@Lucifer C Obviously you don't know his five decades of hall of fame quality song writing and many many albums, oh and instrumental talent other than the keyboards, as well as his vocals. All that and being blind by the way. If THAT is not genius level talent to you then I am sorry for you for not knowing his music. He may not float your boat, and I have my favorites other than Stevie, but you can not deny his work and longevity of his work. Again that is genius in most people's book.
@Lucifer C but to say Stevie Wonder is Not a brilliant artist with his given Multi Grammy winner, HoF accomplishments and not to mentioned helped form the Motown sound is downright Disrespectful. Who are YOU to judge?
@Lucifer C a huge majority of music fans says otherwise but hey, you do you and keep being miserable and hating well proven talent. Lets see what YOU can do as an eyesight challenged person, think about That for a minute.
@Lucifer C Im not the one judging here. I Praised SW's talent and appreciate what he left us in his career. YOU are the one coming in here judging and dismissing his contribution to music. But it doesn't surprise me that you said that, in fact I was expecting that from you for some reason.
@Lucifer C Yes NOW I'm judging your comment but I wasn't before or SW, only because you're being utterly ridiculous... again, You Do You and live long and prosper with your hateful heart.
Yes It's a clavinet, is like the electric version of a harpsichord. btw in fact the riff evolved off a guitar - it was something Jeff Beck came up with. Beck admired Stevie - they were friends - and were recording in the same studio around the same time. Between album sessions, Stevie came up with the opening drum beat - yes Stevie played the drums later on the released recording too. Beck told Stevie to keep playing while he improvised the riff over the top of it. They did most of the song like that on the spot. So, Beck and Wonder created and recorded a rough demo for the song that day. Most people associate Jeff Beck with his instrumental version of 'Because We Ended as Lovers' which was written by Stevie Wonder - was given to him as an apology to for releasing "Superstition" first. Becks 'Because We Ended as Lovers' is likely the most famous version of it - I did not know there were lyrics to it until after listening to Stevie's version after hearing Beck's.
@@tommack9395 Yep, and Beck later covered the song with guitar playing that riff on his Beck, Bogart and Appice album. And clavinet is actually an electric version of a clavicord, doesn't sound like a harpsichord much at all.
did you hear the Jeff Beck version? I was one of Beck's biggest fans but I think his version was awful. Beck and Wonder were friends, I wonder why they didn't just do the song together.
@@TooSkinnyKenny Yep, I think it was on the Beck, Bogert, Appice album. I thought the guitar part sounded cool but the song and singing sucked at the time. I never liked Beck's bands aside from the early Rod Stewart stuff and his fusion band for Blow by Blow.
In the Seventies, Stevie Wonder was the Boy Wonder - everything he touched turned to gold. He could do no wrong. He had a couple of mind-blowing albums, albums I still play all the time. His artistic output (volume and quality) in the Seventies was unbelievable.
This is one of the most amazing songs of the 70s, a decade FILLED with amazing songs. :) I think to younger people, Stevie is just a meme. But he was a legend in music, highly respected.
Stevie is supremely talented. Hard to go wrong with him. But definitely check out his album Songs In The Key Of LIfe. It's widely considered among the best albums of all time.
I love the guitar and drum combo that everyone loves on this, but for me the zing is in those super-catchy riffs the horns are layering into the sly feeling parts. Especially when you notice them least. They really help torque the feel that sly way that he also uses with his voice shifts. It really underlines the fun with the lyrics. One of my favourite songs no matter who is doing it.
Admittedly my musical tastes usually tend towards the rock and roll/alt-rock spectrum, but I respect the hell out of Stevie Wonder. That man writes some songs with serious groove. Not to mention even at his current age he has an amazingly capable and powerful voice. I've also seen a few rock covers of his songs, and for some reason I find his songs easily adapt between funk and rock versions. The group Wide Mouth Mason had a really really good cover of Superstition in fact (worth checking out if you guys ever do another covers-themed stream).
