Stevie Wonder - Ngiculela/Es Una Historia/I Am Singing

[LAWoman323213]

I have vague memories of my dad playing this song when I was very (very) young. Sitting in his arms by the record player. This song always makes me happy when I hear it. I LOVE THIS WHOLE ALBUM!

[misse751]

Never heard this song before today and I am loving it.

[joangreg]

This is my ALL TIME FAV SONG from the Genuis that Stevie is. I remember going to buy the album in the summer of 76,and falling in love with this song. Just returned from New Year in Vegas where I saw the man perform,waited 40yrs to see him,AWESOME !!!!

Love you Stevie.

[60miroca]

QUE CANCION, LA BAILE CON UN PELADON EN MI JUVENTUD, QUE RECUERDOS CARAJOOOO.....

[TheJimmyjames8]

in any language GOD is speaking through stevie. how sweet it is! love will NEVER die!!!!!

[goodworkercurrent]

phenominal I just love this and so unexpected

[stevig627]

I love the Swahili portion....

[jigory]

This is the definition of what great music should be - didactic! 

[MsUkdance]

"Lets start singing love form the hearts"  Stevie has always said it as it is meant to be.

[kitabwalli]

Had it on vinyl back in the day and it's still great.

[marianapirlo]

Wow! I like it so much: STEVIE WONDERFUL!!! Amazing!

[LinZeeLinuz]

what i love about this song is the keyboards so flowing like water t...i love this song so that i probably posted here months and months ago!

i love this song!!

[umoja99]

@ fenway2k - I don't know how old you are but there are some old school artist who can perform as long as Stevie and the one that comes to mind is George Clinton. Unfortunately, the venues that he now has to perform at won't let them perform that long. Everytime they are here in DC they end up shutting down the sound to make them get off stage. I saw Stevie years ago and again 2 years ago here in DC and he was MARVELOUS!

[fenway2k]

Last year I went to a Stevie Wonder concert and he performed for almost six hours! It was well worth the money. Name another contemporary R&B artist that can do that? You'll pay twice as much and be lucky to get an hour!

[416chocomama]

OMG! I so remember this song when this LP came out...wow...awesome memories....Love Stevie FOREVER:)

[essiusc]

Hit replay... I've played this song 3 times in a row, these folks should be happy I'm at work 'cause I feel like standing up and bursting out in song.. I AM SIIIINNNNGG OF TOMORROWWW I AM SINNNIINGGG OF LOOOOVVEEEE...Wow this is really a feel good song...

[sugasweetish]

@essiusc NOW THATS FUNNY !

[bronxbabi100]

Anytime I feel down, I listen to this song and it makes me happy. How can you not feel happy when signing this song??

[essiusc]

May 14th attended Annual tribute to Stevie Wonder party in Brooklyn, NY. It was freaking amazing, all peoples together, dancing, singing and just having a sweaty good time. If only this world could be like that party - Heaven on Earth for 5 hours where there is no hatred, just love of great music and a great musician. Stevie's music crosses all color and , gender lines and that's how our world really should be! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY STEVIE!

[redpinkism]

[zmadecm33]

[tofelt]

at the 2:02 Manohman, that soaringggg crescendo he does into I AM SINGING!!! the whole album just SO FAR AHEAD OF ITS TIME. ALL GLORY TO GOD for CREATING STEVIE WONDER & MOTOWN!!!

[skiza33]

@tonyde52: YESSSA! 

[Kokolette14]

YES STEVIE WONDER

[jerste]

I am white an thanks to Stevie I speak Zulu.

[LinZeeLinuz]

one of the most beautiful songs of all this universe or is it just a beginning for us to find what more there is.....

[erika2012vsu]

This is an essential album to life! If you're black especially. If you didn't have this album in your home or at least knew someone with it.. you're very very lost!

[phnixlady]

AH, I recall strolling down a sunshiny Venice, CA street in my youth, singing this song at the top of my lungs. A sweet man stopped to tell me it was beautiful. I loved that day.

[LinZeeLinuz]

@phnixlady i don't even know you but somehow i seem to remember that day too!

[phnixlady]

@LinZeeLinuz Swwet! Peace  2 U.

