Jeff beck did not play on this version. It is stevie multitracking himself on the clavinet! Jeff beck has his own version. Basically, stevie gave him the track and at the last minute, had a change of mind and took the track back which Jeff was not too happy about. Stevie repaid him by having Jeff play lead guitar on another track off the talking book album from which superstition appears on. The track is called looking for another pure love. Hope this helps.
Anyone who doesnt like this song, i honestly dont know what you're looking for. Stevie is a freaking legend and this song for me never gets old. Timeless
Best thing about Stevie is that He’s a 1 man band! He plays drums, keyboard bass, piano, synthesizer, clavinet (that’s the funky keyboard used in this song) and of course harmonica! Stevie played every instrument in this song except for the horns, and did that for like 90% of the songs he’s made. Truly one of the music goats!!!
Yes. There's a video of the making of the album, that shows him during the recording of Superstition playing the various instruments during the tracking of the song. Stevie is the man.
Another thing he did with this song. Think about how braille works. The black keys would be easier for a blind person to sense, SO he wrote this song and maybe others in a way to play almost all black keys, E flat minor. I spent my whole life thinking this was a guitar and wondered how somebody could pick these notes to make it sound this good. Watch this video where someone shows most of the music on a piano from above. It's one minute before the first white key is played. ua-cam.com/video/p7nbBzH2MPI/v-deo.html
Stevie had his first hit on Motown when he was just 13, and tearing up his harmonica. A prolific artist, talented musician, songwriter, producer, Stevie does it all. As if that weren't enough, he's a loving, compassionate human being that hasn't forgot where he came from. My recommendation, "Living For the City."
You can never go wrong with Stevie Wonder. His music is so groovy. As, I Wish, Higher Ground, Sir Duke, Boogie on Reggae Woman, That Girl, If You Really Love Me, Living for the City and Ebony and Ivory (duet with Paul McCartney of The Beatles.
Oh my gosh, Amber, you have got to listen to Stevie's song "Isnt She Lovely"! The song he wrote for his new baby girl! BEAUTIFUL! I sang it to my baby girl when she was born! :) Jay, yet another one of Stevie's songs in his prolific writings/singing, is a song called "With Each Beat of My Heart". One of the most beautifully written love songs ever! Amber would love it! :) Have a Blessed day! :)
Yes!! Both great songs! Amber will probably cry listening to Isn’t she lovely because it is such a beautiful song and Stevie wrote it for his daughter 🥰 They need to watch him live!
That's who my Mother named me after/ was inspired by to name me - Aisha! I've already told my family that "Isn't She Lovely" is one of my 'funeral songs'. It's kinda morbid, but it makes sense, right? 💜 -x-
His catalog is so immense and diverse you have just scratched the surface. He's literally one of the greatest musician song writer singers in our history. One of the greatest albums ever created SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE.
Stevie Wonder is the GOAT!! Not only is he an extraordinarily talented singer and musician (playing a few different instruments), he is a PHENOMENAL songwriter. In fact, he has written (or at least co-written) all of his music since the late 1960s. "Superstition" was everybody's jam when it was released in 1972. His catalog of music is insane. With ALLLLLL of his amazing hit records, my all-time favorite is still "I Was Made to Love Her", which was released in 1967. Will you please react to it? He played clavinet and harmonica on this song, which he co-wrote at the age of 16; it was released 5 days after his 17th birthday!!
You want happy, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” You want to cry, “I Never Dreamed You’d Leave In Summer” You want social commentary, “Living For The City” or “Higher Ground” You name a mood, Stevie’s got it!
You want to cry? "Lately" is the one. or "Rocket Love" You want happy? "Don't You Worry "Bout A Thing" social commentary: can't argue with Living for the City!!! no argument there at ALL!!!
It is funny seeing Jordan's face when he realizes he HAS heard a song before but didn't know it. And thanks for including the bloopers at the beginning it makes you even more real.
It's not enough to listen to a Stevie Wonder song, you have to listen to whole albums. EVERYTHING he did in the 70s are classics. He influenced everyone who came after him in R&B on some level. He is a living legend and is unbelievably prolific in his song writing ability. You'd be doing yourselves a favor if you just deep dived Stevie starting with his very first song as an 11 year old "Fingertips" where he wows with his harmonica.
