I love virtually anything EWF, but I have to say “Keep Your Head to the Sky” because my dad would always play this for me if I was feeling down or he wanted me to do just that. It was one of the more pleasant memories I have of my father. Plus Phil Bailey’s voice is like an angel and the way they hit that hi note at the end, I was totally in awe. The song has a very positive message, that’s how I started loving EWF and a lot of other artists from the “old school”. I love the old school.

I was weened on EWF like everybody else. I think I literally got excited at a really young age when I heard their songs. I remember constantly playing the album That’s the Way of the World in the 70′s and early 80′s. The Beatles connection to “Got to Get You Into My Life” didn’t happen until well into my 20′s when I became of fan of their music. EWF’s version is much better tho.

Most of the faves have been listed, but here are a few more: Yearnin’ Learnin’, Side by Side, and All About Love

The Essential EWF is a good to add to your collection. It covers the best and important songs of their career.

Hey Bella,

It’s sooo funny to see a column about EWF-me and my intimate freind were just debating the best ever EWF song…I always cast my vote for “I Write a Song For You”, where Phillip Bailey sang the lead. To me, it, in totality, speaks everything you ever wanted to know, hear and feel from EWF. The horn section, the backgrounds, and of course the ever-melodic singing itself….I miss music like that. Just pure, untouched magic for your ears.

You can’t go wrong with ‘the Elements,’ as my dad would call them. “Fantasy” was the first EWF song I was introduced to. But “Getaway” is my all-time favorite. I just HAVE to dance when that song comes on! “Getaway…let’s leave today….”

EWF!!! I remember when I was a little girl growing up in Chicago watching the “big kids” step to “That’s the way of the world”. I would watch them and think to myself that I was going to step to EWF songs when I got “big”. LOL!!

I own both best of EWF Vol’s 1 & 2. I love blasting “Reasons” in my car!

Thanks for the memories Bella.
