Wait a second....I requested this song and performance from Stevie!!!! I have the uncut version of this! This recording is from a session he did when i was an On-Air personality on HOT 92.3 at IheartRadio in LA...about 3 or 4 years ago!!!! This is literally my copy of it!!!! He was there doing a session for Stevie Wonder's House Full of Toys concert, and he asked for any requests. Nobody spoke up so I requested it saying, "Will you play 'I Can't Help It'? You wrote it for Michael. It's my favorite!". He said, "i ..I don't know if I remember all the words." Everyone laughed along with him. I said, "I'm taking it way back." He laughed and again said, "I forgot all the words." That's when he played the first chord, called out the key and started playing! This is literally one of my greatest moments in life, and I'm glad the world can enjoy it, too!
As a singer songwriter, myself, I understand. When writing numerous songs, unless you rehearse or perform it frequently, you can forget the lyrics. You're always looking ahead to the. next, great song.
Singers tend to focus on their hits, not so much their album cuts, or obscure songs. Remember, around this time, Stevie was still riding the wave of his "Songs in the Key of Life" album success, and was working on his next project, "Hotter Than July".

This song written by Stevie, produced by Quincy and sung by Michael is a triumph of music, sung by the author it makes you touch the sky with a finger... Stevie has always been a marvel!! Simply unattainable!!
To all the people who say MJ sang it better - I would say, MJ sang it MJ way - Stevie sings it Wonder Way. Both are spiritual experiences that take us to other worlds. You know who is singing within 1.5 seconds. Isn't that amazing right there? There is no need to put everything in The Voice competition box. I am so grateful to have benefited and been uplifted by these two megatalents!!!
Also, it’s important to note that this recording is not a polished product for public consumption. Stevie is clearly presenting a demo or practice cut here. It makes no sense to compare this with MJ’s (and Quincy Jones) finished product on OFF THE WALL.
+Ronald Abney I do too. I miss MJ like crazy! The Off the Wall album reminds me of a sweet and innocent time. Michael looked so groovy and handsome on the cover.
Stevie is one of the greatest musicians of all time, of any era. When you think about the range of music he created, it doesn't fit any category really -- funk? soul? R&B? What about The Secret Life of Plants? The man is a true genius and he is one of the major reasons I became a musician...I'm so grateful that I am alive at the same time as Mr. Wonder, and was a kid when he was a few years older -- his music went right into me. And as a drummer, I must remind everyone that Stevie is one of the greatest drummers of all time. Just check out his drumming (on his tune, for the Spinners), "It's a Shame." No deeper pocket than that tune. And he was like, 20, 21?? Wow. Genius.
I have never heard so many 🤡 Comments! Stevie wrote the song. He's in the studio jamming live, this is not a finished production. No effects no reverb this song was not intended to be released. He's straight playing an electric piano and jamming. You can't compare this to a finished production so stop being clowns!
I'm very positive, because Stevie Wonder is the person telling that story in that Michael Jackson special that keeps playing on TV. He said that his sister heard him recording that song for his own album and she thought MJ should sing it. Yadda yadda yadda, and Michael Jackson ended up singing Stevie's song.
What many don’t know is that Stevie and Michael’s families are related through their mother’s. The Jacksons always looked up to him and his musicality. He, in return always looked out for them. Him and Michael had a special bond and this song captures it. What a masterpiece.
This is not true. Please stop spreading lies on the internet. The Jackson’s and the Hardaways aren’t related in any way. Katherine met Lula Mae after 1972 in California
@@jusrome2037 Janet Jackson literally said Stevie wonder is her blood relative a couple of times and even on her documentary. This is not a lie this is something that was confirmed by the Jackson family themselves. People really need to look up things before they start calling people a liar.
@@jusrome2037 I must AGREE with you and your words here!! Every now and then people write and say they are "cousins" - and that is NOT true! IF it was true , we would've heard both Stevie and Michael saying that VERY often!!! It is RUMOURS , nothing else. And when Janet said Stevie was her cousin once , at a rewardceremony , it was said by her LOVE for Stevie , in a funny way - but now people think it's true - STILL! In our "dreams" maybe we could hope for Stevie and Michael to be related - since they BOTH are the GREATEST in music - but it's a bit sad to see people writing this all the time , when it's not true! They were CLOSE friends , but not related in any ways........
