Raise!, the eleventh studio album from Earth, Wind & Fire, landed in October 1981 with Maurice White in the producer's chair and his band still firing on every cylinder. "Let's Groove" struts out of the speakers all sleek and shiny, and the rest of the record keeps the party moving on the band's trademarks: that punchy horn section and the play of Philip Bailey's falsetto against Maurice's tenor.
The engine room is a familiar one, with Verdine White on bass, Larry Dunn on keyboards and Minimoog, Ralph Johnson and Fred White on drums and Andrew Woolfolk on sax and flute, plus Roland Bautista back on guitar. It sat at the top of Billboard's R&B albums chart for 11 weeks, reached number five on the Billboard 200, and went platinum in the US and gold in Britain and Canada.
