Daved Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) RIP Maurice. The brains and driving force behind one the greatest soul bands of all time. Excellent live performers too. I saw them at Wembley Arena in 1988. I can't seem to be able to embed the you tube clip but below is a link to "That's The Way Of The World" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vIIZydXDqg Edited February 5, 2016 by daved 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kev Cane Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) R.I.P. Maurice, yes indeed, E.W.F. were the soundtrack to our formative years. Their music was always in the background such was the quantity and quality of their work Kev Edited February 5, 2016 by kev cane Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Winsford Soul Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Woke up this morning to the news that I now live in a less soulful world. R.I.P Maurice Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Westender Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Another sad passing. Played drums on Rescue Me and with Ramsey Lewis for a while. His writing and producing for EWF and others was very high quality. EWF were a cracking live act. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chris L Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Perhaps not a soul group in the traditional sense but I loved their work, as always very sad. Sometimes you just wish you could press a pause button on life. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
