Earth, Wind & Fire are the first African-American group to be inducted into the Kennedy Center Honors. I never realized that there were no African American Groups in the Kennedy Honors before this.
Founding members Philip Bailey, Ralph Johnson, and Verdine White were honored by politicians and their peers while frontman, Maurice White, who died in 2016, was there in spirit. The Kennedy Center Honors will air on December 15th.
Earth, Wind & Fire will celebrate 50 years in the music business next Summer and are planning a collaboration album.
