Sun Goddess

Released

After spending the Sixties making acoustic trio music (and having hit records in the process), pianist Ramsey Lewis shifted toward funk and fusion in the ’70s. On this 1974 album he reunited with his former drummer, one Maurice White, then leading the titanically successful Earth, Wind & Fire. Several EW&F members, including White, his bassist brother Verdine, saxophonist Don Myrick, and vocalist Philip Bailey appear on Sun Goddess, making it a brilliant cross between that band’s slick, jazzy funk and the keyboard-centered grooves of Lewis’s material.
