Rolling Stone described Earth, Wind & Fire as the band that "changed the sound of Black pop." Formed in Chicago, IL, the group has fused multiple genres into their own unique sound and built a reputation for elaborate live shows. Since their breakthrough '75 multi-platinum album, "That's the Way of the World"—which reached the #1 pop spot and earned them their first Grammy—they've had numerous crossover hits and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This summer, they're co-headlining a 30-city concert tour.
