Stevie Wonder - As If You Read My Mind

[SuperGamer87]

Get the album--that sudden transition from the last song into this song is priceless.

[utuberudeboob]

Drummer kicks butt. No, it's not Stevie. Great album, many songs of which, including this one and "All I Do" got ZERO airplay.

[sctwnd74]

@utuberudeboob actually stevie is the origonator of this song.

[61kingsize]

he can,t see with his eyes but he feels with his soul!

[61kingsize]

he is a real professional!

[CARLCOACH]

Indeed bought this as a 19 year old and wore out the grooves and carpet!!

[lorenzodifaenza]

Si dieu existe et qu'il a une voix, c'est la sienne qu'il a choisi!

[Bassically68]

I kinda like the live version better. It's gotta some insane percussion in it.

[11kful]

Hotter than July....turn on the hydrant & cool off to this

[sensationalWun]

the best songs from this album you'd think have more views...this song is just brilliant!

[MrLivingparadox]

Use your wildest imagination

You just tell me what it is and I will make it be

[tonniesola]

Played this song (and the album) to death back in the day - but no longer have a vinyl player... :-(

Will get on CD, iTunes - however I get it

[PumaDown]

This is something you play at night when you're about to get on the Express Way and do about 75-80mph!

[nestlesmoke]

@PumaDown i think that EVERYTIME i hear this song lol. so funny you said that hahaha... love stevie!

[shortandstylish]

THE DUKE ... *bows* Real, relevant, true music! Love it!

[Screamingdk]

have you heard Hendrix and Stevie together?

[maagemj]

That harmonica solo is hotter that July.

[Pull63cat]

@maagemj Amen to that! :-)

[mahashakti999]

HOTTER THAN JULY

[vinan23]

I love this song by Stevie and the late great Syreeta!!!!

[EddieRamon]

what people don't know is that stevie plays drums on all the songs too!!!

[BLUEGRASSJAMMIN]

STEVITO DONT NEED YOUR CORRESPONDENCE SCORPION sCUM

[vstarr89]

3 people are officially INSANE!!!

[majikmyles]

I am totally in love with the vibe of this song!!!!!!!! Real funky!

[Teardehawkee]

This was my Bike Messenger Music.

You COULDN'T slow down.

Kept on peddling!

Pure Magic!

[ph4nt0mf1ng3rs]

Stevie Wonder should've been Governor instead of Arnold. He'd do better.

[Nachoking80]

The transition from one song to the next is one of the joys of listening to music from the "album-era" vs. the current era where the emphasis in on "singles". If you only listen to you tube or download--consider recording a whole CD/Album of Stevie Wonder's or others from the R&B heyday---a pleasure.

[timmy841212]

Another classic with vocals shared between Stevie & Syreeta. :)

[SupernalOne]

what is it Wonder is doing when he modulates through those chord progressions? Diatonic scales, suspended 9ths, multiple modalities? Somebody with a jazz education please describe SW's compositions, for pop music they're completely revolutionary, a totally new sound - back in the day when Black was Beautiful, Wonder was the court composer -

[Tonylionni]

Biggest musical influence period.......

[deepkeel65]

Those chord progressions!!!

[olanchazul]

you should reaaaally check the version of this song on the DVD "live at last", its even better... and ur right he's Sir Stevie Wonder!!

[MrSmotherYaMother]

Damnnnnnnnnnnn no words just dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn­

[dereknolan1]

remember buying this album as teenager still class today

[hausmeister64]

this is quit revolutionar the main choirds sound like house chords from 90's

[berlynn2]

wheres hotter than july at?

[SuddenSparkles]

Master. Best Victrola record. Classical radio program, symphony. I dare you to beat Stevie.

[1Reasonabledoubt2]

can you say mean harmonica or what?

[nadia59]

this is one of his best cd i love it.

[anxcd]

I agree with you. Love it!

