"White's book is practically a how-to manual for leading a band... Aspiring musicians could certainly learn a lesson or two." -- New York Times Book Review "[A] powerful and substantial memoir... The book is more than a chronological tale of a career; it's a quest for meaning... The memoir captures a life of determination, positivity, and success tempered by depth and humility." -- Publishers Weekly "My Life with Earth, Wind & Fire is the candid and intimate odyssey of a man whose music and ideology continues to have an immeasurable influence on artists and audiences worldwide." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "[The] musical elements [of Earth, Wind & Fire] would not have existed without the singular drive of Maurice White. And his words here provide one magical, mystery tour." -- Houston Press "A long anticipated tome that will have fans riveted as [White] openly and methodically peels back the layers of his life, answering so many of the questions and solving so many of the mysteries long held about him and one of the greatest bands - critically and commercially - in any genre of all-time...Writing this book so many years after EWF's peak coupled with his spiritual, analytical and introspective nature all gave White a platform to be as thorough, thoughtful and honest about all aspects of his life." -- The Urban Music Scene.com
