Maurice White and the members of Earth, Wind and Fire have impacted my life more than words can described. Reese had an undeniable flare and the music he created was life changing for me. When I was in the hospital, my wife had EWF playing in my Walkman. The magic in their music gave me a will to live. Thank you Maurice White for sharing your gift with me and all of the world who loved you best. Rest in Peace my brother (YOW) God bless you!!
To me, Maurice White was my hero. I’m only 16 years old and I started listening to EWF when I was 4 and I have been ever since. I wish I lived in the 70s sometimes to experience how powerful Maurice White was as a leader, artist, producer and a man. My heart broke when I heard the mews and I even cried in school the next day. I love you Maurice and you’ll always have a place in my heart. I’m probably the youngest EWF around and I’m proud to be. EWF has been powerful for since I was 4. Once again I love you Maurice and Rest In Paradise. Much Gratitude for your lovely music and I’ll keep listening till I see you. Peace.
Merci pour tout l’amour et les emotions intenses qu’on ressent dans chaque album, toutes ces melodies sont en moi pour toujours.
Thanks for all the love and intense emotions one can feel in every album, all of those songs are going to stick with me forever.
God bless you Maurice for the multitudes of hearts and lives you have touched. Thank you for the powerful music you produced and over the top performances you gave us. Now as you ascend and Getaway we reflect on your works, your journey and your many messages.
Magic Mind:
“Take a chance as you dance in romance
In a trance to advance and expand
Got a dime and a rhyme brilliant mind
Still inclined in your prime to design
Moving soon upper room
Paid your dues ’cause you’re through feelin’ blue ”
Time passes for all of us and as we all eventually pass many of us are forgotten. There are those few out of the many that leave a lasting impression into time for all time. There are those few that create magic and lasting inspiration and love so powerful that will never be forgotten. The raise us up from life’s challenges and sadness to appreciate our time on this earth.
Maurice White and the members of the band Earth, Wind and Fire are without question in that precious and deserving elite. They’ve filled my heart with love, respect and hope in some of the most difficult time of my 50 plus decades of life.
I was just watching old footage from ’73 and ’81 and glowing as the sweet harmonies, rhythmic horns, hypnotic percussion, intoxicating bass rhythms and searing guitar riffs had me singing along and bouncing around my house. How can your soul not be awakened by this transcendent collection of some of the most gifted human beings in the world.
My heart aches for the loss of Maurice and for music itself. Words can simply never express how blessed we all were by him and all the members of Earth, Wind and Fire. Look up in the sky tonight for a bright star that you haven’t seen before. THAT will be Maurice shining down on all of us. Rest in peace my brother. YOU will NEVER be forgotten!
I just found out through an update email I got from “8 Tracks” that Maurice has left earth for his new home in heaven. Tears flowing down my cheeks as I listen to the beautiful seasonal song “Open Your Heart For Love” which I discovered in the early 2000’s one Christmas season on a local smooth jazz station (which is no more). I was single at the time and that song gave me hope that I would find true love. Just a few years later, I met and married my wonderful husband and I still make it a point to play “Open Your Heart For Love” . Thank you Maurice for sharing your beautiful gifts and talents with the world. I’m sure you will continue to make even more beautiful music in your world. As you sang “you can’t stop love from reaching everybody.” Love you and will miss you. My sincerest condolences and prayers to family and loved ones who are missing Maurice. His music and love remain forever.
Rest in Peace, Maurice White. You wrote the songbook of my youth, and every time I hear EWF it makes me youthful and happy. Thank you for the music, thank you for the love, thank you for the grooooove. I am a babe born on the 22nd of September. My prayers are with your family all over the planet XO
I am so thankful for the amazing legacy that Maurice White left for us to cherish and share with the world. When I feel down and out I’ll, “Sing a Song”. In my personal relationships I’ll do my utmost to show true “Devotion”. No matter how much spiritual revelation I get from the Holy Books, I will be mindful that “It’s All About Love”. Indeed, Maurice your “Love Goes On”. Thank you sir for being a good faithful steward with your gifts.
Love you! Maurice White, and Earth Wind and Fire! You guys has always been The Ultimate Group far as music ially staus, especially because im a Fire Sign (Sag) im a Singer and coming from Spirituality Uprising ground we have always had your music in the elements in our home i just want you al to know you’re been an inspiration to my entire family! May GOD CONTINUE BLESS YOU ALL! And to you Mr. Maurice White! Be Ever Wonderful. You have truly been a Blessing to us all! Much love to you! And All!
