When you are one of the greatest bands to walk the earth with a massive back catalogue of hits its not surprising other artists will cover your work. Here's my selection of the best Soul and Jazz cover versions of the tunes of the wonderful Earth Wind and Fire!
We start with the virtuoso vocals of the Manhattans on Reasons, we've a great Soul version of Can't Hide Love from Perry and Sanlin (features the wonderful Phil Perry), there's a jap jazz interpretation of September featuring the Indigo Jam Unit, the great Johnny Bristol gives us his take on That's The Way Of The World and we end on a Reasons reprise but in a Lovers Rock Reggae style... plus more EWF goodness.
Back soon mixtapers!
