simple:
e min. 7
f# min. 7
to b min. 7
perfect!
use e min. in first inversion
then f# min.7 in root position (maybe add f# at top , as well, which leads to :)
b min.7 in 3rd inversion ('A" in bottom) F# at top?
if your hand is bigger keep that F# from 2nd cchord (F# min.7 ) at bottom and reach up an octave to F# above to span A+B+D , aswell
then back down to ii7 (f# minor 7)
then back down to starting chord: 'e' minor 7
Try this approach to voicing (understanding the harmony / how the chords work together):
e + G Major
f# + A Major
b + D Major
Another idea:
from that last voicing:
b + D Major (voiced spanning a whole octave by right hand, with two 'D's, at bottom, as well as top of the voicing),
move the right hand downward:
A Major (1st inversion) with C# at bottom (and top),
then, to :
b minor
and , in turn, from there, down (again) to :
A Major
that leads back to
G Major (and, with 'e' in left hand, that makes the initial opening first chord of e-minor-7th).

Bonus, P.S. :
++++++++
Earth Wind and Fire - "September":
D Maj. , E Maj (no 7th?)
sorry, not E Maj, c# min. 7
f# min. 7 ?
b min. 7
A in root/bass + G Major right hand atop
maybe the progressioN (verse and chorus, the same?):
D Maj. 7 , c# min. 7
to E Major . (Which relates to c# min. 7 and is easy to confuse)
up to f# min. 7
and the A5 + G Maj.
That last chord relates to , same chord in Arzachel
