An incredible album! A poignant testament to the energy the band exudes in concert, Gratitude was also the second best-selling R'n'B album of 1976 and the band's first live album sold on a major label. A subtle blend of soul funk, pop, and R'n'B with rock undertones, EWF's cocktail seems to be inhabited by joyous divine energy! Funk-rock anthems, such as "Shining Star," perfectly blend with the velvety ballads ("Devotion") that Maurice White and his band offer to an ecstatic and captivated crowd. The band even takes advantage of Gratitude to offer its fans five excellent new studio compositions, including the delightful "Sing a Song" and the mesmerizing "Can't Hide Love." Touched by grace from the first to the last note, EWF rewards its audience with an essential live album to be enjoyed without moderation. Gems: "Yearnin' Learnin'" - "Sun Goddess" - "Shining Star"
