About this playlist
True to their name, ‘70s funk superstars Earth, Wind & Fire became an almost elemental influence for subsequent artists. Their style of celebratory brass powers Beyoncé's “Crazy in Love,” and singers from Michael Jackson to The Weeknd have echoed Philip Bailey's emotive falsetto. Pop stars like Bruno Mars and electronic acts like Daft Punk incorporate their techniques of plush, splashy arrangements.
