Why is it that whenever I see Stevie Wonder on tv he is always singing stuff from the 1980s? not the best in my opinion. If I'm mistaken, then I apologize, but honestly, I don't hear him singing songs from way back in the 1960s and 1970s. If he thinks the hip crowd is remembering his songs from the 1980s, he's mistaken. Maybe some conservative nutjobs might bring up those memories and his songs from the 1980s, but I cringe whenever I hear it.
@203207ab Stevie still performs many of his biggest hits from the 60's, 70's and 80's. I went to his gig at Hyde Park last year and he covered a wide range of of songs going back to some of his earliest hits like Fingertips and Uptight as well as some more obsure songs that only hardcore fans would be familiar with.
To write this at such an early age was incredible, this is how you do it live, the orchestra arrangement is beyond belief, he really puts his heart & soul into it & makes you feel as if you are there in the audience, one of my all time favourite Stevie tracks, the man is pure genious.
@zippobang Well they went on tour together in 72, and did a medley of Uptight and Satisfaction, so there was mutual respect between Stevie and the Rolling Stones. The Stones brought their own interpretation of the blues to audiences who were not as exposed to it in the pre-civil rights era of segregation and 'race' records.
There's a wonderful cover of this song by a young up and coming band young UK blues band - The Ben Poole Band. If you like this track google them and check it out.
I was always under the impression that Stevie wrote this for The Jackson Five, since theirs was the version I heard first...THEN I heard Stevie's original some years later. It only underscores not only his songwriting gifts, but Michael's scary knack for bringing a beyond-his-years interpretation to this kind of material.
@Survivor2002 Yeah, mike just absolutely killed and owned this song. But i dig Stevie's original version as well, such great music, they don't 'em like this anymore, that's for sure.
....just goes to show.....talent always survives......BTW, this song always reminded me of something Jimi Hendricks would sound awesome on stretching it out with a guitar solo.....kinda has a Hendricks vibe.........
So sad that we can't hear such songs about God like this from regular radio stations anymore... Because we select more ungodly political party, leaders, they make our country more away from god step by step saying " equality of all religion"; Equality? as we all see, that's the way to take away christian's right slowly & bring more Islam or Budda whatever.
so sad many christians are blind, just vote for any men or women who are against our christianity because of their color or association.
If Stevie had never done another song after this, he'd still be a legend. I think this is my favourite recording of him from the 60s. The way the intensity builds in his singing and the music just tugs at my heartstrings.
thanks to this song, i'm now over a guy who i thought i was in love with but i wasnt bc he was only using me and treating me bad and it didn't sink in it until recently
thanks for uploading and thankyou Stevie for knocking some sense into me lmao
Stevie was 17 or 18 when he wrote and recorded this song. BTW- I always give extra points to the original artist of a song. Especially if he wrote it too.
amazing. i didn't realize eddie murphy could sing this well! (joking). the strings and kick drum just bring it and a vocal for the ages. all you pop american idol wannabes take note of real soul.
I've never heard this song before! Holy crap! I wish that the band was visible, i would love to see the legends at work! Talk about the Offensive Line of music.
I just realized how similar the dynamics of this song are to Try a Little Tenderness, just sped up. No one's brave enough anymore to let a song start slow and build organically. F'n brilliant.
The order was actually the reverse. "I Don't Know Why" was released as the A-side, but was not a hit for Stevie Wonder. The B-side became a huge hit for him in the summer of 69.
you throw my heart down in the dirt, oh, you make me crawl on this cold black earth, baby-yeah; i never knew how much love could hurt, 'til i loved you.... can you imagine loving somebody that much?
@poppinmycollar i think it's the unwillingness to be alone not wanting to start over. it makes you put up with a lot of drama you otherwise wouldn't put up with. i've had girls i was with that were dishonest and selfish, but i tolerated them because i was also a little dishonest and selfish myself. i don't know why i loved them, but i loved them. now i'm happily married, so i guess it's something i had to endure in order to learn and teach to my son.
@revlooshin Thank you for that. I do appreciate your honesty over that. Yeah in a way I do realize there's always someone that I do find that's better but it's the pain of being suddenly alone and fearful of the future that makes me willing to wait until that person is ready for me, when I should be the one to fix my flaws and find someone whose more likely to stick by me and be faithful and happy mutually.