This was Stevie when he was still unbeatable in the early to mid 1970s. He got too soft later on, but at this time he KILLED!!! He made a series of incredible albums between 1972 and 1976 whose music is still incredibly relevant today. Stunningly gifted artist!!!
Put yourself in 1972. There had been a decade of wonderful smooth and sometimes grainy soul music, in which Stevie played a major role. Then this arrives out of nowhere, seemingly from another planet. Genius that shaped everything that followed. Now it still sounds great. Then it was jawdropping.
I was six years old in 1972 , I saw Stevie Wonder sing Superstition on Soul train. Of course I couldn't sit still on the livingroom floor, I got up and danced. My dad bought his album shortly after that. I was happy. Wonderful memories. Wish I could travel back in time. 😀
Stevie Wonder was all over the radio when I was a kid growing up in the 70's, so it was really easy to take great music for granted. Boy, were we spoiled! Music-wise at least. When you're ready for more from Stevie Wonder check out some of these hits: "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)", "I Wish", "Higher Ground", "Sir Duke", "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life", "My Cherie Amour", "We Can Work It Out", "Fingertips", "Isn't She Lovely", and "I Just Called To Say I Love You" along with many others.
I love ALL of the songs you mentioned, here! My favorite is "Sir Duke" I can't not sing along. If I have ever heard it when I was down, it gives me a big boost. 😁
Stevie is a master musician. He wrote this for his buddy Jeff Beck, one of the greatest guitar players ever. Beck recorded it, but this had already become a monster hit.
Such a terrific, timeless groove by Stevie ! Not only had he the voice of an angel, his words were extremely sensitive to society, to culture in America ... and as well as that he wrote the most sublime songs of love and heartache .. keep digging !
Back then, we could go from Stevie to the Carpenters to Pink Floyd to the stylistics to John Denver To Black Sabbath to the Four Tops to the Who to Elton John to America to Barry white. You will never understand that music was transendrential back then. There was no black music or white, we listened to everything as it dropped. Music separated in the 80s. We lost diversity as Rap and Hip Hop went one way and Rock and Country another. The crossover disappeared for most. I continued in all facets of music. most just picked a genre. So sad.
Stevie Wonder is a legend. A unique and talented pioneer. This song is 50 years old and still sounds great. It stands up to or surpasses anything written today.
This is genius level pure gold from a genius level musician. I've loved this track since I first heard it back in 1972. The album, which i have 'Talking Book' is also brilliant. When I used to do a bit of DJing in a club, I always opened with this or 'Pick Up The Pieces' by AWB, guaranteed to fill the dance floor. There is also an amazing cover of this by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double trouble with an great video for it which you MUST see and watch until the end because Stevie Wonder makes a shot appearance at the end of it. They were really good friends.
The pocket on this song is cray! Stevie Wonder is such an obvious talent, worthy of all the acclaim, lives up to the hype. Thanks for playing this one!
Stevie is our Black Jesus. I recommend you listen next to his Innervisions album and then Songs In The Key of life album. Both are MASTERPIECES!!!! Also, Lovely Day is Bill Withers, another great icon. Love y’all so much. You bring me joy and hope.
I feel so incredibly fortunate to have grown up with songs like this being played all the time on the radio. Stevie Wonder's Innervisions and his Songs in the Key of Life albums are as near to perfect as any artist could hope to get. Oh, and Lex, that "Lovely Day" song was sung by Bill Withers, not Stevie Wonder.
Stevie Wonder even rocked a live version of this on Sesame Street. Most people would lip synch for a kids show but he brought the band and played it all live with a jam at the end 🙂
This was a hit first for Beck, Bogart and Appice. Jeff Beck was at the rehersal for some of the album work and suggested the drums at the start of the song. Stevie's record company released it as a single after the BBA version got loads of airplay. The rest is history.
Such a great track and wonderful arrangement. Always loved Stevie, I remember buying, Songs in the Key of Life... and playing it over and over. Class and a highly influential on so many.