NO COVER will ever touch the original! I was blessed to see Stevie wonder in concert in my 20s. I won tickets off the radio station and I was totally blown away. The man walks the stage as if he had site! Y’all are listening to a legend right there!
Stevie Wonder is a musical treasure, a legend and a pure genius!!! He has an extremely extensive musical catalog too, so you can never go wrong with a Stevie Wonder song!!! Two of my personal favorites are "I WISH" and "AS." Thanks for the reactions!!!
Been following Stevie Wonder since his song "Up tight" (everything is alright, up tight and outa sight) from the late 60s early 70s. He produced some of the most replayed songs through the years. Good choice. The instrument with a slide is the trombone. The first part was a harpsichord effect on a electric keyboard.
I'm a lucky White guy--got introduced to Stevie just after Talking Book and Inner Visions albums came out in the 70s--and were about to sweep the Grammys. I was only 16 and was blown away. He has provided so many extraordinary hits--and has so affected music they now call some chords "Stevie Wonder" chords. His sound is unique,. Thanks!
Stevie Wonder, IMHO, is the most under-appreciated musician, singer, songwriter ever. As someone else commented, he's an absolute national treasure. And a great human being as well, always promoting love and unity amongst us all.
Stevie Wonder is truly a wonder, was signed up with a label contract at the unbelievable age of 11 and had his first number 1 hit at the age of 13, all of own production...
🏆 Stevie Wonder; what a treasure trove of wonderful music! As a young child, my parents had his albums and I think that laid the foundation for much of the music I have been drawn to during my 53 years, lol! My favorite, 'AS" is an R&B song with pure POETRY lyrics! "I Wish", Livin' for the City, Sir Duke, Higher Ground... HIGHLY recommend reacting to his first hit, when he was just a teen "FINGERTIPS" 💖
Remember the movie Muscle Beach Party featuring Little Stevie Wonder? There's 74 million of us Boomers still rockin' so our music will live on for a while!😅💯❤✌
Stevie has a Pure Platinum and Silky Smooth voice!! His voice is so soulful, unique, and immediately recognizable!! He is SO TALENTED!! Love this one!! ❤ Thank you guys!! @Rob Squad Reactions
Stevie wonder was the greatest studio musician ever born and this is why ,in this song he played all the instruments himself ,less the horns was done by others ,but this man is blind ,it takes an exception human being with an incredible drive ,persistence and intelligence to make the music he played. I want say enough about how super talented this man is.
That groove… it’s SO infectious … I’m a fat old white guy and I GET it … he’s my hero , he’s got more different genres in his resume than a world renowned vendor of classic genres at John Hopkin University in the USA… I’m grooving as I’m writing this listening to that fkn awesome repeating keyboard riff… no one else could’ve done this song .. bless you Stevie 👍🏴
I apologize if this is already been said. Stevie is playing what is known as a Clavinova (which is a keyboard) in this song. He is also known for playing drums, guitar and bass too. Glad you enjoyed this!
Stevie's the Greatest. Back in the 80s a French rock climber won a hard competition while carrying a Walkman and wearing headphones. Reporters asked him what he was listening to and he just said, "Stevie Wonder, of course."
You gotta listen to a LOT more Stevie! He will blow you away and he has a huge body of work. 3 GREAT albums - Innervisions, Fulfilliness First Finale and Songs in the Key of Life
Stevie Wonder has so many hits they are too many to name however if you are up for taking a dive into his music I would suggest - That Girl / Isn’t She Lovely / Sir Duke etc etc etc
Amazing you're hearing this for the first time! Such a phenomenal artist, get ready to dive in! Originally meant to be a collaboration with guitar god Jeff Beck, who came up with the drum beat, played by Stevie, as always at this time, who played the funky clavinet and the Moog synthesizer bass as well as vocals. Stevie's version came out before Beck's version with his power trio, BBA; their rendition, saw 'em live, also '73, was pure smokesmanship...look for a version with Jeff and Stevie both!
