I always liked Dick Cavett. This was just his style. I wish more talkshow hosts did things the way he did. It was always fun to watch and he created witty banter with his guests. Real class.
dick cavett gets most of his momentum with eye contact.. this one looks like he's talkin to someone on a speaker phone. glad to see it. thnx for posting
I wish I went to school In the 70's, Music wasn't crappy Rap back then, it was REAL music. And when Stevie wonder dies, I think I will be Eternally Depressed.
@BionicChronicle Rap is poetry depending on what era your talking it was rebel music that no one understood and they took it's essence for granted if anything the 90s was the last best era for music talents and legends todays music is horrible I do agree
stevie's charming. the interviewer seems a little slow. either trying to make a joke out of that "together" line or genuinely not knowing what it means. noticed that in several of his other interviews as well. john houston had to explain to him what "pinning" someone means although the context readily provided the meaning.
im no interview connoisseur but i didnt find anything crappy about this, stevie was his enigmatic "out their" at times self, and the interviewer handled it well, very funny at times....
people don't understand that at the time, this man was actually the first to openly talk to the people he interviewed, he treated them as humans, not gloating over their celebrity, teasing and joking and sharp as a knife, he could banter with the very best of any of them, he also showed his honestheartfelt enjoyment of being allowed to be so perosnal.other stages offered casual appearances for such artists, but never on the level of intimacy that always was the case when visiting with Mr. Cavett
Dick Cavett haters are ignorant. He was the first Charlie Rose. Stars liked him. He put them at ease, therefor they opened up to them. I am truly thankful to have the Cavett stuff on Youtube. Thanks for posting this even thought your title is lousy.
9 times out of 10, when this 32 year old watches some old interview with some great musician or public figure the host is none other than the great Dick Cavett. Don't like it kid???? Go watch Tom Green or something before I put my bum on your lips............... ..................................................bitch!
What's up with the boom operator on this show? Every one of these I've seen has the friggin microphone drooping into frame. Epic guests... two-bit production.
Dick Cavett probably had the most interesting guests of any host...opting for very talented people. Stevie Wonder (nice guy who for some reason acted a little bit dickish to him), Marlon Brando (a dick who acted like a superduperdick to him), Bobby Fischer (a superduperdick for some reason acted like a genuine and nice guy to him).
@187prettyboy Watch more than one interview before giving your young, moronic opinion. He intervied the best entertainers of all time and was considered one of the best interviewers by the people he intwerviewed. Trying reading a little before typing. Give your generation a tip for me, learn something that isn't thrown in your face by popular culture.
@bigsleep32 lol he's a tryhard. Nothing to do with age or generations. I have seen many interviewers older than Cavett who are not try hards. Besides what does age have to do with being a good interviewer.
That is Really shocking that at dat time stevie thought he wasnt a good lyricst. especially when his most popular songs were the ones he wrote solely by himself(As,Overjoyed, DO i Do,and Superstition,You are the sunshine of my life,All in love is fair, Ribbon in the sky,Boogie on a reggae woman,higher ground, dont you worry about a thing,sir Duke,I wish, Masterblaster just to name a few). Wow i guesspractice Makes perfect for real. defining inspirational moment fo me.Luv u stevie.k
All you people accusing Cavett of being racist checkout the doco about Hendrix on his show. Plus, as for his being uncool, he used to tear strips of himself and never pretended to be anything near as hip as the artists he had on his show, he loved Janis, Jimi and all the guests he had on his show and never put them down for cheap entertainment.
Some one could tell me about Club de fans from Stevie Wonder..,? because I love him... dont speak inglish... i´m from Mèxico... i try write in inglish... sorry XD
please i nedd know fans club Stevie Wonder i want be part the club.....
Dick Cavett was an asshole here with Stevie and to his credit as a gentleman Stevie was polite and humorous the whole way through! I have seen plenty of other interviews and he was great with his guests, like Hendrix.
If you want to see Dick put in his place.. watch the Marlon Brando interview where he gets owned!
This was a jacked up interview. Dick Cavett acted like he didn't know what to say to Stevie and the interview was boring. I don't know what that was about, but I hope that Stevie didn't go back on his show again after that.
Every interviewer has his sluggish days. Anyone who says that Cavett sucks needs to see his other interviews. He really is a legend in the world of talk shows.
it's a sign of the times that nobody is "getting" Dick Cavett's style of interviewing.
a couple of facts:
he had to fight to have guests on who were considered difficult or dangerous. the word fuck was first heard on a dick cavett show. he was also one of few interviwers to have african americans on and not patronise them.
so get an education or
go back to audiences that will clap at anything, witless humour, one hundred km an hour news soundbites, and let your mind drip out of your ears.
@dancingdiplodocus I agree with you 100% on Dick Cavett. Some boneheads today just don't get it do they? I find this old footage from his shows ultra interesting. He had this great quirky style and a wit that's nowhere to be seen today. He was so much better than Carson and people like Letterman today are nowhere near in the same league.
stevie wonder is one of the greatest entertainers ever and he is a true genius, and he has gotten through his blindness to do great things. show him some respect Dick. dont be a bloody asshole.
He was not so famous as he is now 40 years ago mate.....lets talk about time and perspective here....he was just 20 years old then and not many of his songs were hits back then
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't think Dick is an Ass, but I do think he just thinks black people are idiots, just from how he was treating Stevie. But it was in the 70s so go figure.
the interviewer is an arse!!! and stevie is just amazing........... 'never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never know' ...... brilliant!
I know what's with the hating on Dick Cavett? He's done some really great interviews! He's had on all sorts of amazing people like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and David Bowie. Take it easy on him... he was one of the cool people in the 70's, ask your parents.
Dick Cavett was a str8 up asshole when he interviewed Jimi Hendrix as well,Cavett tried to imply that people would be upset with Jimi Hendrix about how Jimi played the National Anthem. Stevie Wonder is such a beautiful spirit,that he did'nt let Cavett get into his head. "Ive have'nt heard of any problems in America" what an asswipe Cavett was/is! I could've named a few,Assassinations of Both Kennedys,Malcom X,Dr.King,Lynchings,riots,looting,RACISM,gas shortages,drug use.
