Boogie Wonderland (Earth Wind & Fire) - HSCC BAND

"Boogie Wonderland" is a song by American band Earth, Wind & Fire with the Emotions, released in April 1979 on Columbia Records as the first single from their ninth album, I Am (1979). 

The song peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard dance chart, number six on the Billboard Hot 100, and number two on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart.  It was certified Gold in the US by the RIAA and Gold in the UK by the BPI. "Boogie Wonderland" was Grammy nominated in the categories of Best R&B Instrumental Performance and Best Disco Recording.

Like so many of EWF classic hits, Boogie Wonderland, is bolstered by the blazing horns that have become the groups trademark. Teamed up with the talented vocal group the Emotions, EWF has created a song that will join the ranks of such past hits as Mighty Mighty, Getaway, Fantasy and September. Dave Marsh of Rolling Stone said Maurice White "takes simple dance formulas like 'Boogie Wonderland' and finds fresh possibilities within them".

An innovative fusion of elements of pop, jazz, soul, and disco rhythm, this song has become a favorite dance club staple across the different genres from the late 70's transcending all the way until today's clubbing crowd.  Here, the HSCC Band performs an outstanding cover of "Boogie Wonderland" that pays tribute to this legendary dance classic of Earth, Wind & Fire.

VIDEO HOT TRACKS
September (Earth Wind & Fire) - HSCC BAND

"September" is an iconic dance song by the American band Earth, Wind & Fire released as a single in 1978 on ARC/Columbia RecordsInitially included as a track for The Best of Earth, Wind, & Fire, Volume 1, "September" was very successful commercially and reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart, No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The song remains a staple of the band's body of work and has been sampled, covered, remixed, and re-recorded numerous times.

"September" has been one of the biggest commercial and critical successes of Earth, Wind & Fire's career. The song was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry and certified gold in the US (until the RIAA lowered the sales levels for certified singles in 1989, a Gold single equaled 1 million units sold.) "September" was later certified Gold for digital sales by the RIAA, and has sold over 2 million digital copies in the US as of September 2017. Earth, Wind & Fire recorded a new version of the song, retitled "December", for their 2014 Christmas album Holiday.

Although several theories about the significance of the date have been suggested, the songwriter Maurice White claimed he simply chose the 21st due to how it sounded when sung. His wife, Marilyn White, however, claimed that September 21 was the due date of their son, Kahbran, according to lyricist Allee Willis.

With multiple renditions repeatedly performed by numerous bands worldwide, this iconic dance track remains to be a crowd favorite in international dance clubs. The HSCC Band performs an outstanding cover of "September" that pays tribute to this legendary dance classic of Earth, Wind & Fire.
