I am a faithful and ardent fan of Maurice White and Earth,Wind,And Fire. They caught my attention during my junior high school years back in the seventies. I have the utmost respect for Mr.White and the vision he had when he founded the group in 1969. He had vision and maturity beyond his years,and he handled the creative and financial ends of his group effectively. He has a lot of love,peace,and positive energy giving God the glory and the praise for being the Creator and the source of his success. He and I agree about the different genres of music being recognized and used to entertain and uplift the spirits of others. I love the jazz,rhythm and blues,rock,and superb instrumentation and musicianship that he utilizes in bringing us joy,rhythm,and grooves that are great. Mr. White,you are a man of substance,character,and integrity,and you “give back” which is a quality that keeps you humble and grounded. Hats off to you,Mr.White,and the great contribution you are making to the world to make it a better place.

Do the do, Reese! You have always been my idol in music ever since I was three years old. I love the fact that we are both Sagittarians. Now that I’m sixteen I still feel the same way. You’re the best!
Your Sagittarian Sista,
Steph

I must admit that EWF music has been giving me positive energy since 30 years ago. Good to hear his voice (the interview).

Thanks for the interview with this important music pioneer. I hope he will soon produce his autobiography about his background, experiences, and philosophy. It would be of value to many throughout the world.

Norvell Campbell from Memphis Tennessee was helpful in teaching Maurice White the ropes when he was a teenager just learning how to “gig”. Norvell is one of the people who helped to make Beale Street great.

He will be celebrating his 79th birthday tomorrow, August 14th. He is in poor health and we want to make this a special day for him. If some one could convey this to Maurice, I am sure the mention of Norvell’s name will bring happy memories to him.

If you can get this message to Maurice and he can send Norvell a card or something , it would be greatly appreciated. It will make an old man very happy.

If the great Muarice White did not form his mighty group,I, trully, believe that the world or the universe, if you like, would have been robbed.
