"Shining Star" is a song by Earth, Wind & Fire issued as a single in January 1975 on Columbia Records.[1] The song rose to No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the Billboard Hot Soul Songs chart. [2][3]

Overview

Shining Star was produced by Maurice White and composed by White, Larry Dunn and Philip Bailey.

The song also came off EWF's 1975 album That's The Way Of The World.[1]

The concept for the song came to White while strolling at night during the band's recording of "That's the Way of the World". He was inspired by looking up at the starry sky and took his ideas about the song to the other band members.[4]

Shining Star has also been certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.

It appears in a 2017 TV commercial for Walmart, in which their 1.5 million associates - "shining stars" - are thanked for their work during the Christmas season.[7]
