Editorial Reviews

Do You Remember? is an essential, breakthrough installment in what should be a generation of thoughtful reappraisals of the band that is Earth, Wind & Fire. The detailed information given here is essential and will establish this book in the field.--Rickey Vincent, author of Funk: The Music, the People and the Rhythm of the One

Finding complete books about African American bands from the 1970s is a much harder task than it should be. This detailed examination of the biggest of all of those bands is essential reading for anyone who loves the music of Earth, Wind & Fire.--Marcus Chapman, music historian, radio personality, author, and on-screen contributor to TV One's Unsung
