Boy George was just a (comparative) baby here, just 23 (or maybe 24) and he stood on the World Motown stage with "legends"and very much "held his own"!💙
Awwwwwww Yeeeeeah, this show was incredible. And it was 1985, so errybody that appeared on this show was on something/smoking something/snorting something/taking something: Debarge, Smokey, George Michael, Boy George....And all of the old-school Motowners were alcoholics or recovering from the 60s-70s. All still talented as hell!!!
TRUE (and those habits were NOT limited to performers) It was mid-1985 and Boy George had already been introduced to heroin, but no matter what, EVERYONE got up and performed well!
Being a woman I can say that Boy George is my gay-crush since my childhood (him during the 80s) He was magic for me back then. Oh and I added Tom Ford too somewhere in my 30's.. :-)
Those were not the Pointer Sisters. In this clip, Stevie Wonder is supported by the greatest back up team on Earth! They are the Four Tops, Smokey Robinson, Smokey's 3 back up singers, Mary Wilson of the Supremes who is 2nd from right next to Obie Benson of the Four Tops!
I remember when they performed this song it wasn’t released yet. So when I finally heard it on the radio I was disappointed that Boy George was not on it. I thought their voices sounded good together.
I saw and taped this the night it originally was broadcast. I really enjoyed seeing Mary Wilson, the Four Tops and Smokey Robinson all together singing with Stevie.

Boy George voz deliciosa de se ouvir, suave e delicada, mas forte e potente ao mesmo tempo, amo muito ele, vida longa ao lindo e maravilhoso Boy George, Eu te amo.
It would be wonderful if Boy George still had that same AMAZING voice! But the truth is, EVERYONE'S voice changes (deepens) with age, the fact that he no longer has it is NOT his fault!
Music by these is incredible, Boy George is a totally cool and fantastic singer, Stevie Wonder is a cool and magical singer also with out a doubt, a 100% for both the guys.
..I remember seeing this when it was originally broadcast and I still feel the same that stevie performed like he didn't want George there, tried to push him out vocally and you could tell from George's reaction at the end
Boy George stood firm, lol, I love both. I read somewhere about Stevie being competitive, especially when he was a kid. I think it was Gladys Horton who told a story about the first time they met...
Simplemente Boy George le dió su lugar no quitandole el protagonismo. El acompaño y no es su canción. Pero de hecho el aporte de Boy George potenció este exitazo.
oh yes I love meet some Stevie Wonder and I still like boy George no matter whateverybody got something going on with a life but I still love them I love listen to his songs
I just read about this is Boy George's book! He knew Stevie was killing him on stage. But I love Boy's first verse in this performance.
Killing him? How?
@@tarcisiasiniscalchi6641 vocally
@@tarcisiasiniscalchi6641 because he sounds shit and stevie is killing it, boy George is actually spoiling it
@@JDotLoc boo on you
@@athenavan2242 what you actually think he sounds good here?
I'm surprised Boy George can stand with balls that big. Respect.

Boy George Voice’s is full of soul; I love him so much
I got to say Boy George hits those notes really good he also admires Stevie wonder's music
Boy George is so soulful.
true that!😉
tellemyumad74 boy George rocks!.
So hot
Boy george has a amazing voice 👍
@@cassydebijl5869 ....he said he grew up listening to all that SOUL MUSIC from the 60s....he said he was crazy about GLADYS KNIGHT.....
Boy George stayed in his comfort zone, his "oh yeah's" being about as far as he was going to push it with Stevie and the back up group of stars.

TRUE (and those habits were NOT limited to performers) It was mid-1985 and Boy George had already been introduced to heroin, but no matter what, EVERYONE got up and performed well!
And even with all of that, still more talented than most artists now.
Amazed at how the audience was able to sit so damn still during this! Wtf is the matter with em?!?
Being a woman I can say that Boy George is my gay-crush since my childhood (him during the 80s) He was magic for me back then. Oh and I added Tom Ford too somewhere in my 30's.. :-)
I have the entire show, recorded from beginnig to end. this a classic that happen in May of 1985.
Sweet George, your voice then and now is perfect like you!! ♥ .
Boy George, the four tops, the pointer sisters Stevie wonder and Bill Cosby. What a combo
And of course smokey!!

