Hey all! This was clipped from our 50k sub special, back when we were in my mom’s guest room, shout out to her for letting us use it then! Our first time ever checking out Stevie Wonder!! Hope you guys enjoy this extra vid, see you tomorrow! 🙌🏻🔥❤️
Do bad live from Rotterdam 1990 plz By U2 been asking for a while
Hey on watching the movie - are we watching as rock music fans or as cinema fans? I wanna know what kind of comments to make.
Was wondering if old or where did the Freedom Shack go?
@@peterquinones3522 Rock Cinema fans... 😜
@@markburnam1244 It's old!
Stevie Wonder was so badass, that when Paul Simon won the Grammy for best album in 1976, during his acceptance speech he thanked Stevie for not releasing an album that year.
I loved boogie on the reggea woman was my favorite from stevie
I SAW that on tv when I was a little kid.
I remember that...damz...lol
That happened with Metallica and Jethro Yull too lmao
Stevie was king of the 70s. Period.
You know what makes Talking Book extra special? Stevie himself (who is blind, for those who don't know) did not only keyboard, but also drums and bass for most of the album. What a legend!
"Everyone knew what they were doing". Especially the drums, the bass, the clav and the singer: they knew very well each other!
One person, Stevie, was three of those people.
Absolutely no computers, no pinching off others, no autotune: simply world class TALENT! (Oh for the old days, says 68 yr old in UK).
And then you realise that Stevie was 22 when this was released...
Really omg !!!
Whoa!
Whoa!!
Originally, he was called "Little Stevie Wonder", because he was just a kid when he had his first hit, "Fingertips".
"Talking Book" is a CLASSIC album. Every song is fantastic!
"HIGHER GROUND" is my favorite song on the album. It's FUNKY, for sure!
Stevie played every instrument on this album, except for guitar, which was played by Jeff Beck.
One of the funkiest tunes in the history of music.
Seconded!
Can’t think of a funkier one.
Get the funk out
@Doug Sawyer What is an example of White Boy music? Brahms?
Katherine agreed. (Love Stevie) !!
What else makes your list?
Mine
1) Sly Stone -Thank you(falletme be mice elf agin)
2) Sly Stone Thank you for taking me to Africa
3) Curtis Mayfield. - Move on Up
4) James Brown -Superbad
5) P-Funk - P- Funk wants to get you funked up
That, gentlemen, is the classic 70s funk sound. Stevie Wonder is iconic. His album Songs In The Key Of Life...also iconic. Give it a listen sometime!
Songs in the Key of Life is a desert island-album for me. Innervisions, too. Both are masterpieces.
Songs in the Key of Life would be a essential album to do whole.
Hell yes! And Sir Duke, Hotter than July....
Love this song! But it is only one of so many great songs by the amazing Stevie Wonder. 😊👍
Definitely agree. Songs In The Key of Life is an absolute masterpiece!
The crazy thing about Stevie is that he played most of the instruments on his albums. On this song, he’s playing a Clavinet, Moog bass, playing drums and singing. He’s one of my favorite artists.
I find it fascinating that anyone could live on planet earth for 20 or more years and not have heard Stevie Wonders Superstition.
Same. I’m 43 and wondering if this means it’s starting. lol
Me too!
This generation was born into a selective listening era- think about how many times we heard these classics play over and over on radio before the internet was a thing.. to us it's a classic but the newer generations need to be actively interested in music from before their time to even know it
I'm 61 yo. I heard this song in the '70's...became one of my favorites forever.
You are correct...very correct.
"First Stevie Wonder song!" I think I just fainted.
Gatekeeping at its finest
@@gorbscat2058 What does your comment even mean?
Stevie Wonder is Mr Music. A cultural icon. And a body of work almost 60, yes, SIXTY years long.
Well, he did start out credited as "Little Stevie Wonder" at the age of 12. He was legendary right off the bat--it's almost impossible to play a chromatic harmonica like he does!
Not to mention he's blind.
That’s Stevie on the drums too! He’s a musical genius. “Songs in the Key of Life” is a double album that is a must listen to in full.. 🔥👏🏼
@@Lisse1 Not exactly a correction here, but the album had a third record. It's a 33&1/3, 7" EP with 4 more tracks
"Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" - my favorite Stevie Wonder song.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
My favorite is I Was Made To Love Her.
A great album of the same title.
Your next Stevie Wonder listen - “Livin for the City”
One of my favorite Stevie songs.
