Maurice White, co-founder of the band, Earth, Wind & Fire, died on Feb. 4 after fighting a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s disease.

White’s evolution as a singer, composer, producer and songwriter, in a career that spanned four decades, impacted the lives of many who followed his life story through song and dance.

And that includes the many HBCU bands that played his songs.

So, let’s take a moment to pay a small tribute to the works of White by honoring him with some video clips of HBCU bands that performed some of his greatest songs.

Clips appear in no particular order
