The death of Maurice White last week aged 74 has prompted a flood of tributes from musicians of all stripes, touched by the Earth, Wind & Fire frontman’s music.
Now champion of progressive music Gilles Peterson has put together his own tribute mix to the late founder of legendary funk and soul group.
Clocking in at just under two hours, Peterson has avoided many of the obvious hits to put together an immense mix that digs deep into White’s varied output and celebrates his huge contribution to music.
Check out the full track listing and subscribe to the podcast at Gilles Peterson Worldwide.
