* It’s the 21st of September, kids…
Do you remember The 21st night of September? Love was changin’ the minds of pretenders While chasin’ the clouds away
Our hearts were ringin’ In the key that our souls were singin’ As we danced in the night, remember How the stars stole the night away, oh, yeah

Thanks for the interlude.
- JS Mill - Wednesday, Sep 21, 22 @ 2:38 pm:
GREAT song and even better video.
- Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Sep 21, 22 @ 2:40 pm:
Tough not to not only love this song but to not turn it up “to 11”
I know I could use this interlude. Thanks.

If I have to have an earworm the rest of the day, this is a fine one to have!

I’ve seen Rich Miller walking down Mich Ave in Chicago with the exact outfit the lead singer is wearing in the video

TES….Thank you sir!

===exact outfit the lead singer is wearing===
It’s my favorite outfit.
- yinn - Wednesday, Sep 21, 22 @ 2:48 pm:
Thank you. What a nice surprise for an afternoon break.
My spouse and I have quite different tastes in music. When we put our record collections together, we intersected only at EWF. First saw them in ‘95.

I do love this silly song.

RIP Maurice White Pulling the music from the South Side of Chicago.

Good times. Thank you.

How did I not remember that this is the 21st of September?
- Bogey Golfer - Wednesday, Sep 21, 22 @ 3:47 pm:
Big Thumbs up!!! Combining EWF and Chicago is a great concert.
- Streator Curmudgeon - Wednesday, Sep 21, 22 @ 4:21 pm:
I’ll bet if they made that guy’s outfit the official uniform of Chicago P.D., crime would drop to zero.
- The Magnificent Purple Walnut - Wednesday, Sep 21, 22 @ 4:26 pm:
Thank You for brightening our day. Great group, great song. They always look like they are having as much fun as their audience.

I know they’ve been doing this for a while but is BlueRoomStream getting paid for these twitter ads/press releases? https://twitter.com/BlueRoomStream/status/1572695739134017536

@ Not Rich–
Why am I not surprised to hear that? Lol
Was anyone else disappointed to see that the next song Vevo suggested was “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang? I would have gone with “Get Down It”.

Sorry I never saw EW&F live, with the late, great Maurice White, who lived and developed his career in Chicago.
- Levois J - Wednesday, Sep 21, 22 @ 7:12 pm:
since you mention Earth Wind and Fire. I found out Maurice White once performed with the late Ramsey Lewis. Lewis passed away recently.
- Proud Sucker - Wednesday, Sep 21, 22 @ 11:39 pm:
I have asked this question the last few years on Facebook. Great minds?
- Huh? - Thursday, Sep 22, 22 @ 7:29 am:
Apparently EWF put no special thought or meaning into the date. According to a recent radio interview the song writer said it sang better than anything else.
Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