@mrinnervisionz "I haven't heard of any problems in America" was obviously sarcasm. Cavett had a better sense of humor than you do. Cavett was not a "str8 up asshole." He was always very tolerant and friendly towards his guests, and in many cases was a little in awe of them, but was also a comedian, which called for some good-natured irreverence which unfortunately has been misinterpreted by some viewers these days as rudeness and disrespect.
@TheMichaelPeterson Dick Cavett was the model of a lot of middle age,boring,i love america,L-7 Square white men! He was'nt being funny,he was uncomfortable & not even realizing that he was in the presence of the greatest singer/songwriter,producer,arranger,multi-instrumentalist,civil & human rights advocate,humanitarian in all of music! Dick was just being a d.i.c.k. Cavett was an asswipe with Jimi Hendrix also,he was accusitory towards Jimi about playing the fuckin Star Spangled Banner!
take it easy, i guess you´d like to see "L-7 squares" like cavett kneeling down before godlike hendrix -- for what, is he something better for being an artist? they´re grown people, that should be enough to talk straight!
and stevie wonder is just a damn good piano player and songwriter, no person cult please!
@MoveOverCasanova Actually i only idolize Stevie Wonder & Rick James,but I love Jimi Hendrix. Stevie Wonder plays much more than piano, he play organ,drums,bass,harp,clavinet,spinet,harspchord,guitar 2 name a few. As far as Stevie being good, he is Godlike,his music is cosmic,nobody in music then,now & in the future will ever be as great as Stevie! Beethoven & Sam Cook are or were close. Cavett was a typical needle-nose,american flag waving white boy! Fuck him & anybody like him!
get out of the victims corner -- maybe cavett is no racist, maybe you just have no sense of humor at all, thought about that? or are you a little kid?
@MoveOverCasanova I will take that part back,i have no idea if Cavett was a racist,i don't believe he was. I simply mispoke,but everything else i said, I stand by 100%!! Cavett was definately thinking the way that those middle aged & older white men thought,he was very very uncool!
@RAM71 you mean from then on! Stevie Wonder's songwriting,singing & musicianship as well as his advocacy for civil & human rights was about to begin, & he has not looked back! Stevie Wonder is the greatest singer/songwriter,producer,arranger,multi-instrumentalist,humanitarian,civil & human rights advocate ever! Long live the official UN Messsenger of peace & Goodwill (STEVIE WONDER)
@mjFan07421 Stevie Wonder became blind because he was a premature baby,in order to save his life the dr. placed him into an incubater & gave him too much oxygen,the oxygen burned his eyes. Also in the early 70s,Stevie was in a horrific car accident that left him in a coma for almost a month,his brained was severely bruised robbing Stevie of his sense of smell for over a year. The Dr, actually told his family & Berry Gordy that Stevie probally was'nt goin to survive.
It is an odd study of an interview that can't quite get the wheels on the rails. Cavett leads and drops the ball... the awkwardness then just feeds on itself and you just wish Cavett would stop acting like the token "square".
i'm a 13 year old girl and i love Stevie Wonder. he is great. but i was a little bit disappointed with this interview. Not with Stevie. I'm disappointed with the host person (don't know him i'm young lol) it seems like whenever Stevie answered a question, the host just left him hanging. he deserves more respect than that.
What is wrong with you guys...Cavett is a jealous scorpio tryna be funny but Stevie is hip...He knew how to handle him. The funny part is astrologically the are opposites and don't get along according to the stars. The suit Stevie is wearing I thnk it's cool a fashion statement...got that asian cut on it. Y'all are silly tho. But I still love everyone on here. Peace
Back in that day, Cavett was the only TV talk show guy who even had musicians like this on. He was usually better than this, even when the guests were diffident (which Stevie is not)
I guess the new album he's talking about is "Where I'm Coming From". Is that right? I've not heard that one, but based on the great albums he was putting out at that time I'm sure it was good. And just think - the world still had not heard the miracles of "Innervisions" and "Songs in the Key of Life" and "Talking Book". That's amazing.
It wasn't a "crappy interview". People just don't realize how good the Dick Cavett show really is. Come on, it beats the shit out of damn near everything these days.
I asked if you listened to his music OR followed up on him, not as a way to defend him, but to see if you were in any way familiar with him. My point was that if you were familiar with Stevie you wouldn't make such a dumb comment. If you're talking about just this video, fine, but you then went on babbling about how him being blind means people have to cater to him and all that rubbish. Then calling people "niggers" and crap like that. Yeah, I'm a mongloid though...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no he's retarded in that he's clearly been spoiled by people pandering to him merely because he's blind so he doesn't have a realistic idea of the world or himself.
Have you ever actually listened to his music or followed up on him, or are you just randomly posting comments on Youtube? That's a rhetorical question, by the way, because your comments clearly show that you are just randomly posting ridiculous comments.
2. No, good music doesn't make a good person, nor does it make someone a bad person.
3. Can you give any reasons as to why Stevie Wonder is a bad person? Not like one or two examples, because nobody is perfect, but a history showing why he's a bad person?
I look forward to hearing what you come up with...
you said you had a clear perception that i was "just randomly posting ridiculous comments"...
the greater the clarity of this perception, the farther you get from the truth. which is to say, the more you believe you are right, the stupider you are.
2 - i never said it did. another reason why you are a fucking idiot.
3 - i don't know him. i'm merely commenting accurately on this video & his identity within this moment.
1. Say what you mean then, don't use rough sentences and expect me to know what you're talking about. You should have used the word "perception" the first time around.
2. You said good music doesn't make someone a bad person. And I never said THAT, so if I'm an idiot, then so are you.. you are the one who
1 - the sentence makes perfect sense the way it is, i'd go mad translating my every comment for retards.
2 - you implied that i didn't like his music because i criticised him as a person so again my comment is appropriate & yet again you've shown yourself to be an idiot for missing that too. see, i never even mentioned his music, i said he was a retard & you brought up his music.
3 - your judgement on what is accurate or not doesn't seem particularly reliable tho does it?
No, you've got it all wrong. You said he's a "dick". I was asking if you know anything about Stevie Wonder to jump to a claim. Do you listen to his music? Have you ever read what others have said about him? Or are you just posting crap? We can argue semantics all day, but you still haven't really said why you think he's a "dick".
"Retards", "idiot", yadda yadda, basically code for "No, I can't answer the question".

