EARTH WIND & FIRE - LET'S GROOVE (Montreal, 2014)
- 10 years ago
Move yourself and glide like a 747
Lose yourself in the sky, among the clouds in the heavens.
Tuneage "Let's Groove" performed by Earth, Wind & Fire, taken from their studio album Raise!. Written by Maurice White and Wayne Vaughn (with additional production by White), the song was chosen as the first single from the studio album. The song peaked at number three in the US and in the UK. It also spent eight weeks at number one on the Hot Soul Singles chart in late 1981 and early 1982 and was the second R&B song of 1982 on the year-end charts.
