FEATURED ARTIST ALBUM: "FREE LIFE" - "FREE-LIFE" EPIC RECORDS (1978) ------------------------------------- Philip Bailey of ’70s super group Earth, Wind & Fire produced the singing group Free Life, who charted with the Epic single “Wish You Were Here.” The Bailey-written ballad peaked at number 91 on the R&B charts in early 1979.

Group member Carl Carlwell later became a member of the ’90s group 101 North (“So Easy”), who recorded a couple of albums with producer George Duke: 101 North (1987) and Forever Yours (1991) for Capitol. Also, he was the brother of Minneapolis singer Sue Ann Carwell (“Let Me Let You Rock Me”). ~ (Ed Hogan, All Music Guide) -------------------------------------- (ASWAN FOOTNOTES) ------------------------------------- I've been trying to get with Mr. Philip Bailey who helped produce the Free Life Album back in 1978 for Epic Records .
