Word of caution, though: articles of clothing may spontaneously fly off your body when White "takes it to church" on his final verse and the group starts singing its ahhhhh harmonies toward the end of the track. So you might want to light some candles and be close to someone you love in the presence of this song.

"Can't Hide Love" (Earth, Wind & Fire)
"Can't Hide Love" from the album Gratitude (1975) may not be Earth, Wind & Fire's best known hit. It wasn't even written by a member of the band; it actually was composed by songwriter Skip Scarborough (who also wrote the R&B hit "Lovely Day" for Bill Withers). But it has all of the elements that showcase EWF at the peak of its powers: the tight rhythm section, the unified Phenix Horns, and bandleader Maurice White's tenor growl set against the group's soaring falsetto harmonies. The result is one of the sultriest, funkiest love songs ever recorded.
