I am 72 years old and standing on my last legs. Everyone else in my family has passed away. I grew up in Detroit, Michigan, with every one of those persons in that video had sat at the dinner table eating my mother's cooking between 1955 to 1962. We lived at 5745 Loraine Street, just a 15-minute walk from Motown Studio. In 1956, I attended Esterbrook Elementary School, which was then located at the corner of Linwood and Mcgrew Av. Today, the Detroit Police has built a training center there. My sister Rose was a writer, office worker, and the girlfriend of Elbridge "Al" Bryant during Motown's early years. Their relationship lasted 6 months. She was a close friend of "Tony Franklin"..., the wife of Melvin Franklin. My family was close to the music business in Detroit, since its arrival to Detroit in 1936. Like all immigrants, we lived in "Black Bottom" on Russell Ave just north of the Russell Cemetry. Then moved closer to the church, when we moved to Waterloo Street. Where from our back door, you could see the old Gobel Beer Co.. And I grew up with the Franklins, including the great Arthea Franklin, and her cheating father, who slept with my mother. The "asshole". Arthea's father and my father was good friends for 15 years until he slept with my mother. The two of them broke my father's heart. In 1958, we moved to 1927 West Warren, where I attended Handcock Elementary School. Rose was working at the 20 Grand Ballroom, when she met Jackie Wilson, and went crazy. By 1960, we moved to 639 Horton Street, following all of our friends and fellow gangs, where we met the Ross Family, Dianna and her mother and all the rest of them. Even Smokey had moved to that area by then. I attended Palmer Elementary School. Which was right down the street. By 1963, Rose and Berry Gordy had stop being friends when Berry refused to play her the $434.00 he owed her. Because Berry was always robbing Peter to pay Paul. So, she quit..., and Rose went to work for Stax Records in Detroit for about year, then left the music business and went into Nursing. Where her found her calling. Rose passed away 2014.
Wow, thank you for sharing your story. I felt like I was reading z book. You should write call memories of motown . It was good read it really was and so sorry for your lost 😢 my mom almost got an audition but my grandmother would let her do it because she was a church girl and very strict on her children. And it was probably during this should that she was discovered my mother could really sing and was very cute and had a great figure even as a young girl . But thank you for sharing I grew up in Detroit too born in 1967 .
Enjoyed your words…you’re just a few years older…keep standing brother…we also lived there during those years…mainly west side neighborhoods…Monica/GrandRiver, Darylrymple/Burlingame, Otsego/Collingswood, Pasadena/Linwood, Hazelwood/Lasalle…Music was everywhere, it kept us hopeful as kids…even while watching the buildings burn during riots…one of the guys the cops shot at the Algiers Motel died on our block (Philadelphia/Woodward)…We’re still here and “MoveN on Up…”
Stevie and I lived in the same neighborhood as kids before he went to Hitsville. Stevie’s about 3 years older than me. He and his family lived around the corner on Breckenridge. His brother Calvin and I loved to throw rocks at the freight trains. We were very young, now we’re all seniors. Where did the time go. And Steveland became Stevie Wonder making his mark in the music industry. What a talent.
@@susej1able omg! We moved into that raggedy house on Breckenridge that Stevie moved out of…I remember seeing an old pedal-piano with the metal music roller…we also found a lot of pictures…thanks for mentioning Breckenridge! We walked a few blocks to the elementary school…Was it named Columbia?…so long ago…
Stevie looks like he is being ushered offstage very abruptly . Was he being treated OK , are you aware ? I've always been a big fan , and was maybe 3 years old during his " little " days of this appearance . I do remember Satchmo and Kennedy's demise in Dallas in 1963 , though . Stevie stole my heart with the depth of his performances , as Louie Armstrong touched my soul .
American history at its finest! Words cannot describe the joy I feel that this part of music history is still with us. Thanks to the people or person who had saved this film.
Wow! This is so cool! The Supremes before they had radio hits showing their talent went beyond the songwriters. Marvin Gaye all the way live and Little Stevie still rockin' as he was led off. A good time had by all!
I'm 72 years old, and I remember this very well, why? Because my older brothers went to this concert and I was too young to go. They came back saying how reat it was, and talking about Stevie Wonder. "They had a blind guy there who was 12 years old, he can sing and play like nobody's business. What can you do?" They also bought back a concert album, which I still have, and a 45rpm recoerd Stevie Wonder "Fingertips". This was at the Apollo, but there was another one at the Brooklyn Fox. My brothers used to go to all the Motown Concerts, they were sponsored locally by a DJ "Murry the K".
@xylfox Yes, I know. He was a popular NYC radio DJ back in the day. I still have the two Mowtown Albums that my older brothers bought at the Apollo and the Brooklyn Fox Theater. They both say, right on the front "Presented by Murry the K, the Fifth Beatle."
Everybody say Yeah! What a great piece of music history here! All of them- The Supremes, Marvin Gaye & a 12-year-old Stevie Wonder right at the beginning of or shortly before their really becoming famous! Amazing stuff!
I watched this with my older brother on TV at the Lake Lucerne Lodge in what used to be called Orlando, the City Beautiful in 1963. We knew he was a superstar. Songs in the Key of Life may be the best double album ever recorded. Thanks for bringing back a memory for us.
My brother brought home the 45 rpm record Fingertips in 1963 he was the musician - not me. I was 8 and he was 14. Big brother has made his living making music his entire life and he's still my hero
Stevie released a song two weeks ago; "Can We Fix Our Nation's Broken Heart." It's on UA-cam and it's beyond beautiful. Apparently, he's going to do a short tour in the eastern states in October. The song should be heard by everyone, especially if you love his "classic period" albums in the '70s.
