When Earth, Wind & Fire released “September” in 1978, it quickly became one of those songs that seemed impossible to sit still to.

With its energetic rhythm, bright horns, unforgettable vocals, and instantly recognizable opening, the song became a favorite at parties, weddings, family gatherings, and dance floors across America.

Decades later, “September” still has that same effect. Whether you first heard it on the radio, at a neighborhood party, or on a crowded dance floor, those opening notes can bring back memories almost instantly.

It became one of Earth, Wind & Fire’s signature songs and remains one of the most recognizable feel-good hits of the era.
