Asia & BJ, you’ll love his “Sir Duke”, “Superstition”, “Don't You Worry 'bout A Thing”, “ My Cherie Amour” and dozens more!!!!! He played amazing harmonica on his first hit “Fingertips Part 2” at age 13 (1963), back when he was ‘Little Stevie Wonder’.
Stevie is a genius. Livin' for the City is a classic.
One of the most supremely talented individuals to ever grace this planet. He played all the instruments on this track (with the exceptions of the congas).
Genius Stevie…
Stevie Wonder play piano, harmonica, drums, moog bass on this song. A musical genius.
while blind wuuuuuut?
@@icmman7 You never heard of Ray Charles, José Feliciano, Andrea Bocelli? Don't need eyes to lay it down.
This is the time period where Stevie Wonder was running on 8 cylinders on every hit song and album. From 1972 to 1977 he was untouchable. They were backing up the Grammy truck like every year for him back then. Classic greatness
He and his two mad scientists pulling the plugs and cords on their magic musical keyboard setup!
So very well spoken........
Yes, the harmonica was his so-called "calling card"....what he had perfected before he was a teen. I was fortunate to have seen him as "Little Stevie Wonder" at the Michigan State Fair in 64. He's one of a kind... SUPER talented!!!!
I don't know how they stay in their seats for the 1st two minutes! One of my favorites, ever...📻 🎼🎵🎶
Stevie could always bring the FUNK
Stevie Wonder was one of the first to come out with that hard funky keyboard sound which alot of R&B artists used in the late 70's and even more in the 80's. He was the granddaddy of that sound, that is for sure. After this song, he came out with SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE, an incredible masterpiece, easily one of the best albums of the 70's.
of all time.
I'm surprised yall haven't done more Stevie. Hes one of the top 5 greatest artists of all-time
You’ve never heard Stevie Wonder?????? Hard to believe…YOURE GONNA LOVE HIM as everyone always has! Do “Superstition” next. SOON
I can’t believe this your first Stevie Wonder. You could do a hit song from him every day for a year and never hit a bad one.
A truly multi-talented musical genius, I feel like we'll never have another Stevie.
On this song as in most of this album, he played all the instruments, even drums. Somebody else is playing the congas though.
the bass lines done with the synth is one of Stevie's great innovations .. he changed the way bass lines and accents were implemented into rock music .. he was only 24 when he created this music
"Higher ground"
" Living for the city"
"I wish"
Stevie is music, without him there would be nothing to listen to.
He has so many hits over his long career--"Ribbon In The Sky", "Stay Gold", "Part Time Lover", "I Just Called To Say I Love You" "Isn't She Lovely" "Higher Ground" "As" "Living For The City" "Happy Birthday" "Overjoyed."
Living For The City must be the album version, live versions always cut out the arrest section.
If you read his album covers, he plays almost all the instruments. His harmonica playing is distinctive, I heard a 98 Degree album and said, that's Stevie Wonder - I was right! He's unbelievably talented.
I cant believe this is 50 years old. Stevie Wonder has yet to be matched in his ability to create great music.
That song is all stevie - vocals, drums, harmonica, piano, bass synths, clavinet. He is truly a musical phenomenon!
Stevie's music along with Aretha is part of the soundtrack of my life. There is not a phase of my life that one of Stevie's song is not in it. I'm 60, so it's been a long time.
I used to think Prince was the most prolific musician ever, but Stevie is a hit machine. I have them as the two best ever.
You were right about Prince. They were both child prodigies musically though. It may seem like Stevie is or the organ to but it’s a brother named Clarence.

Wife here..I Looooove this song!!.He is sooo INCREDIBLE it's hard to pick your favorite from his AMAZING catalog!!..But, this is in the top 2 of his for myself!!...And that Piano.., Funk and Harmonica PURE TALENT!!🥰❣
SW opened for John Lennon's 1972 concert - then on December 8th, 1980, during one of SW's concerts, he stopped to announce that Lennon had just been shot and killed in NYC. On the Paul and Linda McCartney album Red Rose Speedway from 1973 - is written in braille on the inside back sleeve..."we love you Stevie!"
There are musicians (like Mr. Wonder) and bands (like Sly & The Family Stone) that makes my memories of the 70's magical. This is one of those songs that takes me there.
Stevie Wonder is one of the most innovative musicians/singers that came out of the 60's/70's/80's and on. His library of music is incredible and you cannot go wrong playing any of his songs. My two favorite albums are Talking Book, and Innervisions. Every song is a gem. Please do react to more Stevie Wonder, you will not be disappointed.
I got to see Stevie in concert in 1988 or 1989...
Best concert I've ever been to... And I still go to live shows frequently.
Best concert. Stevie has all those keyboards around him in a huge circle and he had a grand piano towards the front of the stage. His name was super tight but none of them compared to Stevie
In a league of his own. So many great songs through the years.
