Editoral Review While their albums were occasionally spotty, the outfit achieved truly miraculous moments like the rocking "Shining Star" and the gloriously syncopated "September. Like a lot of second-wave funk bands, Earth, Wind & Fire were adept at balancing slickness and rawness. " (Come to think of it, the screaming guitar of the former was also nicely set off by its rhythmic flow. ) In a have-you-never-been-mellow decade, their positivity seemed mostly realistic. With something like their powerhouse transformation of "Got to Get You into My Life"--pulling one of the great Beatles covers out of the awful Sgt. Pepper movie--they could make even the most churlish listener believe anything truly was possible. --Rickey Wright ..
