Where Have All the Flowers Gone - Earth, Wind & Fire - MP3 instrumental karaoke

A hippie classic is recast as a political soul gem in this creamy, fluttery cover from the indomitable Earth, Wind & Fire. Folk pioneer Pete Seeger wrote "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" during the height of McCarthyism in the '50s but the song later played a vital role in the anti-war activism of the 1960s and 1970s, when Pete Seeger's folk career was starting to take off. "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" soon morphed into a protest anthem against the Vietnam War. On their version for their third studio album Last Days and Time – which also included a cover of Bread's "Make it With You", Earth, Wind & Fire rely on Philip Bailey's ambrosial falsetto to breathe new life into meaningful lines like "You don't know what we're talkin' about / When we say there's / There's too many starvin' children / And you don't know what we're talkin' about / When we say we're killing each other / And we just ain't got time for ya brother".
