Fun Lovin' Criminal Huey Morgan talks to some of the original members from his favourite funk-pop band Earth, Wind and Fire just ahead of their UK Arena Tour.

Their career spans over 35 years, they've picked up 7 Grammys and have turned out countless disco classics, ballads and dance anthems including 'After The Love Has Gone' to 'Boogie Wonderland' and 'Let's Groove'. The band are still touring with original members Verdine White, Philip Bailey and Ralph Johnson. Huey talks to the guys about their 70's heyday, Verdine's hair and their continued longevity.

DJ and remix-artist Jaguar Skills takes up the baton for 'Sharing Is Caring', choosing rare or personal cuts from his record collection to share with Huey and 6 Music listeners. Jags is a bit of a shy guy though so he asked his voiceover guy to step in with rather special results.

Also on the show Huey spins an eclectic mix from his personal record collection from Led Zeppelin to Primal Scream, The Drifters, The Kills and Theolonius Monk. Huey dials up his old friend DJ Uncle Mike for a slice of New York on a Sunday in 'New York Minute', talking about a legendary night club in the musical history of the city that never sleeps. And listener Alex Hansen takes time out from a kids birthday party to pick a rare soul jam for 'Vinyl Fetish'.