[TheMrrick58]

The whole album was pure genious, but this song was and still is my all-time Stevie favorite!! Such a beautiful and soothing beat!! I wore out three albums playing this cut alone. It is very hard to find music such as this now. Stevie, this song has a big place in my heart and thank you to the one who saw fit to post this cut!! A true treasure from a true artist !!

[catd818]

i am singing right now!

[MsL0vie]

I know this song.....just never knew the title.

[bitlowtothebone]

What can i say >>>>>>Just lovely!!!!!!!

[BloodyBison]

Stevie is Truly a wonder...This song is God Like as is most of his music

[2011liana]

i love this song.the best!!!!!

[ladyjam1900]

Stevie with a definate Latin beat.  Very, very cool

[TheTrh2130]

Another Stevie song with a Latin beat is Bird of Beauty

[trumusicgen]

Its so awesome how one create something given to them from God, and we love it and appreciate it, though we didnt make it ourselves, we almost take it as our own, if he didnt create it we would never have heard or seen such a beautiful piece of art, how life would not be complete without beauty whether it is heard or seen

[JTinJA]

I was 10 yrs old and my mom bought me this dbl lp......playeed it til it was scratched......Can never get enough of Stevie Wonder......Summer 76 @ Wint Rd, Mandeville, Jamaica........

[Alayeus]

OMG Thank you so so much for this post...Dam I go back with this one...in the projects...smoking mad weed killing this mad melody. YESSSSSSSSSSS

[gurlbrit]

A friend sent me a link to Ngiculela - Es Una Historia, OMG you have taken me back to my early 20's when I fell in love with Steve's music. Thank you, thank you. I have been bopping at work all day.

[pjnotti]

I just sent this to my dad for Father's Day...we used to sing this together when I was a kid. This song has very good memories. Thank you for video.

Pam

[mogalistenmusic]

Es una super rola que no escuchaba hace mucho tiempo, pero no cabe duda que Steve es una verdadera pistola, jajaja de las buenas

[martinjp1958]

My fav from that album. Of course he does his trick of going to the higher octave towards the end - who else could do that? It's so well executed and moving. True power and feeling in the voice.

[TheGTSR]

Such an awesome song...although I listen to mostly electronic dance music now, I would still rank this as my favourite album of all time. Never bores me, never ceases to take me on a journey.

[boricuabro100]

Stevie is a GIANT!

[foggey]

@boricuabro100 i would say titan in the music bizz

[bigzizzo]

@boricuabro100 you got that right

[TheJimmyjames8]

@boricuabro100 stevie is a GIANT among GIANTS!!!

[dereudre]

paradisiaque !

on se croirait au jardin d'éden ou sur une plage du pacifique

Mais comment fait Mr Wonder pour nous faire rêver comme personne ?

Viens t"il d'une autre planète ?

[MsBeall502]

Najee's remake of this is very nice too...very nice...

[ebimedialab]

Peace Love & Powder

[ebimedialab]

Peace love & Powder

[narkila]

[TheJimmyjames8]

@uksamoa i could not of said it better! STEVIE IS THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!

[mrsange1967]

this song is a gem!!! kiss to stevie wonder

[rhythmandblues1]

A song in 3 different languages? never heard of anything like that... but this song is still awesome, just like stevie's always are. *salutes*

[Girlshine]

I bought this album in 1976 and it's still as awesome and relevant today as it was back then. Pure genius. God bless Stevie Wonder.

[uzipolo]

yep thats why he won a grammy for it and it took him 2 years to make this albulm and it was worth the wait my parents too bought this in 76 and i never saw a double lp albulm other than marvin gaye live at the paladuim says uzipolo-king of decatur

[KV4671]

graete uplaod

[1118t100smd]

10/10 classic

[motowninvestor]

The fist part of this song is in Zulu, the second part in Spanish, the last part in English.

Question: Where can I find this entire Album in another language, other than English?

[Maaraka78]

He put out a message in '76 with this album, over 40 years later we're just starting to act on it. Still so much work to do though.

[A90ustin123]

You mean over 30 years later, right?

[motowninvestor]

I am Wonder Full!

I've been on a Stevie Wonder hih for a week! Help!!!!!!!

[bigzizzo]

the best singer of all time

[zune1421]

Wonderful. I love it . And im a youngster. I dig this type of music.

[chucku00]

at the end of the portfolio, in the french edition of the vinyl "Songs in the key of life" is written "je t'aime". is it the same in the other editions or is it translated in every language?

