[Sovereign45]

look ath the album cover and study the metaphysics behind it, and the name earth wind and fire three of the five elements (water and ether being the other two) this is not by mistake but b design lets wake up they are telling you that in the music just listen.

[rockyfan1011]

[Tina196712]

17 dislikes? what the hell is wrong with people? No one in their right mind would not like this song!!!!!

[muainasoifua]

[TheLiamDude]

Does anyone else thing that the beginning of Jungle Boogie by K&TG sounds like the intro to this? Or is it just me? :)

[ultimateguitar553]

I wish black people would make this music again instead of rap. Because its actual music!!!!

[thecoolestdad]

EWF stayed at the Days Inn that I worked at back in the 70's.I met Maurice White and also one of the Emotions too.Maurice told me they had some down time and wanted to stay there a few days and rest.I said that is cool.No one else knew who they were and nobody knew they were there.I also saw Phillip Bailey but I don't remember talking to him.The Emotion girl was very friendly and nice to me.I am a drummer and this was a highlight of my life by meeting these cool people.

[magiaerebea2011]

CHYEAH!!!! This song (and Ai no corrida) are amazing classics....Danny Choo, Thank you for introducing me to a lost era of music. *bows*

[dreadtodred]

love it!! hard hitting and to the point, locked in baby.Todays artist have a lot to learn

[doc2skate]

So thankful to have grown up with this music. I'm glad today's listeners are discovering the stuff from the 70's. Probably the main reason the music HAD to be good was because there was no video games, cable t.v., or internet. People were great at conversations (we listened to each other and didn't mind if all you got was a "contact" high). We spoke to the brothers and sisters like you hear on these albums.

[2011TazmanianDevil]

This is music that can't be replaced.... we need to get back to this....

[Bjfreeze1]

I;m with you bra. This classical stuff can never be replaced!!!!!!!

[severrnijKGU]

YEAHHHHH! heard this on the radio. i likedddddd it. 35 years without it passing my ears. why not sooner? :P''''''''''''''''''''''''''''­''''''''''''''  I wonder how many people my age (24) are on a musical journey, trying to find the new hits the hard way, because the shit that's on the modern stations today makes me want to claw my ears off of my head.

[sonofyah2726]

Song really expresses the urgentcy of Today's LIFE, with all the corruption running rampede....I

would like to just get AWAY !!!

[DroiidLife]

16 people doesn't have a soul

[ogrebattle22763]

Oh yes this is vintage EW&F - The arrangements in this song blow me away!

[butchcosby1970]

If you guys want to hear more great hot bands from the seventies, check out... B.T Express, Brass Construction, SOS Band, Ohio Players, commodors, Kool And The Gang, Parliment, Roy Ayers...... So many to name. These are the REAL music that every-one has sampled from. So get ready for no Auto-tune or some drum machine. just real people popping blisters and singing until they get horse. these are there founders in funk music. I know your gonna appreciate music even more once you hear these bands.

[schiazzacmable]

now this was music!!!!

[RicercarUPSB]

@schiazzacmable WAS? It IS music :D

[c11393]

This music is just the way it is supposed to be! Real music, no thugs needed!

These are real musicians playing real musical instruments. This music is in a class all by itself! Remember the song, can't touch this! This is real music!

Live music that you can go to a concert and hear everything for real!

You can't top that with anything. The real thing is what it really is for real!

[AndreRedd1Empire]

@319am1 100% Truth

[failsafecommisioned]

@319am1 Anyone can enjoy music, regardless of the race of the artist or the listener.

[Ellie1491]

[kjchicago1]

Beloyd Taylor & Peter Cor wrote this 1976 masterpiece for EWF and in 1977, the Salsoul Orchestra recorded a version of this

[masonchapman050]

[Waiauboi808]

[sarahajike]

I totally agree with @TerryMcGuire89

i'm pretty much the same and I'm 20.

[D84D]

that fukin' bassline is sick with the drums right there. The genius of Maurice White. Your a bad bad man. Love you miss you!! You kept me young from the begining of my young life.

[sweetlatincaramel]

I miss this kind of music..today the music they play is sampled garbage!

[rarafrom215]

dont we all just wanna getaway?

