Why Earth, Wind & Fire's "Reasons" Is Inappropriate for Weddings

Aired on 11/14/2015 | CC tv-pg
Earth, Wind & Fire front man Philip Bailey recalls how some fans have played the band's hit song "Reasons" at their weddings—a trend Philip and fellow bandmates Ralph Johnson and Verdine White find most amusing.

"It's not talking about real love," Philip says. "It's talking about a one-night stand."

Watch Philip sing the sensual ballad in his familiar falsetto as EWF continue their tour de force performance at the world-famous Apollo Theater.
