  • LIVING LEGEND!!!

  • Mr Stevie Wonder. Nathan Watts on Bass. Now there's a friendship that might last a few years. Well folks, I fell into this grove the first time I heard it 30 years ago, and I'm truly nowhere near to finding my way out - even now. 'Play it'

  • THE 15 PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE THIS SHOULD BE NUKED!

  • Stevie is a fucking genius.

  • スティーヴィーの中ではこれが一番大好き。

  • So this is the song where Ja Rule sampled for his song " Living it up".....

  • @pillow105 yes it is

  • IM ONLY 15 AND MY GOD THIS IS MUSIC stevie would sound CRAP with autotune THATS WHY HE IS AWESOME

  • Do I Do is My favourite Stevie Tune of all time, second place is for once in my life, third place is Sir Duke ( of which I think is an earlier influence for Do I Do..)

  • OMG!!!!! I absolutely love little Stevie!!!!!!!!!! Im his biggest fan ever.

  • DO what you do! stevie and You stop, Because We LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fell in love with this song in 1982 and still sounds as fresh as a daisy in 2012!

  • this song is awesome. gotta love it

  • I LOVE THIS SONG, young ppl dont have good taste in music.

  • @mystuff414 no disrespect but im young and i love this song ^^

  • @aznman180 you an old soul babygirl u go!1

  • @mystuff414 not all young people

  • @mystuff414 IM YOUNG 15 TO BE EXACT and this song WOULD TOTALLY KICK THE CRAP MUSIC OF TODAY ON THE ASS

  • 240p, u r welcome!

  • this is one of Stevie's master work pieces that he and other band members of this recording jammed and bounced all around the studio and couldn't stop playing until complete exhaustion took place..the bass lines are increditable!..this is true musicianship is all about creativity.. and the late dizzy G plays on with clean rhythm and jazz soul..enjoy the moment that's timeless in scope.

  • So-so Funkkaaayy YEAHHH!!!!

  • I love this so much. The rhythm the horns the percussion ohhhhhhhhhh! Do you want some candy! Ouch! Put this on when you're driving. Guarantee to put you in a good mood. Finally comes to a slow 8:28 but I want it to go on forever.....the best part is when they all pick it up again...this version cuts it short.

  • @oakenglish They pick it back up?! Man I wanna hear the extra extended version! 9 and a half minutes just ain't enough!

  • WOW!!!THATS MUSIC!!!IT MAKES PARTY ROCK ANTHEM SEEM LIKE A SONG FROM DORA THE EXPLORER!!!

  • that wuz nutz. dude's a genius.

  • I'm 12 years old and this song makes my weiner go up and down :)

  • @dapukejuice your a funny dude but i see where your coming from LOL hahaha im 15 and THIS SONG RULES

  • Who the fuck dislikes this?!!

    Gotta be some of these dumb ass kids today...SMH

  • brings me back to when i was a kid with mum and dad...he is brilliant.

  • as soon as the beat starts you have to start rocking

  • When ever I listen to Stevie I can't stop improvising along with it and going over all the great chords... its like I want to live inside Stevie Wonder land... but I never quite get there... ha ha genius.... the rythm is like solid rocks running through syrup and light comes in and out of the picture... it makes me feel alive and I want to just gig every night!!

  • Man, is any one listening to the bass on this cut? Nathan Watts is a beast on this tune. His basslines are so inventive on a relatively simple chord progression. Hats off to one of the true greats of bass.

  • Man is anyone hearing the basslines on this tune? Its fucking ridiculously difficult to play and I play a lot of bass. He's just full of brilliant ideas on a relatively simple chord progression. Hats off to Nathan Watts, one of the true greats.

  • @jaysauerbass I agree. I've been listening to a number of older songs with good basslines, but this has to be the most awesome bassline I've come across so far.

  • @MeFrom07 Listen to some Larry Graham with Graham Central Station. He was the originator of slap bass. :)

  • @raykneedaze He started with Sly and the Family Stone. ;-)

  • One of the greatest ,but very underrated tunes,Stevie has ever made. Everything fits, the horns do it for me, and what a tear up from 7:30 onwards, then we can relax from sweating dancing ours arses off!

  • wow this song is really something ..................AND I REALLY LOVE IT this song just makes me wanna get up and dance plus a lil bit of sangen yall yungens dont know noen bout that do you

  • He may have been blind, but he saw so much more than us.

  • @macreighton DUDE he is still alive hahahahaha watch your mouth

  • This song never fails to bring me so much joy... and I can't really put my finger on why,,, Stevie Wonder is such an amazing talent.. and this is coming from the younger generation (I'm 25 lol). They say I have an "old soul". I'm so glad, because about 99% of stuff on the radio is garbage. Thank goodness for great musicians like Stevie Wonder...got to appreciate the classics first. and RESPECT them :))))))))))

  • @jerzeeGrind YES!! the wait was so worth it! love that part also =)

  • Talent is Talent regardless of race or gender......

  • @TalkingShitOnYouTub1 YOUR USER NAME IS YOUR PERSONALITY!!!! you talk alot of shit, you are full of hot air FAKE ASS!!!!

  • One of my all time favs. Love Love Love him!! Best concerts I have ever been to! the man is awesome!

  • @TalkingShitOnYouTub1 Beats being blind.

  • I waited the entire song in anticipation for 4:20-5:30 love it!

  • Wel swingend maar een beetje soft..

  • GREAT bass in this song..almost better than sex!

  • This was a great jam back in the day..oh man! Old school R&B is wonderful...!

  • ja rule did this song no justice

  • This is great...!!!!!! I love this man...I've looked long and hard for this song...couldn't find it nowhere...until I checked out youtube.

  • REAL MUSIC!!!!!