This is one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs and it was written by my favorite singer Stevie Wonder. My Top 5 List is Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Tupac Shakur.
sweetchari , yes, I agree. It is my all-time favorite MJ song. It was the best song on the Off The Wall CD and there were a lot good ones on that album, but this joint edges out Don't Stop to Get Enough, Rock With You, Off the Wall, and She's Out of My Life. Stevie is truly a Genius. His Spritutuality is incredibly just too deep. It's Magical!
I’m 22 and I’m just now falling in love with all the great soulful RnB music from the 70s and 80s. The more I learn about Stevie the more I am a fan of him as an artist. Now he’s probably my favorite artist of all time. I’m learning a lot of songs on the keys and on the drums by him. I love playing this on the keys a beautiful chord progression between am9 b6 chord to a AbM9, then the fm9 to EM9 progression in the chorus. I wish I could have been there when he was in his prime he’s my inspiration 🙏🏾🙏🏾
You have really great musical taste. Have fun and enjoy your musical journey. May I recommend the funk band Slave. From Dayton Ohio like The Ohio Players, Lakeside, and Zapp.
What a genius. Putting this song together the way it is was pure gold. Those chords and inversions are perfect. I’m glad Micheal Jackson got to sing on this. It does suit his voice better but you could tell without even knowing it that it’s a Stevie wonder tune. 😎
If you ever saw Stevie live in concert you would know there is every other musician, then there is Mr. Wonder. As soon as his fingers hits the key board, you know you are in for a fantastic treat. Yes Michael's rendition of this song is "gold". I listened to in on my MP3 this week. Stevie plays music and sings, don't forget.
One day i listened to this and thought "These chord progressions are so Stevie" And then saw the credits. He also wrote "You are my heaven" by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathoway. Gotta see if hes in the tube performing that one.
The first time I heard Michael Jacksons version of this beautiful song I got the same vibe I had when I listen to Stevie Wonder Innervisions. Real music
This song is beautiful throughout. The synthesizers and keyboard work was groundbreaking. Gotta give credit to Stevie and Greg Phillinganes for their skills. A masterpiece.
"Get It" & "Just Good Friends" also listen to "All I Do", MJ and several other artists provided backing vocals on that song, and the J5 provided backing vocals in "You Haven't Done Nothin" enjoy! :)
I remember the first time I heard the MJ version on the off the wall record I was 4 years old & at that age a huge Stevie Wonder fan. I had always felt this was a Stevie joint. It wasn’t until my teenage years that I looked up this song to find out that it was written by the man himself. ❤️
Thankyou so much for sharing❤ I’m a huge fan of Stevie wonder. I knew he wrote it for MJ but hearing Stevie singing it and adding a verse is sending me❤❤❤❤ I love it
2 роки тому+3
This ballad and Buttercup are one of the best ones of all time!!
He and mj are my favorite male singer no one can top them not even r kelly king level that's how the neptunes would sould like if they would be a group and sing 😊❤
Man, this Joint is the Groove! WONDER IS WONDERFUL. This is a heck of a Cut that he wrote for MJ. God has given us a Spiritual Gift. Stevie could have easily brought down the house on his own, if he would have actually recorded this for himself. Two magical Gifts in Stevie & Mike. Mike, R.I.P. You are truly missed. The Best Entertainer. Stevie, you are just Incredible! You belong in a Class by yourself.
I’m surprised that this song wasn’t ever recorded back in the day. You can totally tell that it’s a Stevie wonder song when you heard it for the first time on off the wall.
This is one of the hardest songs ever for anyone to sing. Kudos SW for writing this song but most of all, MJ was a godsend. I heard my goddess, Beyonce, sang this song but no one can compare to MJ. IMO
His version is from one of Stevie's lost recording was previously unheard for stereo recording from the Tamla/Motown Records reel to reel outtake rehearsal sessions that Mr. Wonder born as "Mr. Stevland Morris" did originally performed and later was given to the Great Michael Jackson for his version which it did appeared on his Off The Wall Epic Records album as a released track on his album.
I'm so obsessed with Stevie he is a genius in his own right. Too bad we lost MJ I believe he two of them together could've created musical formalities we'd never grasp....
this would have been a solid hit for Stevie had he not given it to MJ wow ... I love both versions with just a lil more toward Stevie cuz he's my idol oh man... wow, I love it.
O and @WesHalworld what an inspiring moment we're all so glad you DID ask! A magician practices magic for a lifetime to perfect his craft... but Magic kneels down and begs to serve our Stevie!!!!

