To get your body warmed up to dance, we’ve compiled this groovy group of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band’s Top-10 hits! Celebrate nearly 50 years of Earth, Wind & Fire music with this playlist, presented in chronological order.

“SHINING STAR” (1975)

“Shining Star” was Earth, Wind & Fire’s first #1 hit song, earning the group a GRAMMY for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals!


“SING A SONG” (1975)

Also on the album Gratitude, “Sing a Song” spent a couple weeks on top of Billboard‘s Hot Soul Songs chart.


“GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE” (1978)

If there’s any band that can make a song from The Beatles their own, it’s Earth, Wind & Fire! The cover earned a GRAMMY for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s).


“SEPTEMBER” (1978)

Do you remember that this track hit #1 on the U.S. R&B chart?


“BOOGIE WONDERLAND” (1979)

Earth, Wind & Fire teamed up with The Emotions for this quintessential disco track that hit #6 on the U.S. Hot 100.


“AFTER THE LOVE HAS GONE” (1979)

This slow jam won Earth, Wind & Fire another GRAMMY, but had to settle for the #2 spot on the charts due to the popularity of The Knack’s smash hit “My Sharona.”


“LET’S GROOVE” (1981)

Another decade, another gold-certified song! Earth, Wind & Fire kicked off the 1980s with one of their grooviest hits in their entire catalog!
