As phenomenally popular as Earth, Wind & Fire was from the mid-'70s to the early '80s, it's easy to forget that the band was hardly an overnight success. With Head to the Sky -- EWF's fourth album overall, second with Philip Bailey, and second for Columbia -- Maurice White's very spiritual and ambitious brand of soul and funk was starting to pay off commercially. The Latin-influenced "Evil" became the soulsters' biggest hit up to that point, and material ranging from the hauntingly pretty title song (which boasts one of Bailey's finest performances ever) to the jazz fusion gem "Zanzibar" is just as rewarding. The lineup White unveiled with Last Days and Time was working out beautifully; Bailey was clearly proving to be a major asset. Also worth noting is the presence of singer Jessica Cleaves, who left after this album and, several years later, resurfaced in George Clinton's eccentric female group the Brides of Funkenstein. EWF still had what was basically a cult following, but that was beginning to change with Head to the Sky. And when EWF took off commercially in 1974 and 1975, many new converts went back and saw for themselves just how excellent an album Head to the Sky was.

Eight-time Grammy Award-winning group Earth, Wind & Fire is adding another first to its long list of achievements: a holiday album. The aptly titled Holiday will be released Oct. 21 through Sony Music Entertainment’s Legacy Recordings division.
The 13-track set, available now for pre-order at Amazon, is comprised of such seasonal fare as “Winter Wonderland," “Sleigh Ride,” “Joy to the World” and “Jingle Bell Rock.” Rounding out the mix are two songs inspired by well-known EWF classics: “Happy Seasons” (the 1975 album track “Happy Feelin’”) and “December” (1978’s “September”). The latter song features lead singer/co-founder Philip Bailey dueting with the original master vocals of fellow co-founder Maurice White.
“We stretched the envelope a bit on several songs, changing the harmonic structures and rhythms --kind of what we did with [the Beatles’] ‘Got to Get You Into My Life,’” says Bailey. “It’s Christmas songs but still EWF-esque.” He and EWF music director Myron McKinley produced Holiday with assistance from Philip Bailey Jr.
“It’s our special twist,” adds co-founder Verdine White. “We never thought about doing a holiday album before. But Legacy/Sony asked and so have our fans, so we hope the audience likes it.”
Holiday marks EWF’s 21st studio album and second for Legacy. The band’s first Legacy project was 2013’s Now, Then & Forever. Featuring new EWF music for the first time since 2005, the set debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 -- the group’s highest-charting album since Raise! peaked at No. 5 in 1981.
