailey
cleopatrabonz 8 months ago
@QB42477 - I dont agree Phillip has a stronger Falsetto than Raphael..Ive been listening to these giys for over 30 yrs and I know Phillip from Raphael trust me....
cleopatrabonz 7 months ago
@cleopatrabonz DID YOU READ what I said AT ALL??? That doesn't downgrade P.Bailey's gift AT ALL, but that falsetto solo was ALL R.Saadiq PERIOD! I merely said that was Saadiq on that part instead of P.Bailey. I gave him his credit where it was due because Donnomercy thought it was P.Bailey. EW&F is my FAV group of ALL TIME, so I KNOW when P. voice.... I don't wanna argue, so let this be it.... Thank u fellow diehard fan!!!! :)

@cleopatrabonz I know this discussion is a couple months old, but I'm hoping you went back to relisten to the breakdown and realized that it is indeed Raphael Saadiq singing in falsetto entirely by himself? I really hope you did just to clear up any confusion with others who may stumble across this. Lol.

this came out like 4 or 5 years ago i believe.. was EWFs attempt at a little shift in their sound.. this happens to be one of the best two songs on the album and i feel like its got more of that classic EWF feel even with raphael in it
