About this product

Product Information

With more than 90 million records sold and eight Grammy awards throughout its 40-year history, Earth, Wind & Fire has staked its claim as one of the most successful, influential, and beloved acts in music history. Now, for the first time, its dynamic lead singer Philip Bailey chronicles the group's meteoric rise to stardom and his own professional and spiritual journey. Shining Star is the true story of what happens when real life exceeds your dreams, when the power and pain of building a legacy brings both joy and faith-testing challenges.

Reviews
"An energetic memoir about a complex individual and his music." ~Kirkus Reviews   "Fans of Bailey's music will find him a warm and occasionally very funny guide through the elements of this American band that Rolling Stone declared "changed the sound of black pop." ~Publishers Weekly   "[ Shining Star ] is a memoir of a man, a band, and a vision.... What may impress the most is Bailey's honesty in relating conflicts that eventually tore the band apart, as well as his own shortcomings." "If you've ever been a fan of Earth, Wind and Fire (and who hasn't?), buy this book!" ~Ebony   "Ninety million records sold. Eight Grammy awards. Lot of platinum and gold records. And lead singer Bailey's leaping multi-octave range. The numbers speak for themselves, but Bailey has more to say in this memoir, which ranges from Earth, Wind, & Fire's early years to founder Maurice White's disbanding the group in 1983 to Bailey's solo career (which gave us "Easy Lover") to the group's reuniting and eventual ascension to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." ~ Library Journal A fun read overall, especially for the many EWF fans still out there. ~Booklist -- all, "An energetic memoir about a complex individual and his music." ~Kirkus Reviews   "Fans of Bailey's music will find him a warm and occasionally very funny guide through the elements of this American band that Rolling Stone declared "changed the sound of black pop." ~Publishers Weekly   "[ Shining Star ] is a memoir of a man, a band, and a vision....

Book was listed as 'very good' condition, but when it arrived the cover had stains, creases and folds, and a small tear on one edge. It was packaged ok and the packaging was not damaged, so this was not something that happened during shipping. I messaged them and they replied quickly and instructed me to initiate a return through eBay. I was refunded the full price in less than an hour. Great customer service!