Man, Stevie Wonder is one of the ALL-TIME GREATS! I was lucky to see him in concert several years ago. You know how most artists have a couple great songs that they're know for? To close out the concert, Stevie just played great song after great song after great song...It seemed like an endless supply. One song would end and you might think that was the big finale, then they'd go right into another...and another...It was incredible. What a genius!
Ah yeah, classic. Stevie played all the instruments on this album. You've gotta check out Stevie Ray Vaughans version too. The devil's on his way. Yeah. Peace
Bill Withers! Berto was thinking of Bill Withers. He did lovely day, lean on me, ain’t no sunshine… but you guys should react to Grandma’s Hands. You will probably recognize the late 90’s song that sampled it
Stevie Wonder is one of my favorite artists. I first saw him on a teen dance program. He was only THIRTEEN! He performed his first hit: "Fingertips". His best album was "Songs in the Key of Life", but he had lots of hits outside of that album. "Superstition" is one of his biggest hits. When it was covered by a local band, EVERYONE in the bar would get out on the dance floor. SUCH a great vibe, and Stevie was just genius.
So many iconic Stevie Wonder songs, I watched him in concert back in the 80's and it lasted at least 3 hours. My Cherie Amor, Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Ribbon in the Sky, I just Called to Say I Love You, etc.
Hi Brad and Lex. This song is on my list of all time favourite songs. I absolutely love Stevie Wonder. I'm hoping and praying to see him on tour some day, but I'm not sure he would come up this way again. That would definitely be a spine tingling moment for me. Æx 🙏
You should check out the (jeff) Beck,Bogert,Appice version of this song - Jeff laid down the original drums and groove for the song and Stevie helped him complete it with lyrics and other instrumentation for release by BBA- but Wonder's management did not want BBA to record first knowing it would be a huge hit, and the rest is history.
Not too many artists have the musical hit catalogue variety of Stevie Wonder. From hard hitting social commentary to heavenly ballads this man is a very special artist. I realized it first as a kid in Toronto vicinity listening to Fulfillingness First Finale up to present day. The man is a awesome very rare talent.
Stevie is LITERALLY a musical genius and I would love to see you discover more! You can't really go wrong, but my personal favorites are "Sir Duke", "I Was Made to Love Her", and "I Wish"
I first heard this tune when I was about 10 years old (1985) when I persuaded my parents to let me watch the 1982 film, The Thing. This track was used briefly, and it blew me away as much as the "cool monster". Went down to a proper record store (not a chain), and a helpful Gentleman was able to find a 7" in the back. Wow, I played that record to death... "You've Got It Bad Girl" was on the B side. Ahh, the memories! :)
Stevie also wrote "Gansta's Paradise" but it was called "Pastime Paradise" on his album "Songs in the key of life". His influence and reach is incredible, he kept Motown records alive for years.
Stevie Wonder is a legend and often does not get enough credit. In the '89 the Red Hot Chilli Peppers really hit it big and one of their biggest hits was a song called Higher Ground which most people even to this date do not realize it is a cover of Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground. If you listen to the two versions you can see how much the Red Hot Chilli Peppers honored the original version.
Heard that song a gazillion times but I still love it. Enjoyed listening to again with y'all. "Sir Duke, Boogie On Reggae Woman, and Living for the City" are three songs you would like.
LOVE Stevie! He is one of those "crossover" artists that people of all musical tastes can enjoy. My favorite of his is Sir Duke. It never fails to put a smile on my face 😀
What a great song from Stevie! He was so big back when I was younger (a lot younger lol) very funky....and on Elton John, check out his really early stuff, like 'Where to now St Peter?'
Yeah ya just can’t help but MOOOVE every time it comes on. Lol, I dance like that every time in my chair whenever I hear it too. What a groove this song has! So funky
Safe to say Everybody loves Stevie Wonder, He is an American Icon, wide world talent and a musical genius.
@Lucifer C Obviously you don't know his five decades of hall of fame quality song writing and many many albums, oh and instrumental talent other than the keyboards, as well as his vocals. All that and being blind by the way.