I saw him 10/12/24 in Philadelphia. It was the first time I had seen him since 1984. I really don't go out much these days but I'm so glad I stepped out that night. Almost all of my favorites are gone so it was really good to see Stevie, & he's still great.
A brilliant musician whose work will be celebrated and enjoyed for generations to come. He still gets out and about in the Encino community in California’s San Fernando Valley.
wow what an amazing piece of early footage of Stevie,Marvin and the Supremes.i grew up loving all these and they were the first music artists i saw live in concert as a teenager.i gotta say,i was so interested to see how raw their performances were in this film!! the Supremes singing doo-wop, Diana's voice not so refined yet,Marvin looking more like James Brown with his high kickin dancin! and his raw vocals! Stevie the cute child prodigy. never in all my years seen this before! shows how Motown taught them how to be more sophisticated, choreographed,and vocal coached.....
My Philly friends, brothers, Marty & Jerry and I attended this concert when it was at Philly's Uptown Theater just before the show played The Apollo Theater in New York's Harlem ! Great memories 1961-mid-1964 to see all the great artists appearing in Philly prior to their Harlem concerts!
hi Veronica, some months ago i watched some of older and newer videos of Detroit. They explained that it used to be one of the nicest, oldest cities of the States. There are still a lot of old buildings standing, nobody wants to buy as they would have to be restored. So eventually they too will be demolished. In one of the comments further up, somebody talked about the region around Motown, and that one could not find any of the old streets (buildings) of that time. It is such a shame. They showed one couple who had restored an old victorian house and it became sooo beautifull! Me as a european, cannot understand that there is so little of historic sense, pride by politicians or communities. It surprises me even more, as so many american tourists come to Europe to admire its heritage. In Germany you'll find houses still standing from 15,16,17, 18th century! If somebody owns or buys one like those, the government helps financially for the restauration. Btw, I loved the story of some of Motowns history and their musicians told by *kennye6088*.
He released a song two weeks ago; "Can We Fix Our Nation's Broken Heart." It's on youtube and it's beautiful. Apparently, He's going to do a short tour in the eastern states this October.
It's amazing to see them all when their talent was so raw and not yet as refined as we know they became. Just an indication of the time, work and learning that went into the artistry that has become as much a part of American history as anything else. Stevie outshined them all. No wonder Marvin didn't want to go on behind him.
Little Stevie Wonder - what a godsend! If you’re ever near DETROIT be sure to book a time to visit the MOTOWN MUSEUM!! See the tiny studio and instruments that EVERYONE IN MOTOWN PLAYED!! See the candy machine that Stevie ordered his candy bars!! 🎤🍫 Truly an amazing experience!!
Agreed! It was so humbling to see Berry Gordy’s apartment right above studio A. Being inside of the building where legends were created was so inspiring.
In 1963, I was 10. In England.. I had no idea this was happening. What a smooth running machine this show was. The way they attended to Stevie and made a seamless encore performance. The band were all so terrific and made the event fabulous. The Blues and Soul came to me years later. Thank you
I have my Hohner Super 64 X on my dresser in my room. This video pops up and, I suddenly realize my teacher is playing in front of me. Just follow along where you can until you feel it. That beautiful offset counter balance to everything SW does helps him understand where he is in space. The tis how the telescopes like the James Webb navigate. They are always off a little though, because only rhythm is perfect. Look up Solomon's "Song of Songs" He wrote 1005 of them. He used his best to power his 60 mile wide flying carpet. It was round like a turntable and all it took was the right rhythm to power it. It's all in the Bible. God Bless:)
Hohner was and still is the best for Harmonicas and Accordeons! We bought one for the columbian musician Aníbal Velásquez when he visited Germany, as his own was no longer good after more than 40y of playing!
I'm the same age as Stevie and as soon as he appeared on television I was an immediate fan and wanted so badly to do what he did on harmonica I saved my newspaper money and went and bought a Honer chromatic harmonica and soon discovered that there was no way I was going to be able to play that thing remotely well. 25 bucs was a lot of money bac then.
13 year old Stevie Wonder has so much talent at such an early age--my goodness these licks are crazy for a 13 year old to be destroying. Even as a Dylan snob this is probably the best and most entertaining harmonica solo ever, preformed by a 13 year old Stevie Wonder.
Way back when, my mom was teaching elementary school in Royal Oak Township near Detroit. One day the principal brought into her classroom a blind kid that the principal said was a musician. My mom said all the kids knew who he was, and the whole classroom erupted into pandemonium and she then told the principal to please get this kid out of her classroom. My mom came home and told my sister and I about this. We were in shock. Our mom threw Little Stevie Wonder out of her classroom! Imagine that!
Thank you for sharing your personal story about Stevie! Poor little Stevie, but a great story and testament to how his music and how he as a person impacted America in positive ways!
I'm Puerto Rican and grew up in Boston loving these artists. They don't make music like this anymore Motown and Fania records. It's Thanksgiving evening, had dinner and hoping the Detroit Lions win the Super Bowl. I know it has nothing to do with music but I think it would be great for the people and city of Detroit. Love from Boston and Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 🇺🇸

