I Am (Bonus Tracks)

Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing. Includes printed inner sleeve. I Am, originally released in 1979, features 'Boogie Wonderland' (featuring the vocals of The Emotions), which became one of the most popular disco and cross-over hits of that time. The hit ballad 'After the Love Has Gone' did well too. Afraid to be labelled 'Disco band', Verdine White of Earth, Wind & Fire stated 'we might have partied, but we didn't dance!'. I Am is a good testimony to the solid combination of the band's vocal strength and instrumental backup. Earth, Wind & Fire, the R&B-Pop-Soul band from Chicago, produced quite a number of hits during the 1970s and early 1980s. Having sold over 90 million albums worldwide and winning six Grammy Awards, the band is ranked on the list of best-selling music artists. Main musical elements of EWF, led by founder Maurice White, are African and Latin American influences, mixed with funk, soul & pop with hints of rock and jazz.
