Earth, Wind & Fire’s music is universal

Questlove’s new documentary explores the spiritual magic that makes one of pop's biggest bands among its greatest

There’s an Earth, Wind & Fire song to suit every mood and memory.  Hip-hop artist and producer Anderson .Paak associates their music with childhood road trips. R&B singer-songwriter H.E.R. says her dad taught her to play the bass line of “Shining Star.”

Mine marks a turning point for the band explored midway through “Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial vs. That’s The Weight Of The World),” the new two-hour documentary from Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson. Shortly after “Shining Star” was released in 1975, it became the band’s first No. 1 hit, evidence of their audience diversifying in a way few other R&B bands of their time could claim. The band’s founder, Maurice White, and the rest of its members were ready to record their next hit.

Then their main producer and White’s mentor, Charles Stepney, suddenly died in 1976.
