Boogie Wonderland: Dancing and the brain

Posted by Staff on July 11, 2024 - 7:22am

By Karen Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

Boogie Wonderland was released in April 1979 by Earth, Wind & Fire for Columbia Records.  The song won a Grammy for the Best R&B Instrumental Performance. Maurice White founded the group in 1969 and the name derives from his astrological sign of Sagittarius. The group was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as well as receiving Kennedy Center Honors in 2019.

In recent weeks, a representative from IGS Energy has been visiting Bluffton residents with an offer to provide them with lower cost fixed electricity rates. If it were not for his second visit, I would not have realized that my participation in the Village aggregation program was incorrectly dropped.