I went to that elementary school on Warren and McKinley, was called Columbian elementary.

I'd imagine the filming schedule "Timing" had something to do with it, plus he's blind so can't have him tripping over.
Stevie has not changed. The head movement, his speech, his musicality. God blessed Stevie true and pure Genius. PERIODT!
Spirit pouring out of him for us! Magnificent!
He doesn't buy his sunglasses from a petrol station anymore though.
@@ceeemm1901😂😂
period*
@@Graphaeli No it's "Periodt". If you're black you know.
Lets see. Stevie, Marvin and the Supremes. These kids seem like they might have a good future in music.
yeah, they might have a future if they stay with it and keep practicing. especially the little black, blind kid. 🤣🤣
Ya’ know, you might have a point…
Who would have thought😂
Indeed. That just might.
@@RAMbo-209And of course MARVIN GAY!!
There will never be this kind of talent again. These were surely the greats of all time .

My mom was at the Brooklyn show
This is not a concert, this is a show and revue!
Stevie tore it UP !!Look at the musicians .. Listen to the audience !! I Remember first time hearing this song on the radio in 1963 !!!!😅😅😅
I was only 9yrs ole at the time.
So impressive, Steve wonder was genius since childhood. Amazing❤❤
Stevie was the standout star in this reel.
Everybody say Yeah! What a great piece of music history here! All of them- The Supremes, Marvin Gaye & a 12-year-old Stevie Wonder right at the beginning of or shortly before their really becoming famous! Amazing stuff!
I was their concert in Philly at The Uptown Theater just before it went to Harlem.
Marvin was about that "Super Star" life💖 Mr Stevie Wonder is just blessed, Genius 💖💯
A raw, grooving, authentic presentation of some
legendary artists with respective supporting musicians.
Stevie…wow…astonishing. Heart and soul, Baby.

