Description: Earth, Wind & Fire hit the road hard after releasing their 1975 breakthrough album That's the Way of the World. "Sing A Song" was built around a riff that their guitarist Al McKay came up with in the dressing room during a gig. McKay finished writing the song with group leader Maurice White, who kept the lyrics simple - a joyful message about the power of song. White produced the track with Charles Stepney, who he worked with as a staff musician at Chess Records in Chicago when White was a drummer and Stepney played piano and did arrangements. Since I couldn't find a 12 inch version of the song, I created my own. For the video I used footage I found here on Youtube. Since the live version of 'Sing a song' was much faster than the single version, I had to edit the video quite a bit. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED!
