Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Columbia's 1998 collection of Earth, Wind & Fire's Greatest Hits in many ways
stands as the group's definitive compilation. Even though there have been
more extensive overviews of the group's work, such as the triple-disc set The
Eternal Dance, this is the first collection to contain all of the group's biggest
hits on one disc. All but one ("Love Music") of the ten songs from 1978's The
Best of Earth, Wind & Fire are included, while six of the ten songs from The
Best Of, Vol. 2 are featured; the remaining two cuts on the 17-track collection
are the minor early single "Kalimba Story" and the album cut "Gratitude."
These are fine additions to the album, but the true meat of the collection lies
in the hits -- "Shining Star," "That's the Way of the World," "Sing a Song,"
"Getaway," "Got to Get You Into My Life," "September," "Boogie Wonderland,"
"After the Love Has Gone," "Let's Groove," and so many others. They might
not be presented in chronological order (the only flaw in this otherwise
flawless collection), but it's a sheer delight to have all of the hits on one
terrifically entertaining and valuable disc.