incredible!
Now that is pretty cool! Actually, it's AMAZING! I'm learning it and never knew Stevie wrote this till now. WOW! Thanks much!
he wrote that song for Michael and forgets the words got to love Stevie

+carson mcgill He wrote the music not the lyrics. Mike wrote the lyrics.

written by Stevie AND SUSAYE GREEN
stevie is the magic and michael was the magician
Wooooooooooo....
PERFECT DESCRIPTION!!!!
+RoninAli1 exactly
That is well said, Christina!!!!
Well said Christina. (3)
I love this song. As soon as you hear those Chords you know Stevie's behind it.
And I love Jem!! ❤
Michael bought a tension and anticipation and heightened nervous sensitivity to this song. Made it really special.
This song was going to be a hit regardless. MJ gave this song a more intimate feeling
Yes!
To all the people who say MJ sang it better - I would say, MJ sang it MJ way - Stevie sings it Wonder Way. Both are spiritual experiences that take us to other worlds. You know who is singing within 1.5 seconds. Isn't that amazing right there? There is no need to put everything in The Voice competition box.

I agree every one has there take
God gave us 2 great talents
If everyone sang the same way the World would be pretty boring, when I hear Stevie I want to hear him not a MJ impression.
I think Michael sang the hook better. I think Stevie for sure carried the rest of the song
Also, it’s important to note that this recording is not a polished product for public consumption. Stevie is clearly presenting a demo or practice cut here. It makes no sense to compare this with MJ’s (and Quincy Jones) finished product on OFF THE WALL.
Stevie is a wonder
Awwww. ☺
There are 8 wonder in the world and Stevie is the 9th Wonder.
Thank you Stevie for writing this song. Thank you Michael for recording it. Both musical geniuses.
He didn't write it alone..susaye Greene wrote most of the lyrics stevie did the music
@@kjjsdad💯Facts
Only Stevie can mutter the words to a song and it still sound worthy of a Grammy 💯
He wrote the song for MJ, it's his song so he is just playing around with it, he never intended to sing it like MJ.
Stevie wrote the song for MJ... it's Stevie's song....he was just having a little fun with it...he didn't make it for him to sing.
@@valenciamiller2928 I didn’t know that. You’re so smart 🙄
I sure miss the hell out of Michael J. Damn!!
+Ronald Abney I do too. I miss MJ like crazy! The Off the Wall album reminds me of a sweet and innocent time. Michael looked so groovy and handsome on the cover.
Ronald Abney I'm always crying when I'm remembering him:((
What do you mean, Michael Jordan is still alive.
Carla Taylor Michael Jackson lol
Credits should go to Stevie
And that's why "Off The Wall" is and always will be Michael Jackson's best album.
Stevie is one of the greatest musicians of all time, of any era. When you think about the range of music he created, it doesn't fit any category really -- funk? soul? R&B? What about The Secret Life of Plants? The man is a true genius and he is one of the major reasons I became a musician...I'm so grateful that I am alive at the same time as Mr. Wonder, and was a kid when he was a few years older -- his music went right into me.

