    ofcourse also to make money he is a professional through and through!

  • So much passion in this song. I love it!

    

  • Stevie's last really good album. I hate to admit it, but I don't care for most of his 80s music.

  • i love love stevie he can never be duplicated

  • 20years old and adoring 70s through 80s jams....its all i listen to

  • im fourteen years old and i know good music when i hear it,,... WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY better then the imitation of art by younger artists!!!! this is authentic music for the soul that can be felt inside by generation after generation, but not duplicated!!!!!

    #absolutely beautiful

  • I think I was 8 when my sister (god bless her ) use to play this album 24/7.. Love you sis miss you but I know you are so in a better place and thank you !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Music that came from this genius is the reason why today's music makes no sense to me.

  • I think Janelle Monae used bits of this for her song "Say You'll Go"

  • @Moog168 Oh yeah. She definitely had to.

  • 14 people must have been dropped down on this cold cold world!!

  • Don't ever drop me, baby. Especially not to this icy place. EVER!!!!!!

  • "You took me riding in your rocket gave me a star, but at a half mile to heaven you drop me back down to this cold cold world"

    In other words Stevie got him some good loving.

  • Elton John has Rocket Man, Stevie Wonder has Rocket Love.  Both good songs!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • One of the best songs ever...one of my favorites from Stevie.

  • If you love this song, you'll love "Say You'll Go" by Janelle Monae, which was inspired by this song.

  • This song explains how I feel today... My ex dropped me back down to this cold world after giving me a star... Thanks Stevie for this masterpiece...

  • Stevie SEE"S musie very well.

  • man i heard this on the steve harvey morning show the other day & i was like oh snap! stevie coming out with that fire!!...didn't know this was like 20yrs ago!!! this here is fire, gosh i love this song!

  • @aynota lol...I heard that...this is 31 years ago...lol

  • i love you crelady

  • you are a kind person crelady!;-))

  • Thanks crelady!

  • Ya know, the ultimate rocket love is reachin that balance between two primer patterns of black and white, in a mix, not just one of them, this way one comes to understand fully in appreciation that panther racist-free sphere of Stevie Wonder, and this is album of Hotter than July was just that message, you just have to be in the fetchin capability

  • @waqoye I don't know what you said but I like it.

  • It would be a much colder world without having loved and lost!

  • New Orleans everyday i run thru......

  • 13 people are still bitter from being dropped down to this cold cold world.

  • it is really a very cold world! i hate it

  • @61kingsize But you're still here, so good things can still happen.

  • classic soul.....you just dont here good music like this anymore

  • @08312011 YOU SURE DON'T !!!

  • and i can tell i am manic depressive

  • music is healing!

  • thank god for the gift of,,,,,,,,, music,,,,,the souls medicine

  • say what??

    Love it

  • Beautiful music. I love this song.

  • Stevie=Genius!

  • Hands up if frank Ocean brought you ass here.

  • never heard this song.. but i already love it

  • gr8 song ,,very fond memories of listening to this when i woz 15

  • He makes music from the heart not for earning money!

  • @lusoscorpionx That's quite hearable! :)

  • @rakdawgel indeed!

  • @lusoscorpionx AMEN! I HEAR YOU ON THAT ONE!! SOOOOO TRUE

  • love this song by stevie wonder he is pure genius.

  • sad world when a blind boy from a single mom could see more in space than the sighted. Less money on war and place and more to help the human race. From the trenches and bowels of our ghettos and saharan imperialistic wars instead of flight tours, clean up your mess in space, BOYS you're all one big penile disgrace.

  • It makes U wonder is the world ever going to have another Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles. They were great but who is going to carry the torch for the next generation when it comes to breaking obstacles and creating dreams and memories from their curious fingertips and distinctive voices and creative souls i'm in my twenties so I am not speaking biased but I feel like our generation has yet to produce the "Classics" that the younger generation will be able to reference. Are we de-evolving musically?

  • @eternal22x your a very smart young man to place the words this way u did tell me some more i like you.

  • @eternal22x I feel you cause its like the music these days dont come from the soul its all about sales and having "the look" and not about honing there craft.