That opening riff is so iconic. Sounds like guitar but it's a keyboard called a Clavinet (not a synth). Amazing artist.
Yes It's a clavinet, is like the electric version of a harpsichord. btw in fact the riff evolved off a guitar - it was something Jeff Beck came up with.

@@eximusic Yep. the clavicord... both cases keyboards with strings that are not felted hammered like a piano.
did you hear the Jeff Beck version? I was one of Beck's biggest fans but I think his version was awful. Beck and Wonder were friends, I wonder why they didn't just do the song together.

Stevies song Living For The City is a must listen ! Such a powerful song and still relevant today . A masterpiece
Hell yes! Still so relevant today!
Nah
This is one of the most amazing songs of the 70s, a decade FILLED with amazing songs. :)
I think to younger people, Stevie is just a meme. But he was a legend in music, highly respected.
Stevie is supremely talented. Hard to go wrong with him. But definitely check out his album Songs In The Key Of LIfe. It's widely considered among the best albums of all time.
The man, Stevie Wonder great music.
Absolutely, one of the greatest albums of the time.
Uhh, Talking Book is the best album of all time. It is the definition of seminal.
Stevie is great as long as you ignore I Just called To Say I Love You. What was he thinking!?
Surly it’s innervisions
So many great Stevie Wonder songs. You can't lose with anything he did in the 70s. So funky so cool. His synth setup was revutionary.
Sir Duke was my absolute favorite!
The synth programming was done by a British musician/producer, Malcolm Cecil. He just passed away this year, may he rest in peace.
That has to be the catchiest riff ever. What a masterpiece. The lyrics are good and pretty funny, but it's the groove that matters most.
Undeniable
I love the guitar and drum combo that everyone loves on this, but for me the zing is in those super-catchy riffs the horns are layering into the sly feeling parts. Especially when you notice them least. They really help torque the feel that sly way that he also uses with his voice shifts. It really underlines the fun with the lyrics.

The word genius gets thrown around a lot, but in this case, it's absolutely true. No one did it as well as Stevie.
This song was a game changer when it came out. It had a huge influence on music of the time and after.
Stevie Wonder was all over the radio when I was a kid growing up in the 70's, so it was really easy to take great music for granted. Boy, were we spoiled! Music-wise at least.

I love ALL of the songs you mentioned, here! My favorite is "Sir Duke" I can't not sing along. If I have ever heard it when I was down, it gives me a big boost. 😁
I would add my personal favorite, "As" to this list!
Stevie played drums on this as well. Which gives it a rawness fitting to the song. Awesome album, one ofbthe greatest of all time
Stevie played all the instruments on this song with the exception of the horns. He played the clavinet, synthesizer bass and drums.
God damn!!
Stevie Wonder is an ICON!! Check out his song “Higher Ground” or Living For The City” from his 1973 album “Innervisions” ♥️🎶♥️
Stevie is a master musician. He wrote this for his buddy Jeff Beck, one of the greatest guitar players ever. Beck recorded it, but this had already become a monster hit.
he also played most of the instruments on this song
Stevie Wonder is a musical genius. Try "Sir Duke" next.
Great song!
Yeah, Sir Duke is incredible. The breakdown in that song is the best.
I love the way they pretend not to know his songs. 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite Stevie song!!
You've arrived. Stevie Wonder is one of America's national treasures.
Factoid: Guitarist Jeff Beck came up with the drum beat for this song.
I am a metal chick and this is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Such a terrific, timeless groove by Stevie ! Not only had he the voice of an angel, his words were extremely sensitive to society, to culture in America ... and as well as that he wrote the most sublime songs of love and heartache .. keep digging !

