🎶🍵Bonus Tea🍵🎶Maurice was the only " White" in the family. Verdine,Fred and 2 more of his siblings changed their surname from "Adams" to "White" to establish them as brothers to the public,so they wouldn't have to explain how they were related. Maurice expressed regret for that because his step father was great,but Dr.Verdine Adams Sr. never tripped about it. He understood

Seems like it would have been better to change his name to Adams...maybe because of business... really all they had to say was we all have the same mom🤷🏾♀️

Thank ❤ you so much for sharing this information. Am a boomer who remember them in the 70’s but then went off in different muscial explorations over the decades. Was fortunate to have heard the band live late 90’s in Seattle’s Summer Nights at The Pier was so magical (but was sadly not with Maurice). Now at 73, I find I need goodly doses of Earth, Wind & Fire to keep my spirits up … so it’s wonderful to know that when I think of the band title, I am actually honoring Maurice. And because I don’t believe we die and there is no time & space … he is always just right there beside me with all of his love. There is no separation. I grew up in a very traumatic environment where I could never believe in myself, in fact hated myself and having been born a female was so shameful where suicide had been a very attractive option for many decades (my parents both suicided out and I am white). While I have done many decades of inner healing work, aging is not easy … so am finding lots of solice in their music and learning about Maurice now all makes so much sense. He has left a timeless legacy for many of us especially who have had a really horrible time in this dimension of prison planet of Babylonian hell, not wanting to be here. Anyways, I first started researching about Verdine and found such an amazing man who thankfully found a perfect long term partner … despite all of his being on the road most of the time. (I saw their renewing of vows video that is so beautiful and full of so much loving support) My research will continue because I love this band so much and how it helps to make me feel on those bad days … it lifts one’s heart & spirit. Again thank 🌺 you for this video about Maurice 🌈✨✨✨✨

THIS divine gentleman & the MAGNIFICENT musical collective he assembled & led for over four decades was & still is my "north star" in music production & LIFE itself. His desire to "uplift the planet" & "serve humanity with the gift of music" as he would say it, is such a noble & respectful pursuit. I'm SO grateful to have lived during the era of EWF's & his own heyday & as well to see this glorious & grand musical & spiritual ethos inspire newer generations. FOREVERMORE honors & respect to you, beloved Maestro Maurice. I miss you SO much & thank you, honored sir for the gift you ARE & for that which you so freely & generously shared w/all of us. Be EVER wonderful, bless up. 🙏🏽 [bowing]

Maurice White is truly a gift to us all. One of God's messenger in music. Maurice White's music resonates through positive messages in the music that lifted my generation. The music gave us hope that we can reach the stars. "You Are Shining Star, No Matter Who You Are." Ahead of his time, great musician, producer, singer and song writer. Started the greatest group of all time. Thank you Mr. Maurice White for giving us the gift of music and wisdom. Rest in God's loving arms. We love you Maurice All in All. ❤ 🎶 🎵 🎶

Thank you for this informative mini-bio. Very clear, straightforward, and factual. Maurice was a musical genius not only for EWF, but also for producing so many other artists. As a performer he was an amazing stage presence. As a musician he was versatile and creative. As a composer, producer, arranger, songwriter, he was original and groundbreaking. Hats off to Quincy Jones and Sly Stone, but Maurice White deserves equal recognition.