Yes!!!
The first one I thought of too.
I’m not the biggest fan of his but there’s a surprising amount of his stuff that I like ! Just so damn catchy!!
YESSSSSS
My first wife walked down the aisle in '75 to his You ARE the Sunshine of MY Life! Oh, yeah.... she's still with me !!
Stevie played the drums, calvinet, other keyboards, bass. Everything.
Jeff Beck on guitar
A GOD like Stevie,and this is your first song by him?!?
I dont believe it,there are many you know but dont realise it.
Stevie Wonder has a catalogue even The Beatles would be utterly proud of.
Respected by every artist in every genre,this is a rabbit hole that will change your life.
And I highly recommend this rabbit hole!
I know!!! How anyone into music can not know Stevie's work is mind boggling.
Listen to it all!!!
It's a narrowcasted world we live in, brother. Kids really don't know! But kudos, because they want to know. 👍
Stevie was everywhere on the radio in the 70s. Every one of his albums was chock full of singles hits, and it seemed like there was always a Stevie song in the rotation on the radio.
Except that one song he did with a Beatle.
Andy: "The correct answer is always the longer one." almost 100% of the time
The big thing with Motown's singles, remixes were very common, but not with many other record companies' 45s going that far back into the earlier 60s. Right from Smokey's "Shop Around" early on, Berry Gordy insisted on rerecording AND rereleasing a new version of a song--if it didn't sound right to him on radio. Shortly later with better multitrack recording, the mono singles were often mixed differently than a stereo album cut. Even then Berry sometimes quickly rereleased a remix of a potential hit to boost its chances for success through radio. Into the era of stereo 45s and FM radio, Motown's single versions are what made people love those songs. It's cool to catch the differences
That’s what she said !!!
That’s what she said.
Lol .. right!!!
Not for safety dance. The shorter version is better.
Here's the thing: Take the whole Stevie catalog - slap an S on it. Done.
Fr
No joke!
facts
Amazingly, AMAZINGLY talented man. What could the man NOT do musically?
Of course 😉
Stevie was more than just a great musician, he was a musical pioneer. A absolute genius.
Was?!
@@terribanks8633 - IS.........(my bad!!!) ...
Stevie Wonder through headphones is an experience in itself! You hear overdubbing background singing and instrumentals you don’t hear otherwise. He’s the best. ❤
The fun thing is Stevie played ALL the instruments on this version.
Pretty sure the horns were by some other pros... I've seen sax player Trevor Laurence and trumpeter Steve Madaio mentioned elsewhere.
He didn't play the horns. Lawrence and Madaio played.
Stevie Wonder - lead vocal, Hohner Clavinet, drums, Moog bass
Trevor Lawrence - tenor saxophone
Steve Madaio - trumpet
@@jaykirby7387 That's right.
@@GreggOliverBass Perfect. He didn't always play ALL THE the instruments, but he could play MOST of them, and often did.
"I Wish" should be next. "Higher Ground" should be after that. Amazeballs grooves on those.
did Higher ground a month ago
I could go for "Higher Ground" but also really like... Sir Duke 🎩... and Isn't She Lovely. 🌷
These are more light hearted songs than Superstition, of course.
X2 on “I Wish”
Unless you are a 13 year old girl with braces from like 15 years ago, they should deny you just on the mere fact you said "amazeballs".
Good choices. I would add "Living For The City."
My high school days--when AM radio played EVERYTHING. When a Stevie/Jimi/Glen Campbell/CCR /Stones block was the norm.
'Boogie On Reggae Woman' and 'Sir Duke' are his finest, IMO. Stevie is a musical genius. No doubt about it.
stevie wonder has such clear, lucid, PASSIONATE VOCALS with tremendous octave range !!!!!!!!!
A major vocal inspiration for moi!❤
Check out the early 1970s clip of Stevie performing this live on the set of Sesame Street. A badass triumph of television history.
Yep. It's on YT now.
Funniest for me--my time watching Sesame Street started in the mid 70s, so when I finally saw this, my jaw landed downstairs.
Amazing performance.
My introduction to Stevie at age 4. Sesame Street ruled back then. They also had Paul Simon, Ray Charles, James Taylor, and Judy Collins.
That performance on Sesame Street is literally my first memory of hearing music.
One of the things I love about Stevie is that when he sings and he ornaments his melody, you never feel like he's showing off his pipes. He always serves the song.
Great comment. Very underrated as a singer.
Which makes the perfect singer IMO.
