  • Incredible how this song gives me chills.

  • 10 people have no idea about LIVE

  • Dont think I've ever heard this before... wow... love it....smh

  • Awesome song.  Gives me goosebumps every time!

  • Im 16 and i love this song soo much

  • @walburga1956 Stevie Wonder was 16 when he wrote this!

  • @feckyoo2 Fuckin'yeh.

  • i just feel blessed only by beeing able to listen to his wonderfull voice and this song

  • Wow... thanks for posting this one. It's a one-two punch to the gut, just like so many of Stevie's songs. I just noticed something about this song- there's a click at 1:17, and I think that was an edit on the vocals. They punched it in at that point. All these years, I had never heard it before. Not taking anything away from Stevie, it just blows me away that it took me most of my life to finally hear this!

  • Hi Johnnie! Always loved this album....thank you for your great posts!

    John

  • King <3

  • its crazy to feel like this and you know theres nothing you can do about it

  • @ nustria 1

    AMEN !!!

  • The Master!!!!!!!!

  • Excellent, timeless, relevant.

  • I fell for what i thought was love 12 years ago,this tune depicts my relationship with her, she cheated behind my back again and again, as the lyrics say, turned out very sour, met the right girl now, we share this music, very happy.

    He almost sees what your thinking, makes me feel punative listening to his talent.

    I bow my head to this man

  • Some are just deaf to his sheer talent!

  • stevies best song

  • now it's funny how 10 ppl dislike this song when really those 10 can relate so much to these words this man speaks on the mic, ppl who hate need to listen to the music for what it is and not listen to it for what ever you can get out of the song just listen to it and all beautiful and true words and music genius

  • Simply beautiful!!!

  • I can listen to this over and over and over again.

  • ITS TIMELESS FOREVER!

  • Take a bow

  • Nobody comes close to his level of music, pity music isn't made like this anymore, guess times change.

  • Some people just can't HEAR!

  • WOW!

  • MIGHTY MOTOWN...........

  • This has to be my favorite song by Stevie.

  • I listen to this almost once every day.

  • There's 10 musical idiots out there somewhere; fantastic song.

  • STEVIE LEAVE THAT HO IF SHE MAKING YOU CRY AND LOSE YOUR MIND!

  • This tune has been killing me for as long as I can remember!

  • i have the 45 on the Tamla label

  • INCREDIBLE vocal performance, and awesome song, probably my very favourite song Stevei ever has done!

  • this is new to me and what a find the emotion involved is genius. feel like doing a remix to appeal to the youngers but to add new age to such masterpiece would be wrong yet it might get some to seek the original and that cant be wrong

  • masterpiece

  • 10 person dont know why they hate you

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • NOBODY did it better. The whole production.

    The bass chords, the powerful horns, the haunting strings.

    And I remember it being aired in PR at the time.

    I still have the 45 on the tamla label!

    I played it so much, that I could hear My Cherie Amour on the flip side.

  • just gives me goose bumps .

  • Brand New Heavies have the best remake of this song. Listen to their version on Youtube.

  • @Shagmelon Holy shit you rock dude!

  • michael jackson sings the heck out of this too

  • the jackson 5 later covered that song on their ABC album

  • no i would never waste my time listening to fantasia when i have stevie here what a dumb comment lol.

  • I luv this song but the only reason I dont like it is because I can relate to it, Does that sound stupid to hate it and love it at the same time????? BUT YAW NEED TO HEAR FANTASIA HIT THIS JOINT LAWD LAWD LAWD TAT GURL GOT SOME LUNGS ON HER!!!!!!!!!

  • i think this is his best song. its just mindblowingly good

  • Interesting that the album cover doesn't even mention My Cherie Amour as I was told this was the B-side. Yes the J5 did an excellent cover, Motown shared their songs amongst their artists. Whose is better is moot & preference. The songwriter gets the lion's share of the profits after the record company takes theirs off the top, so REGARDLESS of who covers the song, Stevie Wonder gets a little bit richer every time someone's cover does well, so HE'S not complaining!

  • @IrisMG Yeah really, this and the J5's cover are both fanatstic records. When you listen to both versions you can really hear the power,passion and emotion by Stevie and Mike, it makes you appreciate them even more for it.

  • The Ultimate stevie tune , 1 criticism is too damn short...

  • smh at the comment below me.

  • Great song! I Love Stevie. Fantasia's cover of this song is on FIRE!!

  • Stevie has a way of writing a song that by just listening to a few bars, you're ready to bursts into tears...

