🎹 It was 1975. My beloved funk was integrating into my new obsession, jazz. Then Earth Wind & Fire teamed up with Ramsey Lewis. Glorious.
🔊 Three years later my college chums and I packed into a small dorm room with two towering speakers, turned out the lights, got high, and were transported by this big sound with ethereal voices that said so much without words.
SUN GODDESS

@joewynne@mindly.social Ramsey Lewis and Earth Wind & Fire is a strange enough pairing that it had to work. Funk and jazz arguing in the same room for a few years before they figured out they agreed.
