From F A R O U T magazine… When Clapton had begun working out his first chords on the guitar, he was initially knocked out by what he heard in the song ‘I Was Made to Love Her’, released while Wonder was still going by ‘Lil’ Stevie Wonder’ and performing both at the piano and with a harmonica. For all of the great music Wonder could make on his own, Clapton was just as fascinated with the backing band he had behind him. Reminiscing on hearing it for the first time, Clapton would consider the song to be the first major time he listened to what a backing band was capable of, telling BBC Radio 4, “It seemed to be a changing point in music for me. I heard it in the 60’s and the bass playing in this song by James Jamerson changed R&B and rock and roll radically overnight, I think”.