  • I'm 14 and this beats most of the crappy music around these days

  • @xbox360fanatic123 Thats because it not around these days 1982 not 2011.....smh

  • @xbox360fanatic123 I so agree! Things have changed so much musically haven't they? I'm 43 and grew up w/this stuff :) Take care and great reply!

  • @xbox360fanatic123 you are very right!

  • @xbox360fanatic123 ...right on my young dude!

  • im dancing my arse off

  • you just better be moving to this jam, or you might be dead already!!

  • As soon I hear this song, I have to stop what I am doign and sing the HOOK... one great voice right here... took music to another level..

  • Stevie's last real hit before I just called to say I jumped the shark piece of unfunky shit that still stinks up the airwaves 25 yrs later. Then if u listen to the overjoyed song those bubbles are his following songs going down the shitter.

  • @luvtotruck i think "Free" is his last great record, although quite honestly i have not listen to any of his last albums of the past 20 years. its amazing how time flies. but i think he had a splendid run. most acts peter out at what maybe three albums? to have a multi decade stellar career is amazing and only a few have the talent and luck for it. . thank goodness none of the usual destructive habits has brung him down. and he handled his money too. altogether i'm very proud of stevie.

  • im 15, and I love hip hop, rap.. jusitn bieber.. all that.. but I grew up learning to appreciate the classic's and honestly the REAL music like this

  • @babycakes435

    i was 12 when this akbom went out . i used to sing that song one my way to school .

  • ...Master Piece

  • 13 people do not do

  • @MrShenron68 : Lol!!

  • I LOVE HIS HIP HOP FREESTYLE AT THE END!!

  • @FreshleySnipes33 Lighten up dude, the comment is not meant to attack deaf people, it's just a figure of speech so relax and don't read too much into things you bubble head!!

  • I saw Stevie in Hyde Park in 2010, he sang this (amongst others) and had 130,000 people on their feet dancing, i ill never forget that.

  • Comment removed

  • who in the fuanua dislikes this track??

  • just a fantastic track

  • Fuck Lego

  • i just realized , that listening to this song without dancing to , is impossible , it's just impossible to stand still .

  • . . . DAMN! I love this! What ever happened to music that just made you feel good? The live instrumentation - Horns, drums, bass guitar. It's addictive, lol.

  • @SexyProfess i know! sweet it is!

  • stevie is a wrk of art and those 13 people can not see or hear beauty

  • comme elle balance cette chanson !!!!!!!!!

    vive la music!!

  • This has Maurice White and Earth Wind and Fire all over it.

  • @D84D

    its nathan watts. he makes this tune bounce!

  • the man can sing.

  • One of my faves from Stevie. Does anyone remember when he performed this song on some award show with and the Brat and she was supposed to do the rap at the end and she messed up. I was so mad at her.

  • Please respect Stevie Wonder's music.

    You didn't give us the last bass solo, this song is incomplete...

    Next time try not to cut songs.

    Thanks

  • @ andrew7021

    What a tool :(

  • Stevie's The Man!

  • DizzyGgillespie used to give Stevie Wonder blowjobs and tell him that it was Ella Fitzgerald doing it.

  • @ShamWasBetter That piece of stupidity, about blowjobs was very inappropiate. This song is very positive and you want to put your negativity into it. What a waste! All I can say is that I'm sorry for you.

    Now you can return to your sex music, heavy metal or whatever turns you on.

  • @ShamWasBetter Dude, you need to be thankful for what you've got, along with how to grow up and not replie such assinine comments! Get a life.

  • I LOVE THE ENDING TO THIS. Call and response thing and the rap to close it all out. I cannot rhyme either.

  • Been lovin´ this musis since I was about five years old... Little girls are the BEST pop/dancemusic- critics, aren´t they... ;-D ? Do I do...? H*ll, yeah!!!

  • i soooo want this song at my wedding!

  • Steveie may be blind, but 12 people are deaf!

  • @backinthedayz1 LOL!

  • @backinthedayz1

    I do not think there is anything wrong with disliking any kind of music.

    I do think that feeling people are defective because they do not agree with your personal musical taste is depressing, very disgusting and highly arrogant.

  • @andrew7021 your an idiot and your comment is pointless, I said that to be sarcastic, put some homor in your life

  • @jwh1999

    and

    @backinthedayz1

    I disagree on both counts. I think I have humor; and that you do too; but you are incorrect if you think what you said was fair. What I said still stands: other people not sharing you taste in music does not mean they have bad taste.

  • @andrew7021 Dude I really don't give a krap!! Sp step off!!!

  • @jwh1999

    OK; neither do I, in fact. I was only replying 2 your reply; a logical response; it was not based on an assumption u cared; I am not interested in that; although, u say u do not, yet u replied 2 my 1st comment i.e. u contradict yourself. It is not very important 2 me though; it was just a whim, 2 make the comments e.g. it is not something which causes me 2 swear and state the other person has a mental problem. Also, I do not know what the 2nd sentence means; I am not cool enough!

  • @backinthedayz1 Well put my friend lol. This might be the best comment I've ever read on here (lol).

  • @backinthedayz1 HA! So true. I can't believe anyone could possibly "dislike" this song. Stevie's "lesser" material is way more enjoyable than most others best work.

  • @backinthedayz1 lolol!!!

  • @backinthedayz1 LOL-witty!

  • @backinthedayz1 LMAO!! Guess these 13+ losers 'DON'T THEIR DO' X-D bwa haa haaaaa

  • @backinthedayz1 ahahahaaha!!! you got that right ! :-)))

  • @backinthedayz1 Quality comment!

  • @backinthedayz1 13 now :)

  • @backinthedayz1 no those people thought he stole this song idea from Ja Rule

  • @backinthedayz1 ...Amen!!!!...