@poppinmycollar i don't want to come off as giving advice, but what i learned from my experiences with women as a young man is that i was looking for love instead of allowing love to find me. i had female companionship from different women, but i wanted monogamy. monogamy is kind of a foreign concept to young people in our culture. we like variety. looking back, i wish i had learned to enjoy the variety more instead of chasing love. let it find you. when you chase it you catch hurt. this i know.
Can you Believe Stevie was only 20 when this was recorded? Pure Class. And you cant learn that, some people are born to greatness...he is one of them...:-)......
I've got this on 7" vinyl that's been hammered and you can hardly hear the song,but all the static just adds to the romance.You don't get that with MP3.Any truly great track should be released on record and be allowed to age with the artist,owner and memories of it's era.
This is the best performance by an artist that I have ever seen, felt, or heard. I'm in total Awe. Stevie, you see more without vision, than I do with.
This is truly the best performance of an artist I have ever seen, felt, or heard. Wow Stevie... I'm in total awe. Stevie, you see more without vision then I do with.
Can I just tell you how grateful I am for YouTube right now? This song...there are no words for how I feel about this song. I first heard young Michael Jackson cover it on the album "ABC" and I was transported to another place. I heard later that my other great love, Stevie Wonder, recorded it first, and I've wanted to see and hear it. Thank you thank you so much for posting this. Now I am going to go find Michael's version.
@maxou623 , my guess is that the time count running is because whoever posted this had a copy of video that came from the television production studio itself. It looks like the kind of thing that one would need to have if you were directing/producing/editing, etc. .
sounds a bit hendrixie influence, never heard this before, did stevie wonder ever play with hendrix, miles davis played or tried to play with every one good
@Marcus538 Yes Stevie jammed with Hendrix in London. He played drums, and I think Noel was on bass and they performed an instrumental cover of this song and another. Its available on an official Hendrix compilation of BBC sessions.
@kingsemihk Only started from sampling cos dudes were ghetto and it was a simple way to get beats..hip hop is surley dead, see how eminem is tryna sing on his new track? Cos even he knows he's bitting his own flow..
@kingsemihk And It died when the flow ran dry. Even Eminem tries to sing on his tracks now cos he knows his flow is spent. There is no possible way to create an original flow in Hip Hop< it has all been done... All you'll be doing is at best dropping some wack shit over a poorly mixed classic.. Just listen to Stevie.
This is the most emotional song i have ever heard. I can not praise it enough! It starts of kinda funky smooth, then a minute or so in Stevie steps it up a notch. After that the orchestration gets more and more intense to reach a climax at the end of the song. The only let down is the sudden fade out much too soon. I wish i could hear the master tapes when the tune continues. What a tresure!
Funk Brother Paul Riser and Lula Mae Hardaway (Stevie's Mom) are co-credited along with Stevie as composers of this great soulful and moving song. Stevie was just so amazing and, at a mere 19-years of age in this video, he had already been performing for 8 years. He was (and is) as smooth as Kentucky Bourbon on a Summer Eve.
Yeah the Stones' version of this song certainly can't hold a candle to it. Kind of like Jack Daniels in the Spring. But it was a tribute to Stevie's genius ... spiritual.
Man, his voice is like velvet. I love the shit out of this music. THIS embodies everything that music is and stands for. You feel this shit in your being when you listen to it. LOVE love :)
...everything/k -stops- and my whole mind is filled with the atmosphere that is created by this song with Stevie at the center , with Stevie's voice AS THE CENTER.
It's like the center of storm that's s starting to build.... and it builds ! ! ! !
i think i first found this performance on you-tube 2 or 3 months ago .... every time i come back & that opening distorted bass line starts, when SW starts singing , RIGHT when he starts singing everything STOPS _ * *
My favourite Stevie tune luv the build up. and the beat is GANGSTA!

The jackson 5 did a version of this song as well on their ABC album and it sounded good as well with Michael doing lead.

Come on now, Stevies version has more of an adult sound and deep soul sound. Jackson5's is good also.

@rjam1974 I completely agree with you
dbastard1977 1 year ago
@rjam1974 mike puts more soul and emotion into his version. you're right though, stevie's is more 'adult'.

It's like Stevies limited vision is suddenly orchestrated and filled by that lying cheating bitch, but he still gets down on his knees...

...everything/k -stops- and my whole mind is filled with the atmosphere that is created by this song with Stevie at the center , with Stevie's voice AS THE CENTER.
It's like the center of storm that's s starting to build.... and it builds ! ! ! !
