Mr. Wonder is singing from his heart and soul! I can feel it too.....

[Ma24rina]

This song totally holds up~Stevie just knocks me out with this and "Living for the City."

[WilsonVanGarneau]

Great great song! The Beach Boys did a very cool version of this song, too.

[525Candycane]

i was 10 years old when i told my dad i liked this song and he was surprised because this was the year 2002; long lives the legend

[indiepoos]

ahhh real music, I was in a car and forced to listen to modern music earlier today. I almost died :(

[canonballbaker]

Whenever I hear this song, I think of my beloved Kathryn :-)

[rickribz1]

[TheHeavensSpear]

I remember falling in love with this song one summer riding my bike at my aunt's family reunion! One of the greatest songs ever made...

I miss singing it..my aunt would get me to sing it out in her yard for her friends..but I wouldnt know they were listening.She was the only person who could make me talk much less sing back then.I miss her so.. Thank you for posting it.

innocent time...didnt have any clue how deep the story of this song was until later in life.

[misskoool]

one of my fave songs of his!!

[bluenile048]

JAMERSON IS WALKING THA BASS

[Rest1nOnePiece]

Hallo ppl, greedings from Greece. I discovered Stevie three years ago, and I'm addicted to him, especially to this kind of his songs. Could someone tell me where can i download the songs that johniewalker has uploaded with the same picture (''i was made to love her'', 1967)? Is that the exact title of this disc?

[darrell60302]

I was 12 when this came out.

[jhonezcronic]

@darrell60302 i was minus 12 hahahaaaha when this came out

[railman01]

The greatest vocal performance ever of the finest Motown record of them all. Never bettered.

[grizzlyfan41]

It sounds like Mr. Wonder is singing from personal experience.....awesome!

[drwhatson]

@grizzlyfan41 He WAS "singing from personal experience" - The song is supposedly about his first love!

[pdaw6313]

Amazing!! Love Stevie Wonder and his God given talent!! WOW!! Jamerson too!!!!

[00roastedlampost00]

This is the best chord progression ever, no question. It just goes round and round :)

[markywill72]

LOL IT WAS SUZIE WHO WAS IN PIGTAILS!! XX

[Chicago10281]

Released in May 1967 as Tamla(Motown)54151

[pellaifrompisa]

jamerson is barely god

[nickdahusalah]

stevie is one of the greatest singers and writers in his time he has the kind of music you can feel in your soul.

[kathyssisterable]

أنا كان صنع الحب لكم، حسين

[lovelizabeth57]

I was made to love her, does it get any deeper or better writing than this? Oh the feeling just pour out of you because the feelings go deep for a love like that and, the way it is put together in this song no one in this generation will no the goodness of oldies like this unless there Grandparent play and I mean all the time because it is priceless.

[whately47]

Hmmm Hmmm Hmmmm 1967........what a year for music.

[Panamaschild]

Why can't songs be more like this today? Most of these Motown songs from back in the day were 3 minutes or under, but they were to the point and great songs! Now you have slop that's 4-5 minutes long and I can't take 30 seconds of it (smh)

[drwhatson]

@Panamaschild  Absolutely! LOL

[taratova]

Damn, When this song came on with this song, you know I ran to the radio to turn it all the way up. Stevie filled the neighborhood with song!!

[mastert58]

This tune tacks me back to the summer of 1967 Detroit riot.

[leonardj6472]

sweet jam

[lotty506]

I love this song and this was his signature piece.

[lannes2000]

the guitar has always had me on this song

[biggsydaboss]

anyone know anymore james jamerson bass rifts

[johnniewalker23]

Have you checked out Stevie's For Once In My Life?

[Jackts9999]

@biggsydaboss He played an awesome bass line in a Jackson's 5 tune, Darling Dear

[gabe46329]

@biggsydaboss bernadette-four tops darling dear-jackson five and i want you back-jackson five are some to get you started.

[LadyZariya]

@biggsydaboss

Buy 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown', it's a book filled with James Jamerson bass stuff =) My bass teacher has it, we did this song yesterday, it's great!

[jsilence418]

@biggsydaboss Standing in the shadows of Motown is excellent! ,a must have !

[MrKenndawg]

@biggsydaboss Yes sir. Marvin's complete What's going on alblum. And there's a video of Jameson performing the song with his bass line so at ease that he dose'nt even look like he's playing-one of the greatest bass lines ever played on wax. A must for African American music fans.

[mierecords]

amazing song - timeless

[mmadttog]

Real simple----One of the greatest songs ever!!!!!

[JGreer313]

Dont you know I was made to love her

Build my world all around her.

[WhiteLightnin3]

Stevie is such a great singer. James Jamerson is one of the most influential bassists to ever walk the earth. He influenced the greats like Jaco, Geddy Lee, John Paul Jones and many many more. The Grandfather of the electric bass.

[420gma]

This song is eternal !!

[francys9]

True

[motowninvestor]

Still good.

[ram25ram25]

never gets old

[JosephNScott]

Slutsky wrote in '95 that "IWMTLH" must have been recorded in '66 or '67, i.e. as of then he didn't think he knew what date it was recorded. But in '00 he wrote that he had received copies of CK's handwritten logs from the '60s 13 years earlier (i.e. 8 years before 1995), and that on "hits she claims to have played on, Carol's log always was at odds" re the dates. ("Always.") Hmmmm, that raises the interesting question, When did Slutsky begin believing he knew what date "IWMTLH" was recorded?

[Blackmace]

that bass is so cold. James Jamerson is the shit

[UrbanUnderground]

@Blackmace I think this was actually Michael Henderson (The you are my starship guy-He used to also play bass for Miles ).. But TRUE Jamerson was the shizzzle.. ...

[alxparas1]

@Blackmace like said it is!IN YOUR MOUTH!!!XA!

[alxparas1]

@BlackmaceSUPPOSE YOU WOULD BE THE ONE STEVIE CHOOSE FOR BASS?DONT THINK SO, YOU COULDNT PICK A STRING EVEN IF IT HIT YOU!

G STRING MAYBE?

[Keypinitreel]

You can really feel the grit and turbelence of those times pushing through this track. This has civil rights era written all over it... It subtly hints..."(America)...I was made to love her (in the midst of all that was going on)"... deep.

[tropicalpancake56]

Nothin' like it, Johnnie...thanks so much...

[77doriella]

Great bass playing from the one and only James Jamerson. Timeless.

[jzzlvrmee]

I agree....Get the soundtrack "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" to hear isolated, it is a revelation....I never realized how influential he was on bass.

[MissBronx67]

SANG BOY !!!!

[JJJZANESVILLE2]

It is a wonder....in a blind guy who blew it true. Time will tell.

[Roadsidepictures]

This brings back so many good memories for me!

[XBay122]

It's almost as if he invented the Harmonica.

No one plays it like Stevie.

[am9224]

Do you remember Disney's DTV version with Johnnie Fedora & Alice Bluebonnet from Make Mine Music?

[irishmoose13]

The man could sing AND write some catchy songs,

[johnniewalker23]

yeah, just a few ;)
