Stevie Wonder: 1-2-3 Sesame Street

[FrenchPolished]

This is mind-blowingly great.

Does anyone know for certain if they were cutting it live or was it prerecorded?

[krazeeleggs21]

WHEN YOU CAN JAM IN THE MIDDLE OF SESAME STREET, YOU KNOW YOU GOT IT GOOD!!!! I REMEMBER THIS EPISODE AS A CHILD;STEVIE WONDER IS ONE OF THE REASONS THERE IS SUCH A THING AS "GOOD MUSIC"!!!

[simondand1]

why isn't this the sesame street theme song?

[tccd]

Who is the soprano in Wonderlove? I know Susaye Green and Shirley Brewer, but not familiar with the other lady.

[dirkdiggla78]

@tccd Deniece Williams

[tccd]

@dirkdiggla78 No, I mean in this clip. This clearly is not Deniece.

[jclc0901]

diz an awsome song

[robbierolla]

I was at Sea World on the Gold Coast in Australia the other day, there is a Sesame Street section with rides for young children, took my kids there and this song was pumping over the loud speakers.

[zapphead]

ROGER TROUTMAN saw this episode in 1973 and simply said "I can do that, and even BETTER!"

[elterrible2007]

@zapphead Indeed he did!!

[thearrah]

T Pain saw this as a child and...pretty sure it changed his life..

[XxWhileItzHotxX]

Fuck whoever disliked this.

[tulsapete]

@XxWhileItzHotxX What if they're deaf? Shame on you for your language. I hope no children looking at Sesame Street clips check out the comments section....

[XxWhileItzHotxX]

@tulsapete "What if they're deaf?" Is that really a logical excuse? Then I guess my answer that is hopefully all the kids that come to SEE this music video are blind. Then my comment won't effect them.smh

[vortex670]

This takes me way, way back!

[FunkyJankets]

Ok, seriously. Who the hell is the 1 dislike? What is WRONG with you?!

[marenmccoy]

Thanks so much for posting this is my favorite Sesame moment of all time! Was this ripped from avideo release?

[taylorg9999]

I love the Talk Box!!!!

[TheFirstBroBIB]

This should be the new Sesame Street theme song!

[ijsaenz]

Where in the world is my Daft Punk remix of this!!!!

[djmadmike23]

[djmadmike23]

check out my man at the 1:03 mark he's actually getting it!....funky x 10

[Dekobee]

Cool! I hope Stevie makes a comeback appearance on the show.

[jimmyonthecorner]

anthony jackson on bass!

[MoMerks]

its sounds like they are saying sex industry..

[smallbee1234]

@MoMerks I love this song and now I am laughing because I hear exactly what you are saying!!!

[illone1981]

Beats by Wallace Green

Sesame St. was so funky!!!

[msdogooder]

Love this. I wonder if there is a real Sesame St. in the world.

[Angelustt1]

@msdogooder There is a Sesame Street in Trinidad in the Caribbean...:-)

[msdogooder]

@Angelustt1 Oh ok cool. Thanks for the info :-D

[Dekobee]

@msdogooder There is. There's a neighborhood called Sesame Street in NY.

[msdogooder]

@Dekobee Wow really?? I love that :D

[jonco74]

The bassline is sick.

[LauchEleven]

i wanna have the same talkbox as him :D

[dabighen]

This is how you jam on a children's show and still make it fun for adults...we love you Stevie Wonder!!!

[ruleta74835]

This brings back great memories. My childhood friend and I flipped over this. We couldn't get over the voice box...no idea how he was doing it, I thought it was some kind of special microphone.

[robbierolla]

@ruleta74835 He's using a 'talkbox''. Zapp & Roger used it a lot, if you remember the song 'Computer Love', that's a well known track using it.

[ruleta74835]

@robbierolla - Thanks...yes,.I'm familiar with Jeff Beck's use of it. Back in the early 70's when this was aired we would frequently imitate this song. Great stuff!

[wsbtam]

This was a the end of the episode where Stevie performed 'Superstion'..oh, to have been one the kids on the "Street" that day!!

[KiddFresh41]

Is Nate Watts on bass? Should be, he's been with Stevie forever..

[kooljsl]

No it is not Nate it is Scott Edwards

[MIKECNW]

I wonder if this was a parody of another SW song?

Just like when Fiest appeared singing her song "1234' and rewrote it for the show?

[NeuMasterful]

Fantastic stuff! Anybody recognize the bassplayer? GREAT line

[kooljsl]

Scott Edwards on bass and Mr. Ray Parker Jr. on guitar.

[NeuMasterful]

Thank you very much:D

[OneCrazyElephant]

Wish I could make what he was saying in the synthesizer...got the "1-2-3" part...but what else? Cool tune, though!

[JoeB0y16]

The others are "ABC" , "You and me", and 'Sesame Street.

[OneCrazyElephant]

Thanks big guy! Have been trying to figure this out for the last 35 years!

[JoeB0y16]

You're quite welcome!!!

[cbmuzik]

man, I added this to my favorites last night....and must have listened to this joint about 50 times already!

STEVIE RULES!!!!!

[andrewpoiriermusic]

Nice one, ultra groove.

[lukin5]

Hot shet!

[Rock2HAL]
