Maurice White, one of the founding members of the incredible Earth, Wind & Fire passed away aged 74 after a very long battle with Parkinsons disease.
Maurice had stopped being active with the band since the early 90s due to his condition, but prior to that he had contributed to all of the classic EW&F albums and he had collaborated with other artists as well, like Ramsey Lewis, The Emotions, Deniece Williams, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond and more.
