  • I love it!!! I haven't heard anything that sounds this good since....NEVER. 

  • Man I had this album, I played this song so much I wore a white ring on the damn thing, Stevie owned the 70's, then Corporations took over the music business, then it became about the dollar instead of the music

  • This funk is hard enough to punch you in the gut. Brilliant.

  • Ray Parker Junior before he did that Raydio stuff on guitar Y'all. Then he jumped the shark with that Ghostbuster shit.

  • This song captures the '70's pure funk like no other.

  • i rocked on this when i was like a 14 year old. this song along with "big brother" and "tuesday heartbreak". and i still rock out on it.

  • Holy fuck. This is GREAT!

  • @Skarebel69 Duh! LOL

  • Guitar solo by Ray Parker Jr. All other instruments by Stevie.

  • sly introduced me to funk... george clinton made me a card holder... but this song made me a lifetime member... i first heard it at a house party in los angeles... i hounded the guy on the record player into playing it at least 20 times... lol.... "S**T BABY!!" do it stevie!!.... "as" is stevie's greatest composition.... but this is by far my no. 2....

  • This has got to be one of the FUNKIEST songs I've ever heard !!!!!!!!!!!

    Pleeeeease,....... music come back ! This is how it's supposed to be !

  • Glenn Hughes does this great !

  • 3:10 this part is amazing! O.O

  • Very nice song!! Maybe your baby done made some other plans.....

  • You should hear a then unknown Stevie Wonder protege (Chaka Khan) funk this up @ 18 years young with RUFUS!!! I'm still mystified why Chaka & Stevie have never did a duet!!!

  • I can't even explain, Detroit native for life....

  • who left stevie wonder on the beach?

  • Best Stevie song ever: Newer Stevie Fans Love the Innervisions but long time fans love Talking book. PERIOD.

  • Stevie's Blues...

  • That guitar is the flu.

  • Can I just say.....Love this!!! Well,  don't know...have to pass the spelling test first,,,,,,,,ROCK ON STEVIE !!!!

  • i used to lay on the floor and play this record over and over after my very first highschool heartbreak LOL

  • @musikchic  awwww how cute is that!

  • This is amazing.. his down-lowest funkiest. Wow.. i just watched the GURUFISH "Touch Your Body" video, then some Meters. I think Prince tried to coveer this.

  • @MrMattyHaze Yeah, this along with Meters "Just Kissed My Baby", and Ohio Players "Far East Mississippi" may be the grittiest low-down funk songs ever. That Gurufish is a new band?? Thats some bad-ass shit too!! Like Dag kinda.

  • I'm done....stick a fork in me! Stevie is THEE MAN!

  • Its that damn Moog-Synthesizer just blows this shit to a whole new level of FONK!!!!! But then Stevie was always one step ahead of the fonk!~!!!!

  • So this must be about Syretta. They got divorced when this album dropped.

  • i thought superstition was his funkiest joint. Then I heard this. The last half is so trippy. and ray parker on guitar? wow.

  • i thought superstition was his funkiest joint. Then I heard this. The last half is so trippy.

  • stevie's funkiest joint

  • This song is so funky that it stanks!!! Just the best!!!

  • I found this song in 2008 & lost it until today!!

  • I found this song in 2008 & lost it until today!!!

  • this was soaked in funk when it came out. you can tell.

  • If it's true that people enjoy most the music from their teen years. This song should be blasted over the intercom in every high school. I'm sure kids would get into this one.

  • Comment removed

  • real music.....

  • Lady Gaga? Rihanna? Katy Perry? They got nothing on this. Stevie is UNTOUCHABLE. Miss the old days of good music.

  • Comment removed

  • Man that fat bass hits ya in fundamentals !!!

  • Thanks for posting!!!!......still just as "Funky" as it was, when it was released.

  • i regret not hearing this earlier. this is too funky.

  • I believe the guitarist is Ray Parker, Jr.

  • @jesme131 You're right.

  • Who plays lead guitar and bass?? superb grooves...whatever is happening to music in 2010???? Pathetic...listen eat and spit out.

  • @musicmedias he is the baddest mo fo

  • I was searching for that song for many years. I thought it was Billy Preston but when I saw the movie Money Talks I knew it was Stevie Wonder. Also, it was under my nose since during the 70's a relative had that album.

  • Can someone please timewarp me back to 1972!!!!!

  • one of the funkiest songs Stevie has ever recorded

  • I could never image if my baby has had some other plans out of mine.

  • Pure unadulterated FUNK

  • Stevie Wonder and Kung Fu are the best things in life. I don't think Stevie would have the talent at Kung Fu that he does at music :( What a musical talent! Click me for Kung Fu reviews. Thanks for the video.

