  • Maurice White got sick over twenty years ago.. He hasn't played with the group since then. If you didn't see EW&F back then you haven't seen the "Real EW&F". EW&F with Maurice White is truly the greatest R&B group of all time.

  • Rumor is he suffers from first stages of alzheimers.

  • Ok....can someone please let me know,what happened to Maurice White?Thanks!......

  • Bring back memories of my then boyfriend Walter Shelton, wonder how hes doing.

  • The Greatest Band of All-Time! If you don't believe me, you are lying to yourself! Thank You Mr. Maurice White!

  • ...And people fawn over the likes of lady gaga, niki minage, and other preformers who are really shams, con artists of music. EWF is the real deal. So good. So fine.

  • That's music right there!!!

  • EWF fans look up "Guiding Lights" the new one from them is excellent!!!!

  • Today is Loves Holiday. haha But damn, this would be my song for my girl if i was only in love with her...

  • My step-sister LOVED this song. Every time I hear it.... I think of her & the big 'fro she was rocking back then. Getting dressed to go out one night.  She turned me on to EWF. RIP Cynthia Butler...you are so missed! Love you. :-)

  • I sure miss Maurice White...he had a special place in this group. This song made me laugh about all of the fun I had at the concerts in the New Orleans Superdome. Special people; special place in time. Juan and Ketta I miss u both. 

  • Music is not the same anymore.

  • Would ya mind?

  • Wow! I love this song! Great music spans time, appeals to all ages, cultures, races, religions, and sexes...unfortunately today's music appeals to mostly uneducated kids who are immature. Thank God for youtube! I can get on here for hours and reminisce about what music used to be like even though this music was before my birth, I still understand it.

  • @utvolsfan1985 You are soooooooo right. I can't stand another goin to the club song.

  • SONG, MUSIC & LYRICS AT ITS BEST..HANDS DOWN..FUCK ALL YA WANNABE MESSING UP THE MUSIC TODAY...

  • I saw them in concert at the Spectrum in Philly back in the early seventies. The music was real back then. Love this song!!!

  • Sang Maurice!!!!

  • This is what a love song is all about telling the one that you love how you feel about them a real classic...

  • Back in the day you heard and felt the music if you had a heart.Please pull up KEEP YOUR HEAD TO THE SKY. by EARTH WIND & FIRE. I'm from B-More Maryland From the Slow Drag Lights out time. LOL.

  • Back in the day we had some white groups that were bad to,like Average White Band , Tower Of Power . Chicago . these Duds could play there asses of and crossed over to black radio stations

  • I saw them live at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA (O*C Baby) and though they may not be all originals they were stiil badass. Philip Michael Bailey can sing man but this song they didn't sing. Oh well its still my fav song by them along with Reasons . Thanx for posting.

  • Thank you aBLACKGIRL1986 you have a great ear for Music. Love you Bye "T"

  • When music was really music and you had to be able to perform it live

    or take it to the house

  • wish i was a teenager then rather than now..

  • @LBJTV - Just appreciate now, be thankful for your youth right now. I was a teenager back then, but it was'nt easy then either, believe me.

  • RAISE !

  • Timeless classic.

  • Earth Wind and Fire is the real deal baby! True musicians and vocalists. I was a teenager at this time and trust me we knew they were it! The band, vocalists, lyrics and melodies blended with love and spirituality is like no other! It was a special time indeed!!!!

  • @lovebug3078 ......my one time to see them in their heyday, and they cancelled the show due to bad weather in Cleveland, Oh. don't ask me the year. but, i think it's been over 30 years. get well, Maurice.

  • One of my favorite songs of all time!!!

  • High school was good love music, but i was not in love, that's why i still play this song.

  • I WAS 14 WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT.AND ITS STILL GOING STRONG.

  • My nephew loves the music back in the 1970's.

  • cant nobody sing this like Maurice White...nobody!!

  • Hampton Coliseum, 1981...Magic Mind....

  • Here we go!

  • I first saw EWF at Eastern College boy they gave me chill and still do... Classic singing...

  • @darthkrueger. Those names you listed: what or who are they supposed to be? You seriously aren't saying they are even close to any of the 70s, 80s and 90s era bands/artists?

  • I saw them back in 1978 in Hollywood, FL in the Sportatorium (no longer there..Housing now.)What a concert. Nobody else comes close to EWF. I feel sorry for today's generation who never knew this music and listens to today's crap. No feeling in the lyrics nor the music. Its a shame because EWF was the best around.

  • WOW IM GLAD I WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE 70S TODAYS MUSIC IS TRASH

  • They gave me the concert ever....The Forum in Inglewwod Calirornia!!

