Earth, Wind & Fire – Spirit

One of EWF’s better albums and one of its most uplifting, due mainly to Philip Bailey’s singing on tracks like Imagination. The entire album puts the soulful vocals to the fore and the production on the album is typically great. Charles Stepney, who had co-produced or collaborated with Maurice White numerous times, died during the production of the album and it is devoted to him. Spirit was released in 1976, follows the live album Gratitude and That’s the Way of the World and moves us into the disco ahem late 70’s EWF period. Double platinum.
