Every year when the month of September rolls around, it's cause for celebration for the iconic music group Earth, Wind & Fire. The group released their hit song September in 1978, which is still one of their biggest hits to date, and it was added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry in 2018. The group - which lost drummer Fred White who passed away at 67 last year - is embarking on a new Heart & Soul tour that they're co-headlining with Chicago, which starts September 3 in Seattle.
