Song: "September"
Writers: Maurice White, Al McKay and Allee Willis
Band: Earth, Wind & Fire
When we're happy at our house, we dance. Funk is my favorite dance music and Earth, Wind & Fire is as good as it gets. The hard part is picking just one song! "September" brought EWF to a whole new audience when Gap used the song in an ad campaign. I actually had a temp job with Gap's online store at the time and got to see the ad before its general release.
Speaking of ads, I can't believe I neglected to include this video with my Day 18 post. The following is my favorite commercial ever.

Day 22: A Song That You Listen to When You're Sad
September is such a strong song that almost ANY version is fun. Nan is partial to the Sisqo/Vitamin C version!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the Earth, Wind and Fire version...I like funk. It's grown on me in the past 15 or 20 years because Dwayne LOVES it.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that commercial before and it is awesome.
Funk was the collateral damage when the world turned against disco. Funk is similar but sooooooooo much better.