[yahshuatwo]

Greatest band ever!! They were on the another plane (Metaphysically). Damn, the horns and bass-line are euphoric. EWF fused all the music elements from around world: South America, Africa, Asia

[Heartlover1717]

Thank you for posting - I came here to find this song because it has been continuously ON MY MIND lately - Someone is reaching out to me through the message in these lyrics...thanks again!

[cleopatrabonz]

Michael Harris was the one that started playing this kind of "staccato" style of horn playiing not sure if I spelled that right ..but he was arranger for the Phoenix Horns

[cleopatrabonz]

Michael Harris was the one that started playing this kind of "stattacostyle of horn playiing not sure if I spelled that right ..but he is the Phoenix Horn leader

[SuperYankee61]

11/11/77 Earth Wind & Fire, Springfield Civic Center, Springfield, MA: The general admission audience in Springfield was at least 90% black, leaving only a smattering of us wannabe funky white folk. And, as it should always be, color mattered not. The Springfield groove was on no matter who was in the house. It was totally inspiring to see boys and girls, men and women of different color and backgrounds all unify for a common cause. I felt privileged to be part of this live music dynamic.

[wookee1001]

@SuperYankee61 I WAS AT THAT CONCERT. DROVE DOWN FROM WORCESTER WITH DAVID, KEKE, PAM FISHER AND MYLIL BRO CHUCKY. HELL OF A SHOW.

[cleopatrabonz]

larry dunn was tight on those keyboards not too mention the amazing phoenix horns!

[Bomburk]

Would like to hear the instruments only, anyone know where I can fin such version? genial song!

[craneraaudiovideo]

hell yeah

[miss09lauren]

Greatest band of all time!

[DaveWollenberg]

EW&F hit #12 in Billboard, 10-9-76. God bless ya, for postin' it. God bless ya, brother Phillip, Thanx!

FUNK DISCO-SOUL-REAL R N' B RULES !!!!!

[artistsmooth1]

That is so funny, and so true, how could the music industry go from this classic well put together music to the crap that's out their now?

[atttd44]

TO THE ELEVEN WHOSE DISLIKED GETAWAY!!!!!!!!!

[muzikkraz]

Whatcha, whatcha, what you know! Undeniably EW&F's greatest album: SPIRIT!!!

[cragmac1000]

Awww this so fun-kay

[winpointmedia]

I listen to this song just to listen to Verdine's bass lines

[damntheman12345]

aya (nightdrugs remix) - nujax??? i think so

[whoiskcwhat]

rete-strak!

[Bassically68]

great grooves set up for the bass! My current fav band to play along with. it's funny how 920 people like this and 10 don't. Pretty big difference, right?

[MISSION315]

LOVED EM SINCE 1972 ,ALWAYS WILL ,BRILLIANT TIMES !!!!!!!!!

[MrBassmanbongo]

fuck of with the advert

[jn5905]

EWF is awsome but what really made them legends as well was the TOP or tower of power.

[muzikkraz]

If only new musicians would get a way like this song does!

[onebadmutha44]

The Greatest Band Of All Time, Earth, Wind & Fire.

[MrRager712]

Whats the deal with fighting over musical eras i dont like any particular era of music.I enjoy GOOD music.

[acobaco]

Look at the sky, God is dancin' right now listening to EWF

[HenkiVanSloots]

@acobaco Fuck yea he is!

[shieldsuma]

horn section is tighter than condom

[deathslayer101]

if i had one wish, i would want this to play where ever i went

[sweetpea3339]

I remember this song while looking for Ravinia Mansion in "Oak Cliff" Dallas...... Good tmes and memories!

[Raincitywarrior]

851 people didnt get away 

[curioussandy]

Man this was 80s DISCO and I loved it, these were my favorite to dance to! I love their music!!!

[edithmoning]

Love the music

[jokegarbage]

Its nice to get some funk in my diet sometimes

[patrick9648]

Here's what we need to do. get rid of the trumpets and put in a synthisizer. replace the drummer with a drum machine. The vocals need to be processed through autotune, and we can use auto harmonize for the background vocals so the singers don't have to learn the parts. finally we need a "rent a thug" to do some rap over the musical interludes. If we do all that, maybe we can get this on the radio. Heck, it might even be a hit.

