For a few hours Friday, every one at the Florida Strawberry Festival was a shining star.
Multi-platinum selling, genre bending, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bringers of the boogie Earth, Wind & Fire performed for an energetic crowd Friday. From the moment the band took the stage, the audience was on its feet at the request of founding member Philip Bailey. For nearly two hours after, few sat again.
