Los Angeles, CA Theyre one of the most inspirational, influential
and successful bands in music history, and have consistently changed
the face of R&B and pop music over the past 35 years. In 1975, their
breakthrough hits Shining Star and Reasons were the featured songs
on the soundtrack for the film Thats the Way of the World. Fresh on
the heels of their 23rd album, Illumination, BCI, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Navarre Corporation, will release this long thought
lost film Thats the Way of the World on DVD July 18th, at a
suggested retail price of $19.98. The title will also be available
this summer in the HD-DVD format. Featuring an array of special
features, Thats the Way of the World explores the politics that
surround the recording industry and a producer trying to fight the
system, and stars Harvey Keitel and Earth, Wind & Fire.

Earth, Wind & Fire has reached iconic status in the music industry,
earning a plethora of accolades too numerous to mention, said Ed
Goetz, President, BCI. This film and soundtrack helped skyrocket
their career, and were pleased that it will finally be available to
the widest audience possible.

Throughout their illustrious career, Earth, Wind & Fire has earned
eight Grammy Awards, four American Music Awards, eight double
platinum/Top 10 Pop albums, eight #1 R&B singles, a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame (2000) and Lifetime Achievement honors from the NAACP, ASCAP
and BET. Their recently released album Illumination from Sanctuary
Records features collaborations with such artists as Brian McKnight,
Kenny G and Will.I.Am of Black Eyed Peas.

Thats the Way of the World stars Keitel as Coleman Buckmaster, a
highly-regarded record producer who appreciates the talent of The
Group, played by Earth, Wind & Fire. But the system under which
Buckmaster works sees things differently. The record executives want
him to focus on a white pop act whom they feel has the sound America
wants. To keep his creative integrity, Buckmaster carefully begins
to fight the system that has made him the respected producer he has
become.