Ladies and Gentlemen... National Treasure... Stevie Wonder!
"Boogie on Reggae Woman," "Master Blaster," "As," "Sir Duke"
Great taste, @Frankincensed.
Boogie on reggae woman, oh god what a song man
I must have been a soulful 13 yo kid because I loved this song when I first heard it in 1972. I loved Motown and other R & B music.
"Higher Ground" would be an excellent next choice. And yes, Stevie plays a Moog synth much in the same way Ray Manzarek of The Doors, Keith Emerson of ELP fame and Rick Wakeman of Yes. These keyboardists have such command of their left hands that they can hold their own on a song, and even take over a tune!! Stevie Wonder is the real deal!! 💜❤❤
Being Black Blind and a Piano player Motown first marketed him as Little Stevie Wonder, a Ray Charles knock off, he was just 11 when they signed him. It didn't take long for his genius to shine thru, and the Motown formula to fall by the wayside. He is brilliant and does not get enough airplay these days.
Surprised you didn't mention why his harmonica playing was considered amazing, and IIRC it's what first caught Mr. Gordy's ear.
The type of harmonica is chromatic, which is almost impossible to play the way Stevie always has. The ones used in blues and country are made so it's easy to 'bend' between notes. Chromatics are usually straight notes with a side button-plunger-type-thingy for flats and sharps.
(Been forever since I tried playing them, and memories came from old fogs, so if I'm full of it, so be it lol)
You are absolutely right! We need to hear more Stevie!!!
Ran home from school to see Little Stevie Wonder on Bandstand. "Fingertips Part 2 is unbelievable harmonica work. Still holds up. Goosebump inducing.
I’m 63, grew up 50 miles from Detroit... praise Jeebus my parents listened to Motown music.
☮️
@@georgedowd5277 Is Jeebus a Knock off Jesus ?
I heard this song so many times on the radio that I got sick of it. And then I heard it for the first time with headphones and it's like hearing it for the first time.
A clean original 45 of Superstition is stereo, and the sound for its time...? A. Maze. Zing. Sweet n crisp highs, steady mids, and a few levels of bass to rumble and pound the floor.
You should hear each instrument's isolated track.....they are here on YT.
Do Living for the City next- and make sure it’s the long version- guaranteed to blow ur minds
Amen!!
Amen!!
YAAAS!!
Glad you guys are branching out into some Motown sounds....Check out "Poppa Was A Rolling Stone" by the Temptations.....perhaps the best produced track ever recorded.
Oh wow, GREAT suggestion! "...and when he died, all he left us alone..." What an amazing song!
and "shaky ground"
That intro to "P.W.A.R.S" is a compositional MASTER PIECE!!
@@jamiesivad6443 Definitely...it was the pinnacle of the Motown Sound.
One of the saddest set of lyrics ever set to music.
Thank you for putting this out - Stevie is a gift from God.
Please, guys. This is the song that virtually put the Hohner Clavinet D6 on the map. Best. Leo.
It doesn't matter what record I've heard it on, genre of music, or regardless of how buried/prominent in the mix, I've always loved its sound. Lots of great Canadian records have it.
My wife is in shock that you guys never heard this before. Lol!! Epic song. Next has to be Livin’ For the City, Higher Ground, and Sir Duke. Many more hits but these you’ll dig.
your right on, as much as i like what these kids do...it saddens me that they really have not heard so much greatness of the era (1965--80), they are scratching the surface of all these great artists at least...most young people will never hear any of all these super groups and individuals!!
Yes!!!!
Of course they've heard it before. The song crops up so often.
Stevie played all instruments except the horns. What a great drummer he is.
“Livin’ for the City’. Stunning...
I see someone else wrote "Living For The City" as the next possible Stevie Wonder reaction. Couldn't agree more! This was his funk phase, and as you already noticed, he's very good at it. It was the soundtrack to my youth.
Gotta admit, I was working up some serious "don't make me pull this car over" dad energy if you guys didn't give this an 'S'.
His impact/influence on music cannot be overstated. The term genius is thrown around far too frequently, but not when it comes to Mr Stevie Wonder. And he’s playing every instrument ( except for Guitar which is the great Jeff Beck.l I forgot about that! )
Ummm....you mean either “overstated” or “underestimated” here. 😂
Everything but the lead guitar which is done by Jeff Beck
@@chrisgross2043 I always forget that, and I really shouldn’t!
