    Very sorry to hear that a brilliant singer, songwriter, bandleader, producer, arranger and true musical genius has died. If you're not familiar with Earth, Wind and Fire, take it from me, it's good for what ails you.

    You will find peace of mind
    If you look way down in your heart and soul
    Don't hesitate 'cause the world seems cold
    Stay young at heart, 'cause you're never, never, never old

    Saw EWF when I was in college before they were superstars. Great band, great concept, great sound. From Verdine's steady energetic bottom, to Phillip Bailey's soaring falsetto, to the spritual and evocative lyrics, it was all Maurice's vision.

    Head to the sky, always. RIP.
