Album Notes & Community Reviews

Earth, Wind & Fire perfectly executed their transition into the disco era without sacrificing any of their incredibly lush, complex musicality on 'I Am'. Featuring the immortal groove of 'Boogie Wonderland' and soaring, deeply sentimental ballads, the album is a highly rhythmic, brilliantly uplifting celebration of joyous summer party energy.
