Celebrate the 21st Night of September with Earth, Wind & Fire’s Classic Song, an Amazing Tribute Video and a ‘Virtual Party’ Tonight 9/21

It’s 21st day/night of September — a time for everybody to come together and celebrate the enduring Earth, Wind & Fire classic.
Here’s a video from comedian/writer Demi Adejuyigbe, a viral sensation who’s commemorated the song each year for a while now with jaw-dropping results that are physically impossible to resist:
As for Earth, Wind & Fire themselves, the band started the celebration with a new, updated version of their timeless 1978 hit “September” late last week — shared a few days before the actual 21st of September.
The song has received a rhythmic makeover from producer Eric Kupper, and the whole thing has been turned into a new music video incorporating classic footage of the band set to the new mix of the anthem. Enjoy:
Of all the musical contributions from Earth, Wind & Fire that helped the soul/R&B group earn a reputation that landed the group in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, “September” is probably the most ubiquitous, a “calling card,” if you will, of the group’s musical focus.
Said Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire of the lasting legacy of “September” in a statement:
“When I first heard the mastered final mix of ‘September,’ at our private listening party back in the day, I would never have guessed that such a simple catchy song as it is, and was, would become an all-time global favorite for generations.”
The Earth, Wind & Fire YouTube channel will host a special three-hour “virtual party” tonight beginning at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, hosted by DJ Spinna and featuring appearances from Bailey, Ralph Johns and Verdine White. Don’t miss it!
