Tommy1 Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 I'm not an expert on EWF, but according to "BlackPast - African American History", they were formed in Chicago in1968 as Salty Peppers, and changed the band’s name to Earth, Wind & Fire in 1970, three years before this article.

Alan T Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 They have a nice track on a Colorado compilation from 1976. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvGQJ7uOxEs This is from the back of the album on an ebay listing. Some names for your research. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I think the article could be referring to Phillip Bailey who was born in Denver. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Aha, so Phillip Bailey was one of the members of Friends In Love together with the others who became SaSa Di. Wikipedia says he was invited in 1972 to join EWF, so it sounds plausible!