  • Hmmm... you take "Maybe Your Baby," play it back to back with "Kandi" by One Eskimo, and somebody was having a baaaad day back in the 70s...!

  • This song isn't good at all, wtf.

    It's freaking FANTASTIC.

  • Am i the only person who can only describe this song a 'sexy'...

  • this song is so funky and raw it just kills me.

    stevie's keyboard bass (again) can not be touched: funky, in the pocket, eyes closed, nasty, unleashed, talking to you and at you... damn, it's impossible to say. but the vocals and the bass are too deep to describe...

    that vocal sound, that near nursery rhyme on helium tone with the digging at/into you edge reminds me a little of 'running away' by sly- they're meant to fuck with you acting like you're in control- look at you foolin' you.10 stars

  • I never get tired of listening to this one. alehinbre had it right on the money! this song is gosbel meets funk meets blues meets jazz all in one! I Love It!!

  • Let's be real; his talent exceeds what most can do with vision or not. As a self-taught musician, singer, and songwriter I'd be honored to have half this man's ability. But I've learned not to reach that high...I just embarrass myself lol

  • maybe ur baby

  • Lil Sally Walker sittin in a saucer checkin out the guys that are passin by...By...BY...BYE!!!

  • Doors closing, please wait

  • @FreshleySnipes33  Man, I love how you put that!

  • this is a masterpiece!

  • This song reminds me of my ex cause she "made some other plans" and didn't tell me.

  • All sorts of funky!!!!

  • ...thank you falletinme be mice elf again...

  • Man...is it just me or does anyone else REALLY here someone who sounds like a young MJ singing in the background? Lol with the "hehe-hee"-ing and everything!

  • @BreakofDawn17 I hear it too! I know that Stevie had a back-up singer named Rico or Rego?? who had a high pitched voice. See Stevie Wonder Do I Do in London. But I can't imagine anyone so obviously copying Mike's hee-hee's or that Stevie would use it on his recording unless it was authentic??? Who knows?  Would be amazing if it was Mike! Love them both!

  • @BreakofDawn17 I hear it too, but MJ was too young to sound like this in the early 70's. He sounded exactly like this during the mid to late seventies. MJ hung around Stevie while he recorded and learned a lot from just watching him. But yeah, this is where MJ got it from, I guess lol.

    Anyway, I'm only listening these albums now. As someone who didn't grow up with his music, I'm glad that I get to appreciate him now while he's still alive.

  • @BreakofDawn17 That's Stevie, baby! Now we know what Mike meant when he said he spent all his time soaking up his fellow Motown artists' tips 'n' tricks in the studio. :)

  • One of the true pioneers of polyrhythmic funk he is right up there with james brown and george clinton.

  • Wow Stevie don't be sooo mean !!!! This is outer space pure funk of the highest order.

  • raw.

  • Who the fuck produced this record? Damn! this ain't blues, different feel, throat throttling, pigs squelling stabbed by pitchforks under the window, wicked sisters rippin their clothes off in the other room...

  • @socrates1818 Stevie produced this album.

  • @socrates1818 Stevie produced this himself.

    

  • I forgot to mention Fulfillness First Finale.

  • I have all of Stevie Wonder's albums. Talking Book, Songs in the Key of Life, and Innervisions are my favorites. These are the quinessential albums that defined the 70's. No one has ever topped these recordings.

  • this groove could be funkier then all of pfunk and ewf combined!!

  • You know, I heard Living for the City today, and it made me want to explore Stevie Wonder more.  Odd, I never noticed how much Paul Rodgers of Bad Company copped Stevie's sound (I especially hear it on this song). I mean, I love Bad Company and all, but wow, Paul was really influenced by Stevie.

  • just a good tune with lots of change ups. great every time i play it.

  • I'm not a musician so forgive me if I use the the wrong term for this instrument/computer but this song is what made me start loving the "Moog Synthesizer"

  • YES Yes yes !!!!!!!! SMOKE'IN

  • Comment removed

  • This song begins with the ending and progresses nicely to the very end. So hypnotic--it rocked me to sleep on many a babe-less night.

  • Dayum this has the coolest groove!

  • Comment removed

  • Обалденная оранжировка,я просто в шоке,высший класс,море чувственности и страсти!!!

  • Best Line To Say To A Friend When In You Had Sex With His Girlfriend With Out Saying Anything

    "Maybe Your Baby Done Made Some Other Plans"

  • Love those opening chords!!

