i am 63 and have always loved these guys-they sing more like the older soul singers. I love the way they do bobby womack's song!!! thank you sososo much for posting this great song!!!!
one of the few instances in music history where a remake tops the original. A STEVIE WONDER original at that. This is an absolutely jaw dropping rendition of a beautiful, classic ballad. I first heard this over 15 years ago and its still as bad ass now as it was then. Them boys killed that shit.
Their talent is unmatched and you can't compare anyone out today to K-CI and Jojo, This was when you actually had to have talent and not a pretty face and a six pack!
This are two original talented and pure Musician's why can't we bring music back to where it should be, insted of this thing called rap-crap where no one can even sing a note or play anykind of Musical Instruments. How did Gangster Rap-Crap become so popular when its not even part of anykind of Music. Talking your ass off from start to end without singing one single note is not Music it is TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING a whole bunch of crap from start to end.
I give credit to all the genius that is Stevie Wonder. And he is beyong comparison to Jodeci and Kci n Jojo. I appreciate that Wonder's catalogue is better, deeper and more timeless than them. But, you know, I can't believe it either... But, Kci and Jojo completely owned this song. But only in this one performance. Their studio version fails to compare to this as well. Something just clicked that day, similar to when Maxwell sung Woman's Work on MTV live... I get goosebumps paying it attention.
I see old-school fans (I'm one) on Youtube always complaining that no younger artists can sing them like they used to. But I don't say that- There's always going to be singers out there who can blow,and if you open your ears and minds enough to seek it out, you'll find them. These guys are one example of that. To do justice to a Stevie classic is not easy to do, but they pulled it off. Well done.
They totally FUCKED up this damn remake! I mean to do Stevie this well, this confidently, this soulfully? Who can do this today? Again I ask you who? Nobody but Jodeci...LOVE this!!!!!
JODECI JUST OFFICIALLY RETIRED THIS SONG. ITS OVER AND DONE WITH, ANYONE ELSE WHO EVEN TRIES TO REDO THIS WILL JUST LOOK STUPID. THEY DESTROYED IT, IN A GOOD WAY THOUGH.
I don't know of anyone else redoing this song but no one can do it better than Stevie. These dudes killed this and it's def. right below Stevie's untouchable original version. They killlled this! 2 Thumbs up!!
@bithume14, this version is actually better than stevie's IMO . Jodeci's timing with the lyrics is more on point and more appealing than stevie's delivery. However, Stevie is still the MAN!
@yokoatearock Im sorry but you can't say these do a better version than stevie, and then say however he is the man. Clearly he's not much of "the man" if his own song gets done better by to rookies compared to him lol.
@alnloulou you are so right! they did such a wonderful job with this song. It's such a beautiful song! God these guys have so much talent and they are smooth....with class :)
strooka sounds like an idiot, if this is karaoke then what are the artist today. soul is where the music is at its best because it is from the soul no bullishh. jodeci werent pioneers in the music industry for nuthin
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it just bugs me hearing people sing using 12 notes when 1 would suffice. it's just oral histrionics. tamla motown had great singers. these guys are more bling than sing!
perhaps karaoke is a bit harsh but i think a song is ruined by those artists who believe it is soulful to sing by using 12 different notes when 1 would suffice. tamla motown singers sang from the heart.
man i remeber this lol I had my first kiss with my first girl friend to this song lol boy oh boy the memories. These type of groups need a come in a big way I miss hearing music like this.
kci and jojo have some of the most beautiful voices ive ever heard.. there lately live version is flawless.. and if nobody knew this little tidbit fantasia is there 1st cousin.. singing runs real deep in there family.. practically everyone can sang ,not sing SANG!!!!! ive always loved there live version.. flawless.. kci and jojo need to come back out and bless us with those beautiful voices.. back in the day kci and mary j was a mess but together they made beautiful music.. love these 2 brothers
does anyone have the performance of this when they sang at the tribute show for Stevie Wonder it was off the hook. If anyone has it could you post it please?????
One of the nicer versions of the Stevie Wonder classic but in my opinion Brian Mcknight's and of course, the original was was better on a more personal note.
This is REAL MUSIC need to go back to song like this that really had meaning and singers like JODECI all 4 were great artists I wish they would hook backup but this happen and times change JODECI 4 LIFE
I have to say this was one word AWESOME........