He's straight playing an electric piano and jamming. You can't compare this to a finished production so stop being clowns!
... I think this song was meant for Michael, but you can't deny that Stevie knows his way around a melody.
Andre Jones.he played around with it. If he was serious. he would've killed MJ
Nope, it was not meant for MJ. Stevie wrote this song and was putting it on his album but he was convinced to let MJ sing it by his sister.
I'm very positive, because Stevie Wonder is the person telling that story in that Michael Jackson special that keeps playing on TV. He said that his sister heard him recording that song for his own album and she thought MJ should sing it. Yadda yadda yadda, and Michael Jackson ended up singing Stevie's song.
It didn't make the final cut on the "Songs In The Key Of Life" album and he was just sitting on it...
He wrote the lyrics and music...It has. Stevie Wonder sound...
What many don’t know is that Stevie and Michael’s families are related through their mother’s. The Jacksons always looked up to him and his musicality. He, in return always looked out for them. Him and Michael had a special bond and this song captures it. What a masterpiece.

this man could sing Mary had a Little Lamb and I'd be over the moon, over the stars, over joyed! I LOVE YOU STEVIE!!!
Genius. At. Work. 🙏
Exactly 💯 💯 😊😊😊
This song on Off The Wall has a very "Stevie" flavour to it. It makes sense that the Wonder produced and composed this classic.
Man, every time I hear this jam I wish out loud he and MJ would have duetted it!!
Ooh that would have been good! Even if just a live performance.
This is one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs and it was written by my favorite singer Stevie Wonder.
My Top 5 List is Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Tupac Shakur.
such an incredible list, you know music my friend
Best Composer Ever !!

Stevie is so original so magical, he takes you into a higher realm, every time. No artist on earth can do that, except it is from above.
Absolutely 💯
So sooo true. He understood music in a way not many do. His harmonies. The discordant jazz tones. Amazing. Feels full bodied.
What a genius. Putting this song together the way it is was pure gold. Those chords and inversions are perfect. I’m glad Micheal Jackson got to sing on this. It does suit his voice better but you could tell without even knowing it that it’s a Stevie wonder tune. 😎
Wow, the baseline is the one on this song!
Stevie always had a killer bass on his songs! From a a bassist!@😁
It gets stuck in your head after hearing it
it's deadly
That is Nate Watts on the bass.
@Brendon Cariah Wrong! The session bass player on the single was Louis Johnson.
Stevie Wonder and his usual funkadelic self! Just as incredible as the original!
Gxyz222 He wrote the original.
+Gxyz222 ,,,, it happens very ofter with stevie - see alfie ...
+Christopher Miller Stevie's Co-writer is former Supreme, Susaye Greene.
ohh .. !! right

The first time I heard Michael Jacksons version of this beautiful song I got the same vibe I had when I listen to Stevie Wonder Innervisions. Real music
What if Stevie recorded it for "Hotter Than July"? Can you imagine this being on the same album as "Rocket Love" and "Master Blaster"?

oniman619 Also a great album
RIGHT?!

