Now You Know: Earth, Wind & Fire with “Let’s Groove”

Now You Know: Earth, Wind & Fire with “Let’s Groove.”
 
“Let’s Groove” became a huge multi format worldwide smash.  Later, we would have others songs do okay for us, but nothing like “Let’s Groove.” It has only grown in popularity as the years have gone by.  “Let’s Groove gave EW&F the wheels to cross yet another bridge.  “Shining Star” was the bridge into another world; “After The Love is Gone” was a bridge into another, but to a generation of younger people born in the mid-1970’s, “Let’s Groove” would be our signature song.”-Maurice White
 
I would also add “September.” Maurice White: “September” was ARC’s first release, and an across-the-board smash and it continues to be one of EW&F’s most memorable songs.
