this was known as 'the fartin' song' for how it started out. 11 folks don't know how to boogie, right, gang? Billboard's #25 song for '75 Stevie hit #1 soul, and,#3pop. God bless!
Brilliant song by one of the most creative artists to come out of the 20th Century. This is a cool video placed to it, I get to see how the world was when I was just a year old. However, I dunno who that is from 1:37 to 1:40, but it looks like a man with a wig on.
I always thought the You Tube Fri films is still there and not this crappy clip. Such videos should be immediately gelscht. An original video is very hard to find, since there are just too many idiots are full as you and others
@pinboyjorf She sure as hell does!! Many of the people who say she was a "Hero" have NO IDEA just how instrumental she was in getting some of our POWs killed and tortured. She went over to Nam and actually condemned our men in uniforn
calling them "Baby-killers: to their faces.. That bitch should've been jailed or shot!
Well it was the truth, many soldiers were shooting innocent people. Don't hate her for the honesty, hate the mother fucking 'soldiers' who were committing the atrocities. I bet you are another one of those good ole' boy war hawk neo cons. That war was disgusting and pointless.
I don't care which version you think is better, please keep derogatory terms out of your comment. I hate it when people use words in a way besides that which they were intended for.
And, Stevie Wonder is a classic, a lot of people happen to think this version is much better, including me. Each version has something special about it, that makes it good in it's own way though. You like the other version, more power to you.
ok thats funky and we all got our opinions...but that bassline is not ready for the boogie on reggae woman bassline and the song period isnt the same quality..but to each his own...thanks for the intro to a song i never heard before.
Stevie had such a massive influence on everything cultural during his heyday that he is still seen today as a pioneer in the music world. Could you imagine him sitting at a piano and writing that bass line for this song! What a incredible mind!
@chrishickie yeah! How people can revere relative joker composers these days when they don't know Stevie and similarly-talented people, I don't know...
'Been looking for this song! I've been a fan of Mr. Wonder's for a long time but I heard this song on the radio for the first time a few days ago. Thanks!
The rythm,the music,the voice of the singer;all together has this song listenable for EVER!!! "I like to reggae.But you dance to fast for me." Imagine how this dancer must look dancing.
Man this takes me back., to a very good place. This was my uncle's favorite song, he has since passed, and hearing it makes me think of him and smile.
Only a person who did not live in the 70s would say it was ugly times, I was in high school then it was the best, communities were closer, people were friendlier, even though there were wars and high unemployement people generally still had good attitudes towards others and life. It was good times, music was great, people antipatated the release of albums like stevie wonder, songs in the key of life when platium before it was released!! music was at its height!!! you had to be there!!!
thanks for posting the video. this is my jam. this radio station used to play it promptly at 6am every morning. I was a college student and first class was at 8am. I would blast this through the apartment complex and have the whole place jumping! Good..good memories. will use it when as my 1st dance at when i get married. lol
In my view, Stevie is the greatest EVER singer. Certainly best Soul/RnB, just a genius. This track is one of my faves along with Higher Ground, I Wish and so many others. FFF and Innervisions are deffo his 2 best albums although Talking Book, Music of My Mind and SITKOL are all excellent. Don't listen to anything after that, OK but not up this high water mark. Still sounds boss, 35 years later!!!
damn right some1 should make a statue of him... hes one of the greatest. i am such an outcast at my school when it comes to music cuz i like his music and not lil wayne haha. i wish other kids my age would help me keep this stuff alive
O, this song bring back memories. It seems like this song used to play every morning when I was a kid. My mom had such a hard time getting me ready for school, because I did not like school, and I would cry every morning because, I did not want to go to school. I wanted to stay home and watch tv all day.
Hey funkmetwice! This is straight played out of his analog synthesizer. Just a dry bassline without any effect but of course phat and juicy. I think it's a Moog Synthesizer. But Stevie also played ARP Synths for a long time. (The ARP 2600, Odyssey etc) Great funky tune!
This song tripped me OUT when I 1st heard it!! Saw him perform live in Memphis and he did SO well!! Very entertaining and he got the WHOLE audience involved!!Just the best perfomance -BAR NONE!!
I'm pretty sure it was Jane Fonda. The right-wing $#itheads on this country have painted her as a traitor, or that she somehow aided the North-Vietnamese enemy, but she was simply outspoken against the rampant militarism in this country. (Which has sadly resurfaced.)
She was involved with the FTA Tour (FTA = Fun Travel Adventure & F%&k The Army)
She was involved in so many peaceful protests in the US - do you think that every cop has the right to shoot a protester? We have freedom of assembly in this country, correct?
