[1975-1979 Best Songs]

Billboard Top 100, 1979, #78

My favorite part of the song September is that "the 21st night of September" was my wedding day. We played this song as the last one at our reception, and it was the perfect finale.

Earth Wind & Fire were a musical powerhouse, and September is their best hit song. The horns are sharp. The chorus is catchy. It's a can't-miss, feel-good song for any party. People know it well enough to have that familiarity, but not so well that they'll be bored.

It's even better if you play it on just the right day.
