The latter of which he met his longtime wife, Wanda Hutchinson, who was an absolute delight as a recent guest on the TRUTH IN RHYTHM show. One of Vaughn’s most famous creations was the ultra-infectious 1981 pop-funk song, “Let’s Groove,” which was one of Earth, Wind and Fire’s biggest crossover hits.
