    Maurice White, co-founder of Earth, Wind & Fire passed away at 74

    He he fought a long battle with Parkinson's, and died in his sleep overnight. EWF is one of two bands I absolutely obsess over...my heart is broken. RIP, Maurice White

    Oh No!

    That truly is sad. Maurice White had amazing range, and he was definitely one of the main elements of the band (pun intended). EWF is one of my favorite bands of all time, too, cajuncocoa.

    Go with God, Maurice.

    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

    Just found this on YouTube, ...put together and posted by Maurice White's brother (and fellow EWF band member) Verdine White. It's beautiful.
