Hey guys, [F#] I don't know why I came up with this topic so late
because I'm a huge Earth, Wind & Fire fangirl
[Dm] I just love the music and when I hear it I instantly want to dance
_ _ _ The band was formed by the singer Maurice White
[Gm] and the bass player is his brother Ferdinand White
and often he's playing a white bass and he's dressed in white
The bass I'm playing today is the new Sadovsky Metro Express 21 Hybrid
of course in white
There is also a Ferdinand White signature bass from this line
Unfortunately it wasn't available for this shoot today
but this should come very close
Let's play an early hit released in 1975
It is called Shining Star
If you want [G#] to stand up and dance please [Bm] do it
