Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time Thats The Way Of The World Rated 337/500!
Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time Rated 486/500!
The 1975 album Thats The Way Of the World was also the soundtrack for a 1975 motion picture of the same name which featured some of the band members of Earth, Wind, & Fire in cameo roles. The album includes the ballad Reasons alongside the #1 US pop and R&B hit single Shining Star as well as the title track which reached #12 on the pop chart.
Before he got into African thumb pianos and otherworldly philosophizing, EWF founder Maurice White was a session drummer at Chess Studios. EWFs sixth album is make-out music of the gods.
Earth, Wind & Fire has delivered more than its share of excellent albums, but if a person could own only one EWF release, the logical choice would be Thats the Way of the World, which was the bands best album as well as its best-selling. Open Our Eyes had been a major hit and sold over half a million units, but it was World that established EWF as major-league, multi-platinum superstars. Fueled by gems ranging from the sweaty funk of Shining Star and Yearnin Learnin’ to the gorgeous ballad Reasons and the unforgettable title song, EWFs sixth album sold at least five million units. And some of the tracks that werent major hits, such as the exuberant Happy Feelin’ and the gospel-influenced See the Light, are equally powerful. There are no dull moments on World, one of the strongest albums of the 1970s and EWFs crowning achievement.
