Dec 28, 05 | 9:02 amBrother Charles Stepney is one of the the most unsung heroes of music to this date! I am still waiting for someone who has worked with him over the years, to get sick and tired of this as I am, and write a book or do a documentary on his life and music. The world needs to know who this man is, and his indelible contribution he made to music.

Nov 28, 05 | 2:43 amlet me tell you all something. CHARLES STEPHNEY was a genius.Way ahead of his time. He is the GODFATHER of the EARTHWIND&FIRE sound we all love so very much. He tought MAURICE WHITE how to really go to the next level.Thank GOD for him.He has not got the credit that he truly deserves.I say that because I probably am the biggest EWF fan on the planet...

Mr. Stepney's family has started a foundation in his honor. Please visit http://www.charlesstepney.org/index.html