[spideymayne]

This album is flawless

[zeelove8]

[brendonkas]

[heyfinger71]

Amazing Awesome Fantastic Stevie Wonder wooooh! Hot man damn Love the Album always will be your Greatest "For Sure" love you always Xo :)

[SuddenSparkles]

I am just discovering this albuM. I'm familiar with a lot of stevie music but this is my first foray into this album and I'm stunned. I find it, like the albums I am more familiar with of his, completely stunning. I spent so many years in academia that I have forgotten to enjoy music... what a big mistake. I'm catching up to life now it seems... Good God this man has me on fire... superholyfreakfunk

[spideymayne]

I envy that. I wish I could hear this for the first time again. lol

[1Reasonabledoubt2]

Can't give enough thumbs up... My goodness

[SuddenSparkles]

gracious... thump thump thump

[inappropriategiggle]

@SuddenSparkles

lol

[KrfNYC2]

@SuddenSparkles Yeah,"All I Do" and "Lately" are both brilliant.

[BLUEGRASSJAMMIN]

@SuddenSparkles DID U MEAN ALBUm?

[BLUEGRASSJAMMIN]

@SuddenSparkles DID U MEAN ALBUm? or your a BUm? how about a mOTHA FUCKAh? or a dUm sHIT, ? OR A sICK AssBITCh?

[SuddenSparkles]

@BLUEGRASSJAMMIN HEY BROTHER, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? your site seems to indicate you have a desire for forgiveness and reconciliation and you have obviously a gift for something other than that. Think a little... was it worth it for you? I'm sorry if what I wrote somehow offended your sensibilities... however, TOUGH.

[TheAffrican]

@SuddenSparkles music is the life of happyness if u recall the angles in heaven job was 2 sing 2 the lord so listen to the good music 2 confort the soul

[WilmaBridget]

this album is just smooth amazement. I love Stevie Wonder.

[gabe25591]

SO FECKING FUNKY it's actually painful

[CavalierMoneyLeague]

[motowninvestor]

STEVIE WONDER: THE MOVIE!!!

[BlueSigma]

seriously can't a man get a movie before he dies god damn it

[bant15]

for real. Definitely one of the bests ever.

[kingdomfireguy247]

the jacksns did

[Elusive25]

8 years old and I had this album

[MeMee728]

are the very first words that he heard

coming from mee

[SerafinaDunja]

I think of you all the time ....

[NoginLogin]

To be honest I think Stevie Wonder should be could Sir. Stevie Wonder.

[MarkoSogz]

to lot of people he is wayyyy more than Sir...hes Stevie Wonder. God bless.

[faaabulous95]

@NoginLogin yeah so do i, but he's american - they can't be knighted

[maxyouallday]

@NoginLogin 

[fucu41]

@NoginLogin -I like da way u think

[PollyHarrison]

@NoginLogin I agree - but you have to be British to get knighted (become a Sir)

[dbastard1977]

@PollyHarrison You're partly correct, you can also be a citizen of Commonwealth country as well. In the Caribbean we have knighted individuals and we're certainly not British.

[PollyHarrison]

@dbastard1977 That would make sense - I recall some Indian names with a Sir now.

[agamemnon1]

@NoginLogin He would be if he were a citizen of the UK.

Him and Elton John...

[FutureAbe]

@NoginLogin too bad hes not british ):

[zaodizao]

@NoginLogin

Absolutely !



[NoginLogin]

It's the first time I've listen to this and well... IT'S BRILLIANT!

[best11228]

Let's Get High On The Happy ~

\With A Toast To You & Me :)

Love Is Here Just For The Givin.....

And Between Us We've Got All The LOVE We'll Ever Need!!! ::yes:: as if u read my mind

[RhythmBluesSoul1]

Man this is such an amazing track. The version on the "Live At Last" DVD is amazing too with the sax solo.

Stevie is such a genius.

[virgopowers]

It is Awesome on the CD - RhythmBluesSoul1

I enjoy his Live CD so much and this song didn't jump at me until then!

