Earth, Wind & Fire perform “Shining Star”:
Formed in Chicago in the late 1960s, the funk band rose to fame with hits like “September,” “Shining Star,” and “Boogie Wonderland.” Earth, Wind & Fire delivered a mix of soul, funk, R&B, pop, jazz and gospel music – shaping the sound of the 1970s.
The cult band was not only known for their music, but also for artistic show performances with elaborate choreography, fireworks and light effects. Her legendary status earned her Grammy trophies, a star on the Walk of Fame, and a spot in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. (sda/dpa)