  • @eternal22x People should aspire to be better than Stevie and Ray but it's a different time and era now and majority of artist don't know about substance in their music. It seems like everyone is looking for a hit song in my opinion.

  • Beautiful song...but to know he wrote it in his sleep...(priceless) instead of dreaming dreams....he dreams music!

  • STEVIE AND MICHEAL THE BEST! IM 14! thumbs up if u think i got good taste in music

  • Love this song!!!

  • genius personified!

  • Stevie is due for a comeback!...he is woven into our cultural fabric.

  • @Chasson0318 Stevie never comes back, he,s Stevie Wonder, he,s never gone. His due is always. Rest assured , he'll be out but not back with a soulful song that will be a hit. But i feel ya.

  • Love you so Stevie! Miss and love you Michael...

  • have a wee bit of respect...this man .is going to be one of the best remembered singer/songwriters afro americans .who ever lived ...and i bet the two guys who are shouting there mouth off are afro americans ...am white and scottish stevie is the man

  • every time i hear this song it bring tears to my eyes..

  • I here because of Stevie, not some lame ass, pretendin ass, fraudulent rapper.

  • both Curren$y and Stalley killed this sample

  • all i gotta say is "spitta" killed this sample off of "i did it myself"

  • @inktown2theyak so that's the only reason you came here is because of Curren$y? If so taje your ass back I fuck wit JETS but damn I ain't dick riding like you

  • @AndreRedd1Empire man shut the fuck up!how im riding ah nigga dick n jus said he killd the sample?How you the Jets n aint sayn some dumb shit like that...Look aint got time for that young shit only young muthafuccas say dumb shit like that lame muthafucca!U now u a lame when u reply muthafuccas post comment n look for shit to say n make yo punk ass look!Anyway aint u low key sack mutha!

  • I heard this beat soooo many times in movies I forgot it was a wonder song. This song is sooooo soulful. Makes me think of my wife....going to play it for her tonight.

  • i sing this one a lot...

    so passionate...and powerful!!!!

  • Rza sampled this for Gza's "Cold World"..Incredible

  • DIZ SONG GO HARD TOO DEEP

  • who could possibly not lyk this song..?lyk w...tf?

  • janelle monae used part of the melody for say you'll go. Genius breeds genius.

  • @lpackgrays7781 Yes, she's very underrated. Absolutely sensational artist.

  • @lpackgrays7781 if you look on her cd book she used the melody or beat from stevie wonder's song "girl blue" from his "music of my mind" album. i hope the record a song together

  • Curren$y

  • Genius!  Those lyrics are the bomb! The way his mind works. Amazing!

  • "I would not do that to a dog" -- Brings tears to my eyes every time.

  • The Messiah

  • WTF??? 13 Dislikes??? I would not do that to a DOG!!!! Stevie is the BEST!!!!! Better than the BS that's out today!!!

  • @thirtydaes - You sound like you're a trip. When I read your screen name, I hollered because it implies, at least it does to me, that 30 days is your probationary period (internal clock) for detecting the BS and eliminating anyone that does not come correct. Stevie added those two words just for you. And, I'm still hollereing!!! 

  • @Christyluv2011 lol! yep, that's me! :)

  • Comment removed

  • @thirtydaes Toooo funny!

  • why are we talking about pharell in a stevie wonder song???????

  • @thirtydaes Tank-you! thumbs up

  • @Christyluv2011: i thought i was the only one who realized stevie said that! that's my favorite part of the song. i sooooooo love this...describes my relationship with love exactly.

  • @FrankE1963 - that part about the dog is not all Stevie said. Advance to about 3:44 and listen from there. Stevie says, "You dropped my blacka** out into this cold, cold world." Now that's for real.

  • GZA sampled this on "Cold World" =)

  • Steve was a great artist my mom was alittle girl and went wit him to pick his store to pick the instrutment for this song when she was young for this song

  • I know some one probly said this but GZA used this on "Cold World" they changed up the hook but.... ^_^

  • I like the song but What's the meaning of the song?

  • @cwilma1 give it whatever meaning you want

  • @cwilma1 stevie is singing about dating someone you thought was your soulmate and then they dump you. you were half a mile from heaven & then they dropped your black ass down into this cold, cold world.

