About
<i>Spirit</i> captures Earth, Wind & Fire at their celestial peak. Dedicated to longtime co-producer Charles Stepney, who died of a heart attack during the project's recording, the album is suffused with leader Maurice White's mystical, positive worldview, as well as his melodic funk vision. Cocky workouts like the soaring opener, "Getaway," and the loose, funky instrumental "Biyo" mesh with such sleek love songs as "On Your Face" and "Imagination," while the expansive "Burnin' Bush" closes the album on a sophisticated note.
