Dwight E. Brooks delves into the profound essence of Earth, Wind & Fire's iconic album, "That's The Way of the World." In addition to conducting exclusive interviews with members Phillip Bailey and Verdine White, he explores the groundbreaking impact of this album, which shattered musical boundaries, transcended genres, and paid homage to African and American traditions. To fully grasp the significance of "That's The Way of the World," it is essential to appreciate the multifaceted vision of EWF founder Maurice White. White envisioned a band that would perform a diverse range of musical styles, all aimed at uplifting humanity. His musicians embodied a new form of Black masculinity, rooted in dignity and embracing a wide spectrum of spiritualities and healthy living practices. A comprehensive understanding of "That's The Way of the World" also necessitates an awareness of the racial dynamics and transformations within the American society during the 1960s and 1970s. Earth, Wind & Fire's landmark album "That's The Way of the World" emerged as a beacon of hope, delivering messages that were deeply needed at the time. It did not provide explicit instructions on how to live, but rather encouraged listeners to embark on a journey of self-actualization. The songs evoke a longing, a thirst for knowledge, love, exploration, sensory perception, and joy. If art has the power to shape a better future, then Earth, Wind & Fire's musical legacy, characterized by positivity and self-empowerment, will continue to contribute to personal growth and societal transformation, even as their melodies resonate for generations to come.