  • @thirtydaes ...dropped my black ass....In the 80's my friend and I argued whole heartedly about him saying that. He kept insisting that it was NOT what he said! Lol! I just copied and pasted your comment to him!

  • @Califefe lolol. yep stevie says it!

  • @thirtydaes ...and now he believes me cause you said it was so! lol!  Now he knows not to argue Stevie lyrics with a die hard Stevie fan! I know every lyric to every song! Thanks for inadvertently backing me up!

  • @thirtydaes lol I love how you put it :) LOL Funny!

  • I've been a half a mile from heaven and the trip back is no joke @viola. RIP - I love you 4ever

  • @ a half mile from heaven you drop me back down to this cold cold world i would not do that to a DOG!

  • stevie u the man this is one cold cold i mean cold song just listen to the word in this song man that was real music

  • My God the beginning is so mysterious and enigmatic. Music will never sound like this anymore.

  • love this song have allay hisin m cd my bday is

  • Stevie said, "He would not do that to a Dog"!!!. That's Deeeeep.lol.

  • THIS SONG IS NOT LONG ENOUGH,,,,I GET CHILLS EVER TIME I PLAY IT,,,,,GOD HAS TRULY BLESSED US WITH STEVIE

  • This song is hypnotizing...Close your eyes and just listen-tell me you aren't just mesmerized.

  • I CAN LISTEN TO THIS SONG FOR DAYS, AND NEVER GET TIRED OF IT.

  • @brandeeee100 meee tooo!!!!

  • happy bday stevie on saturday may 14!

  • The lyrics of this song are so deep. You really have to listen and have been through the situation of the song.

  • I love the way this songs floats along.... than drops a little to be caught like a feather by a gentle wind... beautiful..beautiful!!! The intensity raises and Like that...awe ... I wake...What a great song. Good looking out @ PullCat63 for recomending this song nxt.

  • Wesley.... I did it to myself, I messed up because of my insecurities..... a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back down to this cold, cold world

  • Listened to him then, listening to him now, I hope I'll

    always be able to. 30 years ago and today listening to him

    gives me chills. Genius!

  • GZA - Cold World

  • Terrace Martin - Thirsty

  • Curren$y- I Did It Myself

  • the man have a mixtape song with q-tip. he his the man. no lil wayne

  • This is what happens when God touches a person with the gift of Music. This song is decades old and it sounds like it was created just yesterday. Stevie a true musical genius, legend, icon. One of our greatest entertainers ever, let us celebrate his life now -- while we are still blessed to have him. I don't want to loose anohter great musician "gone too soon" before letting him know how much we love him! Thank you Stevie!

  • @essiusc So True I came home to find it and it was made in 1980!! I thought it was a new album my mom said girl that was before you was born lol.... I love it!!!

  • @essiusc

    I grew up with this gifted man and I have loved him since I was a little girl in the 70's!! Gifted and blessed is what he is!!!

  • @essiusc Well said! Our best poet, one of our best musical artist in one. It gets no finer.

  • @essiusc You are so right. Stevie has been there with me through all my heartache and pain.

  • @essiusc  Yes indeed!

  • @essiusc ...well said ;))

  • This one is for Sabrina. DAMN.........I miss you girl!!!!!

  • Constant repeat!!!!!! Thank you Lord for Stevie Wonder!!!!!!

  • man this song..wow

  • Classic Real R&B

  • This is one of my fave Stevie tunes but also this HAS to contain one of PAUL RISER'S best string charts!!!

  • @3:48 did he say you drpped my black ass back down to this cold world? Always wondered about that. Love Stevie Forever!

  • @servantofalla Probably.

  • @servantofalla

    He said , "he would not do that to a dogtoo!"

  • @servantofalla After all these years I had never noticed that @ 3:48. You dropped my "black ass" back down to this cold, cold world. It made me laugh and once again Stevie shows us his sense of humor. Good ear on that one Servantofalla. Peace.

  • @servantofalla yep!

  • Provocative soul! Stevie's voice gives me chills!

