His band, a collective of many of the best session musicians in L.A., brings back the infective soul, R&B, funk of the ‘70s radio-friendly superstar group Earth, Wind & Fire with many of the band’s greatest hits. It’s highlighted by the funk-grooved “Shining Star.” That was the band’s top hit, charting for several weeks in 1976. Another massive hit revisited is the catchy McKay composition “September,” fired by muscular lyricism that made it to No. 1 on the R&B Charts. But in interviews, McKay, a star in the group from 1973-81, stresses that they are not duplicating EWF but bringing a vital, fresh view to the legacy of the band. As such they are an homage band celebrating the band’s innovative soul-funk-r&b sounds in the ’70s that expressed the power of dance-filled black music at the time. For this Earth, Wind & Fire Experience show, McKay fills the stage with three vocalists (who also dance in step), four horn players, two keyboardists and a rhythm section of percussion, bass and drums. It’s a soul feast with McKay’s funky wah-wah rhythm guitar power. From the cool soul of “Sun Goddess” to the full-tilt beats of “Jupiter,” the show is a high-spirited reminder of an era of music in the past. Yet McKay proves that this fun still sparkles with compelling potency—evidenced in the standing-ovation call for an encore which yielded more hits, including the dance crazy “Boogie Wonderland.” Dan Ouellette 🎥 Watch our well-curated playlists Full CONCERTS    • Playlist   Analogue Sessions    • Analogue by Qwest TV   The GREATEST HITS    • ALL SONGS | Qwest TV   Legendary ARCHIVE GEMS    • ARCHIVES | Qwest TV   Captivating DOCUMENTARIES    • Documentaries | Qwest TV   Follow Qwest TV Website: https://www.qwest.tv/ Instagram:   / qwest.tv   Facebook:   / qwesttv   Twitter:   / qwest_tv   Qwest TV is Quincy Jones' video streaming network celebrating Black Music & Global Sounds through premium documentaries, live concerts, archive gems and interviews showcasing the greatest musicians of all time!
