  • Give me a break at 1:57; I lived and breathed this for years, what a joy to have it so accessible on you tube="Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths"

  • Damn, never knew Stevie could dip into a Latino-sounding music too.... sweet Jesus! What a jammm!!

  • are there any black people who would say the beatles or led zep were better than stevie or michael jackson?

  • @elvispresley718 No way and I am white.

  • @tannmcfa1 why is that dear friend its not like they are affirmative action cases black peoplefor the most part hate beatles and zep they brought som ething to the table that intimidates people

  • @elvispresley718 I TOTALLY agree with you Stevie and Michael just had a talent for pouring their hearts out in a song. Michael and Stevie are the true meaning of a talented icon.

  • how could anybody have more talent than stevie?

  • Love this song!!

  • When was this song recorded? 1973? "I-raq, I-ran," Boy, was he on the money!

  • the mold was broken when he was created (never be another)

  • Ahhh..... The pleasure of Stevie

    

  • Cl@ss!ck

  • Like I said, I went to go buy a Chevrolet today.

  • Pink Chevrolet??

  • Todo tambien chevere!!!

  • Somehow I hadn't heard this version till now, despite having listened to Incognito's good cover of it a few years back. I like this version too, nice feel.

  • what does chevere mean?

  • THANK YOU JOHNNIEWALKER 23 YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY

  • TOO COOL! STEVIE ROCKS......HE IS ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING MOTOWN SINGERS. WE HAVE LOST SO MANY. Thank God for Stevie!!!!

  • If anyone do not like this song, I really feel sorry for you! you lack a soul, not to mention taste!! no love in your life!1 is life really worth living for ya?? just asking!!

  • true. everybody's got a thing. nobody's perfect. I got autism. it doesn't matter

  • Did anybody catch the imfamous M.J "hee-hee" at 4:24??? Well considering Michael didn't start doing that until the early 80's, looks like he also admired and was influenced by Stevie!! Wow, I can't believe I caught that just now, as many times as I've heard this song!!! Love it!! :-D

  • @KissMeKindly81 MJ closely studied Stevie at Motown,its a clear influence if you compare early J5 vocals of little mike compared to his vocals after leaving motown with The Jacksons as a teenager. Diana Ross and James Brown also playa big role in his vocal style

  • @KissMeKindly81 Stevie did that "hee hee" adlib for the first time on the song 'Maybe Your Baby' from his 1972 album 'Talking Book'.

  • A Norweian insurance company uses parts of this song in their commercials on TV.

    Mostly about somebody fucking up their car in some way, and random people in smoking come out of nowhere singing this. XD

  • @Scourgeandmephiles93 I can imagine the car wreck and people getting out of their cars and dancing lol.

  • @Scourgeandmephiles93 Sweden too :P

  • @Scourgeandmephiles93 that guy who flipped that ship over needs a 'todo sta' bein CHE! vere'

  • so true!!!

  • Beirut, Iraq, Iran... very very fluent Espanish

  • 58 people are CHEVERE

  • Rythm is in the heart of the beholder!

  • "Cause like I been to, you know, Paris, Beirut, you know, I mean, uh... Iraq, Iran, Eurasia... you know I speak very, very, um, fluent Spanish, uh... 'Todo está bien chévere.' You got that?"

  • maracas

  • As great all-around as he is, his best songs are the happy ones.

  • Stevie Wonder is a genius...how can anyone dislike his music???? Songs in the Key of Life always my favorite...

  • At the moment I have to listen to this song the whole time. It's so wonderful and the lyrics are great.

  • My ultimate most favorite Stevie Wonder song! Lifts my spirits to hear it.

  • this is music. i love him!!

  • Now I'm going to be singing this song for about a week now that I listened to it. Oh well, at least it's not a Lady Ga Ga (or is it Ca Ca?) song!

  • @samsmutt Definitely caca!!!

  • Yeow! What a song!

    

  • Thumbs up if you think of Will Smith and Eva Mendes dating (from Hitch) when you hear this.

  • One of Gods better ideas I gotta agree :D

  • Hey give great determination and ideas credit too, but yeah Stevie is the man.

