I think about you every time I here Dinah Washington-which I have playing in JazzMasters...all the links are right under the global chatbox there to your right. And again, welcome.

'Last Days In Time' finds Earth,Wind & Fire at a certain peak of sorts.This is the bands debut album for Columbia and also the debut of singer Phillip Bailey in their band.Not only is his voice in peak form but EWF have obviously not quite let go of the ensemble-style jazzy funk they'd patented from their debut on Warner Brothers two years earlier (which is even rawer then THIS).That sound is most evident on the communal funk jams of "Time Is On Your Side",the wonderful "Remember The Children" and the brilliant instrumental workout "Power".And even while Bailey sings a couple pop covers in "Make It With You" and "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" Earth,Wind & Fire didn't get any hits from this album.Their sound was still far too eclectic and drew upon too many world and jazz music elements to really get over on the pop charts.So for a glimpse into EWF's pre-superstar days WITH Phillip Bailey this album is a good place to go.You certainly won't find anything from it on Columbia's 1978 greatest hits album 'The Best Of Earth,Wind & Fire' and even on more extensive compilations these songs are often skimmed over.So for any EWF fan I'd say this album is pretty essential.