  • I love this song so much

  • I would not do that to a dog baby!! Favorite song from this album!

    He's my #1 go to for all occasions -- whether it be a holiday, party, or just an ordinary day. Grew up on Stevie, grew my kids up on him too, they know most of his lyrics -- now showing the next generation (grandsons) how beautiful he makes you feel! Seen him twice over the last few years in the Bay Area and had a red tank top made with this album's cover art to show my love. It was HOT! 1st Concert was in July too -- CRAZY!

  • To me this is the deepest song ever. I had a few girls have took me riding in their rocket and gave me a star

    But at a half a mile from heaven they dropped me back

    down to this cold, cold world

  • whats wrong with people? how can you not like this song?

  • "A female Shakespeare of your time

    With looks to blow Picasso's mind

    You were the best

    Your body moved with grace and song

    Like symphonies by Bach or Brahms

    Nevertheless, oh oh

    You took me riding in your rocket gave me a star

    But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

    down to this cold, cold world" CLASSIC MATERIAL OMG classic stuff!!!!

  • @markus1978p wow thats poetry....

  • @alysiamonet thanks.....just a beautiful song 

  • @markus1978p My FAVORITE part!

  • i would not do that to a dooooogggggg bay bay yea

  • Damn!! I wouldn't do that to a dog....that's the truth

  • "you droped my black ass down in this cold cold world>>>3:45

  • @MACKMAN10000 LOL i never ever noticed!!!! i need to stop singing along i guess. Hahahaha Stevie is hilarious

  • my shit!!!!!!

  • This song is my life right now in this moment....

  • This song is my life right now in this moment....

  • Talk about the ultimate love let down!

  • TIHS IS IT!!! this is my life right now right here

  • 8 retards that needs to go before a firing squad!

  • wow this album cover...i can remember my mom having this album b/c i remember telling her i wanted my hair like this lol.

  • @citygirlsince1978 agreed

  • 1980 wow, I was in high school good music like this and lots of good memories. For all you young listeners take the time to appreciate the words to this master piece.

  • Nice Latin feel in this tune too

  • ahaha i would love to be this lady he's talking about she sounds like a fox!

  • ohh wow this sounds like pharrell take it off at the beginng lmaoo

  • @KidDebbieIsReady Are you SERIOUS? A Pharrell Take Off? This song was a hit before Pharrell was in 5th grade !!! Pharrell aint even a hair follicle on Stevie's ass... wtf? You need to recognize who the genius is and who the student is. Get it straight.. That's like saying Michael Jordan is a copy of Kobe.. Anything Pharrell does has been done before.. and he probably studied Stevie till his head and ears hurt....

  • @megavega4 whoaa calm down all i said is that beging of the song sounds like pharrell take it off not take off lmaoo!!! and this song is mad old so of course he stole it . its not that serious relax . -_________-

  • @megavega4 LMAO! HAIR FOLICLE ON STEVIES ASS>>> CLASSIC!

  • @megavega4 WORD TO DEATH!!! ITS A SHAME YOU HAVE TO GO OFF LIKE THIS BECAUSE RESPECT IS IN SUCH SHORT SUPPLY THESE DAYS. STEVIE RULES A GREAT COMPOSER, MUSICIAN, WRITER, PERFORMER AND HUMAN BEING...

  • @megavega4 right on tell it how it is!

  • @megavega4 that's right....but don't diss on Pharrell man...he makes amazing 'commercial' music....since every fucking comercial music sucks as hell. Pharrell, like Steavie Wonder uses amazing chord progressions, in a def world....in a world where people only feel 2 or 3 chord progressions used by Gaga, Rhianna, Black Eyed Peas, Bieber....etc etc etc etc. And yes....as a chord lover, Pharrell said that he is inspired by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson (Quincy Jones cool chords),etc

  • @VitorVitoriaBaia I'm not dissing Pharrell... I'm simply laughing at the notion of he and Stevie being mentioned in the same sentence... Pharrell stands out more by default than actual talent... It's not the same playing field.. When everything else around you sucks... it's easy to be viewed as great. Stevie's golden era was during a time in music where he had fierce competition and peers on his level.