  • LORD ,WE HAVE EYE,BUT WE CAN'T SEE;A BLIND MAN CAN SEE, WHY CAN WE?

    The third- eye is powerful,for it see things on a deeper level. Stevie uses his third-eye,whereas,he can create deep-music which touch the soul.

  • @Ggba271959

    u speakin truth!! hopefully others will listen.......

  • I WAS 15 WHEN THIS CAME OUT & I LOVED IT & IT MADE ME HAPPPPY IʻM NOW 53 & I STILL LOVE IT & IT STILLS MAES ME HAPPPPY!

  • I grew up on Motown, Stevie, Marvin, Al Green, Bill Withers, Jackson 5. An era in music that is still unmatched. I love it all.

  • this nis my song! this song is something everybody should be playing in cocktal parties!!

  • How could this have any dislikes?!!?!?!

    

  • @arapiisme for real tho'!

    

  • @arapiisme

    Because some people are stupid.

  • @arapiisme If a person dislikes something by Stevie you have to let it go over your head. This person doesn't deserve your's or my time. Hopefully, one day they will have an eye opening experience and realize who made the day possible. If not, "don't you worry about a thing".

  • @prepsquirrell A blast of doubletalk "Spanish", then:

    So you dig mama -- you understand that?

    Girl: No.

    Stevie: Well uh, like uh I can understand how you can't 'cause I been to, y'know, Paris, Peru, y'know, I mean, uh, Iraq, Iran, Eurasia... y'know I speak very, very, um fluent Spanish -- ah 'Todo 'sta bien chevere' -- you understand that?

    G: 'sta bien chevere.

    S: Chevere.

    G: Yeah.

    S: Che-ve-re -- is that right, mama? 'Cause I got my shakin an' I'm gonna do a little --

  • tribe called quest mentioned stevie wonder creative people .Stevie wonders harmony is genius.Somethings in life are just good this is one of those things.

    The rest is utter cunting bullshit.I feel like im being rude to Bill cosby sorry Stevie lol

  • i loooove this song stevie wonder forever!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i loooove this song stevie wonder forever!!!!!!!!!!!

  • high quality music!

  • Genius

    

  • I don't really get it. I don't see what's great about this music. I respect Stevie Wonder and his mind and his lyrical writing, but I don't see how people could like this MUSIC. It's monotonous and flat to me. I guess all the people even watching this video are already Stevie Wonder fans, so that would explain all the likes and positive comments.

  • @michellica1983 Well what do you like, then? I haven't the faintest idea why you don't like this.

  • @priscianusjr I like Stevie Wonder just not some songs. This being one of them.

  • @michellica1983 I'm not really sure, all I can really say is that it doesn't sound like it goes anywhere... sorta... if that makes sense. The music itself I mean, is flat. As for what I like... that list is too long. I'm a musician, I play a lot of instruments and I like a lot of music, so it would be difficult to give you a definitive list. But I like all genres from heavy metal, to classical, to baroque/romantic, to electronic, to alternative rock, to oldies/doo-wop, to hip-hop.

  • @michellica1983 There's a lot of great stuff from this period, like Superstition, Big Brother, etc. What's unusual about this one is that it's based on salsa. It has a joyous spirit, he's really having fun. Musically, he's playing with a descending chromatic scale. I love how he uses the "chévere" from the opening double-talk as a musical motif towards the end. Maybe you just don't like salsa, or maybe you don't like Stevie's riff on it. There's no accounting for tastes.

  • @priscianusjr It sounded like the Sex and the City theme at first. Which I love.  But it was only for a moment then it didn't really do anything for me. I also don't really like the descending scale in there.

  • @michellica1983 I really don't get how you can like that Brenda Lee and Pasty Cline stuff what's so thumb's up about that twangy music lol... if you don't like Stevie why bring your azz  here go away!!!

  • @brycej134 Why are you talking to me? I don't know you and based on your stupid comments, I'm glad I don't.  Who the hell said I liked Brenda Lee? And who the hell said I DIDN'T like Stevie? In fact, I specifically SAID I DO, just not this one song. So you're just an idiot, just like 99.99999999999% of people on youtube. Are you really mentally handicapped though? I mean, be honest. Are you??