Dear Lord in Heaven thank you for whoever requested this song so you could react to it. My daughter is 25 years old and her favorite singer is Stevie Wonder ( when the pandemic hit she said to me “we must find a way to keep him safe! We need to bubble wrap him) I just cried from laughter but she was so afraid something would happen to her favorite singer before she even got to see him in concert! She and I love him. Our favorites beside this one are “Sir Duke”, “Higher Ground”, “My Cherie Amour”, “Isn’t she lovely” and “Overjoyed”. Please react to any of those if you are able. If you react to Higher Ground, please make sure to react to the Red Hot Chili Peppers version. I really enjoy your channel! You guys are just adorable, funny and insightful! Thank you!! ❤️
There is no Wonder about Stevie’s legendary sound! So many all time tunes like,As, Master Blaster,Living For The City,Sir Duke, and Higher Ground are just a few of about another thirty tunes that once reacted to you will remember ever more!
"I think I've heard this!" You're going to say that a lot. I guarantee you've heard plenty of his songs before, you just didn't know it was him. To highlight how massive his catalog is, Superstition is from his fifteenth studio album, released in 1972. Check out "Sir Duke" and "Isn't She Lovely," both huge fan favorites.
As I'm sure many other people have mentioned, Stevie Wonder is an amazing musician: vocalist, instrumentalist, and composer. And he got started performing professionally as a young boy and was dubbed "Little Stevie Wonder" back then. "Superstition" is one of my favorites. That beat and bass line are ICONIC. I don't know how you can listen to this song and not start moving your body and be put into a better mood!
For soulful, sensitive, inventive artistry thy name IS Stevie! I'd suggest you check most of his 70s music. He won THREE Album of The Year Grammys in that decade! Also for piano playing at its finest check out Joe Jackson's stuff (especially "Everything Gives You Cancer"). You will not be disappointed!
Never heard a Stevie Wonder song... wow. Sacrilege! Stevie's album "Songs in the key of life" is a must have for all music lovers. Stevie is playing keyboards in this track.
Most people have NO IDEA how hard it is to film oneself. I have shot thousands of hours of interviews, so I know...You both rock ! Love watching your reactions.
Stevie Wonder is a musical genius - and he is one groovy cat...:) I remember I was young when his album Songs in the Key of Life (at least I think it was that album) was out, and at the Grammy awards they just kept calling his name, and his entourage kept helping him on stage to accept Grammy after Grammy after Grammy...
Yeeaah, not _just_ a great pianist, a great instrumentalist, composer, singer, performer and just all round massively influential musical genious. A gift from God.
Two Things: One. It is always interesting to see the younger generation reaction to songs that were part of my High School days. You guys are always enjoyable to watch and keep exploring. Two. How the Hell did you get to the age you did and not hear any masterful Stevie Wonder songs?
After the corporations took over the music industry and bought up the major radio stations, they controlled what of their 10 songs got played over and over that they were pushing at the time. These kids have literally grown up without a music history. In many places, nothing but the favorite auto-tuned artists of the moment get played. No old videos get played. They don't know anything but the current batch being shoved down everyone's throats. Not mine, I can't listen to it having grown up with fantastic real music and musicians.
I was 10 when I heard this on the radio the first time, and hearing it now just sends me right back there to my room singing along and dancing. It is still one of my favorites (not just Stevie songs, but across all music). You looked like you were having a blast too - that's why he's a living legend.
Stevie is absolute superstar, he has written literally hundreds and hundreds of songs, he his fantastic with his fast one's , but his love songs are genius ,and will make you cry.
Genius. Eddie Murphy in a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon, were discussing genius.Eddie Murphy said Stevie Wonder, Prince and Paul McCartney are and were on a level that you could see and feel when he met them, not just musically, just genius hands down.
Best struttin' song EVER. Too funky and groovy for words. Stevie Wonder and his music is a blessing. Love your vibe and this song !!!!!!!!! Love ya guys -- much respect.
watching you two experience some of my favorite music for the first time has brought me so much joy! EWF! Stevie Wonder, KC and the Sunshine Band. Pure joy! Thanks!
Yes that was it! He said the guy was in jail and when he got out the fish were dead? Am I remembering correctly? It was his favorite part of the movie.
He was playing every instrument, except horn section. He's a genius. He is a national treasure.
Amen.
Jeff Beck played guitar not Stevie Wonder
@@joelramsey9639 I was waiting for someone to correct me and you win🏆
A lot of people don't realize that the part that sounds like a guitar throughout is a keyboard.
Jeff beck did not play on this version. It is stevie multitracking himself on the clavinet! Jeff beck has his own version.

Yes. There's a video of the making of the album, that shows him during the recording of Superstition playing the various instruments during the tracking of the song. Stevie is the man.
