This time around, we are venturing into the mystique and mastery of one of the greatest funk, soul and pop groups of all time – Earth, Wind & Fire! We’re taking on the tall task of selecting their 5 all-time best songs to produce a definitive top 20. While the goal is objectivity, as with all the Jam Fan shows, some subjectivity is inevitable. That’s what makes this so much of a stone-cold gas! Joining host Scott "DR GX" Goldfine are three esteemed Jam Fans: lifelong music devotee, host of the FJS (Funky, Jazzy and Smooth) with KD radio show, who’s also a legal expert, Karl A. Doss; radio personality, music historian, TV One Unsung contributor, author and actor, Marcus Chapman; and soul & funk music historian and producer of the Soul School Television series Calvin Lincoln. Thanks to all of them for keeping the funk alive!  Panelists' Picks Ground Rules: - Pick your 5 best Earth, Wind and Fire songs - EWF has to be the credited artist; no solo works or collaborations - Panelists reveal their picks one at a time, explain why and allow others to react. - Picks are not shared ahead of time, so everyone experiences the reveals together. - Panelists compile alternates in case someone else names the same pick first. Thus, we will end up with 20 picks in total! - Picks may be shared in random or non-chronological order.  - Picks may be based more on personal preference than historical context.

    "TRUTH IN RHYTHM" - Bobby Greenlee (Ohio Players)

    ** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in a special edition of TRUTH IN RHYTHM, Episode 349: Bobby Greenlee, a longtime associate of one of the greatest funk-soul bands of all time – the legendary Ohio Players. His relationship with the group began as a teenager in the mid-1970s, when he toured with the Players as a member of The Camelot Dancers. By then, the Ohio Players were world famous for classic hits like “Funky Worm,” “Skin Tight,” “Fire” and “Love Rollercoaster.”  Those fortunate to see the band perform back then, as I did, or catch some of their television appearances, undoubtedly recall those highly entertaining dancers supercharging the Players’ party. Greenlee would go on to become the group’s booking agent and later their road manager, as he remains today. During the past several years, he has been instrumental in helping me line up interviews with Ohio Player OGs like James Diamond Williams, Billy Beck and Chet Willis, of which I am most grateful.
