Maurice White's Dream Of A Boogie Wonderland Was More Than A Fantasy

Earth Wind and Fire was known for their distinctive album covers.  Some interesting background info  as well as a sampling of cover art can be found here.

I had wondered if there was a connection between their art conception and Sun Ra, who was known for his Afro-futurism.  As it turns, there was.  This excellent tribute article to the late Maurice White mentions it, as well as other great info.
