Hi Peter,
The CD "Devoted Spirits - Tribute To Earth, Wind & Fire" is one of the best CD's that I have
heard so far this year.
I think that Earth, Wind & Fire is evolving into a situation where you will be able to see and
hear many different variations of Earth, Wind & Fire presented by different past and present
members of the band.
I think that this is ultimatly a good thing for fans of the music.
