Earth Wind and Fire "Remember the Children"

Off EWF's first LP with Columbia Records "Last Days in Time" in 1972. They were shaping their unique sound and this cut demonstrates it. Early members Roland Bautista on lead guitar, Ronnie Laws sax, and Jessica Cleaves were gone after this LP. Groovin'

jessica cleaves is'nt doing too good now she's barely living she's very ill now she recorded an album with p funk but it's unreleased you can hear 5 tracks from george clinton's family series. but hey she did'nt miss out hell p funk blew up too around 75 and they competed over who was the better band. man jessica has an interesting bio she sang with ewf and p funk.

I am praying for Jessica's return to good health. Her voice had the same effect on me as Minnie Ripperton's. Though their range's and style was different, they both had that feel.

there is truly a message in the music thanks for posting

[LamontCJ]

For me, considering the future should govern our actions today. EWF put it straight at us to peep. We're selfish and stingy spritually and it needs to stop. This cut was made over 36 years ago and is still relevant. LOL

Its all so very sad! Even the music was telling us that we needed to head for a place in the future that would be safe for our children! Where are we now? Worryin if we are screwin enough.

@nocusblob I believe she was in that group, too! She's made a musical "mark."

@justatuch I agree...Roland was a great guitarist and neither Johnny or Al could play his rhythm breaks on this cut and "Time Is Own Your Side"....

[MrKeithMJones]

absolutely the best band assembled....ahead of their time
