  • No longer "Little" Stevie Wonder, he delivered two man-sized hits in 1966. He performs them here in this clip, "Uptight" and "A Place In the Sun" (which was so popular that he was asked to perform it on Italian television " il sole è di tutti " another great version which can be seen here on this site.

      And people Hype Up that Angelina girl 😂. This is a real singer and talent. Stevie wonder is amazing what a stud even as a kid. I am 29 years saying this and we don’t have singers like this. He sounds like a man at 16 with a huge range and smooth voice 🔥🔥

      As a Canadian living across the border we went to several events at the Fox mainly to see Motown artists. Also went to a few jazz clubs in Detroit. Was never afraid of different cultures. This was in the 60s and I loved the great music we were exposed to. Always felt you judge people by the kind of person they were and I was glad that’s how I was raised. It’s very hard to see so much divisiveness and hatred now. At that time music brought people together.🥰

    Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight
    Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight
    I'm a poor man's son, from across the railroad tracks
    The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back
    But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy
    Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye
    When we go out stepping on the town for a while
    My money's low and my suit's out of style
    But it's all right if my clothes aren't new
    Out of sight because my heart is true
    She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight
    Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
    She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say
    I guess her folks brought her up that way
    The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
    In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids
    She says no one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy
    No football hero or smooth Don Juan
    Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poor man's son
    Can't give her the things that money can buy
    But I'll never, never, never make my baby cry
    And it's all right, what I can't do
    Out of sight because my heart is true
    She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
    Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
    Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ha ha ha ha, yeah
    Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, way out of sight
    Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight

    So privileged to have grown up listening to Stevie Wonder. We'd wait for his songs to play on the radio then go out and buy the 45's and LP's.. Wait for the record to drop, watch the arm swing over and the needle would hit it.. A little scratch then--Stevie Wonder's magic.