The man is a living Legend plain and simple.
I forgot about that killer harmonica solo.He used it a lot in his earlier records.
he plays the heck out of those keyboards also!
To me the most impressive song he does is For Once in My Life. It's so amazing because when it was recorded he was 17! You have to hear how he sounded at that age. It will blow you away.
I’m so glad somebody finally reacted to this song. This is my favorite song by him a total jam!!!
As is evident from this track, Stevie is the Groovemaster Supreme! I'm hard pressed to think of anyone else from his era whose work was comparable to his. Yes, Marvin Gaye, Yes, EW&F; I even put him above MJ for overall creativity because he wrote most of his songs. Innervisions is just one of his masterpieces - world class excellence on multiple levels.
There is Stevie Wonder,then there is the rest.
GOAT
@@TheCornishCockney I totally agree! He is the greatest of many true greats!
Please check out 'Living in the City' a Stevie Wonder classic!
This neat tune was composed for woman''s liberation of the 1970s. This composer can't see and that's his strength.
"got a little funk in it" understatement of the century
You really should see Stevie do Sting's song 'Fragile', backed by Sting and his band. Stevie's vocals on that are absolutely incredible, and his harp work is just as good.The look on Sting's face during the harp solo is priceless. You need this in your life!
Stevie, Wonder by name, Wonder by nature. Amazing Genius! 🥰
He started on harmonica say yes
Fingertips was the song
Wow, where would this crazy world be without the music genius of Sir Stevie Wonder , even with so many other genius singers , music artists, producers and such, not many can compare to the sheer music master songwriting, production, arrangements and melodies he created , all while being blind, only SIr Ray Charles did the same . So many other recording artists, old and young carry their artistry through Stevie Wonder’s influence, the greatest living musical genius’ of the last 50 decades.
4:03 interestingly enough, this is the *only* Stevie Wonder song to use a diatonic harmonica! (The kind normally associated with, say, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, or Little Walter.) Most of the time he’s playing a chromatic harmonica, which you can hear Stevie play on songs like “If It’s Magic” or even the harmonica solo on Elton John’s song “I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues”.
Musicianship, y'all !
Love this song! He's the best. He played the harmonica on his very first hit song, which was when he was 12 or 13 yrs old.
He was 12. Fingertips Part 1 and Part2
Stevie can play EVERY instrument just as he plays the harmonica
Stevie Wonder can actually play every instrument in the band... including the drums....go down that rabbit hole it's worth the Journey.
Harmonica made him famous, Finger Tips was his 1st song
Genius with sound and instruments, prolific songwriter (see the many albums and single hits suggested below), social activist (Dr. King's national holiday) spiritually aware ("Innervisions")...his songs cover everything in the human experience. From his 1st appearance on the Lawrence Welk show (about 16 yrs old with harmonica) to playing 2 keyboards and a synthesizer during live performances - "Legend" covers it.
Nobody teaches Stevie,.....Stevie teaches you!
Stevie 1st song was fingertips when he was 13.. This song featured his harmonica playing.
.
Stevie Wonder…….God of music.
Stevie Wonder put out a lot of great music 🎶
Stevie Wonder was way ahead of his time on this track
The GOAT.
Too good.
It’s Stevie Wonder, all of his songs are great
I saw Stevie in concert in 2014. One the best days of my life, at 67. See him if you can! He sounds the same and is a joy!
One of Stevie`s songs that people seem to forget, because he was so young when he recorded it is " Yesterme yesteryou yesterday " ( the original version )...You both will love it.
Gotta love Stevie's funky stuff. Speaking of Funk, you still gotta give a listen to Tina Turner - Funkier Than A Mosquitoes Tweeter.
Let me tell you The Masta Blasta mr Wonder is absolutely Magical. In his presence you feel as if you are amongst the Angels.. he makes you wanna cry, you become a child again
Livin just enough for the City, Jesus children of America couple of great tunes from the 70's. Little Stevie Wonder from the 60's too. I was made to love Her. You would enjoy 😉
He played harmonica for several stars. Great session musician. Played the chromatic harmonica. Very hard
permanent playlist since it was released all those many years ago...cannot go wrong with Stevie Wonder!!!
Harmonica. Stevie kinda taught himself. He had a great book that illustrates the principles well for him.
One man band. Can write sing produce arrange. Can do it all. An absolute music genius. One of a kind. Paul McCartney said stevie wonder makes him want to retire. Once a century talent.
His greats hits has some of the best and most unique instrumentation you will ever hear!
I was in seventh grade at that time. Good memories
Stevie is one of the top 5 most talented music performers ever, if not the top (definitely GOAT potential). And somehow, he has a song like this which is totally underrated. Great song
Now we're in the biiiig time when you are dealing with Stevie. A true genius.
Stevie is a GOAT ' he writes for other singers.