Agreed! Thank you for watching and supporting our channel!
My favorite album, "Songs in the Key of Life".
One thing about r&b music is truly the greatest entertainment from the singer to the band to the guy who introduces them r&b is the greatest
A brilliant musician whose work will be celebrated and enjoyed for generations to come. He still gets out and about in the Encino community in California’s San Fernando Valley.

Thank you for sharing your story! Great to hear stories like yours!
Amazing. I can remember them on radio out of people's windows because nobody had air-conditioning. Slower pace and kinder people. 😊
Been listening to the live version of 'Fingertips' for ever. Great to see it on film. The band are disciplined and tight. Lotsa class on display here.
Indeed, he is genius and very very gifted.
Great music 🎶 and raw talent at it's best and you didn't have to give up butt 😮 for a contract, precious memories ❤ 🎉🎉🎉

Stevie just seeing you perform at 12 years of age I think you will do great things.........
My GOD, Stevie Wonder was so gifted and I wish he was still making music but I know he wants a break after working so long starting at 12 years old!!!
He released a song two weeks ago; "Can We Fix Our Nation's Broken Heart." It's on youtube and it's beautiful. Apparently, He's going to do a short tour in the eastern states this October.
@elainewaller-rose9707 I found it and it sounds good.
He still makes music matter of fact he's about to tour
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS INCREDIBLE VIDEO. 😊😊 BRINGS BACK GREAT MEMORIES !!

Thank you so much! This was an unexpected treat.
I had his live album. What happened to the Mary had a little lamb part at the end?
Wow! That was so beautiful to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The best music...love from Argentina...stevie and marvin very deep in my hert...al jarreau..lou rawls...
very cool listening to young , fit stevie doing the BLUES... on 'harp' and by singing!

Truly an amazing experience!!

Stevie is a genius. But this harmonica piece may be one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. And he is 12 years old.

This is rare! Marvin's first hit. Stevie's first hit. And a song that The Supremes did before their first hit was written!
Not his 1st hit
Well his forth single release but the first to actually chart, so his first Hit
I remember hearing about Little Stevie Wonder playing a concert at a VFW Post 1 block from my home in West Covina, Ca.
That young woman dancing with Marvin. Good thing she wasn't too near him with that kickin.😂😂
Thanks for sharing this and sharing a part of you.
Thanks for watching!
Music. The universal language of love and inclusion.
Yes!! Thank you for your contribution and support!
I'm going to share this video with everyone, thank you 😊
Awesome thank you!
Marvin was outstanding! Dude could move and a great voice. I wish they had shown the Supremes singing.
Stevie only 12! And he went on to do so much.
“Fingertips” still sounds good!
Awesome story. Thank you.
Great 👍
Marvin killed it with 'Hitchhike' and wow! I didn't know that he could dance😊
Wow just wow 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐💐💐💐
Wowza!
Absolute musical genius!!
Yes, sir!
Stevie killed it
The 60s and 70s were the era of Detroit Pride. Motown shook the world. And still does.
💯
They should've let stevie rock it out til the very end.
Hard to believe they were teens motown had them looking so old.

I'm Puerto Rican and grew up in Boston loving these artists. They don't make music like this anymore Motown and Fania records. It's Thanksgiving evening, had dinner and hoping the Detroit Lions win the Super Bowl. I know it has nothing to do with music but I think it would be great for the people and city of Detroit. Love from Boston and Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 🇺🇸

Amazing talent and music.
I won a transistor radio in 1967, and tuned in to Top 40 East San Jose and Stockton, including all of the above.

Those lovely Supremes - the beautiful dresses . Women were so much more stylish back then .
Stevie’s harp sound is the most recognizable imo. Almost sounds like an accordion
