  • WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  • Whoaa. Didn't know Stevie wrote this dopea** song

  • When did he perform this?

  • I realized as a 10 year old in 1978 just how great Michael Jackson was...I was floored when I heard this on the "Off The Wall" album...My favorite MJ song along with "Whatever Happens," "Human Nature," "Earth Song," "Liberian Girl," "All I Do"...I can't stop there are so many...

  • Excellent version of this song. Of course it had to be redone by the author of this tune Stevie Wonder!!

  • This sounds like Stevie's voice was having a tough day and still he doesn't fail to be remarkable.

  • IT IS DANGEROUS TO PUT MICHAEL JACKSON ,STEVIE AND QUENCY JONES N THE SAME ROOM YOU END UP WIT MASTERPIECES,THIS IS MY FAVORATE BY FAR FROM MICHAEL EVEN THO ITS NOT AS WELL KNOWN AS BEAT IT OR BILLIE JEAN

  • steveland is the best do u know?

  • sry but i like mj'S version much more dudes..

  • @gigihitman I have the video to this performance,& I must tell you that Stevie Wonder was sick with a cold that evening & he struggle throughout that entire evening. I heard that there is a recording of "I Can't Help It" from the late 70s that my idol(Stevie Wonder) has recorded. This rare,recorded version that Stevie did in the 70s,is supposed 2 be soooo bad,that it puts Michael's version 2 shame!

  • @mrinnervisionz stop trying to compare them. they are both amazing artists.

  • @mrinnervisionz keep dreaming..put mj to shame. when has that ever been done. smh

  • Well said, lumbia 33. They have that something special that comes from the soul

  • this is great!!!!

  • Please reupload in a better quality!

  • Ooooooo Wheeeeeeee

  • atcualy stevie wonder wrote this song for micheal jacksons of the wall album

  • THIS IS SUPERB!

  • i wish there was backing for this version .. love the jazz

  • This is my first time hearing Stevie sing this song. Thank you for uploading it, it's spectacular!!!

  • Amazing - where was this recorded and can i get it anywhere?

  • @weareredalert I would LOVE to have Stevie's version of this on CD too! Or better yet if there's a version of both MJ & Stevie...WOOHOO! lol! :)

  • i agree tefinhu

  • Thank you for posting this Amazing Song!

  • Did yall happen 2 catch the little snippet of this song Stevie Wonder performed at Michael Jackson's funeral,he put a gospel touch to it that was sick! Stevie Wonder is a Godlike Entity who's music is cosmic. I idolize Stevie Wonder & Rick James 4ever! r.i.p. Michael Jackson & Rick James. Happy (upcoming) Birthday Steveland Morris aka STEVIE WONDER.

  • now im curious of how this would of sounded if Micheal sung it just like Stevie is singing it now would of been classic anyway they sung it lol

  • I love you Stevie & Michael. (L')

  • I love you Stevie! I new this was a stevie wonder tune,before I checked the credits on the Michael Jackson"off the wall"recordings..

  • I lioke that Stevie gave this song to Mikey......I didn't know until I got the cd that Stevie wrote this fo MJ>>>AMAZING!

  • Now i have to say that this does sound wonderful but I cant help it song by Michael is my fav song ever!!! And nobody does it like Mike but Stevie is as good as it gets! REST IN PEACE MIKE!!! WE LOVE YA!!!!

  • The Baddest of the baddest...Smooth rhythyms...Quincyesce vibes...Cool above ice...Oh So Nice..Do it stevie......You can't help it...You're BAADDDD!!!

  • i love Stevie but michael jackson version is much better no one can top michael jackson a true music genius and the greatest entertainer of all times

  • @ahmed19891 Stevie wrote this for my lovely restin in peace MJ.....I MISS U MIKE!!!! I LUV U!

  • @ahmed19891 I have Stevie Wonder singing this on vhs, this is from a special honoring Quincy Jones. Stevie was actually very sick with a cold the night he sung this,thats why he sounds like this. 1 day I might put it on youtube,so you all can see & hear it with video. Supposedly Stevie has a demo or recording of "I Can't Help It" that will blow Michael Jackson's version out the water. I wish somebody would find it & post it on youtube. Anyway MJ'S version is hella tight

  • Definitely a Stevie song, but you can tell Quincy was all over it on this performance listen to those flutes. Beautiful

  • Anyone else notice that when Stevie does that higher singing towards the end, he kinda sounds like he did when he was a kid? This is an awesome cover. I know Stevie wrote it, and it has an obvious Stevie vibe to it, but it's still Mike's song in my eyes, so I consider it a cover. Either way, it's good stuff!

  • Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder The best Singers

  • the two greatest artists on the whole planet...

  • yeah!

  • i luv dis song from off the wall. i knew stevie wrote it. bc it has a stevie vibe

  • Stevie Wonder is such an amazing talent always has been always will be! I love Michael's version of this song. Man I'm so sad Michael is gone, R.I.P. love you always. xoxo

  • thank you stevie for writing such an amazing song and allowing michael to sing such wonderful melodies!!

  • I would love to know where I can buy this live version from, this is crazy hot

  • I have been wanting to hear this for a long time. Thanks!!!

  • Both genious, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. Thanks Susaye Greene for the collaboration to. And Quincy just completes the dream team. WHAT A SONG!

  • Michael Jackson (Y)

    Stevie Wonder (Y)

    Legends...

  • I still love Michael's version better, not to discredit Stevie. I think Stevie is brilliant!

  • Stevie's voice has changed,but the arrangements for Michael version are signed stevie wonder.

  • All these years I've been hearing this very song performed by both Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and have never put 2 and 2 together. lol

    I guess it just goes to show how real artists can truly make a song their own, by making you believe that their version is the only version out there. And yes, I know now that Stevie wrote it and Michael recorded it for his Off The Wall album. Both amazing talents! R.I.P. MJ ♥♫♪

  • There's a great version of this from a 1979 concert that i have... Maybe slightly superior even! STEVIE!!!! I wish he would unload his vaults on us!

  • Oh I know, just imagine the wealth of beautiful music he has in his vault!!!!

  • wow -- beautiful!

  • smooth as butter

  • I've been waiting for ages to hear his version of this wonderful song!

    HAPPY STEVIE DAY, everybody!!!

  • Superb.

  • Im sure that Stevie recorded his version of this song in the studio back in the day!!!

  • I wish stevie could have sang this in the 80's when he was more in his "prime" no disrespect to him now but you know as you get older your voice isn't as on point..ya i would do anything to hear his demo of this!