[dexxxhunt]

1 of my fav albums of all time by 1 of my fav artist of all time!!

[cornergang]

..this song gave me an understanding of other tongues..to this day,i can still recite them all!(..and know their translation)!!Bless you Stevie!!

[frankjewell]

this is the most underrated song and the best on the whole album stevie wonder is a genius

[lionzion22]

Damn!  How many knew Stevie speaking Zulu first verse?

[motowninvestor]

I didn't know what language it was!!!! OH MY GOD, THANK YOU!!!!!!

[morefactlessfiction7]

I am a black man. This song helped introduced

me into speaking spanish, as well as seeking

other languages. Before I was only interested

in just speaking english, now I could speak 3

different languages. Thanx Stevie for broadening my mind.

[LANORDA9]

That's awesome but what does being black have to do with it. Perhaps you are responding to someone. Many Black people speak Spanish(many blacks are also latin) and many many are multi-lingual. ???????

[motowninvestor]

I understand what he is saying. If you don't speak spanish, this song will make you sing it with feeling, loud.

[nolaeast]

@morefactlessfiction7 That was very well put. Real art will uplift a person. Stevie is a real artist that has uplifted millions. You serve as one excellent example to that fact. Thumbs up to you.

[chucku00]

@morefactlessfiction7 Don't forget bambara (from the land of the integer men).

A french white (can't be sure) guy.

[bluessenior]

@morefactlessfiction7 which one is the 3rd?magyar?greetz

[LinZeeLinuz]

@morefactlessfiction7 ...man.... wow!

[tranmere789]

@morefactlessfiction7

I can teach you some nice Finnish words like:

Warm - Lämmin

Warmer - Lämpimämpi

Giddy bull - Innostunut sonni

Soap seller - Saippuakauppias

(now read last two from righ to left...)

[Kingrob30]

@morefactlessfiction7 This got me interested in Spanish too. Go figure!

[CRYSTALLTAY]

@Kingrob30 Me too!

[IsheeRg]

Songs in the Key of Life is the best album ever made!

[Imerica1]

This album is one of my most prized posessions (material). Inscribed on the inside cover is "1976" in my grandfather's handwriting.

[DCisMINE]

Thats cool. My mom bought this album the day it came out back in 76. She said that the store where she got it from had a line out the door!! She still has it today!! The other great thing about this album is that it went 10 times platinum. T

[twinronda]

wow, this song reminds me of my aunty Donna. My family has changed so much. We are so distant now and I hate it. This puts me in a good mood. Thank you Stevie.

[Sharita703]

This song is so beautiful

[mixerup2dabeet]

It just makes me happy to be living in a time where a Songwriter like Mr.Wonder exists! He is truly a Blessing upon us. In any language his music will reign forever in the hearts of those fortunate to feel his words and hear his melodies. My question is can there be anyone on this Earth who writes music and songs as beautiful as his?

[eric601d]

Some of the best music you ever want to hear on this LP. Thank GOD that we have the technology to preserve what is so precious to us.

[musicalprodigy1]

Jesus...these chords and his voice....indeed magic Mr. Wonder....wow...(#.#)

[ret23867]

This is and will always be something very special...Thank you for posting this Masterpiece

[priceland]

What a gift! This guy is awesome!

[hilltopboots]

This song sounds better with the passing of the years. I have scractheded up 3 wax and four CD's playing this cut.

Youngsters, this is a master telling you about love and making you bob and weave your head to his beat. OUTFUCKINGSTANDING.

[bigzizzo]

exactly very well said

[brendonkas]

I am singinnnnnnnnnnnng, of tomorrow, I am singinnnnnnng of love. STEVIE WONDER IS THE BEST SINGER, MUSICIAN, SONGWRITER EVER LIVED!

[bigzizzo]

you are 100% correct

[nzfisho]

Bought this album 32 years ago loved it then & still love it now.Lets all share the love & pass it on.God bless all those who heed STEVIE'S words.

[islezeus]

love it!

[debitsncredits]

I think,,,,,the words l where a part of the album if I remember,,,i still have them 30 years later,,,,,and I thank the Indianapolis Public Schools for teaching Spainish at the grade school level-----the translation was on point

[asheeky]

finally! a song no one has commented on! for the longest time i was singing this song, and had no idea what i was saying! then i realized he translated it in the end...