[curtissschannel]

@patrick9648 hahahahaha!

[greenstreet1955able]

@patrick9648 Don't forget the "crack" !

[ksteiger]

@patrick9648 Rent a thug. I LOVE IT!!! YO! People used to actually write lyrics that did not have the words beeyatch in it. lol.

[lordbemylight]

@patrick9648 LOL You're kidding, right?

[greenstreet1955able]

@patrick9648 It WAS on the radio, quite a bit. How old are you ???

[winoruful]

@patrick9648

I disagree... it is perfect the way it is. Earth Wind & Fire is a legend group and RAP can not touch it. Maybe rap can learn from it but not enhance it.

[JamieBind]

@winoruful Yes, because that obviously isn't sarcasm/satire.

[BIGPREZY]

@patrick9648

I know Its sad ...and Make sure his jeans are slung down to he's knees LOL

[vanbeers3]

The real thing whoooooooooo Yes WE've Got SoUL.

[Chicago10281]

Beloyd Taylor & Peter Cor wrote this and the Salsoul Orchestra recorded a remake of it in 1977

[nealdoggy]

Love it. Check out Space Capone, a new band that's heavily influenced by EW&F, real music by real musicians.

[Mineretta2012]

Every now and again you got to GET AWAY. The reality can get to you sometimes.

[mr313biggz]

EWF is my fave band.....love ALL kinds of music......

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

Love the commercial and the song

[Bopsable]

..... and can sing and play those instruments live without a duff note!

[Hamster307]

First 8 seconds = funk orgasm

[musicmanro]

GREAT MUSICIANS REAL MUSIC THAT IS WHAT I MISS 

[russ6925]

This is the real deal. All the samplers can be fed, but you will never even think of the

reality of this real music.... it is beyond unreal!

[mhendrickson26]

No sampling, no pre-programmed crap, no remixes... just pure musicianship... yeah.

[jookinmus]

@mhendrickson26 RIGHT ON!!!

[feetube1]

BADDEST band in the land - - Ever!!

[chucku00]

Virtuosity applied in Funk music... I'm pretty sure that in 500 years people will still appreciate EWF as much as Beethoven or Chopin !

[grover86]

@chucku00 When isn't virtuosity applied in funk?

[chucku00]

@grover86 There are a lot of funk bands who have good musicians, but no other is as complete as EWF in terms of cohesion, and funk can be something way more messy... you know the origin of the word "funk", don't you ?

[Rummut71]

@SolidEve: For this white dude, ass kicking jams are color blind... I love true funk. Along with prog, metal, rock, etc. If the shit moves you then it moves you. EW&F are awesome and succeed at making me move in my chair everytime I spin them! =)

[MaximusRelaximus]

if any of the nine dislikes weren't related to the ad, i'm coming to beat them all senseless.

[SolidEve]

Leave it up to white people to come on here and post racist comments instead of enjoying the great music.....when will racisim die????

[mortum000]

@SolidEve dude its a troll, u get mad thats exactly what he wants, dont feed the trolls.

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

@SolidEve it is dead... but ignorance is FOREVAAAHH

[yancy808]

techonology has made music easy for people these days. this is when music was real and it took talent to put it together. not saying that some producers are not good these days. but music from about 1980 and back was the last of the big group soul and funk bands. a time when music came from the heart and it had story that dealt with all parts of peoples lives and all could relate no mater what color or lifestyle. I wish we could go back

[zcg3]

I'm white...but now I'm black & blue...for dancing too much!

[OrlyDudeGuy]

Dayton's "Movin Up" reminds me of this. They're similar and upbeat.

[BLAKTOOTH46]

Much love to EWAF and the person who put this up. 1 of my favs. Real music, just brilliant!

[downtownninthward]

southern university marching band 1993....sounds just like that...check for urself...........trumpet section all day ask jackson st.

[fletcherbenton]

Why do you assume someone who doesn't like this is racist? Just because they have no taste in music doesn't make them a racist. Don't hate brother....

[emmettk]

I know EWF fans know how to appreciate tight instrumentation. If that is you, I would like you to check out a band from the 70's called Brainstorm- a song called Hangin' On. The album was called Stormin'. These guys could really play, but people slept on them. Tight precision with horns, and their bass and drums were off the chain. Tell me what you think.

