Phillip Bailey IS one of the original singers for EWF. Maurice White started the band and sang as lead singer until.... But Phil was always the one singing the parts with the high notes. Plain and simple, Phil is no longer a spring chicken. His voice (as well as Maurice's and a lot of other "old schoolers") is not what it used to be. That comes with the territory. But the performance the other night was wonderful. I was wondering where all of the other band members are? EWF was a very BIG band. They had it all...horns, precussions, bass, etc. They didn't use any modern-day stuff like they do now. That's what made them (along with a lot of other bands like The Commadores, Kunfunction, Franky Beverly and MAZE, etc.) so unique.
