Foreword by Steve Harvey and afterword by David Foster The
Grammy-winning founder of the legendary pop/R&B/soul/funk/disco
group tells his story and charts the rise of his legendary band in
this sincere memoir that captures the heart and soul of an artist
whose groundbreaking sound continues to influence music today. With
its dynamic horns, contrasting vocals, and vivid stage shows,
Earth, Wind & Fire was one of the most popular acts of the late
twentieth century-the band "that changed the sound of black pop"
(Rolling Stone)-and its music continues to inspire modern artists
including Usher, Jay-Z, Cee-Lo Green, and Outkast. At last, the
band's founder, Maurice White, shares the story of his success. Now
in his seventies, White reflects on the great blessings music has
brought to his life and the struggles he's endured: his mother
leaving him behind in Memphis when he was four; learning to play
the drums with Booker T. Jones; moving to Chicago at eighteen and
later Los Angeles after leaving the Ramsey Lewis Trio; forming EWF,
only to have the original group fall apart; working with Barbra
Streisand and Neil Diamond; his diagnosis of Parkinson's; and his
final public performance with the group at the 2006 Grammy Awards.
Through it all, White credits his faith for his amazing success and
guidance in overcoming his many challenges. Keep Your Head to the
Sky is an intimate, moving, and beautiful memoir from a man whose
creativity and determination carried him to great success, and
whose faith enabled him to savor every moment.