One of my favorite songs as a kid...still love it !
This song and Higher Ground are tied for my all time favorite Stevie song, the man is a genius
"he has a good voice." Oh my god...what an understatement for such a talented superstar musician/composer/vocalist.
What I really want to see just once, when Brad is about to stop a song, is for Lex to slap his hand away because she is enjoying it so much 😁
Yes
You cannot go wrong with a Stevie Wonder song...go down the rabbit hole
Stevie Wonder is a legend. A unique and talented pioneer. This song is 50 years old and still sounds great. It stands up to or surpasses anything written today.

Stevie Wonder is a national treasure. "Innervisions" and "Fulfillingness First Finale" are two of the best albums ever created.
Stevie is our Black Jesus. I recommend you listen next to his Innervisions album and then Songs In The Key of life album. Both are MASTERPIECES!!!!
Also, Lovely Day is Bill Withers, another great icon.
Love y’all so much. You bring me joy and hope.
I feel so incredibly fortunate to have grown up with songs like this being played all the time on the radio. Stevie Wonder's Innervisions and his Songs in the Key of Life albums are as near to perfect as any artist could hope to get.
Oh, and Lex, that "Lovely Day" song was sung by Bill Withers, not Stevie Wonder.
Lex with that ‘this is dirty, funky, fun’ face! She is a full blown music lover!
Berto is right! Bill Withers (RIP) did "Lovely Day" and also "Use Me".
Lovely Day, Use Me, Just the Two Of Us, Ain't no Sunshine, Lean On Me and still to be reacted to.
The horns! The song may be funk but the horns were, and are, brass rock and roll to me.
Funk rock music. Love Stevie Wonder music. Soul music.
Stevie has one of the deepest catalogs in music. Go ahead and dive right in.
One of the most irresistible grooves ever recorded.
Stevie Wonder even rocked a live version of this on Sesame Street. Most people would lip synch for a kids show but he brought the band and played it all live with a jam at the end 🙂
This was a hit first for Beck, Bogart and Appice. Jeff Beck was at the rehersal for some of the album work and suggested the drums at the start of the song. Stevie's record company released it as a single after the BBA version got loads of airplay. The rest is history.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover is great. SRV was a Legend
Don't forget Jeff Beck
I wore this 45 out on my record player. Nope, not a turntable. You know, the ones that had the fold out speakers.
Bill Withers! Berto was thinking of Bill Withers. He did lovely day, lean on me, ain’t no sunshine… but you guys should react to Grandma’s Hands. You will probably recognize the late 90’s song that sampled it
One of the juiciest riffs in music history
Yeah, "Lovely Day" is by Bill Withers (not Mathers, but close!) Bill passed away not too long ago (March of 2020). Fantastic singer/songwriter!
Stevie Wonder is an icon/Legend. As someone as already stated, Everything Stevie did in the 70s turned to gold. He writes beautiful songs 🎵
Funky and sophisticated at the same time. Stevie is a genius!
I love how Lex really gets into the music!
Stevie is such a funky drummer, dang! Love listening to these tunes with y'all, I always notice something fresh.
The song "Master Blaster (jammin)" is personallyy favourite song by Stevie Wonder 😊🔥
One word. Genius! Putting that arrangement together, how?! It's a gift
Stevie Wonder is one of my favorite artists. I first saw him on a teen dance program. He was only THIRTEEN! He performed his first hit: "Fingertips". His best album was "Songs in the Key of Life", but he had lots of hits outside of that album. "Superstition" is one of his biggest hits.