He was'nt being funny,he was uncomfortable & not even realizing that he was in the presence of the greatest singer/songwriter,producer,arranger,multi-instrumentalist,civil & human rights advocate,humanitarian in all of music! Dick was just being a d.i.c.k. Cavett was an asswipe with Jimi Hendrix also,he was accusitory towards Jimi about playing the fuckin Star Spangled Banner!

@mrinnervisionz
take it easy, i guess you´d like to see "L-7 squares" like cavett kneeling down before godlike hendrix -- for what, is he something better for being an artist? they´re grown people, that should be enough to talk straight!
and stevie wonder is just a damn good piano player and songwriter, no person cult please!

@MoveOverCasanova Actually i only idolize Stevie Wonder & Rick James,but I love Jimi Hendrix. Stevie Wonder plays much more than piano, he play organ,drums,bass,harp,clavinet,spinet,harspchord,guitar 2 name a few. As far as Stevie being good, he is Godlike,his music is cosmic,nobody in music then,now & in the future will ever be as great as Stevie! Beethoven & Sam Cook are or were close. Cavett was a typical needle-nose,american flag waving white boy! Fuck him & anybody like him!

get out of the victims corner -- maybe cavett is no racist, maybe you just have no sense of humor at all, thought about that? or are you a little kid?
MoveOverCasanova 1 year ago
@MoveOverCasanova I will take that part back,i have no idea if Cavett was a racist,i don't believe he was. I simply mispoke,but everything else i said, I stand by 100%!! Cavett was definately thinking the way that those middle aged & older white men thought,he was very very uncool!

mjFan07421 2 years ago
@mjFan07421 Stevie Wonder became blind because he was a premature baby,in order to save his life the dr. placed him into an incubater & gave him too much oxygen,the oxygen burned his eyes. Also in the early 70s,Stevie was in a horrific car accident that left him in a coma for almost a month,his brained was severely bruised robbing Stevie of his sense of smell for over a year. The Dr, actually told his family & Berry Gordy that Stevie probally was'nt goin to survive.

