Earth, Wind and Fire (1979) After the Love is Gone

 One of the hit soul ensemble' greatest tracks, a change of pace it's a gentle ballad fronted by Maurice White smooth tenor that manages to also have a deep gravelly texture it eases you into the grand chorus. White's recent passing and the astonishing rate in which we are losing 70s talents seems surreal and I almost wonder who my next post will be dedicated to. All I know is each one is a deep loss to music as a lot of these 70s artists forged modern popular music and White's leadership of this vocally talented soul group was immeasurable in influencing soul artists and performers since.
