Publisher's Synopsis

Earth, Wind & Fire has sold some 90 million records and won eight Grammy awards. But while its charismatic founder, Maurice White, and Philip Bailey, one of popular music's greatest voices, are remarkable musical talents, their relentless work ethic exhausted and emotionally gutted the group. Now Bailey shares the inside story of his professional and spiritual journey, from his origins to the band's meteoric rise to stardom, and from its breakup to its triumphant reinvention.

About the Publisher

Plume

Plume

Plume was founded in 1970 as the trade paperback imprint of New American Library. In its early history, Plume focused primarily on nonfiction titles, publishing approximately 35 titles per year. In the early 1980s, as trade paperbacks were rapidly becoming the format of choice among a large segment of book buyers, Plume began expanding its reach, and became recognized as one of the pre-eminent trade paperback imprints. The 1980?s saw Plume make its mark with a number of major bestsellers, including Toni Morrison?s Tar Baby, Erica Jong?s Fanny, Russell Baker?s Growing Up, and Gloria Steinem?s Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, among others. Now, in 2014, Plume is publishing 85 to 100 titles a year, and its backlist currently encompasses approximately 700 titles.
