[songbird4him4eva]

STEVIE IS THE GREATEST.



[fatmandelarosa65]

this is the first time hearing it sung by stevie. he killed it

[vstarr89]

I don't usually condone murder but it looks like I'm gonna have to make three dumbass people an exception to the rule.

[tygahstyle718]

MISSING YOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!!!!!!!

[DilvirC]

I heard this song on the radio earlier, been singing it all day!

Stevie's truely a legend <3

[nidiaaw1]

@bassmanjoe This is the original. Stevie wrote this song. :)

[RedCloudBeechWaveAhh]

@nidiaaw1 yeah, its definitely his musical language, has his great harmonic progressions and sohpistication, voice sounds like he is 18 or 20 tho

[irenegibbonsable]

Marvellous...... that's all i can say.......X

[gtmobayer]

Wow-Stevie wrote this? I would have to say that he is the Star of India on the crown jewels of Motown! Mr. Incredible...Stevie, you are a wonder-of the world!

[chrissie531]

Heard this song on a radio station last saturday. Never knew stevie wonder sang this or wrote it. Fantastic.

[realtimes1980]

What a great emotional track by one of the true masters of Motown they just don't make music like this anymore, Amy winehouse recently put the motown style of music back on the map, please check out the stevie wonder & Amy winehouse mash up mix its great- Shame these two amazing vocalist never done an official duet

[christheone8773]

The actual release date on this tune was May 1, 1967-

[adler474]

Though you don't call anymore

I sit and wait in vain

I guess I'll rap on your door

Tap on your window pane

I want to tell you Baby

The changes I've been going through

Missing you.

Listen you

'till you come back to me

That's what I'm gonna do

[adler474]

Why did you have to decide

You had to set me free

I'm gonna swallow my pride

I'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me

I'm gonna walk by meself

Just to prove that my love is true

Oh, for you baby

'till you come back to me

That's what I'm gonna do

[adler474]

Living for you my dear

Is like living in a world of constant fear

In my plea, I've got to make you see

That our love is dying

[adler474]

Although your phone you ignore

Somehow I must explain

I'm gonna rap on your door

Tap on your window pane

I'm gonna camp on your step

Until I get through to you

I've got to change your view baby

'till you come back to me

That's what I'm gonna do

[omizfoshiz]

wow i didn't know he did this song

[mjjcng8958]

@omizfoshiz and he wrote it

[speechrighter]

Leave it to Stevie to write "filler" that becomes one of Aretha's greatest hits! The note at the end of each line (that Aretha turned into a chord in her version) sounds so powerful in the original! I like it more each time I listen.

[DustyBinBoy]

I only knew the Aretha version, but I'm in love with this one now. Damn, he sure knows how to write incredible songs. Love the emotion in his voice on this one.

[deeway1963]

Much respect for Stevie Wonder in writing this classic tune. However, I love Aretha Franklin's version the best! Check out Miki Howard's version as well! You'll be blown away! =)

[mjjcng8958]

@deeway1963 have you seen miki howard's unsung? after i watched it i was trying to figure out if it was her that saw on the vi for her remake. if you haven't seen it it is up here on youtube

[deeway1963]

@mjjcng8958 No I've never seen it before but will definitely check it out. Thank you! Peace

[morganbeach23]

@mjjcng8958 Yup. I have that Miki Howard record. I think it was done in 1988 on either Atlantic or Warner and produced by Luther Vandross.

[dkcvv]

I'm not impressed. Wanna impress me ? Take the wheel for a little while ! (Eddie Murphy's Delirious)

No joke : of course I'm impressed by your talent, Steve. You're a Genius.

[mjjcng8958]

@dkcvv my favorite part

[npenciso]

and the talent lives on.....

[Dyamanti22]

Legend Song, Legend Singer. Wow.

[mikehiphop42]

where have i been?ijust found out a few months ago that stevie wrote and produced this song.i like aretha's version but i just love stevie's version.

[proudaddy1980]

this is one of my favorite songs since it pours out the pain of a broken heart once it has been rejected and the other party does'nt care anymore or don't wanna listen to pleas or explanations no matter how sincere they might be.

[allenrholley]

I wish my wife only knew how much I Love her! I have made so many mistakes, but only God knows the true changes that He has been doing in me.

All I can do is stand and pray that someday she will come back to me!

[bonniekilty]

@allenrholley I hope she does allen. My love and best wishes to you. x

[allenrholley]

@bonniekilty

Thank you Bonnie:

My wife is a wonderful woman! Out of non communication between us, out of hurt and frustration, I said things I did not mean in my heart, but were said none the less and they hurt her. All I wanted was for her to come home!

[Mijumaru500]

@allenrholley

Well....?

[allenrholley]

@Mijumaru500

Nothing has changed as of yet; but I am a man of Faith and I believe God's promise to me!

[lilman93able]

the legend

[revenuesharing]

I never heard this before, I mean not Stevie singing it. This is great.

[DREDWHITEHEAD]

THE FACT IS STEVIE [WROTE] THIS SONG AS A TEENAGER WAY BEFORE HE OR

MISS FRANKLYN RECORDED IT. THIS MAN IS A OLD SOUL. BEEN HERE MANY TIMES BEFORE

[kngscb]

@DREDWHITEHEAD This was when Motown wanted to drop him, when he wrote this song he DARED Motown to drop him!!!!

