Album Review
Lewis's most popular album since The In Crowd. Very good for what it is. Gold album.
Customer Reviews
groundbreaking for many reasons
This album is groundbreaking for many reasons chief among them is that this is considered by many to be the first Earth, Wind and Fire album. Not too many people know that Maurice White was the drummer/percussionist for Ramsey during these years and this is the last album he appeared on prior to starting EWF. Maurice's influence is clear throughout this project; listen closely and you will hear Phillip Bailey, Maurice White, etc on this one. If you are an EWF fan, this is a must have.
70s Jazz Soul
This album and song embodied 70s music for me: coming together. Jazz, rock, soul, pop, great production, an incredible melody and spectacular performances by the future Earth, Wind & Fire. I first heard it on the old WSDM (Smack Dab in the Middle) growing up in Chicago and was blown away that one of the city's own greatest jazz musicians had just knocked out the pop stars. This is as close as you can get to a classic. Ramsey Lewis is a Sun God!
To Ramsey
Sun Goddess was conceived, produced for Mr. Lewis from Maurice White and EW&F. White left the Ramsey Lewis Trio in 1969 to form EW&F which had hits (at that time) with "Head to The Sky" et al and Top 40 with "That's The Way of The World." The imprint is Maurice White, but heard and never mentioned is the great production of EW&F keyboardist Larry Dunn who was the backbone of their sound.