  • @brycej134 I "bring my azz" here because youtube has music and I want to listen to music. If I have never HEARD said music, then I cannot very well be a fan, can I now? So, by your screwed-up logic, what you're saying is that people should not go on to youtube to listen to music if they have never heard it before. How ridiculous you are. You're just an idiot who thinks only fans should listen to the same music all the time and anyone who isn't a fan [yet] isn't allowed - as if you own this page.

  • @michellica1983 What's great about this song/music is that after more than 38 years, when I hear this song I jump up (or feel like) and start dancing just as I did when I was 19! It moves me emotionally and physically! :)

  • @michellica1983 i would say that this perticular song has chord progressions which are more adventuorous than tody's typical r and b song and of cousre rap was designed to have no chord changes and to steal from billy squier!

  • I love the extremely racist intro.. LOL

  • I love this tune by Stevie Wonder...

  • Every commentary could be compiled for one : EPIC SONG FROM AN EPIC ARTIST NAMED STEVIE WONDER

  • when you have petty bastards around you this song reminds one theres something else out there.

  • what is he saying at the start of this video?

  • The living legend!!

  • A song for life

  • im nervous sync ~ dont worry j wewe got your back bro

  • Damn, I'm supposed to be doing homework right now. . .but I've just gotta get up and do the little cha-cha dance I always reserve for this song. . .X-D (I wish I had a partner to dance with though. . .) 'Cuz this lil mama ain't worried 'bout a thing right now!

  • stevie wonder is the best

    

  • Through words and music this man has given mankind the ability to truly "see".

  • lets dance!!!! who wants to dance!!!!!!!

  • love and love and love

  • my favorite part is the backup singing che vro let....

  • I related with all these without even relizing.

  • And again as only he can do...Stevie makes you groove while singing some not so happy lyrics. I mean he's happy because he knows he'll be there for her when it's all over...but the situation itself is pretty bad.

  • Stevies playing a moog bass. He played all the instruments on this album except for the guitar solo on visions. Peace

  • Love the was he tries to speak spanish.

    Who the hell played the bass in this piece? He was jaming!!

  • @poeavor Tries? 

  • Love the was he tries to speak spanish

  • almost fav song of all time. almost. too many to have just one....

  • Unfortunately I sit here in India listening to a Euro trash singer RUIN this song as we speak.

  • If you ever think there is no hope and life is not worth living, listen to this and you'll snap out of it!

  • Stevie gets my happy tears flowing !!

  • @jaronnewyork

    Yeeeeeeesss!

  • stevie has a beautiful voice i want to meet him before its to late

  • Stevie Wonder: Simply the fucking best.

  • This man is GOD given

    

  • @abcdef1236044 this man is a fucking loser

  • Stevie Wonder can speak at least 5 languages that i know of

    (Spanish,German,French,Portuge­ese,English)

  • he's been to Eucrasia - really ... :)

  • 54 people disliked this because they couldn't find the love button

  • He played this song two days ago, Sept 29, 2011, live at Rock in Rio. Amazing show! Look it up on Youtube.

  • As an hispanic I approve the spanish gibberish at the beginning

  • I'm high.

  • Classic soul at its best. Drop dead Gaga, Beiber (and pretty much all the rest of the post-millenia detritus).

  • this song makes me sad i dont know why :(

  • @doctorw2  that's surprising, listen to the words and the minor key. but it's a great, great song

  • @Ramona817 its a good song i love it but it makes me sad i guess becuase it reminds me of the end of the movie holy man with eddie murphy.

  • @doctorw2 Nothing to do with this song, but "x makes me sad and I don't know why" seems like a classic sign of depression. Also, please take all medical advice you get from YouTube with a grain of salt. :-)

  • 54 people are ass cancer

  • it's a BEAUTIFUL thing when SW can 'preach' the gospel of JC thru SONG (MATTHEW 6:33-34)

  • For those of you who are truly educated about the finer aspects of GREAT MUSIC............has there ever been a songwriter in the ENTIRE HISTORY of recorded music that has written as many positive, spiritually uplifting, self-motivating, "MAKE YOU FEEL DAMN GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF" songs than Stevie Wonder? Seriously, I love & respect this man on so many levels......he has brought so much LIGHT into my life, throughout so many periods of darkness. For that, I am eternally grateful.

