Earth, Wind and Fire Tickets in Phoenix
Earth, Wind and Fire just came into the public eye at the American Idol charity show, and now they are coming to see you. They will be performing at the Dodge Theatre here in Phoenix. Here is some info from their wiki:
Born in Memphis in 1941, bandleader and founder Maurice White moved to Chicago as a teenager and found work as a session drummer for Chess Records. By 1967, he was the new drummer in the Ramsey Lewis Trio, replacing Red Holt. In 1969, Maurice left the Ramsey Lewis Trio, and joined two friends in Chicago, Wade Flemons and Don Whitehead, as a songwriting team which wrote songs and commercials in the Chicago area. The three friends got a recording contract with Capitol, and called themselves the “Salty Peppers”, and had a marginal hit in the Midwestern area called ‘La La Time’.
The Salty Peppers’ second single, “Uh Huh Yeah” didn’t fare as well, and Maurice decided it was time for a change of location - and a change in the band’s name, which turned into Earth, Wind & Fire. This was based on the fact that White’s astrological sign being Sagittarius, had a primary elemental quality of Fire, but also had seasonal qualities which are Earth, and Air, hence the omission of water.