  • damn! stevie and little michael jackson's voice make this song magical!!!

  • I still don't know why PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD but I love you!!! and I cry for you to know my GOD and hear my voice in the wind telling you how sweet his love is for you, Amen!!! my tears...O' Lord...my TEARS!!!

  • OOhhhh ...just ..so ..just syrup in my ears ....hhhmmmm

  • Great Track By the Man Stevie :)

  • Inspired singer

  • they dont make music like this anymore, im saying this and im 12

  • N'Dea Davenport did the best remake of this.

  • @shwndh

    Michael Jackson's version is pretty special too :)

  • Can't nobody write the lyrics like Stevie Wonder Put some funk on that music

  • Can no body write the lyrics like Stevie Wonder

  • Written when Stevie Wonder was only 18 years old.

    Think about that for a minute. What were you doing at 18? I know I wasn't doing much - much less than writing classics like this genius was.

  • Wow, what emotion. He seriously meant this!

  • i don't know why (AKA WHY DO GIRLS PLAY HARD TO GET?????) DEDICATED FOR YOU, ROSSY!!

  • Quality lasts .Wonderful music .

  • As a Stones fan, I've got to that this one's bettter. And the Rolling Stones' version was a piece of brilliance. So there you have it. : D

  • I don't why... I love yooooou!

  • 8 idiots don't  know why ...

  • 8 people actually have no soul.

  • @glimpus YEAH.

  • People be sure to check out The Rolling Stones' cover of this song.It smokes as well, albeit in a grittier kind of way

  • seriously...One of the best songs I have ever heard in my entire life

  • Thank you for this music!

  • I LOVE Motown and I'm only 28. Stevie is one of my favs.

  • Such a very long time since I last heard this utterly amazing track...just listen to Stevies voice. He isn't just singing...he is actually feeling the lyrics...thanks for posting

  • Brand new Heavies ft N'Deah Davenport did an awesome tribute....but there is only one Stevie Wonder! Classic!

  • cold sing it stevie

  • here here hear

  • n u can fo

  • incredible mic placement

  • incred mic-ing

  • Love how poppy and upbeat the guitar sounds at the start contrasted by the angst and crying out of Stevie's voice. Gives me chills every time.

  • thank you man for all this gold.

  • song captivates the best of so many worlds/ the pain/ the love/ and the question of wondering why....

  • I don't know why eight people dislike this song

  • One of Stevie's greatest - love, anger, desperation...

  • anyone who been in love will enjoy as hurt listening to this song

  • An Amazing song sang by an amazing artist!

  • 8 dislikes??!!.Stupid idiots.

  • @macriff72...being raised on x factor and being tone deaf along with no soul etc etc doesnt give you the right to call anyone a.a.a....thinking about yes your right..sorry i was thinking a little love and understanding maybe would have been more kind but......thanks for posting this great stevie track johnnie

  • @macriff72 they don't know any better.....

  • Damn, this shit made me cry.

  • I can't get enough of this song dam!! =D hah ill tell ya im 17 years old and so wud most of my mates i show them this and they're not interested......they say its "okay" and to be honest i cant blame em the music has changed so much and humanity along with it =]

    C-Jay

  • I Don't Why I Love This Song!

  • dude i am speechless, wow thanks alot. this is a true love song

  • Such a gem! Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand every time i hear it!

  • stevies soooooo bad! i love all his shit boi ;)

  • @astroboirap Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley are my favorite artists of all time. But I agree with you on this one. Hey, it happens sometimes. A remake sometimes tops the original, but without the original, there would be no remake. Big props to Stevie and rest in peace MJ.

  • mate you're the best... I thank you so much for letting us into your music too much man!

  • Classic really old Stevie...it didnt et better back then them older days.

  • shoooo nuffff

  • Awesome song, but i think the stones version is the best

  • @flobsterlobster I'm inclined to agree with that. The Stones version of this is incredible.

  • jay z said it best "if your not feeling me fine it cost you nothing pay me no mind" this is to those complaining about the 8 dislikes. who cares

  • They should take out the dislike button for all Stevie Wonder songs so incompetent idiots have no way of disliking them. Stevie Wonder is a musical wonder:)

  • 8 people are Soulja Boy fans.

  • @kingofrnb dumb comment.

  • @RAAB0601 Who are you to decide what's dumb?