  • @aliquippawill I know what you mean. I can be thinking so many negative things, but Stevie's music can make me forget all that.

  • @aliquippawill Truer words never spoken. Stevie Wonder was God sent to bring us his inspirational music through his genius. This song just gives me such a good, nostalgic feeling. 'Takes me back to the innocent little 5 year old I was when this came out. I used to sing it to the top of my voice.

  • @aliquippawill Earth, wind and fire?

  • @jacksondarryl34 yes yes and YES talk about light EWF is spiritual no matter the religion.... Stevie unfathomable talent and sooul. They both make up about 30% of my music :) LOVE

  • @aliquippawill I soooooo agree!  Stevie rocked didn't he? He is truly a legend!

  • chevrolet?

  • always reminds me of being in the caribbean :)

  • Cuban salsa.

  • I remember going to parties and hearing this song, and the smell of pot.

  • cherere stevie chevere!!!

  • wonderful song and wonderful singer !!! Is stevie wonder still recording? what an incredible artist !!!!

  • @biebernista10 .. last i heard, Stevie still does gigs on call. I'm guessing that it's a managed thing - y'know as he ain't getting any younger.

  • Todo esta bien CHEVRE!...love this song...JUST for that line.

  • If this song was a potato it'd be a good potato

  • @Derpunit10 Lmfao....

  • @Derpunit10 That's the funniest things I've ever read, lol

  • @Derpunit10

    Correction: It'd be an AMAZING potato.

  • @Derpunit10 delicious, loaded with chives, cheese, and BACON! :P

  • stevie sounds so great

  • I. LOVE. THIS. SONG

  • Stevie Wonder is the kind of singer that could make T- Pain look good lol!

  • @TheAlymax What does that mean?

  • @TheAlymax uhm...WHAT?!!!

  • The Best!

  • This song is just too funky for 54 people.

  • I love this classic!

  • Masterpiece.

  • i heard this in my dad's car, we was jamming up in the car like it was 1999!!!

  • Can anyone please tell me what are the things he said in the beginning? Like all the things about Iran and Iraq? lol I bet it's some silly drunk mumbling of Stevie's..

  • @krristaar I've listened to this song hundreds of times, I can't intrepret Spanish or Portuguese; but I always imagined it was Stevie trying to impress some Spanish chick with how worldly of a guy he is.

  • ça déchire tout simplement des annuaires !

  • I don't know how so many people can not like this song or Stevie Wonder in general. I'm a Hard Rock fan and I just found Stevie Wonder by accident in a live video with him performing with Prince and I like his songs.

  • i cannot BELIEVE 54 people don't like this cut!!...i didn't know there were that many TONE DEAF folk out there..u never know man:>>>>...i think stevie's version is the best though..he put such a unique flavor on it..& i rest my case...

    P.S. THIS SONG IS PERFECT 4 THE CHINESE SHUFFLE (ALL MY ORLANDO, FL PEOPLE KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN 'BOUT)...peace from da atl........

  • LOVE IT MAN GRAB ON TO HIS HAND AND DONT LET GO FEELS GOOD MAN ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON SUNNY AND PARTLY CLOUDY. HE GOT YA

  • This song is eternal!

  • 54 people are CRAZY!!! HOW COULD ANYBODY HATE THIS???

  • @Mspendragon72 Believe me, anyone who pressed dislike, they accidentally hit the wrong button!

  • What did Stevie wonders mom do when stevie had been naughty?

    Refurnished his room.

  • @ufgra01 I used to own an Old English Sheepdog. When inside I usually put his bangs in a clip..you know,,,out of his eyes. One time I moved the furniture around and forgot to put on the clip. Oh my, he was walking into couches and tables.

  • im from spain, and even when i have lived in LA since i was 6 i really can feel the latin beat and i looooove it! one of the most beautiful artist!