I was flipped out when I found out about the clavinet! Rick Beato (on UA-cam) went into the song for technical details - that's how I found out.
and so he never bumped into the other musicians.
Another thing he did with this song. Think about how braille works. The black keys would be easier for a blind person to sense, SO he wrote this song and maybe others in a way to play almost all black keys, E flat minor.

Stevie is a living legend. I am 59 years old and have been loving his music my entire life.
Me too!!! My Dad would play Isn't she Lovely for me as a baby...♥️🙌🏽🥰
Me too and I’m 64!
He's been singing since he was a kid. When I was a kid in the 60s he was known as "Little" Stevie Wonder.
Yes! "I Was Made To Love Her".....brilliant!
The first time I saw him it was at the Apollo and he was just little Stevie Wonder and he just played the harmonica and sang Finger Poppin'
Was called Fingertips.
@@matthewdrake4385 August 1963 Little Stevie Wonder's first #1 hit Fingertips (Part 2). He was 12.
@@CharCanuck14 God I love that song! Great choice!

@AthenaR YES! ALL of those are great recommendations! They're all of my favorites too! 🤘
We love the same songs, Athena! He is the cream of the crop!
Still why not knowing this great singer ? But finally, you'll never forget that great artist. Keep it up folks !
Stevie plays almost every instrument on this track. He's a musical genius.

Do “Living for the City” and “Higher Ground” next. You two are awesome 🤩
Full version Of Living For The City, with the heartbreaking end coda.
Sir Duke and Wish too!
"All is Fair in Love" is amazing
And the RHCP version of Higher Ground
Add "You Haven't Done Nothing" to that list.
I forgot what an addictive groove this song has. Stevie Wonder is everything.
Fun fact: Stevie Ray Vaughn does a cover of this song too.
Highly recommend SRV version as well.
Stevie Wonder cameos in it, too.
Edit: in the SRV video
Every band I've ever been in has covered this song in one form or another. 😉😁😎
Saved me from typing it
He was actually invited to the studio to come up with a guitar riff. To compliment the keyboard. There's video of them together on UA-cam.
"Sir Duke" is a Stevie must listen! Stevie is so damn cool and I love all his music!✌❤🎶😁
Stevie Wonder is 💯 Legend! Period! 🎧😎

I feel ya Zac, but remember "Yester me, Yester you, Yesterday" Now that was my favorite in my childhood.
@@lesliesterling826 I completely forgot about “Lately”. I cried just remembering that song.
Classic work from a Master musician. The lyrics here are often overlooked. Powerful message.

Man, Stevie's voice🔥🔥 Isn't she lovely, written for his daughter, so sweet, I adore the song I wish, so groovy 😎🦄🔥🎶
One of those sho' nuff "swagger" songs - always a favorite and never gets old!
Pure funk and groove. Stevie is another rabbit hole you'll find is deep and rewarding. Cheers, guys...
This is not disco music. This is Funk music!! Stevie is the Master of all!!!!🎵
Funky electric piano and brass instruments are the two main ingredients for the "Uncontrollable grooving" spell.
I don't think there exists an instrument that Stevie Wonder cannot play.Great vocalist and a musical genius.
Stevie's the Greatest. Back in the 80s a French rock climber won a hard competition while carrying a Walkman and wearing headphones. Reporters asked him what he was listening to and he just said, "Stevie Wonder, of course."
You gotta listen to a LOT more Stevie! He will blow you away and he has a huge body of work. 3 GREAT albums - Innervisions, Fulfilliness First Finale and Songs in the Key of Life
Can never go wrong with Stevie!!!
Stevie Wonder hits “Higher Ground” and “Isn’t She Lovely” I believe he plays piano in “Ebony and Ivory” with Sir Paul McCartney.
Stevie Wonder has so many hits they are too many to name however if you are up for taking a dive into his music I would suggest - That Girl / Isn’t She Lovely / Sir Duke etc etc etc
He played another keyboard on this one, the Hohner Clavinet. As others mention, he plays just about every instrument.
Next up, "Sir Duke". Stevie's tribute to the greats that came before him.
Love love love Stevie Wonder. He sang sooo many timeless R&B and Funk bangers! Try Sir Duke or Higher Ground next!
Amazing you're hearing this for the first time! Such a phenomenal artist, get ready to dive in!

