1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Right off the bat, we have “September” (and the [[ChristmasSongs Christmas version]] "December"), “Shining Star”, “Getaway”, “Boogie Wonderland”, and “Let’s Groove”.
2** In terms of albums, ''That’s the Way of the World '', ''Spirit '', and ''I Am '' are top-notch slices of '70s funk and soul.
3** Their cover of Music/TheBeatles' "[[Music/RevolverBeatlesAlbum Got to Get You Into My Life]]" is considered even by fans of the Fab Four to be better than the original.
4* CoveredUp: A decent number of fans consider EWF’s cover of “Got To Get You Into My Life” to be superior to the original— no small feat, given we’re talking about Music/TheBeatles.
5* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The band has a pretty big fanbase in Japan.
6* MisaimedFandom: "Reasons" is a ''gorgeous'' love ballad that's used often at weddings. Little do those people, and many listeners, realize it's actually about [[IntercourseWithYou a one-night stand]].
7* PopCultureHoliday: September 21st is a common day to celebrate the band, due to the first lyric in their song "September" -- "Do you remember the 21st night of September?" Los Angeles made this date an [[https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/21/entertainment/earth-wind-and-fire-day-september-21-trnd/index.html official holiday]] to celebrate the band in 2019.
8* RefrainFromAssuming:
9** "Let's Groove" is sometimes labelled as "Let's Groove Tonight".
10** "Love's Holiday" is not "Would You Mind?"
11** It's "Serpentine Fire", not "Gonna Tell the Story" or "Oh Yeah".
12* SignatureSong:
13** "September" is considered the group's greatest hit. Amusingly, it ''debuted'' on a GreatestHitsAlbum.
14** Aside from "September", "Let's Groove" and "Boogie Wonderland" are also two of their most well-known.