  • Michael Jackson used this off key and out of sync harsh world painful testimony style and ran with it. Oh and it has been mentioned before HEE HEE(feel me) ... and then Prince at 4:30 and on ...can't deny the influences Stevie had on so many artists and performers.

  • I have seen Prince doing a cover of this, which is basically a combination of my two favorite musicians.

  • Comment removed

  • This is the definition of an excellent musician. I know different music sounds change as time goes by but now it all seems soft and boring. But music like this is real and shows real sounds and voice by none other than Stevie one of the best ever to bring the best types of music to the table

  • Pure Stevie funk !

  • it does not get any better than this

  • what a great song, discovered it today, great energy to it

  • i tried finding this song for months and now i found it. yes ima say it im yung and i lov the old songs. they all ddnt tlk bout sex. beautiful song. ima 90's babe lov the 70 and 80's

  • Clearly, another feat of genius from the master, Mr. Wonder . . . Thank you, johnnywalker23, for uploading these gems of his ~ (•8-D

  • This number has the deepest groove of anything in this idiom before or since. Including any of Stevie's other compositions. It's straight up blues taking a tour through funk and gospel. Blows me away every time I hear it.

  • @alejhombre No arguments from me on that. For me his funkiest.

  • @johnniewalker23 Preach IT!!

  • Comment removed

  • @cab12000 ...Hey Cab...Steveie Wonder writes arranges and produces the majority of the songs on his albums. FYI he plays a lot of instruments also (Stevie played drums on I Wish)

  • @alejhombre how about living for the city its a straight groove man

  • @ARMONI555 Yeah Man, LFTC is one of the heaviest most important compositions in Stevie's catalogue. I'm transfixed or mesmerized every time I hear the keyboard intro and the song means more to me than MYB...but, in terms of funk, MYB rules. It's unsurpassed in its idiom.

  • @alejhombre im gonna have to disagree with you there. but i appriciate where you are coming from with your opinion

  • @alejhombre This cut is simply Funk personified!...Superstition Live, rates high on the list too! How do you think Slash would handle the solo?

  • @alejhombre I think you can hear some of this funk in Chaka Khan's Tell Me Something Good. Of course Stevie wrote that too...

  • Funny, how this song makes you wanna shut, cry, and dance all at the same time. Aint nobody funkier than steviee wonder. He is on another planet all together.

  • The best song from Talking Book! I think this is his greatest album, but I'm sure people will disagree with me. I love this song! I used to sing this to my ex-hubby, & I did make some make some other plans that didn't include him. What a loser. But waited 7 years to remarry a great guy, who is just like me! I didn't have to change myself for him, he loved me the way I was! And that's hard to find! But I wasn't gonna make another mistake w/being with a loser. & 25 years later, still going strong!

  • What other Stevie Wonder are hard like this?

  • and its makin me worried...

    I feel like cryin...

  • Comment removed

  • AH HAAAA, HA HAa

  • Great point!....I honestly learned about Stevie Wonder from other artists...in high school I fell in love with Donell Jones version of "Knocks me off my feet" ...and this initiated my love affair with Stevie's music....his songs have been covered by SO many artists....of ALL different genres....funny how the Beatles, Michael Jackson, etc. receive all their glory...but this man alone surpasses all of them in my mind and even more importantly my heart....

  • Yep. Stevie Wonder and Little Richard. Those two are the whole music industry right there.

  • LORD, have mercy.

  • @sayyes2bull

    can i get a witness up in here

    let the bodies hit the floor

  • @momskid i hear you...preachin' to the choir baby. ha!

  • and there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months

  • Comment removed

  • "power was given unto him to continue forty and two months"

    Starting when? This song is pushing forty years . . .

    But as for funk, this track would make Robert Johnson or Skip James proud, without a doubt, especially the refrain at the end

  • When this song starts it's just like somebody turns up the gravity and I'm cemented to the ground. I can barely sit up in my chair, and the funk is so overpowering that I can't even think straight. All the troubles have gone away...this one is meant to be listened to with your eyes close, just feel it. Don't think about it, just let your body do what this song commands it to.

  • this has so much potential, i would love to remix and produce it.

  • Funny, i think it's perfect.

  • leave its greatness alone dont ever remix it please for the love of god

  • @OzoneLaiyarr I'm begging too.... Please don't ever touch it!!

  • @eamonosu Nah, from initial concept right through to vinyl, the potential's been fulfilled to the max right here - by Stevie. This, my friend, is THE manifestation - no more, no less.

  • would you let your daughter play guitar like this?

  • I'M A LITTLE BOY!

  • Hey! Thats Jeff Beck on Guitar BABY! :{D