Great Choice. Stevie is universally loved. This song is my favorite. He's in Superbowl commercials with it.
Most people have NO IDEA how hard it is to film oneself. I have shot thousands of hours of interviews, so I know...You both rock ! Love watching your reactions.
Stevie is truly a musical genius!!!
i like the fact that Mr. Stevie Wonder was a music child prodigy. He was a genius child. And his music is timeless
A similarly funky tune from about the same time that you'd love is "Survival" by The O'Jays. I hope you look them up, that tune or "Back Stabbers."
Stevie Wonder is a musical genius - and he is one groovy cat...:) I remember I was young when his album Songs in the Key of Life (at least I think it was that album) was out, and at the Grammy awards they just kept calling his name, and his entourage kept helping him on stage to accept Grammy after Grammy after Grammy...
Stevie is without doubt one the best if not the best soul singer songwriters of all time. Talented beyond reason. Thanks for doing this. Try “As”next
Yeeaah, not _just_ a great pianist, a great instrumentalist, composer, singer, performer and just all round massively influential musical genious. A gift from God.
Two Things:
One. It is always interesting to see the younger generation reaction to songs that were part of my High School days. You guys are always enjoyable to watch and keep exploring.
Two. How the Hell did you get to the age you did and not hear any masterful Stevie Wonder songs?
After the corporations took over the music industry and bought up the major radio stations, they controlled what of their 10 songs got played over and over that they were pushing at the time. These kids have literally grown up without a music history. In many places, nothing but the favorite auto-tuned artists of the moment get played. No old videos get played. They don't know anything but the current batch being shoved down everyone's throats. Not mine, I can't listen to it having grown up with fantastic real music and musicians.
Stevie is one of the greatest singer, songwriter, musicians, arrangers and performers EVER!
Stevie Wonder is a national treasure. Just fabulous. Very influential in making Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday.
I was 10 when I heard this on the radio the first time, and hearing it now just sends me right back there to my room singing along and dancing. It is still one of my favorites (not just Stevie songs, but across all music). You looked like you were having a blast too - that's why he's a living legend.
Funny intro guys... Nothing wrong with having fun and laughing. We all need goofy and playful these days. Don't change a thing 🔥🤘😍
Stevie is absolute superstar, he has written literally hundreds and hundreds of songs, he his fantastic with his fast one's , but his love songs are genius ,and will make you cry.
Stevie did this an home recording studio he wrote it and played everything except the trumpets
I was looking for this comment before I posted it myself. Hopefully the hopefully the dive into a Stevie Wonder rabbit hole...
@@thorsluter7835 thanks thor , yes hopefully it's a great rabbit hole
Not many people can hold a candle to Stevie...what a composer!
Genius. Eddie Murphy in a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon, were discussing genius.Eddie Murphy said Stevie Wonder, Prince and Paul McCartney are and were on a level that you could see and feel when he met them, not just musically, just genius hands down.
Best struttin' song EVER. Too funky and groovy for words. Stevie Wonder and his music is a blessing. Love your vibe and this song !!!!!!!!! Love ya guys -- much respect.
Stevie Wonder and Elton John have one thing in common. They both record songs that do not require a piano on occasion and they are great songs too!
Stevie has a huge catalog of hits. I still have most of his albums. So glad I kept my collection. Telling my age. Keep laughing. Love you guys.
If you want to experience some delicious horns, Chicago will serve it up. Especially 25, or 6 to 4. Enjoy!
*Beginnings*
watching you two experience some of my favorite music for the first time has brought me so much joy! EWF! Stevie Wonder, KC and the Sunshine Band. Pure joy! Thanks!
This was a big song at house parties in the 70s'
He's a musical genius and has been in the business of making and writing music since he was a child!
The fish in the platform shoes are in "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka", great movie.
Yes that was it! He said the guy was in jail and when he got out the fish were dead? Am I remembering correctly? It was his favorite part of the movie.
Stevie is a musical GENIUS!
No one beats Stevie. He is awesome.
Stevie's harmonica playing is Epic!
Stevie was playing the piano but in this song he was playing the "Synthesized Keyboards" which was giving it that "Funky" sound!!!
He is playing a clavinet.
'Isn't she Lovely', Stevie is Awesome!
Stevie Wonder is a living national treasure.
WOW, the two of you are going to love adding Stevie into your lives.
