"An energetic memoir about a complex individual and his music." ~Kirkus Reviews   "Fans of Bailey's music will find him a warm and occasionally very funny guide through the elements of this American band that Rolling Stone declared "changed the sound of black pop." ~Publishers Weekly   "[ Shining Star ] is a memoir of a man, a band, and a vision.... What may impress the most is Bailey's honesty in relating conflicts that eventually tore the band apart, as well as his own shortcomings." "If you've ever been a fan of Earth, Wind and Fire (and who hasn't?), buy this book!" ~Ebony   "Ninety million records sold. Eight Grammy awards. Lot of platinum and gold records. And lead singer Bailey's leaping multi-octave range. The numbers speak for themselves, but Bailey has more to say in this memoir, which ranges from Earth, Wind, & Fire's early years to founder Maurice White's disbanding the group in 1983 to Bailey's solo career (which gave us "Easy Lover") to the group's reuniting and eventual ascension to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." ~ Library Journal A fun read overall, especially for the many EWF fans still out there. ~Booklist -- all, "An energetic memoir about a complex individual and his music." ~Kirkus Reviews   "Fans of Bailey's music will find him a warm and occasionally very funny guide through the elements of this American band that Rolling Stone declared "changed the sound of black pop." ~Publishers Weekly   "[ Shining Star ] is a memoir of a man, a band, and a vision....

Synopsis
With more than 90 million records sold and eight Grammy awards throughout its 40-year history, Earth, Wind & Fire has staked its claim as one of the most successful, influential, and beloved acts in music history. Now, for the first time, its dynamic lead singer Philip Bailey chronicles the group's meteoric rise to stardom and his own professional and spiritual journey. Shining Star is the true story of what happens when real life exceeds your dreams, when the power and pain of building a legacy brings both joy and faith-testing challenges., A revealing and heartfelt memoir from the lead singer of the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire With more than ninety million records sold and eight Grammy awards throughout its forty-year history, Earth, Wind & Fire has staked its claim as one of the most successful, influential, and beloved acts in music history. Now, for the first time, its dynamic lead singer Philip Bailey chronicles the group s meteoric rise to stardom and his own professional and spiritual journey. Never before had a musical act crossed multiple styles and genres with a quixotic blend of astrology, Universalism, and Egyptology as Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) did when it exploded into the public s conscience during the 1970s. The group s shows became sensory experiences with their dramatic staging, shimmering costumes, elaborate choreography, baffling magic tricks and a thumping backbeat. At the center of it the group was its charismatic founder Maurice White and Bailey, with his soaring multi-octave range and distinctive falsetto. After being signed by recording titan Clive Davis, EWF went on to produce a remarkable series of platinum and gold albums and headline stadiums around the world. As Philip and Maurice were profoundly influenced by genius producer Charles Stepney, as well as famed arranger David Foster, EWF elevated Sly Stone s multiethnic I Wanna Take You Higher message to an even higher level. Bailey hit the wall due to fame, fortune, and the excesses of global succes. The constant touring and performing took its toll on him publicly and privately. While White and Bailey s relentless work ethic shot the band into the stratosphere, it also exhausted and emotionally gutted the group. In 1983, White abruptly dismantled the band, leaving Bailey and the rest of the members to fend for themselves. As a solo act, Bailey recorded Easy Lover, a worldwide smash duet with Phil Collins, launching the next stage of his career until EWF reunited later that decade. Shining Star is the true story of what happens when real life exceeds your dreams, when the power and pain of building a legacy brings both joy and faith-testing challenges."

    This was a paperback/softcover 29 year old book I purchased in very good condition as described. However it was delivered in a plain white plastic envelope. They should have at least used a bubble pack lined shipping envelope for protection of the item inside. They should re-think their shipping & packaging strategies, especially with much much older delicate items. Other wise no problems whatsoever with seller. Recommended seller. A+
