Phillip Bailey From Earth Wind and Fire

If only those who write the music could be in the radio station studio when their songs begin to play. Its a part of music history that goes silently into a chapter to never be read. Until the on air talent takes the time to share what it was like when listeners began to respond. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Phillip Bailey from Earth Wind and Fire. With more than 90 million records sold and eight Grammy awards throughout its 40-year history, Earth, Wind & Fire has staked its claim as one of the most successful, influential, and beloved acts in music history. EWF’s lead singer, Philip Bailey joined the group’s second lineup in 1972, three years after the band’s communal inception in Chicago by revered musical mastermind Maurice White. As Maurice guided Philip and the band into a wild musical ride of mysticism, magic and high spirituality, it was Philip’s vocal prowess that helped push the band from experimental obscurity to mainstream explosion. Now, Philip Bailey offers his story of triumph and challenges—chronicling the band’s iconic rise to the top, in his memoir Shining Star, out in paperback.
