    In art history, the term Romanesque art distinguishes the period between the beginning of the 11th and the end of the 12th-century. This era showed a great diversity of regional schools each with their own unique style. In architecture as well as in sculpture, Romanesque art is marked by raw forms. Through its rich iconography and captivating text, this work reclaims the importance of this art which is today often overshadowed by the later Gothic style.

    In Do You Remember? Celebrating Fifty Years of Earth, Wind & Fire, Trenton Bailey traces the humble beginning of Maurice White, his development as a musician, and his formation of Earth, Wind & Fire, a band that became a global phenomenon during the 1970s. By the early 1980s, the music industry was changing, and White had grown weary after working constantly for more than a decade. He decided to put the band on hiatus for more than three years. The band made a comeback in 1987, but White's health crisis soon forced them to tour without him. During the twenty-first century, the band has received numerous accolades and lifetime achievement and hall of fame awards. The band remains relevant today, collaborating with younger artists and maintaining their classic sound.

Earth, Wind & Fire stood apart from other soul bands with their philosophical lyrics and extravagant visual art, including album covers, concerts, and music videos, much of which is studied in this audiobook—which uses new AI narrative technology. The lyrics of hit songs are examined alongside an analysis of the band's chart success. Earth, Wind & Fire has produced twenty-one studio albums and several compilation albums. Each album is analyzed for content and quality. Earth, Wind & Fire is also known for using ancient Egyptian symbols, and Bailey thoroughly details those symbols and Maurice White's fascination with Egyptology. After enduring many personnel changes, Earth, Wind & Fire continues to perform around the world and captivate diverse audiences.

    It hit me the other day after publishing my one hundredth book on Amazon that I had authored enough books that I could easily publish a catalog of my favorites..  I checked and I'm the only author on Amazon today who can boast a catalog of all his greatest hits.  I'm not bragging, nor do I expect to win the Nobel Prize for any of these great ideas, but that's not because they are not worthy of the great award, but because I have as yet to make any of them become household words or ideas.  I hope your reading of this catalog will change all that and propel at least one of them up to the bight spotlight of nationally known and/or generally accepted ideas made from pure genius.  When you read this book, please make sure you are ready to have your mind blown and at the same time are relaxed, undistracted and sitting in your favorite chair, bed or sofa.  At least one of these ideas could and should change your life.