[bronxboy47]

Who knew?

[slinney1]

never heard this from steve and didnt know he co wrote it---doesnt suprise me...lean on it boy!!

[Pouchy17]

So.... this is basically God.

good job stevie. love you man!

[whouwit24]

I like this version of this song although Aretha Franklin did it. I have this song on the "Looking Back" the anthology album. I got that album so many times because I played it so much.

[ssm3141]

This is my favorite version of this song; done 'way before Aretha's although I love them both. Thanks for the posting.

[hapzap13]

Stevie wonder has know peers when it comes to funk and soul.

[toodaloo3]

Stevie Wonder is "wonderous"! The name says it all.

[deborahknight20]

what can one say, the guy is amazing, genius. Wow, Mr feelgood.mmm

[samakidis]

just perfect!

[maoriboy969]

Love this song it's so seventies and the renditions and versions are so diverse!! The only other version I ever heard was Ruby Turner! I had never heard Aretha sing it, WHERE WAS i !?LOL!

[2georgeorwell]

like stevie sings

[amirchela]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVIE! I love you forever, A shout out to Calvin and to Maurice who've been such loving brothers. A shout out to your entire family, all the children. Happy birthday. i LOVE YOU FOREVER, Amir Chela, the photographer from DC

[mvp822]

Happy 60th Birthday, Stevie!

[Terranova0]

Happy 60th Birthday, Stevie!

love this song because there's a lil stalker in all of us...

[JaznDel]

I have to agree 100% with "lisboagreen"s comment... absolutely

[peterzang]

Wonderful song, but Stevie's version is a bit demo-ish. Lovely. But it was waiting for Ree to kill it.

[ohioplayer]

@peterzang It's not hard to take someone's song and improve the production., especially when you add the greatest female singer in history to it...but trust me, without Stevie's genious, there wouldn't be an Aretha version...It wasn't a demo, it was definately the real thing...They were only using the best equipment they could get their hands on at that time in history.

[DolceVita]

i am not used to this version. Is this Stevie's original??

[TheMsmother]

@DolceVita aretha franklin

[Nikelea]

@DolceVita Aretha released her's first but Stevie recorded it in 1967 and co wrote the song. His version was released in 1977, I believe.

[OsvaldoMenegazzi]

The words of this song are wonderful. I can remember my past...

[justyce4all7]

I love this version, very poppy, never heard him sing it like this before.

[OsvaldoMenegazzi]

Stevie Wonder..ful! I like this song so much!

[Krazy3912]

This song came out 3 month before my birth.

[CannonKnight]

I love both singers, (I even listen to Stevie Wonder on my iPod at the gym), but Aretha's voice is in another galaxy compared to anyone else. So I have to give the nod to Lady Soul.

[ltbrownhue]

Larry, this one is 4 u!!!!!

[christheone8773]

This tune was released on May 1, 1967, but it was never released as a single or on any of Stevie's albums-

[hitlersuxxx]

The song was originally recorded by Stevie Wonder in the 1960s, but his version did not appear on an album until 1977's Anthology

[christheone8773]

I dont know which version I like better, THIS one, or Aretha Franklin's 1974 version - I guess I like both!

[nidiaaw]

@hitlersuxxx

Correct! Stevie recorded it in 1967 but Barry Gordy did a misstep and never released it. So Stevie "gave" it to Aretha in 1973. Well Retha blew it up and uncle barry released it in Stevie's Anthology album in 1977 after Stevie's huge Songs In The Key Of Life success and while he was working on Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants.....another album that was badly marketed. But it's still a classic, no doubt!

[kragkenme]

hello nidiaaw, does motown still accept new recording acts on Tuesdays or Thursdays?????Gosh, them good ole days..........

[cymonebreathe]

stevie, you are a musical genius who captures the very soul of the major elements of life... in this song... it's missing a love who has left you.... thank you so much for your contributions. love you!

[MichaelIBM]

Nothing come's close to Stevie Wonder i love your songs forever

[krysis7]

A 17 year old writing producing genius. Wow I love good music. Almost shedding a tear and love has yet to take me through this pain.

[Ineedsomesoap]

stevie wonder is my hero!!!!

[shesobreezy]

This is a excellent song to listen to if you miss someone or want them back

[ssballs]

genius

[dushawn82]

This song was released in 1967, when Stevie was only 17!!! He created this song!!

[shesobreezy]

Did Aretha record this song the same year?

[fucu41]

@shesobreezy i think she did record hers in in the 70's and he did his in the 60's

[christheone8773]

this version was recorded in 1967, Aretha Franklin recorded her version in 1973-

[PoisonTea4u]

Thanks for posting

[joeruffin1]

sweet sound of Stevie.I would love to hear him do this song again, Aretha's version is overdone, on you tube, anyway

[mvp822]

Happy 59th Birthday, Stevie!

[RestlessZion]

this song always made me so sad...unrequited love is so painful...love it.

[lisboagreen]

This is just amazing from mr wonderful oh yes. xxxx
