Known for its genre-blending sound that fuses R&B, soul, funk, jazz, and pop, the band was formed in 1969 by Maurice White, the longtime leader and main songwriter who died in 2016.
The group quickly became a powerhouse, releasing 23 albums, eight of which achieved double-platinum status. With more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the best-selling bands of all time.
The band’s 1978 smash hit “September” was co-written by the late Detroiter Allee Willis, who died in 2020 at 72.
Earth, Wind & Fire won nine Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012, and became the first Black group to be inducted into the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors for their cultural impact and artistic contributions.
