Why Earth, Wind & Fire settled on Sept. 21 as subject of iconic song 'September'

Among the handful of songs that nearly everyone can recognize in an instant is Earth, Wind & Fire's "September." The song became the group's biggest hit when it was released in 1978 and features a question that has since then become rather iconic: "Do you remember the 21st night of September?" The lyrics of the song allude to the date being a fun one between two lovers, but the exact significance is never revealed. As is turns out, that's because the significance is a bit murky even to the songwriters.
