It is quite easy in hindsight to look back and point out all the boneheaded decisions by radio program directors and music directors. The sheep in the industry failed to recognize this great song in 1978, as it only reached #32. My research showed it to be one of the most popular songs of that year, and time has proven that right. Just a great, great song.
"Fantasy"
by Earth, Wind & Fire
Words and Music by Maurice White, Verdine White & Eduardo DelBarrio
Every man has a place
In his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true right away
And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever, as one
Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to the kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true miles away
Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will live love forever, as one
Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life, a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
As one, come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review
And as you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day, shining day
All your dreams come true
As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
I'm free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way
Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review
