I am 21, and still jamming out to this song. This song reminds me of my mom, she...unfortunately succumbed to colon cancer back in 2013. Every time I hear this song, it would make me sad, because she was my mom, she might've not been a good mom to yall, but to me, she was a great mom. She told me to be happy, she told me that not to cry about her, she told me that she will be in my heart and watching over me. Those were her last words. I dropped down my DS (ended up breaking it) and was crying at her side. I never thought I would lose my mom, and when they disconnected my mom from life support, I went running and hugging my dad and crying. Fast forward to May 25th, 2019, I was graduating. Once this song came on as the Graduation Song, I looked at my family, and I went running to them and cried. I wanted everyone to be there, including my mom. My friends were there to comfort me also. I really miss my mom. Someday mom, I will reunite with you again! Until then, I will try my hardest. I love you mom!

My mom just passed away. Earth Wind and Fire was her favorite band. My Dad abused her for a long time and her parents before that and she became addicted to drugs and alcohol as a result. Didnβt really get to know the good parts of her. One of the few memories I have during the good days of her life is standing on her feet as a toddler dancing with her to this song. Grateful for Earth Wind and Fire.

Let me lay some facts on you my fellow YouTube Listeners: This song was written b y David Foster, Jay Graydon and Bill Chaplin. It was first offered to the duo group " Hall & Oates."At the time they were not interested in recording any music that wasn't written by them. When D. Foster presented to Maurice White, he gave the song a thumbs up. Verdine White, brother of Maurice White, stated that it was the most difficult song they had ever recorded. They felt the vibe had to be right in order to pull it off. He went on to say they recorded 6 to 7 times before M. White said that's it. Thats the one. It found its way to #2 on Billboards 100 list in 1979 for 2 weeks. It took home 2 Grammy's. Best R&B duo or a group and Best R&B song Grammy for composers D. Foster and J. Graydon. And now you know. Lol