  • @kingofrnb soulja boy has nothing to do with this video. if someone didnt like the video that doesnt mean they like soulja boy lol. people that like soulja boy probably dont even know who stevie is. im sry im jus sick of those comments insulting the people who pressed dislike. who cares

  • @RAAB0601 It's obviously a joke among people who like Stevie's music and also recognize lame artists such as Soulja Boy. Obviously you care if you had a problem with the comment. You're the only one taking it seriously here.

  • ABSOLUTLY LOVE STEVIE

    haven't heard 1 song i dnt like by him

  • The REAL king of Motown and rock music...sorry, your loss Elvis fans.

  • Eight people need to get their heads out of their asses. 

  • @glowfilmsau

    i feel you!

  • First time I heard this song, I almost cried. So much emotion in this song, man!

  • Stevie Wonder = Legend

  • This song is the story of my life :( I'm in love with the wrong person. Wish i didnt love them

  • @MsDimplecheeks aww *hug I know how that is. :)

  • @lotroinsomnia :) thanx

  • Stevie Wonder - Don't Know Why I Love You

    I love this song =)

  • GREAT AWESOME SONG !!!!!!!!!

  • All I can say is 'what a song' See....something good came out of 1968.

  • @whately47 Not a fan of the white album?

  • Gp Stevie.......

  • This is the ultimate love song, everyone that's ever been in love knows you put yourself in the most vulnerable of circumstances, mostly to no avail but you still stay. It's void of any sense  of comprehension and this song completely encapsulates the madness of it. The very fact he attempts to ration it leads to frustration and anger. Yet the resounding thought is even when stacked up against the wall of logical evidence to the contrary, he's still in love. And that's all that matters. Genius!!

  • thanks so much for these videos johnnie walker twenty three.

    every stevie video i watch i see your name lol

  • @ilubbtosingg lol...you're quite welcome :)

  • @ilubbtosingg Here here!

  • @ilubbtosingg Here here

  • love it!

  • Describes my true fresh feelings so good... Thank you Steve.

  • Makes me mad, feel sad and boogie all at once. Genius!

  • Possibly my favourite Stevie song. However, it always depends on ones mood. This is why Stevie is my favourite artist, he has a song for every mood. :)

  • Timeless

  • oh, ok thank you! wow 28 likes lol

  • Wait a minute....This is one of the best songs Ive ever heard in my life

  • Holy crap this is amazing!!

  • man, man, man, they dont do it like that anymore, awesome tune!!!!!!!!

  • I like the Jackson 5's too

    This one is awesome too

    The Jackson 5 got alot of songs from stevie wonder

  • Stevie was as big as Justin Bieber is today.

  • @428sj But with actual talent? No offence to Biebs, I like the kid. But don't compare him to Stevie ;)

  • @428sj but stevie had talent, not pr machine and superstage mother like bieber

  • did this get played on the radio back in the day?

  • @thekid09406 Yes, It was a Huge Hit.

  • @428sj Thanks! Love this song! Was wondering if it got radio play because it's a little dark.

  • @thekid09406

    It sure did in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

    It was the hit, while My Cherie Amour was the B side.

  • so old... but this is soooooo epic

  • One of my favourite SW songs. ILY Stevie

  • Stevie, I had never heard this song until a couple of months ago but Stevie never disappoints thats why I love him so much. Stevie sings it, I feel it ....every word of it is the truth!! Going out to the current BF - YOU are every word in this song!!

  • could u email the download link for this song please??

  • I don't care about any other version of this joint!!! This song really hit me hard when i first heard the 45 as a kid.

  • This man never seizes to amaze me with his great music. I keep discovering great songs.

  • lol@ alexandermahan. Sorry you had to go through that. I feel you though.

  • Wow, intro sounds a bit like 'I Am The Walrus'

  • @edbingey that beales song? yeah, thought that, too :)

  • love this song... <3

  • Michael Jackson has the best version of this song

  • @1980Triumph ,come on bro this is defination of pure soul and passion and has got the lot ....mjs version is great aswell but so is jill scotts this tune never fails every time i hear it and is one of the greatest moments in soul history 30 years later it still reduces people to tears a truly great song.....peace up

  • @1980Triumph We'll have to agree to disagree, as much as I love MJ, this version is the absolute best.

  • If you would , let's see if we can find a personal meaning. That's to those to whom we can say[It's personal] Starting from there A: big Stevie fan me. B: he's very insightful. Could not connect any more than that to another thoughts on the living and loving situation. You are the man

  • :)!

  • wow this is the best version ive heard from this song yet

  • Happy 60th Birthday, Stevie!

  • PURE GENIUS!
