In the Name of Love is the 17th album by Earth, Wind & Fire. It was released in 1997 on Rhino Records and was produced by the band's leader Maurice White for Kalimba Productions. The album was originally released in Japan only, under the title of Avatar; this pressing contained a different track list than the more widely released version.^[6] The track "Love Is Life" is a remake of its namesake which appeared on the band 's debut album, Earth, Wind & Fire. In October 2006, In the Name of Love was reissued on White's label Kalimba Records, with the three songs only found on Avatar as bonus tracks.^[7]