  • 44 IN I'M WET WAY TO TO VENESSA4U4EVR

  • At 55, this song still makes me want to melt right into Maurice's arms. (But I can melt into Larry Dunn's arms too. Alright, I'll take 'em all!)

  • I cry every time I hear this music now because that was real SOUL music. I went to their concert when they were at the height of their powers as a junior in high school in 1975. I was a musician in high school band and they were my favorite black band with Andrew Wolfolk on Sax and Chicago was my favorite white band with all of them having a master's degree in music. This is real music where you can actually HEAR and UNDERSTAND the lyrics. This music meant something and it was about love.

  • @kennethketchum your right. same here

  • EWF is hands down the greatest band ever...period.

  • i saw them 3 months ago and somethings just never grow old, at 60 these guys still have it. it was one of the best live shows i have ever seen

  • real music never gets old...

  • I saw EWF in LA in 1978 W the Forum......one of the best shows ever!!!!!

  • SING IT.!!!!!!!!!!

  • now that's old school groove

  • I LOVE THE WAY THIS SONG BEGINS... SO MELODIC.... THESE WERE TRULY MUSIC ARTISTS THAT MADE WOMEN FALL TO THEIR KNEES AND THEIR HEART SKIP A BEAT... THEIR SONGS WERE REAL AND SOUNDED REAL... THEY PLAYED WITH INSTRUMENTS AND HAD LIVE BANDS AND THEIR SONGS WERE AT LEAST 5MINS TO 9MINS LONG BECAUSE THEY WERE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT.... THEY HAVE NO SENSE OF FEELING IN THE SO CALLED MUSIC OF TODAY WHICH I CAN'T STAND AND DO NOT LISTEN TO... ITS STRAIGHT GARBAGE....

  • Budweiser Superfest '78 MSG

  • For all you youngsters that have seen EWF in the last 20 years that"s not the real EWF? Maurice White hasn't sang with them in 20 years plus. For you old school individuals that were fortunate to see him when he was the lead singer you know the "Real" EWF!!!. I seen them in Denver in 1977...The Sprit Tour....Incredible!!!!!

  • @tonyg505 You got that right!! I saw the new EWF and the missing key was Maurice!!

  • @tonyg505 If you have DVR, you can catch them on TVI performing a 1 hour concert in Japan from 1990 with Maurice White, Philip Bailey et al.  live. Kid from Kid and Play hosts this broadcast WAY BLACK WHEN and I have recorded it twice. It just came on last Saturday night at 3am, after the 2 hour Chaka Khan concert, which came on after Beyonce's 2 hour concert and before the James Brown 2 hour special which is why I went to youtube to listen to more music. The concert was excellent.

  • soooo romantic i love this i grew up listening to earth wind and fire im 32 and this is my favorite song.

  • Maurice....maaaan!!! Sing dude!!!!

  • where can i dowload this

  • I love listening to this song.

  • AWARD WINNING  LEGENDS GRATITUDE BEST LIVE ALBUM STILL LISTENS 2 IT LOV YA

  • One of if not the GREATEST Songs of ALL, Times!!!... WOW!!!...

  • There is no other! like my brothas, THE ELEMENT!!! EWF.

  • Classic, always will be....

  • one of my fav from EWF! :)

  • Maurice White belted it out with the best of them!

  • There were certain artist that I would go and buy the ALBUM (yes they were ALBUMS back then) without even hearing what was on it first because I could count on the quality being there. EWF, Isley Brothers, Marvin, Stevie, Barry, Issac just to name a few, nowadays I don't bother with any of the new stuff because even if 1 song sounds ok (and thats a long shot) the rest tends to be crap. I'm blessed to have been brought up in the era when a quality product meant something not just making money.

  • @mrlove1961  I HEAR YA LOUD A CLEAR ON THAT RESPONSE MY FRIEND AS I TOO GREW FORTUNATELY IN THOSE TIME WHEN MUSIC EXPRESSED BOTH THE SOCIO/POLITICAL CLIMATE AS WELL AS STAYED TRUE TO GIVING US THAT QUALITY YOU MENTIONED THAT WE CAME TO COUNT ON AND OF COURSE TO BOOT, DYNAMIC LOVE SONGS THAT THE WHOLE FAMILY COULD LISTEN TO WHICH EXPRESSED EXPLICITLY THE WAY YOU FELT ABOUT A LOVE INTEREST IN A WAY YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO IN YOUR OWN WORDS! THAT'S WHAT REAL LOVE SONGS AND MUSIC WAS AND IS ALL ABOUT!

