Before his untimely passing in February of 2016, MAURICE WHITE left an indelible mark on the music world. Whether through his unmistakable work with his group EARTH, WIND & FIRE, his solo music, or songs he produced and wrote for other artists, the musical genius of MAURICE WHITE remains unparalleled….

When award-winning songwriter/producer Preston Glass started working with “Reece” back in 1987, the first result was a number #1 chart hit, Earth, Wind & Fire’s “System Of Survival.” In the ensuing years, Preston and Maurice formed a mutual respect and a songwriting bond that lasted for nearly 30 years that resulted in over 40 songs. Some of the final songs and demos have now surfaced in this twelve song unique collection.

Soul Music Records/Platinum Garage Recordings is very proud to present “Manifestation” tn honor of one of the greatest music contributor of our time.
