Legacy Recordings announces the release of "Now, Then & Forever," the ultimate single-disc celebration of Earth, Wind & Fire, the iconic American soul-funk-fusion powerhouse which Rolling Stone said "changed the sound of black pop." EWF has been getting parties started across the planet since the group's Chicago inception in 1969 and 2012 promises to be another banner year for the band, beginning with the release of "Now, Then & Forever" on Tuesday, January 31.

More than simply a new career-spanning best-of compilation, Now, Then & Forever centers around favorite tracks hand-picked by A-list celebrity friends and fans of the band including world-class musicians whose work has been influenced or inspired by EWF's groundbreaking catalog.

Celebrity curators who've picked their favorite EWF songs for the "Now, Then & Forever" collection include Andre 3000, Lenny Kravitz, Pharrell, Raphael Saadiq, will.i.am and David Foster, among others.

"Now, Then & Forever" will premiere "Guiding Light," an avidly awaited brand-new EWF song, as well as a new remix by will.i.am. "Guiding Light" provides a hint of things to come from Earth, Wind & Fire, who are preparing a full-on new studio album for summer 2012.

Inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Earth, Wind & Fire has earned six Grammy Awards and four American Music Awards alongside numerous other accolades, not least of which is--with more than 90 million albums sold worldwide--EWF's standing as America's seventh top-selling musical group of all-time.

Earth, Wind & Fire will be presented with the prestigious Legend Award at the 2011 Soul Train awards, airing November 27.