  • They were more then certain artist back in the day' All the albums were hits. Every song on both sides. SOUL IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @mrlove1961 I feel you brotha, this bullshit they put out now is just giving a bad name to the ORIGINALS...and to the MUSIC...

  • @mrlove1961 You are definitely displaying the wisdom of your years.

  • yes indeed ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVVVVEEERRRR MADE.maurice white,philp bailey verdeen white live long....

  • Great song!!!!!!!

  • THIS SONGS MAKES ME THINK ABOUT MY SUGGAH MAMA !

  • This music is TIMELESS!!!! It sounds just as hot today as it did when it was first released. This is such sensual music, but songs like this can say so many things that sometimes we are at a loss to say in our own words. I grew up listening to soul, R&B and disco in the 70's and 80's, and I still listen to it today! That was a golden time for music, with so many good groups and songs....soooo superior to what passes for "music" today! :-/

  • If you don't like this you need to listen again!! And again and again....

  • SPIRITUAL MUSIC BEFORE IT'S TIME. 

  • People must understand because we dont listin to it on there time we dont know nothing about it cause we the youngsters we listin to all old school music hell we use it nuff to simple from it alot I know you all agree.

  • The GOOD OLD DAYS OF R&B!!!!

  • "Love has found its way... in my heart tonight. Would you mind...cause iiii Neva eva eva felt this way....in my heart before... would you miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind yea yea yea yea baby...repeat. Gonna look into eyes till you hipno tized... OH oh oh OH oh oO"

  • still does it.....the business!!!!!!!!

  • #111111111111111111111Whatcha know about this music ..............here?????????

  • Oh my my my

  • ...Not at all ;- )

  • One of my all time favorites!!

  • E.W.F are even up to date.

  • 44 and lovin it!

  • oooohh loooooooooo-ooooovvvvvvvveeeee­ee Would you miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiinnndddddd yea yea yea yea baby oh yeah. Thats my part right there!

  • 60 and gotta have this!

  • I love it!!!! Nothin but love for my baby!!!

  • I DON'T THINK MOST PEOPLE KNOW THAT M.WHITE NOT P. BALEY IS EARTH WIND AND FIRE !!!

  • @lovethemuisc Yes, Maurice White was the heart and soul of Earth, Wind, & Fire. In my opinion, the group is not the same without him fronting them. Philip Bailey is great, but it's just not the same without Maurice.

  • wow!!

  • Steve Harvey's Anthem!!!

  • Hey al lyou Earth Wind and Fire fans: make sure you check out Kim Burrell's version of this song!!! Its awesome!!!! yall would LOVE it!!

  • I was just at a wedding last nite and I was at a table full of folks in their 40s and up. When this song came on, I was the one jammin the most...and I'm only 25. LOL

  • @swithers86 lmao I feel ya on that!! Im only 22 yrs old and I go nuts when I hear Earth Wind and Fire!! I hope people realize that not ALL us 80s & early 90s babies are dumb when it comes down to knowing where our roots in music derives from!

  • @Beyoncefan1000 i LOVE Earth Wind and Fire!!

  • @Beyoncefan1000 i agree i think today's older generation underestimate the younger generation sometimes. Not every young person is into the generic mainstream music today.I have been listening to this type of music all my life and once you get into soul music it is hard to get away from it.

  • @delirous8 you aint neva lying lol thank you!

  • @Beyoncefan1000 you are welcome and thank you for saying that.

    It does not matter how old you are you can still from everyone.

  • @Beyoncefan1000 Well said 

  • @Beyoncefan1000 I am right there with you. I don't listen to modern music and many times I feel that God really meant for me to be born a few decades back so that I would have had the chance to see Luther, Marvin and all the soul crooners in concert. :(

  • @Beyoncefan1000 word

  • @Beyoncefan1000 Thats great!

  • @Beyoncefan1000 no not really i love all the old 80'S even 70"s songs and 1992 is my year ppl call me a old soul but i just love music period

  • @Beyoncefan1000 So much love & respect to ya. My son of 25 also enjoys many of the older songs because of the deeper meanings and the excellent melodies.

  • smooth as smoke from the Sistine Chapel. EW&F at the finest.

  • love this song

  • That fool Steve Harvey has ruined this song for me, everytime I hear it I lol. He's so silly!

  • this is my favorite song. I close my eyes & think I'm in love...

  • Thanks to Steve Harvey "kings of comedy" I feel I was born in thr wrong era (80s) I should been born in the (70s)

  • Comment removed

  • @MrTaz081

    My mistake, true. Thank you

  • If youre here.. you probably was born cuz of this song

  • Great Music

  • ok an amazing beautiful black girl posted this in 2008 and its 2011 comments are still coming in!!!! Oh Yes We Love It!! Once Again!!

