E is for Earth, Wind & Fire

Before Michael Jackson, there was EWF. They did funk, they did R&B, and they danced their asses off.  Starting in the '60s and extending into the next four (!) decades, nobody outworked them on stage, as this clip from a 1990 concert in Japan shows.

I actually saw these guys in concert in San Francisco at a show headlined by Rod Stewart. Weirdest pairing ever. (Topped only by Jethro Tull and the Beach Boys one summer outside Washington, D.C. Seriously.)

"September" is one of their signature songs. If you're in the mood, check these out, too: "Let's Groove" and "Shining Star"

If the video below isn't rendering properly, try this link: "September"
