Title: Earth, Wind & Fire – That’s The Way Of The World
Year/Genre: 1975 / Funk · Soul
Matrix #: BL-33280
Condition: VG++
Cultural Facts:
Released in 1975, this album arrived when Black popular music was expanding into big-budget, high-concept sound—tight funk rhythm science paired with orchestration and spiritual uplift aimed at mass audiences.
The record is tied to a wider mid-’70s cultural moment: arena-scale soul groups becoming symbols of optimism and sophistication, countering the era’s political exhaustion with precision, joy, and community language.
“Shining Star” helped define how funk crossed into mainstream radio without losing its edge—proof that dance music could be both technically elite and universally accessible.