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 As an English major, I am hanging my head my head in shame, and in fact have now shamed myself verbally, and am getting ready to walk naked down the street while someone with a big bell 🔔 yells SHAME at me. . Thank you, I corrected it.
@@sukie584 ahh, nothing better than a game of thrones reference on a Stevie wonder video. This is the peak of youtube right here. Except for maybe a Stevie wonder reference of a GoT video. That’d be cool too.
The great Jeff Beck messing around on the drums in the studio. Stevie says , keep playing that.....and joins in and the rest is history !!
Saw Stevie opening for the Stones concert back in the 70s, a true legend in every respect.
Living For The City will blow your mind. His best ever!!
The „Songs in the key of live“ album is a legendary milestone of pop music. On par with „Highway 61 revisited“ , „Abbey Road“ or „Dark side of the moon“. The world of music would not be the same without the genius of Stevie Wonder. He is one of the greatest of all times. And i mean ALL times.
I always considered "Innervisions" to be Wonder's greatest.
Yep.
Alex is moving his head just like Stevie!
Hahaha That's funny! I noticed that right away as well!
😂 Yes he is.
Just add dreads, and there you have it! 😁
Stevie's voice is it's own instrument....he's a virtuoso. He's on the Mt. Rushmore of pop.A couple of my favorites from junior high school. (yes I'm old) "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing", "Boogie On Reggae Woman".
You're right. He has an incredible voice. I love it when he gets that snarl in his throat. He's diggin' deep!
The live on Sesame Street version is also amazing. I am in awe of that sound engineer. The dancing kids were sooo fun. And of s course, Stevie and the band.
One of my most watched videos on youtube
Seeing youngsters listening to this level of music -- Stevie Wonder is musical royalty -- and appreciating it gives me a sense of wonderful warm comfort. His entire catalogue is worth attention!
lest we forget he's been blind since birth and can play 10 instruments.....he can tell you about colors being blind better than you can looking at the color.....songs in the key of life is all you need to join him in music appreciation....this guy is a genius.....has 40 grammy's ....his talets are endless.....a big part of my life from the 60's til now
Check out “Don’t You Worry ‘bout a Thing” off of his Innervisions LP. He puts some Latin in his Soul. Love his rapping to a Latina in the intro trynna impress her with his Spanish.
Todo ‘sta bien chévere
Ya, one of my all time faves! Thanks for mentioning:)
A&A, love horn's? Stevie's "Sir Duke" is next for you!! Stevie is the GOAT's GOAT!!
Back around 1972 I’ll got tickets to see the Rolling Stones. I was super excited. Stevie Wonder opened for the Stones and he absolutely blew me away, not only with the complexity of his music but the fact that he played so many different instruments as well. I hate to say it but when the Stones came out and played... they were totally anti-climatic after Stevie Wonder. I was disappointed with the Rolling Stones (imagine that!) but Stevie Wonder totally made the night. He’s amazing!!
You will be blown away by anything from Stevie guys, absolutely anything.
I gotta say there is nothing that MR.Wonder has ever done that isn't in the great category .
Please check out live from daryls house. Everyone from smokey Robinson to joe Walsh. They go there to jam. No rehearsal. You have to be a bad ass too get invited.
Well.... there *is* rehearsal, but it's very limited... A pass or two then they roll tape. and the band studies up in advance.
The CeeLo Green episode was incredible and fun.
@@MrKilobaked My favorite is the Diane Birch one.
The O'jays session is phenomenal too!! If you wouldn't think about checking them, don' t think twice, amazing!!!
the Todd Rundgren episode is great!
Glad to see this. Gotta get into more early 70’s R&B, Isley Bros., Sly, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, and more Stevie. It will open up a whole new world if music.
love early 70's soul like the Stylistics too
In the words of Eddie Murphy: "Stevie Wonder is a musical genius!"
Don’t be talking no shit about Stevie Wonder, I’ll f#ck you up! 😂😁😎
Wow. As an old guy I've never been impressed with "reactions" to songs I know well. But Andy and Alex are letting me find joy by hearing songs with new ears. Thank you, guys!!
"That Girl" by Stevie is a treat. It was a huge hit in the '80s.
"Golden Lady" off Innervisions is smooth and saucy
Mistra Know it All is as well. Anything off Songs in the Key of Life.
