When Maurice White was formulating his vision for Earth, Wind and Fire—the band name taken from elements associated with his astrological sign of Sagittarius—the singer/songwriter wanted to create an ensemble the likes of which had never been seen or heard before.
Maurice White who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, died in 2016. But Houston audiences will have a chance to see Bailey, original EWF member Verdine White , and classic member Ralph Johnson in the dozen-man lineup on August 24 at The Woodlands Pavilion. Frequent tour mates Chicago co-headline, and after each band’s set both groups come together for a grand finale., his own 2014 autobiography, Bailey reflected on his life in and out of music.
When told that my son Vincent once related that his favorite song of all time was “Fantasy,” Bailey launches into a story he still recalls vividly about the day he recorded his vocals for the track. The band was on tour when it was time to film, so they set up a rehearsal in a ballroom in Colorado that was filmed for the performance footage. They then recorded the actual track in a studio the next day.
