you got that in reverse, hiphop is dead without the kats your mentioned. Hiphop is modern theives. They actually were more creative then any hiphop act out AND they played their own music AND were more original. You can't say that for hiphop

This was a very underrated tune....I used to play it at parties and people would asked if that was EWF's new tune....After a while I said F-it and told them yes it was...lol

**Sampled used in LL COOL J - "Murdergram"**

I just came home from the war(Nam), music was still great and soon after this group ..EWF and their album came out; WOW was this group " the joint"....... Not only could they sing, but could play instruments and had that special funk as well...... They were like the opening of the 70s and it's great music to come ( Kool & the Gang, Isaac Hayes, Barry White,Tower of Power etc.) just to many to name. Music could never be any better!!! So What In The HELL Happen..........!!!!!

@nubonyx, ah yes my friend and when you think about who their contemporaries where at that time for them to have had the incredible influence they did is truly outstanding!
-
@Soulman785 , indeed my friend. I fist heard this album at my brothers crib back when I was eleven years old and I've been hooked on EWF ever since then. But, back then EWF was magnificent!
-
This is their first album with the original members and the writing of Don Whitehead, Wade Flemmons and the bands heart, soul and founder, Maurice White. Truly wonderful.

Most people like the later, Pop R&B stuff that EWF did, but I'm more into their earlier Warner Brothers period stuff. More funky, and not as commercial sounding. I think Maurice White was still drumming on this record, continuing where he left off as Ramsey Lewis' drummer during the late 60s

I agree but the sales relegated them, at best, to regional air play and cult status. Remember, they used to be on small venues like college campuses and the coffee house circuit.I think they went pop but sustained their musical integrity and quality for quite some time.

james brown, p funk, ohio players, bar kays, meters, sly stone, hendrix, undisputed truth, gil scott heron, kool and the gang, isaaac hayes all should be thankful for hip hop.

Great Year for music!! Marvin Gaye "What's Going On?" being the standard for the year in r&b. I believe EWF "Need of Love" came out in 1971. This lp was 1970, their very first.