Although I am only 17 years old Maurice White and Earth Wind and Fire have had a huge impact on my life. I was raised listening to their music an it reaches my heart emotionally like no other music has. When i was 9 years old i started to collect Vinyl and the first album I got was All ‘N All with the big fold out poster that i have framed on my wall. Since then my collection has grown to over 600 albums and almost every EWF Lp released. Their music has inspired me as a musician and being a horn player. It has also inspired my career goal of becoming a sound and recording engineer. Earth Wind and Fires music has had the power to get me through tough times in my life, it has made me, cry and feel, but mostly made me happy. If it wasn’t for Earth Wind and Fire i would not be the person i am today. Maurice White and EWFs music has blessed this world. When i discovered that he had passed away i started to cry and didn’t want to believe it. But now he is in heaven and he feels no more pain. He will live on in his music. I wish i could have seen them live back in the day but i wast even born yet. I hope to see one of their future concerts. Thank you Maurice White, I love you guys and your music. Rest in Peace.
Maurice, thank you for sharing your gift and talent with humanity. Your music changed my life and the world at large. You were like the big brother I never met personally, but you always gave me the wisdom, inspiration and that special word of encouragement through your music to help me along life’s journey. I am forever grateful. Now you are at rest with the All n All! I love you eternally my dear brother! Ase!
Una nuova stella brilla nel cielo, la più splendente del firmamento. Grazie Maurice per quanto hai dato a questa Terra, ora la tua musica sarà la colonna sonora del Paradiso.
It’s amazing how close I feel to someone I’ve only met through his music. I’ll never forget you Mr. White! Your voice shined a light through some of my darkest times!
Maurice meant for me more than any other musician. I am a jazz lover but EWF’s music kind of transcended all styles and was in its own class. Maurice was the best example of love and compassion. He was influential in music, spirituality and universal love. RIP Maurice, your songs will echo in our hearts forever.
EWF were my favourite sound since 1974. It was a sound from the heart, full of soul and uplifting, positive and melodic. I miss you Maurice. You will live on through your musical legacy. Your message has never left me. I love you: Brian from New Zealand
thank you maurice White for music for earth wind & fire. Keep your head to the sky. My gratitude for you. Good bye maurice , earth wind & fire pour toujours. françois de france
Me and my father as much as I loved him we were never able to communicate as much as I would have liked, but the schools here only taught English and my dad only spoke Spanish but at the time in my life that I really needed to hear a positive voice, it was Maurice that guided me through. I’ll never forget the first time I heard them or even where I was it was a life changing moment. I love you Maurice. En paz descanse.
La musica è il mio rifugio.
La scomparsa di Maurice White rappresenta una grande perdita per il mondo della musica.
Maurice sarà sempre vivo con noi, la musica non muore è sempre viva.
– peace –
Music is my refuge.
The disappearance of Maurice White is a great loss to the music world.
Maurice will always live with us, the music does not die it is always alive.
– Peace –
Maurice was the music of my youth. And after the music of my life. EWF’music is The Way of The (better) World. RIP Maurice and love from France to EWF.
So sad Maurice has left the physical plane of existence, but know that spiritually he will live on eternally. His songs have meant so much to me personally, a very strong and positive influence in life as I’m sure in many others’ lives globally. He spoke of love, of unity, of connectivity to nature and spirituality. This world is a much much better place to live in because of this man– Maurice White. RIP
“…the light is he
Shining on you and me
And the land he gave
Roads we must pave
Looking thru each others eyes
Humanity will rise
In love
And our spirit will
Be at one with thee.”
From the moment I first heard the opening bars of ‘Saturday Nite’ as a ten year old some 40 years ago I was hooked on EWF. Great songs, superb vocals and musicianship all wonderfully arranged and produced by Maurice and Co. To complement this EWF put on magical live stage shows that were nothing short of spectacular! I will never forget Wembley 1981!.Today my son also listens to EWF and amongst others Avicci who himself was greatly influenced by EWF. The genius of Maurice White has already transended generations and will continue to influence artists for years to come. I’m just so grateful that I was around to witness him and the band at first hand in their prime. It’s sad that he is no longer be with us… but his legacy will live on for years to come. Peace Reese .
Dearest Maurice, you will be so sadly missed. Your musical gift gave the world so much through the joy of Earth, Wind and Fire and all the other work in which you immersed yourself. Sing beautifully by God’s side and remain forever in our hearts.
Maurice and his fellow musicians shaped my perception of how great music should sound. You made an ever-lasting impression, reaching far from your home base. Thank you!
