Stevie could sing any song, I mean ANY SONG and squeeze the soul out of it until the pips squeaked. The man is a veritable genius. I must have listened to this track a thousand times and his vocal still moves me to tears.
I have been looking for this song for so long man i love it... i have been asking all of the old people that i no if they have it but they never do... Im so glad i found it again
I have to say Motown took this song to another level. Stevie and Clarence Paul did a great version of this song by Bob Dylan. My mom bought this record when it came out and we played it a lot. Stevie did a fantastic job on this song along with Mr. Paul and well its a classic all its own even though this is a cover of the original. Love it.
This is magnificent. Stevie truly made this song his own... only a very small can take a song that isn't originally there's and vocally personify it as their own and of course, Stevie is in that small, elite company. One of the best renditions of any song ever recorded... my personal favorite version of the song, along with the late, vocal ICON, Sam Cooke's.
@thearktech You're right. You gotta give Dylan as much credit or more for writing this masterpiece. Does ANYONE know the name of the background singer who answers "Too many years have gone by already now, Stevie"?
The answer is blowing in the wind......listen to the drums, guitar, banjo and piano....awesome, it almost sounds like soulful bluegrass...what a sound. to all u music lovers out there u know what i mean
Naw it aint about me having Bieber anything he is too young to encite me not my type of flavor young man he just is out there and trying to make it in the game he does have some talent I saw him banging the drums and he can flat out go on them as well man. I am of the old school persuation so this music of today can hardly move me to even pat my foot much less give me the fever. Especially the pop music I am a funkster ie Cameo, The Ohio Players (my home boys) Dayton Ohio in the house...
Yaw'll leave Justin Bieber alone he is a decently talented child no comparison is needed before it's over he may become a legend as well. give him time to grow and mature. Stevie had a shreeky voice when he was a baby boy and so did Michael and guess what Yaw'll did too! LOL Music is here for all of us to enjoy so stop the comparison's and criticisms just sit back and enjoy please?
Man, Stevie took this song, Jimi Hendrix: "All Along The Watchtower", and Randy Crawford did "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" to death. Guess Dylan's a better writer than singer.
Yo, real talk. There's no cool way to ask people to check out the song on your channel, right? So I'm just going to lean into this: listen to my song, or I'm just going to keep asking.
I was going to comment then I looked down and I already posted on this marvelous song. Just look down a bit. I Love this awesome version by Stevie Wonder - it kicks anyone else's version - well, right out the door!!! This is a song that will forever give me chills and touch my soul. Just a beautiful song.
This wonderful, in my opinion the best, version of "Blowin' In The Wind" never ceases to fill my heart, give me chills, and touch something down deep inside. The song was always a favorite. It has never failed to touch me after all these years; I feel certain it never will. Thank you for a meaningful, beautiful post.
@squaltch ~ I had the same reaction, too. At first. But then it slowly dawned on me that Stevie flips Dylan's mournful masterpiece into a song of hope. And that's so totally Stevie.
I was given this album for my 15th Birthday, by an American Airforce Officer here in the UK just after it was released. The Officer said ''This is the future son, It'll get into your soul''! and it did. Even after all these years I still love Stevies music. I have EVERTHING he ever published music wise.The Officer married my sister!
Thanks Stevie for the joy you've bought to the world.
@ursulamh i don't know if you're referring to another song, but on this one, the guy singin' with Stevie is Clarence Paul, who was his main producer during his teenage years.
can someone tell me why justin bieber has too be mentioned in every god damn video on youtube when he doesnt have shit to do with it? Cant people just enjoy the music and forget about their hate for one time :)
I was 10 when this came out. Stevie's voice blew me away. The words to this song has meaning. (I was in Birmingham, AL at the time) It's as significant now as it was then.
ilove love love love stevie wonder i mean am 16 and motown in my favourite genra they were the try founders of jazz rock and pop and soul i mean james brown jackie wilson otis readding chuck berry stevie wonder the supremes aretha franklin boys 2 men the jackson and my all time hero MICHAEL JACKSON <3 all i wanna do is follow in the foot prints . can yall watch ma vids it wood mean so much to me if yous watched and gave me feedback :)it wood take two seconds <3
@KARLIJIM The guy singin' background is Clarence Paul, Stevie's mentor and main producer for his teenage years. He actually gave 'Stevie Wonder' his name.
This song wraps itself around your heart and takes you through so many emotions by the time it's over you want to change the world and make it a better place. Amazing.
@HipHopHermit3000 C'mon bro how is it that you put stevie's name on the same page as justin beaver? That is just pure disrespect to stevie man. Maybe you need to go and listen to justin beaver.
I wouldnt normally hate, but why mention justin beeder you stupid fckn blert. stevie wonder doing bob dylan and i see a fuuucking reference to bee ber who ever the f u ck he is, on every youtube video, you make a point but for f uck sake
I wouldnt normally hate, but why mention justin beeder you stupid fckn blert. stevie wonder doing bob dylan and i see a fuuucking reference to bee ber who ever the f u ck he is, on every youtube video, you make a point but for f uck sake
@dot9miricle this song take me back to days of having nothing and yet a having everything at the same time, it was a time when music really ment something. and to this day when i'm down it lifts me upl
@babyboo2146 Thanks Babyboo but Bob's version lacks emotion in my view. Have another listen to Stevis, the way he hums in the intro, the way he shouts it out, whereas Bob's is very mono-tone.
This is the original "Sweet Soul Music" sound. I have this on the original 45 and it is so beat up, a chip off it at the edge, but it still plays complete and sounds good.
I can't get enough of it either!
It's too bad on this offering you can't hear the guy in the background 'cause his deep "soulsy" voice adds to it greatly.