Stevie Wonder - lead vocal, Hohner Clavinet, drums, Moog bass
Trevor Lawrence - tenor saxophone
Steve Madaio - trumpet
Jeff Beck was over at the studio where he was adding some guest guitar work to the Talking Book album, and Stevie was going to write Beck a song in payment. Beck started fooling around on the drums, and came up with the drum part. Stevie joined in on keyboards (clavinet), and wrote the rest of the song. Wonder's management said there was no way Stevie was going to give that song away. There is a UA-cam video of Beck, Bogert, and Appice performing the song later, where Beck starts the song off using a talk box. Beck and Wonder perform it together at the Rock and Roll 25th Anniversary Concert.

@@mauriciopeltier7861 Thanks.
Visions in our Minds...or...I Always Start to Cry...or...Master Blaster...or...My Cherie Amor... 7 DECADES of music from this man!! ...You Are the Sunshine of my life...Higher Ground...
Superstition is a timeless jam. I'm jealous you're hearing it for the first time just today. Find Higher Ground, listen to it, take a sip and enjoy.
Now try the “heavier” version by Beck, Bogert & Appice. By the way, I’m so old, I remember when Stevie Wonder first arrived on the scene as”Little Stevie Wonder!”
Haha with Fingertips
Nothing sounds heavy coming out of a flea powered smart phone.
Yeah I saw him do Fingertips part 2 live on Swingingtime with Robyn Seymour.
This song has always been a favorite of mine since I was a child and I'm now 50 and have never tired of it. One of my former musical acts covered it as a duo, more in the SRV form than the SW form, but we just couldn't come close to reproducing the quality. This is a masterpiece.
Next: LIVIN' FOR THE CITY !!! from his masterpiece Innervisions.
Innervisions is my favorite Stevie Wonder album.
Yes!!!
@@sharoncarlisle9453 yes. next came bloody songs in the key of life and there ended my interest in him.
Living For The City - Stevie’s greatest song ever. It’s not even close
Agree.
stevie wonder played drums,"moog"bass,and the hohner clavinet which sort of sounds like a harpsichord !!!!!!!!!!!! stevie wonder BROUGHT ALL THE RACES AND CREEDS TOGETHER IN SUCH "HARMONIC" UNITY !!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,,,also from that album check out "lookin' for another pure love" where jeff beck plays guitar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The correct answer is always the longer one." That's what she said.
Except for their reaction to Dire’s Strait’s long version of Money For Nothing. Which us 80’s kids are totally fine with! 😁😉
LOLOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎤⬇️
😮😉😂
Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life" is quite possibly the greatest double album ever produced. IMO.
This is one of those songs that can be recognized before the first note is played. That is how distinctive that drum beat is.
There is a video of a live version of Superstition in Paris where he is joined on stage by Prince. Really really great.
Living for the City is another must hear!
Stevie has endless hits. So many amazing songs. Check out Master Blaster(jammin), boogie on reggae woman, living for the city or I wish. You really can’t go wrong with Stevie.
The lead in drum beats were compliments of Jeff Beck. He was just mucking about in the studio, with the drums on a break. Stevie liked it and used it for the lead in on the song.
Yessss Jeff Beck!! Then Beck released a version on the 1973 Beck, Bogert & Appice album.
Live version of Stevie Wonder "Living For The City" is too damn good.
This was my first album purchase at the age of 10, 1972. Love every single song. Thank you for bringing it back and enjoying Stevie so much 🥰🙏🏻. He is in the fabric of my life.
"Everyone knew what they were doing. They played for the song." Thing is, "everyone" was Stevie and two horn players. Stevie plays drums and keys (synth bass, and clavinets).
Stevie Ray Vaughan has a version of this on his "Live Alive" album. Though it may lack Stevie W's 3 (or 4) dimensions of sound, it makes up for in BASH.
Well ya gotta give it to Stevie and DT for making a 3-piece band sound that big.
And there's a version of Stevie Wonder and SRV together (with Jody Watley, Salt n Pepa and Brown Mark too)! ua-cam.com/video/tBEkolNNfJc/v-deo.html
This song was written by Wonder for Jeff Beck. Check out this version
"I Wish" should most definitely be the next Stevie Wonder Song you react too!! So Funky, Cool, and Not P.C but true!!!
