Product Description

The hit song September, by Earth Wind, & Fire was written in 1978 and included on the 1979 album I Am. It was composed by Al McKay, Maurice White and Allee Willas. Maurice White's wife Marilyn notes that the lyric about the date - the 21st of September - was significant because it was the due date for their son, Kahbran. Willis was concerned over the gibberish lyric "ba-dee-yah" and begged White to change it. After the success of the song, he noted that "I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him, which was never let the lyric get in the way of the groove".
