this was a highlight but i feel TSLOP wasa very,very eccentric,self-indulgent lp that could be culled to one of the greatest 9 track lps in the history of music.
..Agreed!. the positive side of technology:).I was thinking more about the less talented using technology to make "music.. It's all about the visuals these days: and less about the music.
@MrListenerman on the contrary. Technology has made music available everywhere. did you ever imagine that people in furthest Tibet could listen to Stevie?
I love Stevie Wonder! What happened to todays music? Nothing compares to this. They (Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, ETC...) were REAL artist!!!
@Davemorristv I so agree with you, we obviously have the same taste in music. Stevie Wonder is the archangel of music perhaps his only rival would have been Donny provided he had lived long enough.....
Zo mooi. Dit was een groot contrast met zijn album Songs in the key of life. Mensen begrepen deze muziek denk ik niet goed. Ik kan bij deze LP echt wegdromen.
@dawnelizwilson I lost my daddy a week ago today..but, just learned of his death 4 days ago. He loved Stevie as well. I'm sorry for your loss. Maybe we can keep in touch. God bless.
@dawnelizwilson We are never truly gone until the last memory of us, in the last mind that knew us, has also gone. And even then, we have marked this world with our positive energy, and that has influenced more energy too. We're never really here, and we never really go. But boy, do we feel!
angeligabrielle: actually, you are wrong - this IS the perfect song. I have been listening to it every week since it was issued in 1979 and it still awes me.
The documentary this was written for is about studies of plants that revealed they have feelings and senses and could, for example, recognize a bad person when he walked in the room. A Japanese lady teaches her cactus to speak the alphabet through electrodes. This song, you can hear Stevie Wonder's orchid "voice" in guitar strokes toward the beginning at :05 and later conversing throughout. Beautiful, thanks for posting it.
i have been searching for this. recently seen stevie in concert in manchester with my ex husband, but he never sang this, this is for my babies, my Benjamin. Nathan, Jennifer.
I am in love with stevie's artistic ability. he is such an intellectual turn on. the imagery he uses in all his music blows my mind.....stevie, you are one of God's rarest beauties. Like David the psalmist!!!! so pure!
FINALLY! Thank U Johnniewalker23! Us true Stevie-philes owned this vinyl LP in late 1979. "Black Orchid" was a BIG fav of mine; but nowadays, couldn't find the CD at a reasonable price, so THANKS for posting it here.

Only one point: Stevie didn't write the text for this song. :) It was Yvonne Wright who brought this lyrics.
That's rather insignificant, though, since it is such an adorable piece!
