Stevie Wonder - Light My Fire

[BrownBetty6]

Didnt know Stevie had a version of this song out: The Doors, Jose's and Stevie's are all great! thanks Johnnie Walker!

[ssdivizion]

Such a SUPERB COVER and MUSICAL PEARL is this tune! Many Thanks mr.Stevie!

[itnow]

u can't compare the Doors version with this one or another coz they were not into good music but into entering ur subconscient mind...

else I like Alicia Keys version or Minnie Ripperton's but then it's only music

[MOONST0MP]

Why are people sayin it is better than the original. No way ! Ray Manzerek's Keyboard playin takes some beating. This doesnt come anywhere near!!

[soshanna1]

what a brilliant version better than the original i heard this on radio 2 the other day and thought it was fantastic

[thequietus]

wow I'd never heard this version before...and frankly I like it way more than the original

[greatbighand]

Another great version beside the original and Shirley Bassey's. The harp is a bit lost in the mixing.

[possepresident]

six people dont know what good music is

[ssdivizion]

1:31 is apsolutely awesome,heavenly beautiful music! Bravo,maestro Stevie,that;s why I love this world and people,because of music like this! Greetz from Macedonia!

[28junee]

Stevie Wonder is cool, but i STILL prefer the original version by The Doors.

[Bigminton21]

This is a mega cool version of this song. I love The Doors but this is a great rendition.

[alicejackiedonald]

Love em both!!!!!!! But im a stevie fan so....

[fube89]

I still like Jose Feliciano's the best!

[SirBanuTheFourth]

@fube89 BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ORIGINAL ARTSISTS, THE DOORS!!!???? HUH???

[kookoo78]

Wow...Stevie set this song on fire...I am so damn impressed to tears right now!!! This is soul music!!!

[bucknut248]

stevie wonder puts some FLAIR into this song... i like the doors version better but this is a very close second

[frankez1975]

Great version.....not quite as good as the original...but still wonderful!

[ytsilva1]

Steve is a giant but ... noboby ever sang this song as greatly as Jose Feliciano did.

[nobody36]

@ytsilva1 ahhhh........ jim morrison sang it better.

[purple133194]

This Is so much better than the original

[purple133194]

This is wonderful It is much much better than The doors

[Tomikk86]

great!!

[Mr777788889999]

i love

[Mr777788889999]

i love

[roBEARtoEHarwoodJr]

And as far as I know, no one has sampled this... WTF?!!! There are so many parts of this song to sample... The bass line alone is wonderful!

[smarkwater]

@roBEARtoEHarwoodJr Portishead used it in their BBC Essential mix...that's where I first heard it.

[anthonydmorse]

@smarkwater same same :-))

[anthonydmorse]

@smarkwater same same ;-)

[Quaisheezy]

Stevie gave The Doors' original some soul to this song. I also love The Doors' orignal.

[elzemariario]

It´s very,very good!!! I love it!!! Stevie Wonder it ´s very cool!And this album it´s one of the best in your carrer.

[monicalups]

practically every version out there is better than the Doors'. Jim Morrison sucked. WORD. 

[HendrixPrinceFlea89]

@monicalups forget you man

[RayManzarekGod]

I was wishing Stevie would play the intro on his Clav!

[elza32358]

classic "Stevie" twist to this song...great!!!

[Thevolumex]

this versione came out in 1969 after the 1968 Jose Feliciano cover-hit by the original Doors (then was a hit in 1967), Stevie Wonder says He was inspired by the Jose Feliciano arrangments then in effect, how was admited by writer Doors-Robbie Krieger, was the most imitate at that time: He says Doors had a big debt to Jose

[GOORVY]

was the song released in 1969?

I really don't know

[Gambinotubee]

Doors original is flat, this version is fat.

:)

[monicalups]

@Gambinotubee

check out the jackie wilson and erma franklin ones too!

[Hofkicks]

One of the most covered songs of this earth and then to think that they weren't allowed to sing all of the lines at the Sullivan show.

[phoneix91]

no offense, but this song kicked the doors ver and jose felicano's ver asses.

[Scarface23100]

the doors version are 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000 times better

[willthethrill129]

The Doors and Stevie are two of my most favorite artists. This is so cool! Who would of thought Stevie doin' the Doors! Both verisons are excellent in my opinion.

[ssdivizion]

@willthethrill129 This is so cool because here are meeting musical performance and ingenuity of two great names in music history-Mister Stevie and hippie Jim together with also great band Doors

[captjo1966]

roberto going into one am sure he will fall of his seat

[1985jonnybgood]

(malcatron)........ it seems like you know a thing or too, but then i read the rest of your statement. noway!! listen to the doors live versions of light my fire, then you will see how they would take it to another level. i like all sorts of music, i heard many versions of light my fire and enjoy them. agian, noway can they touch the doors versions of light my fire!!

[brainjesus]

it's really good, and the Doors' version is really good too... very different styles that cannot really be compared...

[pinoyblues69]

stevie's version is clearly influenced by jose feliciano's.

[pinoyblues69]

Stevie's version is clearly influenced by jose feliciano's version

[SwingStu]

@pinoyblues69 A very good version in its own right, probably my favourite cover, though I hate to think of it as a cover.

[pinoyblues69]

@SwingStu yup very good indeed... my favorite tho' is the original by the doors. this is a close second. jose feliciano's is a close third.

[MickyVanVan]

@brainjesus .... the José Feliciano version is great too ..!

Most in acoustic sound .

[clubland459]

To motowninvestor... couldnt have put it more accurately myself.

[motowninvestor]

Stevie always adds that aggressive energy to all of his songs. Love it. Can I have more, sir?

[shakermaker90]

this is great cover!

[Melowgold]

I wonder what The Doors thought of this.

[hpawn68]

Magnificent performance. Love the little shout-out to the Windy City at 3:13 .... "Take ya back, Chicago!"

[kokimbo]

I hadnt noticed that bit till you mentioned it.... nice!

[brendonkas]

did stevie do this before josé

[Top100Guitarist]

@brendonkas

NO, Stevie released this in 1969, one year after Jose Feliciano (and part of his arrangments recall Jose Feliciano works and that his great hit)

[anfieldroad2005]

Great song i still have this LP from all those years ago.

[Kicksmile]

i like this version, i do, no doubt it's amazing. but the doors version, is much much better, there's no way this song could beat the original.

[malcatron]

The Doors version is probably the worst version of this song. Stevie, Shirley Bassey/Johnny Harris, Ananda Shankar and Jackie Wilson all recorded better versions

[brendonkas]

actually the doors version is the freaking worst!

[ClassicRockOfficial]

Are you nuts? The Doors version owns!

*Not to take away anything from this fantastic Stevie Wonder cover.*

[docloge]

OMG that was Sooooooooo Baaaaaadddddddd!!!!!!!

worse than Feliciano's version.

[SarcasticLeaves]

Once again, I had no idea that Stevie Wonder sang this one.. Honestly, I hated the orginal song, it was just blah. Yet, Stevie sings it and it sounds amazing!

Love it :D

Once again, Thank You for taking the time to share this lovely music with us =^_^=

[Ruqtobonien]

whats the original version then? the first time I heard "light my fire" was from Doors. when I heard this one, I couldnt believe it...

[malcatron]

The Doors did the original, largely written by guitarist Robby Kreiger. It is good but I think other artists took the song to another level.

[brendonkas]

hey johnniewalker23 you are a real bretheren! Thank you for all this music. I would haved live on this earth and never heard this version of light my fire my heart is beating double beats right now. HONESTLY! Thanks again man!

[love112489]
