Well seeing as Stevie wrote this for Syreeta......who he had just split up with.......I think he is a better judge of how good or bad this is............
Stevie Wonder I know has had much respect and plaudits and awards over the years. But really his muisc should be celebrated far more than it is. This is just purely stunning. I must get around to doing a version.....
Heavenly vocals just love this , almost as much as the Jeff Beck instrumental cover, most pieces Jeff Beck covers are very melancholic and have such a rich tone , really amazing and admirable
@periorock Both versions are great. In Jeff cover you can hear the pain in the music. In this version you can hear the pain and the triumph in the music and lyrics at the end. Yes Jeff Beck does roles (?) But this version RULES! :)
@nidiaaw1 You are an idiot who can't spell or write in English. Jeff Beck owns this and has for longer than you've been alive. I had his version when I was 13. Back then no one knew this was by by Stevie. This version is terrible.
@eqsmooth actually if you got this when you were 13 then we're the same age!! And I actually heard this version BEFORE I heard the Beck version. I love them both! You can hear the pain in the Beck COVER but I feel that you can hear even more just because of the lyrics in this version. And this ORIGINAL version is definately more haunting. And why do I have to be an idiot? Why can't we just enjoy good music together and be done with it? I'm sure Jeff and Stevie would sit around arguing about it.
well, after all his time wondering why cause we ended as lovers was one of the most beautiful songs i've listened to. i always listened to jeff beck and had no idea stevie wonder wrote it, now, it makes all the sense in the world why they call steve a prodigy, he is, one DAMN prodigy.
I've heard Jeff Beck's version of this tune, it ROCKED, I heard Gato Barbieri's version of this song, it also ROCKED (I have both versions, I might add), but I am almost embarrassed to confess that I have NEVER heard Stevie Wonder's [original] version until tonight. I almost can't stop playing this tune now! No wonder Jeff Beck's instrumental version nearly tops the original cut. JB hit it note for note, literally!
My favorite track by Syreeta from my favorite album by her. The whole album is a winner, but that isn't a surprise as Stevie Wonder is the producer.

Growing up with the instrumental cover by Jeff Beck, I'm absolutely amazed to discover the original after all this time. Beautiful in every way.
