Never Was a Cloudy Day: New Remixes Celebrate Earth, Wind & Fire's "September"

Do you remember?

The 21st night of September is nearly upon us, and it's always a bit of a day to celebrate for Earth, Wind & Fire fans. This year, the R&B legends are rising to the occasion with a new video and retro-style remixes of the 1978 smash.

The lead single from The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire Volume 1, a Top 10 hit at the time of its release, has taken on a life of its own. Since 2016, writer/comedian Demi Adejuyigbe has gained notoriety with an annual series of over-the-top tributes to the song. (His fifth annual video, seen below, is purported to be his last - unless fans can raise $50,000 for multiple charities.) It's all a testament to the feel-good vibe of the track as penned by EWF's late founder, Maurice White; guitarist Al McKay and songwriter Allee Willis.

This year, Legacy Recordings is getting in on the celebration, having just issued a suite of remixes by producer Eric Kupper and a new video to match. While it's impossible to top the exuberant original, Kupper's vintage house-style touches make these a fun listen if you're looking for a new spin on an old favorite.

Check out Demi's latest "September" tribute and the links to stream or download the new remix suite, all below.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
