Q

The legacy of Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White

Tom Allen, host of Shift on CBC Radio 2, joins Shad to discuss Maurice White's legacy.

Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White, whose horn-driven band sold more than 90 million albums and had a successful solo career behind-the-scenes as a producer, died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 74.

Earth, Wind & Fire was one of the most innovative, influential, and tightest groups of all time. They were known for a string of hits including SeptemberShining Star and Boogie Wonderland.

Without Earth Wind and Fire, Janelle Monae, Wyclef Jean, A Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, and many more great artists simply wouldn't sound the way they do.
