http://kcstarlight.com/concerts/earth_wind_and_fire.aspx

Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most musically accomplished, critically acclaimed and commercially popular funk bands to emerge since the 1970s. Conceived by drummer, band leader, songwriter, kalimba player and occasional vocalist Maurice White, the band's all-encompassing musical vision used funk as its foundation, but also incorporated jazz, smooth soul, gospel, pop, rock & roll, psychedelia, blues, folk, African music and, later, disco. Lead singer Philip Bailey gave Earth, Wind & Fire an extra dimension with his talent for crooning sentimental ballads in addition to funk workouts. Behind Bailey, the band exhibits the ability to harmonize like a smooth Motown group, work a simmering groove or improvise like a jazz fusion outfit.
