  • Stevie was like The Beatles: so much great material, he had to hold back many great songs from becoming singles and simply release them on albums. This was passed over for single release in favour of Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day, You Met Your Match and For Once In My Life, yet it is easily on a par with those great songs. Personally, I enjoy it even more. Perhaps his best up-tempo song from the 60s.

  • I remember listening to this while preparing for O´level exams in England, 1972. Was totally in love with a girl and this song along with "You´ve been cheating" by The Impressions still touch the nerves today. This is one of the best songs Stevie ever recorded in my opinion

  • I love this song !

  • Ths should have been a single.

    It was a later B-side.

  • verry gooood...--..-.

    

  • This song has extremely complex production for a song made in the late 60's. It reminds me more of the kind of Acid and Nu Jazz we hear from the mid to late 90's.

  • The best thing is that this song is still a strong groove today! Stevie transcends Race, genre and time as an artist. Simply the best!

  • this is such a banger, I could/do bump this every day

  • The B-side to Yester-Me Yester-you Yesterday. My aunt had this on 45. I FLIPPED IT OVER and I was in love with this one.

  • lets be honest, any track with jamerson and stevie on it isnt going to be a bad one is it! pure quality

  • This song had the power to be an "A" side. Was definitely hit material.

    The audio was on the weak side, but it had charisma.

    A real super soul ballad.

    A real treat for the ears, and a sample what the Mottown artist could really do.

  • I was in High School when this came out. I believe it was the 'b' side of 'my cherie amour'- correct me someone who has the original 45.

    I played this song soooooooooo much it had grooves :)

  • I remember the 1977 remastered (or remixed) version of this song, but it was featured in Stevie's greatest hits album "Looking Back"

  • @solesirching73 yes that version may be better, i love the extra reverb on stevie's voice.

  • wath a FANTASTIC song man.. thank GOD for this blessed man!!..

    ..and thanks to mr. johnnie who takes the time to publish this masterpieces!!

    jujuuu PD; i'm a bbbig fan of stevie's, and i discovered this song right here bout 2 months ago! 4 real; THANK u man

  • whohooo!! is good to know that is not just me that looooove this man and his music... still cant beleieve that i lived 16 years without his music!!!..

    since then, life has been less bad!

  • Happy 60th Birthday, Stevie!

  • One of my all-time favorite Stevie Wonder songs! It was the B-side of Yester Me, Yester You, Yester Day.... but, I played this song just as much as the hit song! I really believe this song had enough merit of its own to be a hit.

  • Holy crap, how did I go my whole life without hearing this great song!

  • When i first heard this, being the wonder

    fanatic i am, i said listen to this!! You

    hear even that early in his career those trademark chord changes. No one composes

    like stevie, then, now, or ever.

  • Jam Jamerson Jam!

  • I loved this album! had the vinyl record when i was 12 (I'm 25 now.) bought it at a flea market along with a record player that had cassette and A track deck attached . loved it ever since.

  • I have loved this song for years! Thanks!!!

  • this is a really pretty song by stevie wonder.

    i have it on a 45. it's on the other side of

    yester me, yester you, yesterday.

  • Well underated!

  • It HAS to be one of Stevies best.

  • ,,,,on the outside looking inside. Damn!!!!

  • Wow!! Stevie has so many gems on his albums that are overlooked.

    "I'd Be A Fool Right Now If I Should Hurt You Girl"

  • The bassline on this is awesome! - James Jamerson I suspect.

  • Stevie Wonder: The Movie!

  • This is one of my favorites!!

  • thius has the good beat and everything

  • This IS THE song!! fantastic.thanks.Makes you wanna relive those motown nights all over again!

  • i love this song!! my favorate!! '

    Thank you for posting!!

  • great song and an overall great album

  • This is possibly the most musically sophisticated song he ever wrote. It took me weeks to figure out all these unusual chord changes, and I'm still not sure that I have it exactly right!

  • Isn't this ubelieveable? Henry Cosby. An amazing Motown producer who's name isn't as well known as it should be. The man crafted some seriously mind-blowing tracks with Stevie. Sylvia Moy- another Motown writer/producer who should have her name etched in stone for the ages co-wrote this and many other staggeringly great songs for the Motown artists. As with many corporations, I don't believe Motown really appreciated what brilliant material was coming out of the "Snakepit."

  • @tomovox AMEN to all of this!! The movie "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" was an amazing and way overdue tribute to the Funk Brothers, but there really needs to be another film to showcase the producers, writers, & engineers who were also the backbone of "The Motown Sound".

  • @Bentom86, who knows? at last the Funk Brothers have gotten their due, so maybe with you tube and other avenues on the web, these producers, writers and engineers will finally get the recognition they deserve...

  • @IDLERACER I was thinking the same thing! Awesome chord changes! Very dramatic.

  • @IDLERACER E-mail me.I majored in theory in college.I can help.

  • Wow! great song!

  • Awesome bassline! ... c/o James Jamerson

  • Seriously, it's jaw-dropping.

  • Best track on the album, possibly. :) Check out also the very cool remastered version on the 1977 triple album set "Looking Back". Can be picked up on eBay, etc.

  • I'm partial to the first 4 tracks myself. Just about every song is really really good though. This is one of my top 3 albums if not my favorite from Stevie.

  • @ElectrickFingers Yeah I had that about-buried somewhere I believe. Totally amazing tracks on it!!
