Earth, Wind & Fire “September” (ARC/Columbia Records)

“Ba-dee-ya — say do you remember?”

Released in 1978, “September” is more than a song — it’s a feeling. Written by Maurice White, Allee Willis, and Al McKay, the track became Earth, Wind & Fire’s most enduring hit. With its infectious horn lines, soaring vocals, and universal joy, “September” captured the magic of a moment that never fades.

It peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a staple of weddings, barbecues, and every party worth dancing at. Despite the lyrics referencing a specific date — the 21st night of September — the song’s energy is eternal.

The 12-inch single was released on ARC Records (a Columbia imprint created for Earth, Wind & Fire) and featured extended play cuts for DJs. The ARC/Columbia label, with its clean design and signature typography, is captured on this tee as it appeared on the original pressing.

If you know, you know. Rock “September” and celebrate music that never gets old.