[wibeseeker]

what a tune!

[sam0xin]

Ս տ ի վ ի Armenia Loves You !

LOVE THIS ALBUM since 1980 ! Still LOVE ! WILL LOVE until my last minute of living in this dimension of life ! ! !

STEVIE WE LOVE YOU !

[louloublu03]

sheer brilliance- Mr Stevie Wonder is a genius and has set himself upon another level of 'musical artist' no other comparison is out there and i doubt will ever be. His songs have a story to tell, every one of his tracks are different and take you to a different dimension. He rocks!!It's happy music and has the knack of influencing you in a positive way- just how it should be.Love you stevie!!

[zeelove8]

Steve W, is the magic man, his joints are soooooooooooooooooo awsome,

(its as if he read my mind) LOL, yes, i love it!!!!!!!!:D

[novembertalespinner]

Stevie Wonder is nothing but talent! I haven't heard this song in a long time but it still sounds!

Thanks for posting this!

[johnpizarelli89]

does anyone know the chords for this awesomesong?!

Thanks,

A Troubled guitarist

[koolzainski]

pure deeeeeepness!!!

[Smart0330]

"....lets get high on the happy..." Forreal? Beautiful. Poet extrodinaire!

[islezeus]

I love this... nice House type of feel

[cbmuzik]

you need to hear the remix DJ Spinna does of Stevie's music. All those Detroit cats are killing the industry! Deep House...and Stevie sings on the track...look it up on YouTube. I think it was done in '04 or '06...can't remember

[johnpizarelli89]

Dj Spinna did do a Stevie album called The Wonder of Stevie, i suggest yougetit!

It has all covers of Stevie ranging from artists like jose feliciano, diana ross and the supremes, ray barrettoand minnie ripperton!

[saucychiq]

He rocked the Concord Pavilion on July 8th...

[tonelowk]

Yes he did...I stood the whole time...the only one in my section to do so, its very deep..

[lumbia33]

i know what you mean!!! i had one girl tell me to sit down like 4 times, and of course she stopped asking... i've seen him three times, and stood the whole time for all three... he is the GREATEST ARTIST TO EVERT LIVE...

[nice1dave]

Just saw him tonight at The Hollywood Bowl. What an amazing show - and he opened with this outstanding song. It was such an inspirational show. He played for 2 hours strong! His band was great with little Ricky Minor (American Idol) as his band's conductor. If Stevie comes to your town - don't miss it!

So great! Thank you Stevie for such great music and inspiration!

And yes listen to the lyrics!

[gnsky77]

This THE shit. Funky and listen to the lyrics. The hamonica playing is well...this is talent that other is marketing and having no other alternative. Stevie will be here in Oak Cali July 5th and 8th I am good friends with his cousins and I usually get free tix!! It will be Hotter than July in July...

[thankgodjohn]

You might be in luck, because recently he was in Detroit and opened up with this song!!!!

[isis135]

gnsky77 - How was the concert? I have ALWAYS been a Stevie fan, but I've never seen him in concert & I would love to. Good friends with the fam eh? LOL :) Take care

[gnsky77]

I had to work and could not go, but the next time he is in Vegas I am going. My friends/his cousins live in Vegas and last time he came there I went. His brother Milton left me tickets at the Mandalay Bay-it was cool Prince showed up by surprise!!-you should go to see him I have seen him about 5 times once when he was about 13!! in Detroit when I was a kid-he is great in concert!

[isis135]

I wish he were coming to NYC, I would definitely find the time and money to see him!!!!

[WayOutWesley]

I went to that concert. My wife flew us from arkansas to see him for my birthday present. It was a complete surprise. I've been a Stevie Fan all of my life. Best present I ever had.

[Bartender1986]

damn, i want to play this song on piano so bad. but i don't know the chords.

[zeelove8]

ooooooooooooooooo, i love this song.

[tahlik2]

[brendonkas]