[DJMichaelMandara]

@emmettk Their song "This Must Be Heaven" is one of my all-time favorites. Instrumentation is bananas! That whole composition is ridiculous, but the bass on that tune....whew! You gotta really search to find this kinda work these days.

[mikeplaysguitar22]

I'm a 19 year old white guy who loves Earth Wind and Fire. I have converted many of my dorm mates away from modern pop and back to EWF, Steely Dan, and the like. This music is too good to ever die out.

[yahshuatwo]

@mikeplaysguitar22 Your comments are very enlightening! You're showing forth sound WISDOM for your age. EWF, Steely Dan you can't any better than them..

[www41WorldUSAcom]

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE---"GETAWAY"

[ChowMeinChowdown]

I totally didn't realise Drew Sidora sampled this for her song. Until now.

[Maccieholland]

Great band! very good, i'm 47 and play it every day!

[scanlessfool]

I was fortunate enough to see Earth Wind & Fire on this past September at the Hollywood Bowl and it was everything you could imagine. Amazing venue and it's that much better when you are there with a crowd that has a genuine appreciation of the musicians and the instruments. They were everything I expected and more!

Modern music will never compare to this.

[757LeftSeat]

Come on guys - seriously! These "X," "Y" and "Z" generation somethings don't have a snowballs chance on one of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport's runways in mid July, to ever be able to appreciate this kind of real "instrumentation" and "vocals" performance. My goodness, give them a break. They can barely get their heads around 'Gaga/Bieber' - let alone Earth Wind & Fire. These are waters that run a bit too deep, I'm afraid.

Same with Kool & The Gang - they don't know HOW to appreciate it.

[tattuyou]

Im 50. I'm white. Earth, Wind and Fire are one of my all time favorite music groups FUNK, ROCK or OTHERWISE. These guys were THE band to see back in the day. I mean listen to these guys. What chops...masters....

[Mobra50]

@tattuyou I'm 49, white, and I subscribe.

"Spirit" and "I Am" - possibly best albums ever.

[Herethereevery]

Genius

[TheChevaldefeu]

OUI MERCI GENIAL

[1Skyforce]

A Masterpiece!! Great song by a fantastic band!! I remember listening to this at USAF basic training at Lackland. Beautiful memories. Peace everyone!!

[farcus12]

can we stop talking about other kinds of music and why they suck and just listen to the song and why we like it

[kenyaloveful]

my jamn!

[XxNeroxKyriexX]

Oh one day where will someone just COME DOWN and give us back this beautiful music...I'm gonna hold my breath on it until it happens, dammit!

[rushdine212]

I had one of the most Beautiful Gurls of the '70s! Kisses to you Haley!

[Soulman785]

The Greatness of this song speaks for itself. @wvburkert, GREAT POINT!

[xDJROZx]

I'm just going to say this cause I'm sick of it. What does race have to do with whether or not this song is good? Judge the music, not the persons skin. Earth, Wind, and Fire, is one of the greatest bands ever formed. Their live shows were incredible, and their music was absolutely mesmerizing.....they were truly gifted artists! Awesome song! Thanks for posting it!

[paulabvr]

A great first thing in morning song. : )

[MicheleSbig]

best bass groove !!

[xtrasharp08]

this was playin in step up the first one. =)

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #79 song of '76. Hard to believe that 9 folks don't like this bad jam, right, gang? EW&F hit #1 soul, #12 pop in Billboard. God bless ya, brother Philip!

[6xSnake6x]

Youtube needs an auto repeat button

[xtrasharp08]

@6xSnake6x  ah totally agree.

[MrFreezway]

[MsCargento]

JAMMMMMMM....WHAT A GREAT JAM...ACTUALLY IM SPEEECHLESS OVER THIS SONG....AMAZING.

[plentyone]

Ahh Yes, one the various times seeing them. Remember when they closed the show with this cut. Both drummers and the keyboard player where in Pyramid Structures. And they closed up as the song was ending. AWESOME...SHOWMANSHIP IN FULL EFFECT...

[creaturebotman]

people don't say this much these days but form by era this song is..

BAAAAAAD!
