  • I don't mean to sound mean but if another clueless person calls EWF a disco band I will scream. Please stop classifying all black music in the 70's as disco. Just because you could dance to it didn't make it disco. It also does a great disservice to excellent musicians such as EWF who were multidimensional and multicultural with their music.

  • As a long time fan of this great band, Id like to offer up my Gratitude: To Maurice for holding the group together for so many years and his ability to conduct so many great songs, songs that are so filled with love, hope, and inspiration; to Charles Stepney for being there through the mid 70s, offering guidance, leadership, and direction; and to Andrew Woolfolk, Johnny Graham, and Verdine White who always played with such a great passion and attitude Keep the Spirit and may God Bless.

  • @Scentedflowers so true... if one listens to their ealry works...its soo drenched in Jazz...they experimented with african rythems..etc etc..

    Those were the days..they created their own style..one of the best bands ever

  • Anyway, "shut up piece of shit" proves nothing but your level of maturity - Lol. Now, EWF is not a disco band, period. The classification of music by genre is silly and meaningless. Arbitrary categories such as R&B, Rock, Disco, Synth Pop and Country are fostered by schools, perpetuated by fools creates havoc in the business of arts and tends to oppress artists. Even legitimate distinctions such as opera serve only a limited purpose. I hope you were able to comprehend this information today.

  • Lol.

  • @WatleyConceptsInc1 shut up piece of shit. ewf songs are disco, some are funk, some are soul, some are synthpop. ewf is the greatest disco and funk band and there's no space for you here. the uninformed is you. when you don't know, don't talk.

  • @askadetra Are you just trying to annoy people on this page? Now, you know those songs are not disco. Besides, why categorize it anyway? Music & EWF in particular are universal. There are deeper things going on here. You should really check it out, as you are extremely uninformed. No offense

  • Looooooooove EWF, and I don't care What it's called, bring it on! :-)))

  • @PracticeMakesAwesome

    Yes but disco was such a minor part of their music.......Yet I agree with you better to listen than not listen........however, if one is only listening to the few disco hits of EWF, then your are missing out on some awesome music that is truly the essence of EWF....

  • @mjjcng8958

    Also "Spirit" A spiritual tribute to Charles Stepney by Larry Dunn and Philip Bailey.

  • @Scentedflowers they did do disco. It's silly to call them a disco band...but i would rather people listen to them and call them a disco band than not hear the truth of maurice & the gang...

  • if you havent heard of charles stepney and are a fan of ewf then you should look him up this song was dedicated to him. but he died of a heart attack before it was released
