We are back with another episode of the #SoulBackPodcast. This week we interview Phillip Bailey of the legendary group Earth, Wind And Fire. We've had some big names come through this podcast, but there's no one bigger than Phillip. His group paved the way for many of our favorites and he joins us to discuss the impact of the group on music. He also talks about his new solo album "Love Will Find A Way" which contains production from Robert Glasper. He also shares wisdom about the evolution of music over the last 30 years and what the key is to stand out from the crowd. On our end we talk about new music from Johnny Gill, Snoh Aalegra, Bridget Kelly and also discuss Keri Hilson's comeback. We also touch on Brian McKnight's recent social media video and celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Mary J. Blige's "Mary" album.
