They were more versitile & consistent than Kool was. EWF had a run in the 70s that matches up very well with the best, most consistent artists of the decade - Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Zep, Stones, P-Funk, and Steely Dan.I agree, they have good stuff. Especially the older stuff. Same as Kool & the Gang.
horns are what's missing from music these daysLove those horns!
LOVE that trackTheir live version of the song Reasons is what turned me onto the sax.
Yeah but what we need is more COWBELLhorns are what's missing from music these daysLove those horns!
Just personal preference I guess, but I like Kool & the Gang's early jazz ensemble/quiet storm stuff the most. Both are really good though.They were more versitile & consistent than Kool was.

Don't know about the sax, but that is one slow dance that led to the secks back in the day. Last song of the night, 10 minutes of grindin'...You picked your partner wisely..Their live version of the song Reasons is what turned me onto the sax.
It's all good. I love Kool too (early to mid 70s funk is tops for me). They had about 4 different incarnations where they didn't sound like the same band as the others at all. EWF could do all of the stuff Kool did across their entire career on one album.

They are on Kimmel tonight. Praying they bust that one out. Every day that goes by, I'm nearing the opinion it's the greatest R&B song ever.Such a damn great song. Holds up beautifully 36 years later.
Planning on seeing them this summer at Foxwoods Casino.
