The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1

Earth, Wind & Fire boasts a song catalog that’s like the default setting for adult-oriented R&B radio around the world. The funk-disco-rock admixture that’s earned the group its rightful place as one of the highest esteemed outfits in pop comes alive on their first greatest hits album: “Reasons,” “Can’t Hide Love,” “Shining Star,” “Got to Get You into My Life,” etc. Maurice White, Philip Bailey, Verdine White and co. added the previously unreleased “September” to this compilation—which immediately became a hit too.