Asia, He played every instrument on many his recordings
Yes! The genius Stevie Wonder! This song is one of my favorites of his; he has such a huge catalog! Fact: My family knows to play his song “AS” at my funeral; please react to see how poetic and soulful he is!!! ❤
Seriously you all had not heard Stevie Wonder until now??? How is that possible.
On this album Stevie played all the instruments. His other big hit from this album was "You Haven't Done Nothing", his ode to the politicians (mostly Richard Nixon) of the day.
Asia's face says it all! Stevie is the BEST!
this song and I Wish are so funky !
Phish does a amazing job covering this song. If you haven't heard it look it up.
Have y’all listened to Fingertips part 2. Stevie was 13 years old. It’s so good!
Damn good choice,love it
I love so very many of his songs but this is still probably my favorite. It came out when I was in grade school and I had just gotten this combination FM AM radio and cassette deck recorder portable thing for Christmas and third grade and one of the features of it was that you could dub directly from the radio onto cassette tape and so I would listen to the radio and when one of my songs came on especially something new that I didn't know if I would hear again or not I would punch record and build up these compilation tapes basically and I captured this one on it. And I played it over and over and over and it was on the radio a whole lot at that time.
Everything about this song totally slays me. Everything. And especially, being a musician, I just appreciate so much his ability to not only play but just to put songs like this together. Every layer in this song is pure fire but that Moog bass just gets me every damn time. It's just so amazing and funky and percolating in between spastic fits of just totally going off and it works against that incredible drum beat so well and the piano and then it plays back and forth off of the long harp solo at the end so well. And I love the way he slurs his words like he's borderline drunk. I've also thought for a long time that it's really poignant the fact that some of the lines in here about he wishes he could see these women dancing he wishes he could see them in the raw under the stars above and so forth, the fact that he's blind just adds a certain something to the effect of that.
Plays all instruments on this one! (and many more) The harmonica is on fire, but what about that bass (bass synths and clavinet)? One of the Funkiest bass lines ever! 😎
one of my all-time favorite songs. I used to crank this up on my stereo system when I was getting ready for work and it was so loud that it made the lights dim to the beat. by the way I love rock and roll, hard Rock and I'm a 60 year old white dude, but I absolutely love this song always have!
He usually plays the chromatic harmonica, but here he plays a diatonic, the kind they play in the blues.
Boogie on Reggae Woman features Wonder's signature harmonica, although not his usual chromatic type but instead a diatonic A-flat "blues harp." The song is also notable for Wonder's pulsating Moog Synthesizer bass-line. The lyrics are designed as a dialogue between "nice" and "naughty" intent, including the introduction to his harmonica break, which incorporates Wonder's casual but repeated question, "Can I play?". Following the conclusion of the vocal, the harmonica is reprised for the remaining seventy seconds, concluding the last thirty bars of the tune, to the fade. The song peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #1 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart for two weeks between 1974 and 1975. Don't be fooled by the title: the song doesn't contain any reggae or boogie music, but rather R&B with funk and blues influences.
Man I LISTENED to this every time it was time to pick up my 18 year old girlfriend! this was our love making song in the day- Yup... You guys brought back my finest hours! LMAO! This song would still be a major hit today! FUNK AT ITS FINEST! Thank you both...
Omg! When song was out they would pay this song every morning on the Radio when we were getting ready to start our day. My Momma loved this song!😅
Can't go wrong with Stevie
Now we’re talking! Always loved this one✌️
Thank you so much for this reaction!!! More Stevie please😊
Check out "Sir Duke". It's got an amazing groove.
my all-time favorite song, and the best opening lines of any song
My favorite artist
I loved looking at their reaction this is what I grew op on, He taught himself. Glad I found yall.
Please play Stevie's first hit at the age of 13, Fingertips
He played every instrument like 8
On the album at 13!!!
When Stevie got a cut, he bled MUSIC. One of the most talented musicians ever.
My favorite parts of this hands down are the little piano tinkles at the end of the title line, and him asking himself, can I play? Lol phish did this live and while I’m not a big Phan of their originals their covers slapped and this was no exception.
When I was a little kid in the 70's my dad had a 1966 Chrysler Imperial sedan and one of my earliest memories was of him playing this Stevie Wonder 8 track tape in that big car.
Oh my God it's you guys again lol I watch something with you everyday you're more addictive than the pandemic!!!!! Thanks so much for going back to my teenage years to win dancing was the fun thing to do and listen to music was the only thing to do! 💕
Omg, I love this song, Stevie and reggae what a great combination.
Boogie on
Asia gets it - most legit reactions on YT and that’s not just a harmonica Stevie blows a chromatic harmonica extremely difficult.
There are few with this much funk in them
Yes Stevie Wonder taught himself how to play the harp. He is the greatest at it.
One of my top 5 favs from Mr. WONDER. Thanks for sharing Asia and B.J. love this channel.