WHAT A SAD SAD DAY, WE ARE DEVASTED TO HEAR ABOUT THE LOSS OF MAURICE WHITE…YOU’LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BROTHER, AND EARTH WIND & FIRE WILL STAY ALIVE FOR EVER, SURE YOU’RE SEATTED NEXT TO GOD, WE’LL KEEP ON THE FIGHT, WIN IT, AND SURELY “WE ALL WILL NEVER DIE”…, OUR SOUL AND HEART ARE NEXT TO YOU FOR YOUR LEAVING…WISH WE COULD HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER BETTER, A “WARM” HUGH…REST IN PEACE, BLESSINGS AND TENDER CONDOLENCES TO YOU AND YOURS, SL&W
Deeply saddened to hear of Maurice’s passing. My husband introduced me to their wonderful music when we met, so they became ‘our group’ and remain that to this day. So many beautiful songs, difficult to pick a favourite. He will be deeply missed, but what a legacy he has left behind. Thank-you.
Maurice meant all of what music means to me. If I could write songs sure I would have writen songs at Earth, Wind & Fire style, that’s for sure, because I fell so identified with this kind of music! It means happiness such good vibes! Thank you Maurice and thank to all past and present musicians of Earth, Wind & Fire!!!

Hasta siempre Maurice, Que Dios te bendiga.
Ciertamente hoy es un día triste. Mi más sentido pésame a la familia, a todos los integrantes de la banda, a todos los fans de Earth, Wind & Fire y a todos los amantes de la música.
Maurice consiguió que su música fuera la banda sonora que ha formado parte de nuestras vidas, y mi consuelo es que permanecerá con todos nosotros para siempre. Descanse en Paz
Certainly today is a sad day. My deepest condolences to the family, to all members of the band, to all fans of Earth, Wind & Fire and to all music lovers.
Maurice’s music has been and will be the soundtrack of our lives, and my consolation is that will remain with us forever. Rest In Peace
My generation grew up with the sounds of EWF. Maurice Whites’ unique vocals and his song writing will forever be remembered. A true visionary of our time in all things. May God Bless this amazing individual and thank you from one of millions.
A hero of mine. One who brought maturity and consciousness to the world through his music. Through his music we saw the way of the world and the way it should be. One of my biggest heroes. Thank you Maurice White. THANK YOU!
Being raised with the music of Earth Wind & Fire was one of the reasons why I went into radio making.
I wanted to share the uplifting, sometimes romantic songs with listeners in my country (Belgium) and nowadays all over the world through the onternet..
There is something about Maurice’s talent for bringing music to the people. It’s from another world and it never fails to touch hearts and souls again and again. We will miss you dear brother
Maurice white and earth wind and fire changed my life and turned me on to funk. as a 10 year old schoolboy I had their artwork all over my school bag and would tell my glam rock loving friends who this wonderful band were [unfortunately most of them didn’t know]. that all changed in the late 1970s when EVERYONE knew exactly who they were. their messages of love and positivity enriched my life and made me feel happy. you could always cheer yourself up by dropping the needle onto their vinyl [remember vinyl kids?]. if you secretly wanted to be a “soul train” line dancer, this was definitely the group for you. even though I’m from Glasgow in Scotland, it didn’t stop me from seeing my heroes in the late 1970s when I was a teenager, they altered my life and turned me on to jazz, soul, funk and latin music. I love the sound of the kalimba and tracked down every record they made as well as their productions for other artists [notably the emotions]. funk music has lost another hero. god bless you Maurice white. this 51 year old Scottish soul boy will never forget your messages of love and positivity. long live earth wind and fire. r.i.p. Maurice white.
Earth Wind & Fire have been a major part of my life for over 40 years. Your music has lifted me spiritually and has always taken me to a higher place. I was blessed to be able to see EWF many times in the 1970’s and 1980’s and never miss a chance to see them whenever they are touring. Thank you Maurice for the music you created with positive messages of a universal love and spiritual elevation. Your music and messages touched people from all races and cultures and ages. To say thank you, is not nearly enough to say to you and EWF for all you mean to your fans. We will always keep our heads to the sky. Many blessings and love to your family and members of EWF as we share in the sadness of your leaving this 3D world.
Dal 1972 ho iniziato ad ascoltare la tua musica il tuo sound le tue melodie , e non le ho più lasciate.
Ho ascoltato tutti i tuoi brani cantati insieme alla tua band, che rimarranno nel tempo indelebili.
Ho assistito al concerto a Taormina nel 1997 , tu purtroppo non c’eri……………………….con tanto mio rammarico.
Grazie di tutto per quello che mi hai dato…………………………………….
