Maurice White, the founding member of my favorite group of ALL TIME, passed away this morning. Everything that EWF is about is LOVE and LIGHT and TRUTH. This Faces album is the most influential album in my life and I cannot listen to it without feeling hopeful and instantly flips whatever situation I'm going through to find the higher meaning. I never got to see Maurice White sing, but when I saw EWF a few years ago at the Monster Awards in Vegas (with a full orchestra DREAM COME TRUE), they broke it down at one point and brought the Kalimba to him seated at one of the tables in front (he couldn't sing & perform because of Parkinson's disease) but when he started playing that Kalimba, his soul shined through just as brightly as if he would be singing himself. That was one of the most special moments I have ever witnessed in my life. My journey would not be the same without Earth, Wind & Fire. I love you Maurice White. Prayers and blessings to your family.
