Earth, Wind & Fire Performs On Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert (1973)
Here’s Earth, Wind & Fire performing “Keep Your Head To The Sky” on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert (1973).
Maurice:
In late September 1973 we, along with the Rolling Stones and the Doobie Brothers, recorded the premiere episode of Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert on ABC-TV. We performed “Evil” and “Keep Your Head To The Sky,” wearing outfits designed and tailored especially for us by Martine Colette, an up-and-coming costume designer in Los Angeles. The outfits were flashy, but since they were made for us, it at least felt like an upgrade.
I wasn’t pleased with the performance. We were rushed in and rushed out, and I felt slighted.