It is an odd study of an interview that can't quite get the wheels on the rails. Cavett leads and drops the ball... the awkwardness then just feeds on itself and you just wish Cavett would stop acting like the token "square".

terrible interview...on both parts
MNAYMEN 2 years ago
i'm a 13 year old girl and i love Stevie Wonder. he is great. but i was a little bit disappointed with this interview. Not with Stevie. I'm disappointed with the host person (don't know him i'm young lol) it seems like whenever Stevie answered a question, the host just left him hanging. he deserves more respect than that.

What is wrong with you guys...Cavett is a jealous scorpio tryna be funny but Stevie is hip...He knew how to handle him. The funny part is astrologically the are opposites and don't get along according to the stars. The suit Stevie is wearing I thnk it's cool a fashion statement...got that asian cut on it. Y'all are silly tho. But I still love everyone on here. Peace

I guess the new album he's talking about is "Where I'm Coming From". Is that right? I've not heard that one, but based on the great albums he was putting out at that time I'm sure it was good. And just think - the world still had not heard the miracles of "Innervisions" and "Songs in the Key of Life" and "Talking Book". That's amazing.

Blackmace 3 years ago 3
Why, if I may ask? OK, it's not the world's most "in depth" interview but the aim is entertainment, not which synth he uses on this song or whatever.
youvebeenthunderstru 2 years ago
I asked if you listened to his music OR followed up on him, not as a way to defend him, but to see if you were in any way familiar with him. My point was that if you were familiar with Stevie you wouldn't make such a dumb comment. If you're talking about just this video, fine, but you then went on babbling about how him being blind means people have to cater to him and all that rubbish. Then calling people "niggers" and crap like that. Yeah, I'm a mongloid though...

no he's retarded in that he's clearly been spoiled by people pandering to him merely because he's blind so he doesn't have a realistic idea of the world or himself.
which is why he's a dick
r0rschach2uufknidiot 3 years ago
Have you ever actually listened to his music or followed up on him, or are you just randomly posting comments on Youtube? That's a rhetorical question, by the way, because your comments clearly show that you are just randomly posting ridiculous comments.
RhythmBluesSoul1 3 years ago

i like his music but good music does not make a good person.
the clearer your view of me is the stupider you are.
r0rschach2uufknidiot 3 years ago
1. Your second sentence makes no sense.
2. No, good music doesn't make a good person, nor does it make someone a bad person.
3. Can you give any reasons as to why Stevie Wonder is a bad person? Not like one or two examples, because nobody is perfect, but a history showing why he's a bad person?
I look forward to hearing what you come up with...
RhythmBluesSoul1 3 years ago 3
1 - my 2nd sentence makes perfect sense.
you said you had a clear perception that i was "just randomly posting ridiculous comments"...
the greater the clarity of this perception, the farther you get from the truth. which is to say, the more you believe you are right, the stupider you are.
2 - i never said it did. another reason why you are a fucking idiot.
3 - i don't know him. i'm merely commenting accurately on this video & his identity within this moment.
minomeshank 3 years ago
1. Say what you mean then, don't use rough sentences and expect me to know what you're talking about. You should have used the word "perception" the first time around.
2. You said good music doesn't make someone a bad person. And I never said THAT, so if I'm an idiot, then so are you.. you are the one who
RhythmBluesSoul1 3 years ago
made a correlation between music and the type of person someone is, I merely asked if you ever listened to his music.
3. Yes, you are commenting, I'm not sure "accurately" is the right word though.
RhythmBluesSoul1 3 years ago
1 - the sentence makes perfect sense the way it is, i'd go mad translating my every comment for retards.
2 - you implied that i didn't like his music because i criticised him as a person so again my comment is appropriate & yet again you've shown yourself to be an idiot for missing that too. see, i never even mentioned his music, i said he was a retard & you brought up his music.
3 - your judgement on what is accurate or not doesn't seem particularly reliable tho does it?
minomeshank 3 years ago
No, you've got it all wrong. You said he's a "dick". I was asking if you know anything about Stevie Wonder to jump to a claim. Do you listen to his music? Have you ever read what others have said about him? Or are you just posting crap? We can argue semantics all day, but you still haven't really said why you think he's a "dick".
"Retards", "idiot", yadda yadda, basically code for "No, I can't answer the question".
