Lionel Richie, Earth, Wind & Fire bring home the classic soul during concert at CFG Bank Arena

Celebrate. Let’s Groove All Night Long.

You know the songs. And if you were at CFG Bank Area on Saturday night, you got to hear Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire revisit them and other great soul hits of the ’70s, ’80s and today.

Richie, 74, the former lead singer for the Commodores and now a long-running judge on TV’s “American Idol,” and legendary band Earth, Wind & Fire stopped in Baltimore as part of a national tour. The performers have dozens of Grammys between them, so there was no shortage of familiar songs to sing along to.

This was Earth, Wind & Fire’s second stop at the venue this year; the group performed at a private concert at the arena in April as part of its grand reopening following a $250 million makeover. The arena has played host to a long list of R&B and soul music legends over the decades, from James Brown to Otis Redding, Sam & Dave and the Impressions.

Here are some images from the night of classic soul.
