Edited 10 months agoAlbum Revolution #6:
By this time, "Earth, Wind & Fire" could do no wrong.....
But after dealing with the loss of Mentor and Friend "Charles "Step" Stepney", the Band took a trip to "Brazil".... Once they got back, they were not just refreshed, but inspired as well....For what was told, they were affected by the sounds they heard over there, which resulted in "All 'N All"...
I read that "Verdine" said that this was their HARDEST album to work on...1, Because, now "Maurice" was the MAIN Producer...2, the extent on the Production was just MASSIVE...From start to finish, an album so beautifully crafted that it STUNS the senses....
It starts with the 1st Crown Jewel, "Serpentine Fire"....I heard jokes about People not understanding the song, but it didn't stop them from getting on the Dance Floor when they heard it...
"Fantasy" (the 2nd Crown Jewel), once again has "Philip Bailey" doing what he does Vocally...My youngest Daughter (at 16), goes ABSOLUTELY CRAZY, when she hears "Phillip" just making his Vocal Runs so effortlessly!!!!!!
"Jupiter" was another song that few People understood....It didn't matter though, because the "Phoenix Horns" ("Rahmlee Michael Davis": Flugelhorn, Trumpet, "Louis Satterfield": and "Don Myrick": Saxophone) were the STARS there....
"Loves Holiday" (3rd Crown Jewel) is outright one of my FAVORITES, with "Johnny Graham" on guitar taking it home...
I have really grown to appreciate the album as a whole....
"I'll Write A Song For You" (4th Crown Jewel) is a Dreamy song, laced with "Philip's" Vocals...
"Magic Mind" is a straight up "Funk" workout....
For those who still believe that "EWF" deserted their "Jazz" roots, "Runnin'" will prove them WRONG again (sorry again, that just gets to ME!!!!!) !!!!!!
The last Crown Jewel in "Be Ever Wonderful", is an ABSOLUTE TREASURE!!!!, and again, setting the PERFECT pattern on how to close an album!!!!!!
The other point to make here are the "Brazilian Rhyme" Interludes...As stated earlier, these were inspired from their "Brazilian" trip, with the second one becoming EXTREMELY popular with the "Ba Di Ya's"....
This album was another Classic to an already STUNNING catalog.....In fact, NOW to People's point, THIS would be a hard act to follow....But knowing the "Elements", they still had PLENTY to say and create.......
PS: 7/5/2024.....Yes, I AM beating the SAME DRUM about a 2 LP Re-Issue here....In 1999, "Sony/Legacy" released a CD "Re-Issue" with "Previously Unreleased Bonus Tracks", including:
"Would You Mind (Demo Version Of Love's Holiday)"
"Runnin' (Original Hollywood Mix)"
"Brazilian Rhyme (Recorded Live On Oct. 25, 1980, At Maracanazinho, Rio De Janiero, Brazil)" (even though I not sure about that with the album being released in 1978, but OH WELL!!!!!)
I would also include:
The 12" Version of "Serpentine Fire" (which is 5 minutes long)
The "Fantasy" (special Disco Version) (which clocks around 4:50, I believe)
And like I said before, I would include the "Live Bonus Medley" (a. "Serpentine Fire", b. "Saturday Night", c. "Can't Hide Love", & d. "Reasons"), Performed on a 1978 TV Variety Special starring "Natalie Cole", that was on the "Gratitude" CD Re-Issue released in 1999....I just believe it would fit BETTER here.....
Just sayin'..... -
Goosebumps. As "Be Ever Wonderful" is fading off, you know you've listened to 39 minutes of peak EWF. All of their 1973-1976 was great, but this, released in late 1977 was epic. The industry thought Maurice White would falter without his mentor Charles Stepney, but instead he did the exact opposite.Sadly, Mr.White went pop. People went ape$%#^ over "Boogie Wonderland" and "After The Love Has Gone" in 1979,but the elemental spark wasn't there as much.But this album and the album "That's The World Of The World" are the way to go. -
The crown jewel in Earth, Wind & Fire's illustrious discography. A diverse album full of blazing funk workouts ("Serpentine Fire", "Jupiter", "Magic Mind"), lush, romantic ballads ("Love's Holiday", "Be Ever Wonderful", "Fantasy"), and spicy interludes ("Beijo", "Ponta de Areia"). This album has it all, and is absolutely dazzling. 44 years young, "All 'n All" has stood the test of time, and remains the definitive document to Earth, Wind & Fire's ability to craft spectacular funk, soul, R&B, pop, rock, jazz and so much more!!!
