Stevie Wonder - Sugar

[tyleryesta1]

I wish records still sounded like this.

[fatkidquartet]

Why are there video's i can't watch on my phone? What's the point?

[ElWizzzardOfWu92]

sounds like bernard purdie to me, minght not be but its usually a good guess. anyway this track is a fonky muva licker!

[GregBX86]

This is my favorite Stevie album, with Sugar being the main reason why. It's flawless, I suggest that you check out the whole thing.

[Intrepid10]

I agree - the drums on this track are incredible.

[MrSoul808]

ooooooweeeeeeeeeee. Jammin

[ultraroadmap]

Stevie.....one of the greats of music...period.

[tderrell7]

these are the greatest drums ive ever ever heard on one track in my life stevie is the master

[HawkwindMaster]

Dear God - why is this album out of print?! Surely it ranks alongside his best works?

[MyNameIsNeutron]

Now I know where Mark Ronson gets his drum inspiration from.

[thewirah]

Awesome, and I thought I knew Stevie Wonder's music!

[sanfeypants]

Thank you so much for adding all these :)

[scrubbler23]

love this jam!

[ROCHA2030]

UM DOS MELHORES MÚSICOS DO MUNDO !

[GuestX]

great song

[Pedrolarrozapretti]

This must be - honestly - about the 14th time I play this, in a row.

[PeteGeeza86]

Hidden Stevie Wonder gem :-D

[maxou623]

I saw Stevie yesterday xxxxx :)

[damian4444]

Never heard this one before. Great tune. I love the beginning, but everything in this tune i like, guitar is awesome, the horns are fantastic, and then there is Stevie, what can you say ? he's awesome.

[johnniewalker23]

@damian4444 What about the drums??

[TheIntruders]

@johnniewalker23 I head that the drums were actually an uncrdited Bernard "Pretty" Purdie but it sounds like Stevie to me.

[mynameisjenny7]

@johnniewalker23 This is SUPER LATE, but I think it's Uriel Jones. It says on the discography that Stevie Wonder was playing with the Funk Brothers for "Sugar."

[taratova]

Sugar Sugar.. Stevie is Sugar!!

[imperialh8]

That cover art gets me every time.

"Hey Mom I finally got that Stevie Wonder in the mail"

I like how it says do not drop...

[tsunchoo]

i can't even say how good this record is - i can't wear this record out - and that fill at 2.31 - wow.

[guinneverefaas]

I just LOVEEE this song... and not just the drums...!

I love the lyrics, the melody and Stevie's singing of course!

[OsvaldoMenegazzi]

Super soul song! I like it so much!

[swayDay00]

If you know like I know, ya'lla do somthing about dat gash ya left onna dance flo (Cuttin a rug) Whatcha know bout dat youngstas... Thank ya Stevie, for inviting listeners to the music in your mind.

[PantheraLio]

I wonder how a blind man is so fricken good!

[tigerbright22]

One of my faves from Stevie

[ItsMachineHead]

This track has the best drums of all time.

I've been trying to find info on the song but haven't been able to dig anything up. I wanna know who's playing!!

[johnniewalker23]

@ItsMachineHead...same here. If you do figure out who was playing the drums lemme know, I'd love to find that out.

[bmclaugh]

@johnniewalker23 I'm about 98% positive that Stevie played them himself. The dude is a legend!

[tajto92]

@ItsMachineHead man i think it's stevie! he played drums on a lot of his tunes

[GanjMonster]

@ItsMachineHead Apparently, it's Marvin Gaye. I didn't know it but he started out as a session drummer.

[nidiaaw1]

@ItsMachineHead Stevie's playing the drums on this track!!

[nidiaaw]

SO many comments about the drumming on this song....we do know that Stevie himself is playing, right? Yes, he is a genius!!!

[johnniewalker23]

No we don't. Tried to find info on this song but wasn't able to. My guess is it's the Funk Brothers providing those licks.

[entertainmentmusical]

An excellent video, and a great artist of all time, is always good to hear. Thank you!

[MrWhizzpop]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG MAN!!!

[spottedliver]

thank you Johnnie for this,.

[johnniewalker23]

My pleasure, thanks for the comment, made me actually want to listen and hear those drums.

[MavericksJSF]

@johnniewalker23 Well, we know that a lot of the Funk Bros. tracks had two drummers playing simultaneously, there is a good chance that this is what we are hearing, Pistol and Uriel. Maybe Stevie and one of them. I think this would explain the accented kick hits that make this song so significant.

[johnniewalker23]

@MavericksJSF You're probably right. I have a feeling it's not Stevie on the drums though, cuz I'd have figured if it was we'd know about it.

[Ezkeel]

Dang if they played this on the radio today and made it sound a little electronic i would think someone made it yesterday!!!

timeless music is the best.

[tehtrj65]

Sugar, Sugar How I wanna be your baby boy Sugar, Sugar How I wanna be your play toy Got no time for every woman Thinking that shes looking fine Got no pockets full of money no no no A fox would just be wasting her time All I got is good good loving And good loving doesnt have to find Hey!

[taratova]

Stevie is a party to listen too.. jam at its best!! Got to hand it to the musicians on this album!! Every song a Great one!!

[skyslope]

My memory of this song will forever be riding in a car at 5:00 AM with this crazy brilliant guitarist singing this at the top of his lungs with pure unadulterated joy...

[ZZEB]

THE DRUMS ARE CRAZY FRESH!!

[allrequiredfields]

shit yeah! one of my all-time favorite drum tracks.

Sorry, but this stuff was better than his 70's stuff. This stuff is brilliant.

[johnniewalker23]

?? This IS his 70's stuff....right at the start of it

[allrequiredfields]

Do you not recognize the dramatic change from his 60's stuff to his 70's stuff?? This album was definitely still of the exciting, triumphant 60's vibe, as where Superstition (only 2 years later) and such - had the very sleazy, darker 70's vibe. He of course helped define the 70's music scene, I guess I'm just not fond of 70's music in general - it's always seemed like such a let-down after the ubiquitous musical brilliance of the 60's... even better clothes too, haha!

[ZZEB]

DOPE!!

[joarante]

one of the greatest songs...