A Hohner Clavinet is the instrument used for the main riff. It plucks strings with a plectrum like a harpsichord or clavichord, but has electric pickups. Stevie played all the instruments except the horns, including a Moog for the bass, and the drums. One of the greatest songs ever from his best period; early to mid-seventies. Try "You Haven't Done Nothing (aimed at Pres. Nixon over his handling of the Viet Nam war)", "Maybe Your Baby" (nastiest, funkiest riff ever), "Higher Ground", "You Are the Sunshine of My Life (his best ballad)" "Don't You Worry About a Thing", "Boogie on Reggae Woman", "I Wish" and "Sir Duke (tribute to jazz great Duke Ellington)". The man was absolutely en fuego for about 5 or 6 years! Thanks and keep going with Stevie!
Peace from SF
So happy to see you two listen to Stevie on your channel, he’s one of my favorite artists of all time! The more you listen the more you’ll love.
Stevie Wonder is a musical genius!
Some interesting trivia behind this song. Stevie originally planned on giving the song to his friend, guitarist Jeff Back. Instead he kept if for himself and had a Number One hit with it. To make amends, Stevie wrote another song for Beck- 'Cause We Ended as Lovers.'
Following Barry's post... Stevie Ray Vaughan wanted to do Superstition. Stevie Wonder let SRV record it in his studio (even appeared in the video). Stevie Wonder said in an interview that he wrote the song to have a guitar lead. Check out the SRV version.
When I was a kid I used to play Name That Tune with my friends. I once guessed this song in ONE note.
We played a version of that on the piano. You play one note at a time and others guess your song. One time I won with the song I Believe by The Lettermen Same note for all of these words: "I be- lieve for ev-ery drop of..." √8 times on the same note, then a note change} "...rain that falls".
@@Manageode If I heard that progression in another room, you'd probably hear me guess Cherish by The Association lol. Great harmonies in both them and The Lettermen (...and 4 Freshmen, thus Beach Boys...and 4 Lads...and Mills Brothers...and The Clovers...and...and...) 😉🎶🎶🎶🎶
@@djhrecordhound4391 oh that Cherish pick is good!
Next for Stevie: “ You Haven’t Done Nothin’”. The intro alone will funkicize you body and soul..
This album is a must have for any collection. It’s unbelievable !
Stevie Wonder is a friggin’ Legend. He couldn’t write a bad song if he
tried. “Living In The City”. 🎹🎶❤️
Next up..."As" by Stevie Wonder. It'll knock your socks off.
Yes! With both Stevie Wonder AND Herbie Hancock on the keys!!! 🎶🎹
THIS...WHAT THESE LADIES...^^^^...YES!!!!
(Translation: I agree--your minds will definitely be blown away)
😉🎶🎶🎶🎶
YES
Absolutely -- a religious experience
This song and Master Blaster such classics , Sir Duke or I Wish , masterpieces
Sir Duke is crazy, a must
Love‘s in need of love today!
@@Rainyman63 Yes! All the songs from 👍🏻 the album Songs in the Key of Life a Masterpiece truly ,
Definitely...👍
Sir Duke, most definitely!!!!!
One of the all-time best songs, period, from anyone
One of the last Musical Geniuses left on this Earth. You guys have to do more Stevie Wonder songs. He was 12 years old when he had his first hit
Just so you know, the clavinet jammed through a wah wah was first done by Garth Hudson in The Band, Cripple Creek.
Is that what Herbie Hancock used on "Chameleon"?
@@lisarainbow9703 Yes!
Oh, yay!
I missed the live stream, and was unable to find this when I heard you had reacted to it. So happy to finally see it.
you guys should listen to Rick Beato's track by track breakdown of this...it is amazing...you can even hear him directing the horns in the background...
Stevie was/is incomparable in rhythm, vocals and writing. His is a deep ocean to dive into. As for great organ playing, may I humbly suggest looking at Billy Preston's career. He played with the best bands, always elevating their work. He's been called the fifth Beatle for his keyboard work on their later releases. Great analysis as always, guys! You have trained ears that don't miss much. 👍👍
I've seen a number of guitar gods do covers of this song (including both SRV and Jeff beck), and despite being a guitarist myself, they just always come up short. That clavinet sound is just so key to this song.
Jeff Beck came up with the idea for this song along with Stevie, it’s less a cover than more ‘his song’
@@siamesevodka Yeah, no, that's not what happened. Whichever origin version you believe, the fact remains that Wonder holds 100% of the song writing credits. The Wiki version says that Beck was playing the drums in the studio and came up with that intro, but everything else was Wonder. If you have evidence to the contrary, I'd love to hear it.
@@kilroy2517 You’re right, I think I heard a second hand version of what happened when the song was created. Thanks for the correction.
