Damn. This has really been a tough stretch. He was the leader of probably the best live band you'd ever want to see.

I love his first line of September. "Do you rememba, the 21st night of Septemba."

RIP Mr White

Their music was a big part of my high school & college days. I was lucky enough to see them perform a couple of times.

 

You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be

 

Thanks for all of the great memories Mr. White. Peace & prayers to you & your family. 

[Kosher Ham]

Well, that sucks. Always enjoyed his music. 

 

RIP

[Riggo-toni]

They made some great music in the seventies. RIP.

[TradeTheBeal!]

Pure greatness. They don't make em like that anymore.

Rest in Peace.

I always hear EWF playing as the soundtrack whenever I think of the pics in my Jr. High School yearbook. Maurice, y'all were the ****. You will be missed.

Great, great music...and the best horns in the biz, Phil Collins had them on (I think) every solo album. 

RIP, Mr. White.

Given your handle and his hairline back in the day, I'd think Maurice White would be on your top 3 list.

I remember it because it was the night I was born!  I love EWF.  Was in my 20s and in the discos.