Stevie's a super talent. Songs in the Key of Life is one of the best albums ever... 'As' probably my favourite number.
Lovely Day is by Bill Withers and is absolutely worth a listen, in addition to lots more Stevie Wonder.
You may have heard this at the start of the I-Robot film with Wil Smith
I’ve always held this song in high regard.One of the all time greatest songs.If this song don’t get you then you dead inside.
One of my favorite songs ever. I was in elementary school when this was a MASSIVE hit. So much talent from Stevie! Love him!
Hi Brad and Lex. This song is on my list of all time favourite songs. I absolutely love Stevie Wonder. I'm hoping and praying to see him on tour some day, but I'm not sure he would come up this way again. That would definitely be a spine tingling moment for me. Æx 🙏
Stevie played alot of his own instruments in the studio on his albums👍
Everything Stevie Wonder did was awesome..Songs in the key of life!!!
Stevie Wonder also does some unforgettable softer songs, like "Lately", "Ribbon in the Sky" and "Overjoyed ". Such an amazing talent. ❤
My fave Stevie Wonder song, such a jam!
The whole Songs In The Key Of Life album is a masterpiece!
Stevie has so many GREAT songs in his catalog.
A classic from a legend.
So off the chain great. Love this song. When the brass kicks in.. great jam.
This has always been one of my favorite songs. The definition of funk.
When Lex whips out the stank face this early into the video, you KNOW stuff just got real, and it's fixin' ta go down.
classic funk jam for sure 👌
Oh please.....Stevie killed this song!!!! One of his BEST!!!!
You should check out the (jeff) Beck,Bogert,Appice version of this song - Jeff laid down the original drums and groove for the song and Stevie helped him complete it with lyrics and other instrumentation for release by BBA- but Wonder's management did not want BBA to record first knowing it would be a huge hit, and the rest is history.

Stevie is LITERALLY a musical genius and I would love to see you discover more! You can't really go wrong, but my personal favorites are "Sir Duke", "I Was Made to Love Her", and "I Wish"
Such a Brilliant Classic, Stevie Wonder is a Treasure.
Thanks. I was about to die crying then I found this one! You heard it from your mom and I heard it from my dad and that's so what makes music awesome!
Stevie Wonder is a musical genius, the funky riff in this song is the epitome of the genre.
Stevie Wonder is a Top 5 ANYWHERE!! Never EVER fail to recognize the Genius!!
Stevie Wonder! Good ole funk music.
That baby don't care about breaking that mirror! To funny.
I love funk and he elevated it. I love his blues and jazz grooves too.
Can't resist singing along whenever I hear Stevie's Sir Duke.
Sir Duke for more Stevie Wonder.
Stevie Wonder was a bonafide musical prodigy. Amazing artist.
This song is so iconic and Stevie Wonder is a legend. 👏👏👏👏
I first heard this tune when I was about 10 years old (1985) when I persuaded my parents to let me watch the 1982 film, The Thing.

Wow, I played that record to death... "You've Got It Bad Girl" was on the B side. Ahh, the memories! :)
The Thing was the first time I’d heard it as well and was the first thing I thought of when watching this video.
Stevie also wrote "Gansta's Paradise" but it was called "Pastime Paradise" on his album "Songs in the key of life". His influence and reach is incredible, he kept Motown records alive for years.
and Stevie plays everything on this track except the horns.. gifted man!
“Songs In The Key Of Life” was undoubtedly one of the greatest albums ever.
Stevie Wonder is one of those music geniuses where you always got more than you expected.
That Kid Brother is a Star... what a Great addition! Stevie Wonder is a Universal TREASURE!
Stevie Wonder is a legend and often does not get enough credit. In the '89 the Red Hot Chilli Peppers really hit it big and one of their biggest hits was a song called Higher Ground which most people even to this date do not realize it is a cover of Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground.

LOVE Stevie! He is one of those "crossover" artists that people of all musical tastes can enjoy. My favorite of his is Sir Duke. It never fails to put a smile on my face 😀
What a great song from Stevie! He was so big back when I was younger (a lot younger lol) very funky....and on Elton John, check out his really early stuff, like 'Where to now St Peter?'
Yeah ya just can’t help but MOOOVE every time it comes on. Lol, I dance like that every time in my chair whenever I hear it too. What a groove this song has! So funky