  • The Elements..

  • love it! wish i was alive when this song came out...

  • This was before my time (80's baby) but Earth, Wind and Fire is one of my favorite old school groups

  • Would you mind, if i looked in your ass and got hypnotized? XD

  • i am so excited i get carried away ewf is so hot always been great love you guys.

  • bobbie bell would like my favorite groups these guys taught me how to sing

  • "Sure your right, epcdave!"  Now occupy that!

  • My group! as a kid read all the lyrics in the sleeve of the albums. Took it to heart. Remembered to respect women when I was older. Lead my life in a positive way. Then when i made mistakes try to make it better. Just sayin. I hope this world today will figure it out.

  • @epcdave ....that's what they intended with their music. the love generation of the late 60's.

  • Comment removed

  • 'This is how true music should sound. Soothing and uplifting to the ears, mind, heart and soul.

    The lyrics of Earth Wind & Fire will give aid and understanding to anyone who is willing to open their heart and listen.

    The rubbish that is nowadays being thrown at us is merely to confuse the already worried minds. Keep up hope and learn to listen to what is true and pure. Earth Wind & Fire helped me through life and with hard times coming worldwide i'd advise more people to listen and learn.

  • I was 8 when All n' All came out and I begged my parents for the album. At first they were understandably reluctant; how many 8 year olds want 'mature' music like this?? So when I first put it on the old RCA Hi-Fi in our living room, I knew then that I'd be a musician.

  • A VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG......

  • this is just a thought in my opinon . can you guys please stop with the thumbs up thing its middleschoolish just my opinon

  • @hahaitzhaha SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH U KNOW ABOUT GOOD MUSIC!! UR PROBABLY THE LIKE THE TRASH MAKE NO SENSE MUSIC!!! JUST MY OPINION JACK!!!

  • @REDBIRDS03 im just saying . why do we have to say thumbs up . you dont have to get all middle school on me

  • quite upset that I wasnt around to appreciate this music, at the time it was appreciated, altho timeless, it's not produced anymore :/

  • An appropriate song for such a difficult time for many in the world. Love's Holiday can be declared on anyday and be protrayed in many ways!

  • THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER MADE

    

  • Need MORE this type of music in the music industrial today!!!!!

  • wooooooo lawd lawd lawd.....

  • I'm only 6 years old, and I'm a complete cunt, but I think this song is awesome.

  • this is when music was GREAT,you dont hear anything like this anymore

  • aaaaalllllllllll shit, please tell me yall feel me on this....... would u minnnnnndddd?

  • Love this song :-) This rocks big time

  • Steve Harvey 

  • @05tonytin fuck steve harvey

  • @solohoops07 this is not a video for odd future fans, go watch yonkers

  • @solohoops07 Lmao! 

  • Maurice White is a true musical legend. So, I wish and pray that he be healed completely! Make a miraculous recovery!! Come back in full form!!

  • Only they could make a 240 p video feel so good.

  • This is when music was music. My father used to play this all the time.

  • Wolfeyes & Ladyhawk 4ever in love.

  • Love this song. It takes me back to Mellow Moods on WYLD/FM in The Big Easy. Some of the best music to grace the air waves.

  • Let's call it for what it is - simply one of the greatest love jams in the history of music!!!! "Would you mind?" What a hook!!!!!

  • love <3... i miss when music sounded so heart-felt that it made you feel it in your own heart.

  • I love this song. Somebody should remake this tune. But it probably would never sound the same. Maurice White was a great vocalist

  • @eugenec770 ....i agree but you are right. no one could compare.

  • @eugenec770 the awesome female group Perri re-made this song in the 90s. It's a fantastic version! Take a listen.

  • Thank you, ablackgirl1986!

  • Or like Love's Holiday (would you mind)

  • @MrCri777 Love's Holiday is the title --- Took me a while to learn the title of this great song!

  • Is it Loves Holiday or Would you mind (the title)?

  • I'm just 29 years old .does'nt stop me from rolling a spliff up throwing this in the magnum riding out to pick a beutiful black woman up to hit downtown atlanta.

  • Luv this song.

  • Me... Puts on this song, then

    Me... Honey, you know its date night.

    Wife: Show you right.

  • Maurice White masrermind and the chemistry is from the heart and it makes me SMILE Everything they ever did was CLASSIC EARTH, WIND AND FIRE ARE DYNAMIC IN TOTAL CONTROL/

  • This is just one of those tracks that just makes you SMILE!!!! CLASSIC AWESOME EARTH WIND AND FIRE at their BEST!!!!

  • The all time classic........This is what romance is all about. They will never make music better than this.
