Today is the first time I'm really hearing the lyrics to this song. --> "If you really love me won't you tell me? If you really need me won't you tell me? Then I won't have to be playing around." Hmm. Got it.
I love this song but when its done live Stevie takes too many liberties with it, because of the breaks it doesn't need to be stretched out and he stretches it.
I'm not sure what you're talking about - Eddie Murphy never got hell for sending up Stevie. In fact, Stevie was IN on the joke, appearing at one point alongside Eddie for a joint skit.
@gregtthomas >>>>>omg how right are youuu !!!!!.... better still get the great british public to study him in gcse's for 4 years before applying....we're way worse than american idol by far...apart from leona that is!!!....xxxx leona xxx doin us proud xx
@gregtthomas You kidding me??? The last thing I need to see on TV is a bunch of wannabe's trying to be Stevie Wonder. No one chosen by Simon Cowell will ever be worthy!
I am not being rude or anything but you can get in a lot of trouble making fun of stevie or talking bad about him. Back in da day eddie murphy when eddie murphy was on snl he did a skit on stevie wonder and he caught a lot of hell for it....
stevie can do no wrong in a lot of people eyes even though he is only human...
@karameldreem that's ridiculous. People are entitled to their opinions and can say what they want. Nobody is saying anything bad about him though so I don't know why this topic is even being discussed. and who cares if eddie got hell for makign fun of him. people need to get over it if it was just a joke. don't take life too seriously. but like i said NOBODY here has said anything bad about him!
I am watching the flip wilson show right now watching him perform this song right now. I hear deniece williams vocals in the background when she sang backup for stevie called wonderlove. He performed this song on the flip wilson show in 1974.
I was cracking up as the band was coming down off the chorus and ad-libbing. Stevie's facing toward the band laughing and wondering who's picking up the queue.
Well, that's a yes from me. You're through to the next round.
