After his classic acoustic albums in the 1960s, the change that was in the air during the 70s enticed Ramsey Lewis toward the electric realm. With this new sound, he collaborated with the enigmatic and iconic, Earth, Wind & Fire. Sun Goddess, the result of this creative summit, was an album with sleek grooves and gorgeous melodies that continues to flow with the upliftng and positive vibes of that time. The album reached across the musical rainbow and, rightfully so, it became a huge cross-over hit; charting #1 on the Billboard Black Albums chart as well as the Jazz album chart and it charted #12 in the Pop chart. Philip Bailey is an R&B, soul, gospel and funk singer, songwriter, percussionist and longtime member of Earth, Wind & Fire. Bailey has won seven Grammy Awards and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and also the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Philip performs as a special guest vocalist and percussionist with the Ramsey Lewis Electric Band performing the jazz and R&B classics which grew out of the two performers' legendary careers. There is a $40-$65 cover.