I like both versions. Jamming for real
This is amazing. A blind man who can see better and much farther than we can. Stevie Wonder, aptly named.
You can hear the love, the beauty, the joy. Thank you.
This song is beautiful throughout. The synthesizers and keyboard work was groundbreaking. Gotta give credit to Stevie and Greg Phillinganes for their skills. A masterpiece.
What _doesn’t_ he play on lol. I just found that he’s on that Michael McDonald joint too: I Keep Forgetting…
Stevie Wonder Is A Genius Plain And Simple
MJ was a great Singer and an incredible dancer.
SW is a musical monster.
No one can write music and lyrics and play and Sing like SW.
just think if they'd made this a duet...
WenD1908 THEY CAN STILL DO IT NOW!!!! :D
WenD1908 They made a song together a long time ago "Someone got to get it"
+Alex Bailey also "Just Good Friends"
"Get It" & "Just Good Friends"
also listen to "All I Do", MJ and several other artists provided backing vocals on that song, and the J5 provided backing vocals in "You Haven't Done Nothin"
enjoy! :)
Phalinda Jaxn Gerald Levert was on that song as well
Stevie's version is more symphonic, silky, and soulful. Love Michael's voice, but I got to go with Stevie. He's just incredible and WONDERFUL.
LOVE THAT 70's SOUND!
I can't help but love you Stevie Wonder!!
One of the best grooves I've ever heard.
Stevie killed this!!!!!!!! Him and Mike are my favorites!!!!!!
this dude the truth. I'm speechless
looovvvveeeew!!!! Finally hear Stevie do a version of this amazing song that he wrote for Michael!
a beauty ful song writed for micheal jackson,thank you very much Mr Stevie wonder
I knew this would be everything I thought it would be... after all, Stevie created this beautiful song...
I thank Stevie for writing the lyrics to this tune. Most of all, l thank Michael for an awesome version of this tune.
Susaye Greene wrote the lyrics. Stevie wrote the music.
Stevie has been and will always be one of my favorite musicians. He's a once in an era talent along with Michael.
I would love to hear Stevie's original demo to this song! This has always been one of MJ's best songs imo.
I need someone to mix Michael's demo and Stevie's version. And make it like a 12 minute song.
I remember the first time I heard the MJ version on the off the wall record I was 4 years old & at that age a huge Stevie Wonder fan. I had always felt this was a Stevie joint. It wasn’t until my teenage years that I looked up this song to find out that it was written by the man himself. ❤️
Wow this sound amazing with Stevie
Who's the bass player??????? OMG
I think Nathan Watts he has been with Stevie Wonder along time
Gotta be Nate Watts.. he goes way deep.
Awesome! I'll check him out (y)
IKR
Freddy Perez Think it's Nathan Watts
What i notice mostly is How Quincy came in & put his touch on it. Amazing Song made even more Amazing.
Nothing like live musician's.....pure skill n talent.
WOW! I was listening to MJ's version and wondered if Stevie had a version of it. Ended up here!!!
Same 😅😅😅😅
Which do you prefer?
Can listen all day….He’s my favorite I know I’m not alone. 💗
He gave this song to Michael, Michael did a fabulous job.
The baseline damn. 💕💕💕💕

Love the improvised 3rd verse about christmas music playing 24/7
Thank you Stevie for this wonderful song.
One of my favorite things about Stevie is the way he incorporates masterful modulations into his songs 🤌🏾
Wow.... Stevie is just magic ❤️
The Bass player is KILLIN
Musical Genius.......
Phat! Such a great sound. That bass!!
This is one of the hardest songs ever for anyone to sing. Kudos SW for writing this song but most of all, MJ was a godsend. I heard my goddess, Beyonce, sang this song but no one can compare to MJ. IMO
Just appreciate the talent of this man even through disability he still shines....... man thanks and respect from Jamaica

Helen Stark I'm speechless of this man's brilliance.
That music feels sooooo good, he can't get the words out!!! DAMN STEVIE!!!! I can't Help It!!! LOving you!!!
Love it Steve!!!!
This is my favorite Michael Jackson song. But sometimes I wish Stevie had written it for Donny Hathaway.
Oh i love Michael's version but donny would have been just spectacular singing this x
Never too late for Lalah to sing it.
Stevie Wonder is a musical genius. I pray that he has much success in his adopted country of Ghana. May God bless him.
Thank you Stevie for this beautiful song... By a Michael Jackson fan. You and Michael are the best
one of his best compositions, hands down.
I'm so obsessed with Stevie he is a genius in his own right. Too bad we lost MJ I believe he two of them together could've created musical formalities we'd never grasp....
they actually made a song together it's called just good friends.
+Tyra The Moonwalker they made another one too..."Get it"..from Stevie's "Characters" album..
this would have been a solid hit for Stevie had he not given it to MJ wow ... I love both versions with just a lil more toward Stevie cuz he's my idol oh man... wow, I love it.
Saying he forgot the words yet he sings them all perfectly 😂🔥 the improv verse at the end was fire!!
Unbelievable! Truly God is present
stevie is simply the greastest!!!
O and @WesHalworld what an inspiring moment we're all so glad you DID ask! A magician practices magic for a lifetime to perfect his craft... but Magic kneels down and begs to serve our Stevie!!!!
Love Stevie but Mike got this one. But a lil Stevie is always good for the soul.
Stevie wrote this for Mike. He knew Mike would kill it.
This is a random, live studio session. You say Mike killed it, that was a final on his album. You can't even compare the versions. Come on dude.
***** yes Michael BAD!!
Let me guess, was it from one of Brad's seminars?
My vote goes for stevie
