That's the Way of the World is a 1975 album by Earth, Wind & Fire released on Columbia Records. It was also the soundtrack for a 1975 motion picture of the same name which featured several of the band members in cameo roles. Included on the album was the single "Shining Star", which was a #1 U.S. pop and R&B hit. Another popular single was the title track, which reached #12 on the pop chart. The album spent three weeks atop the Billboard Pop Albums Charts and has been certified triple platinum.[1][2] That's the Way of the World was also the third bestselling pop album and the number one bestselling R&B album of 1975 respectively.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 493 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

CRITICAL RECEPTION

The album received generally positive reviews from critics. Billboard Magazine described the album as "a very tightly produced and performed package" and added in their review that "EW&F has some of the finest musicians in any band and the compositions are all top-notch". Music critic Robert Christgau noted that on the album "this unit can do so many things it qualifies as the one-man band of black music even though it has nine members" and That's the Way of the World has also been described by Alex Henderson of Allmusic as "the band's best album" and "one of the strongest albums of the 1970s and EWF's crowning achievement".

That's the Way of the World was nominated in 1975 and 1976 for an American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Album.
