Shining Stars - The Official Story of Earth Wind & Fire

As one of the all time GREAT bands with their unique sound you get the whole story on this DVD with "Reese" (Maurice) starting out as a session drummer and then joining the Ramsey Lewis Trio to the beginnings of EW&F up and to their present day album. A must have!!!

Excellent. Learned so much about the man and the group. He was very spiritual had an ideal but not to the depth described in this book.

Earth, Wind, and Fire was undoubtedly one of the greatest groups ever! This documentary was so good with hearing from the original members of the band. I wish they would all get back together again.

This video is a must for any die-hard EW&F fan. Seeing pictures of Reece as a child, in performance with the Ramsey Lewis Trio, the personal as well as rare band photos, and all of the old performance footage of "Time is on Your Side", "Power", "C'mon Children" (at California Jam) make this tape worth the money!!! It was great to hear from Freddie, Larry, Johnny, Andrew and Al and I enjoyed seeing the band in the studio with Eric Benet and Wyclef and hearing some of the new material. The tape loses its star because the 4 remaining members of the band are still upset at the lack of props they feel they deserve from the media. Believe me, your fans know how AMAZING you guys were and are, and that should matter the most. I was hoping to hear more about life on the road with the band over the last 30 years, or what it was like to have women in the band or why certain members, who weren't involved in the "wonder years" (1975-1980) came and went. What was it like recording certain albums or touring with certain artists over the years (Santana, Sly, etc.)?? What was life like outside of Earth Wind and Fire?? For a band who was very spiritual and uplifting, broke barriers and sold millions of records to millions of fans, it's unfortunate that after 30 years, they still let the media's and the record industry's ignorance get to them. Note to the director: I also thought that there was too much footage from the 1982 concert, because it seemed like almost half of the performances on this video were taken from that one show. Any coincidence that it coincides with the recent release of that video? Overall, this is a great video and if you're a fan, you'll really enjoy this!!! It may not be a time-line of the band's career, but it is a great watch.

A total have more in the about the personal lives of the group but I still enjoyed it

Like it very much

Very informative! No complaints....

Love it, This is my Favorite Group of all Time, I have everything of E.W.F. Maurice White is a Genius. And I Love it.