Love this so much. Boy George added to Stevie Wonder's lyrics so beautifully.
Boy George is absolutely incredible, I love him so much!! Absolute perfection!!
Andrew Phillips he also performed with Luther vandross on the same night.
Boy George gives different color to this song, I love it!
I wish they'd re-recorded this as a single for either's greatest hits cd...
This is when Boy George was at his peak and to perform with the great Stevie Wonder. I remember this like it was yesterday.
Boy George holds his own well here!! Completely different voices.
Si yo también
what an epic, legendary and a piece of a cult moment in music history...
Boy George so handsome I don't care if he's gay I love his little dances.
🤔
I usually don't like men wearing women's clothes, but here it looks really great.
I kind of can't believe this happened. And I watched it when it was originally broadcast.

+Beatriz Gomes En efecto, Boy George tiene mejor y más fuerte voz
Boy George needs to do an album that showcases his vocals. He has very soothing vocals.
It would be wonderful if Boy George still had that same AMAZING voice! But the truth is, EVERYONE'S voice changes (deepens) with age, the fact that he no longer has it is NOT his fault!
Song Like Unfortunate Thing is a good listen for soothing George.
excellent...and BOY....looked...AMAZING....
Fantastic duet
Wow Boy George did amazing and so did Stevie
Stevie Wonder
George
Magnífico ❤
2:53 Boy George changed the whole meaning of this song
.....he MODERNIZED IT....
Different styles but both are greate!!
Boy George is Wonderful!!!
I thank my parents for introducing me to stevie wonder music as little kid when she recorded Motown 25 on VHS tape 7 months b4 I was born
UNA FANS, UN CLÁSICO, UNA LEYENDA.....GRAN TEMA...MUCHOS RECUERDOS....
💜 simplemente me encantan los dos...
I remember watching this when it first came on tv back in the day. I had to be about 5, if that old but I remember, Mary wells was o this show too
STEVIE WONDER = POTENCIA
BOY GEORGE = ELEGANCIA
+frankinay RP Steve wonder = Estilo y ritmo Boy George = Potencia y elegancia.
Stevie Wonder tiene todo jajaja
Music by these is incredible, Boy George is a totally cool and fantastic singer, Stevie Wonder is a cool and magical singer also with out a doubt, a 100% for both the guys.
people dont realize smokey robinson is up to there too but its such an underrated song very classic
How the hell could anyone dislike this?
I know right how
Those people are stupid
Ikr
Because Boy George is a part time singer and should not share a stage with a proper singer, maybe?
it would be a theory of Sigmund freud id, ego, super ego. The moral message.
I love me some Stevie wonder. He so fionne with so much talent. Thank you for your wonderful music
Stevie Wonder's vocal capacity is the best ever in history. No doubt about it!
EASILY
He's fucking insane
Boy George was definitely given the minority "treatment" here!!🎤
Two of the greatest talents ever
Sweet George, your voice then and now ist perfect
George 1 bad boy he earned stevie wonder respect
Wow. pretty voices.
wow amazing
These voices 😍
like si no sabes ingles pero te encanta
Now that was amazing
This song is so 80s cool. I love this performance!!
Wow what a song. All time favourites $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Stevie Wonder was mad because Boy George couldn't remember the lyrics and he was under the influence. I love Boy George but I don't blame Stevie.
@@susanmitchell9352 SO, HOW in the heck do YOU know Boy George "couldn't remember the lyrics and was under the influence"??????
Stevie Wonder e Boy George nossa fiquei emocionada!!😭😭😭2020 🙏🏽
Stevie helped so many artists to pave their way in US
El nivel de los artistas en esta epoca es otra cosa..

Que maravilla escuchar esto✨
Love the Gautier coat dress and glitzy jewels! 💎
....and the EVENING GLOVES.....so CHIC....
The "back up crew" including Smokey Robinson!! ......WANT TO SEE MORE OF THEM!!
Boy George es espectacular pero Stevie Wonder se lo comió vivo en esta versión.
Simplemente Boy George le dió su lugar no quitandole el protagonismo.
El acompaño y no es su canción.
Pero de hecho el aporte de Boy George potenció este exitazo.
Steve tiene una voz prodigiosa, pero en los momentos de Boy también se lució.
Osea que basado en tu comentario podemos sacar como conclusión que Stevie Wonder se lo comio a Boy
George
@@joseyanez3095 jajajajaj
la canción es de Stevie. la verdad sería muy raro si fuese al revés.
amo a boy jorge
