Stevie Wonder - All Day Sucker

[SuperXmadness]

MAYBE YOUR BABY... NO DOUBT!

[spottedliver]

Lay it as funky as you can SLiCk.

[MrSuperstarr121]

I love this song stevie is truly one of the greats of all time!!!

[IRONMANHONDO87]

The third best song on this album!

[bassmanjoe]

4 people have no sole at all, if this don't make you feel good you have no pulse.

[theregsband]

Stevie Wonder is the funkiest man alive!

If you like Stevie Wonder check out "The Regulars Band 2012."

Thanks and keep it funky! :)

[childoftheuniverse8]

Scuze me while I cut a rug. You chillin don't know nothin bout that. lol

[MamaNzinga]

There's something about this song. It sends shivers down my spine. It always has. I can't explain it!

[DaeAhzae]

Play this in headphones!

[zuneloader]

"Play as funky as you can Snuffy" 0:21

[aeperera]

where can i find songs in this style? it's very slow yet funky, with a drag... almost like doom metal funk

[PubliusDiamond]

One of the best songs from Songs in the Key of Life. Underrated gem.

[Verd1m5]

@PubliusDiamond On the contrary, it's considered one of the highest ranked albums of our time. Go to Wikipedia and look at the ranks of the album.

[PubliusDiamond]

@Verd1m5 I meant the song, as opposed to the album.

[Verd1m5]

@PubliusDiamond Ah. my mistake.

[cepierce100]

we all have been that SUCKER AT SOME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

[SeanGordonXRX]

Shame I only started to listen to this song yesterday.

And to think that I could have heard it a few years ago

[karlrandom]

This Song literally FUNKS me to Death !! Well executed, Steve Baby !!

[gebass6]

A heavy Guitar and Bass version of this tune NEEDS to be done.Think Greg Howe's "Kick it all Over"

[MrHandsallover]

God this man is a genius in every sense of the word he is untouched as a writer, singer, and everything that is music this was a dope album I have 2 copies one still in the wrapping and one that is on heavy rotation in my house especially when I clean up

[ThePoetGenesis]

4 people have no taste in music what so ever.

[fredblassie123]

the man could do it all...r'n'b....rock....ballads­....funk....pop.....amazing talent.

[sheltonlabitue]

4 ALL DAY SUCKERS!!!

[GameMakerPrince]

Anytime you're lost in life Stevie always helps you find your way.

[oP310o]

Some day when I'm rich and happy I'll buy whole discography of Stevie and all great musicians that I like to listen to. I can't wait :D

[joezetank]

I swear I've heard this somewhere before, been in any movies?

[ClintonFischer73]

4 dislikes????, clean out your damn ears, and then find some taste, cause you came to the right place.

[ednoroirika]

@ClintonFischer73 don't worry about then all day suckers!!!

[JLJ310]

Had the whole album (w/ bonus tracks, including this one) in Cassette, LP, and 8-track format. That's between my mother, sister, brother and me. Classic jam, classic album.

[bassmanjoe]

3 dislikes???????

[heaven17]

Play as funky as you can, Snuffy!!!

[darganx]

How did 'Snuffy' go from this to the theme tune to 'The West Wing'??

[HuckleberrySlim]

good point if aliens came here id want them to hear this! but you know what maybe they are so advanced they already went through their beautiful music phase and send us some souls to help out spiritually and musically every now and then such as in the person of one stevie wonder, who is so beautiful its not comparable to everyone else

[MRTEL7777]

PURE FUNK!!!! I WANT TO OWN A BASS GUITAR;)

[johnniewalker23]

@MRTEL7777 No doubt! Although if you haven't heard it, check out Maybe Your Baby off his Talking Book album..now THAT is pure funk

[DWBootsMusic]

@johnniewalker23 Yes.

[lukefonfabre26]

@johnniewalker23 Agreed also The Song "Black Man." It's amazing what Stevie can do with that amazing riff.

[beachhouserecords]

@johnniewalker23 

[xxquicksilver]

@MRTEL7777 Get one, i said the same thing 6 months ago, bought one, best decision of my life.



[stillphil]

@MRTEL7777 you know ? There's no bass guitar on this recording  :)

[onebasshit]

@MRTEL7777 you can never go wrong with a bass!!!!...LOL

[jeremyappleton1]

@MRTEL7777 That bass guitar MIGHT be Nathan Watts, but on 60% of those tracks it is Stevie's keyboard bass.

[jeremyappleton1]

@MRTEL7777 That bass guitar MIGHT be Nathan Watts, but on 60% of those tracks it is Stevie's keyboard bass.

[patrickdaniels95]

@MRTEL7777 bass is one of the best instruments out there... no offense to guitar players. i love both but id choose bass anyday. these are the songs that inspired me to start playing bass :D

[existentialfingers]

First heard this on a B side single record that came with album.

Always loved this FFFFFFOOOOOOONNNNNNNKKKKKKKKY track!

[SaraVietta]

cool, funky music... thanks for posting!

[MFmaxx]

One of the greatest albums of the 70's

[richiebear1969]

Stevie Wonder and George Clinton thanks for the funk.

[boomslang86]

If aliens are studying our culture long after we're gone, I hope that they listen to this first instead of the shite that passes for music nowadays.

[Shareeberrie]

I am in CONSTANT AWE OF THIS MAN!

[ph4nt0mf1ng3rs]

This is what you call a Black Belt Jones or a Black Samurai theme.

[damongoloids]

this how women treat u even if u r not a dog n cuz i'm dog i deserve it but i'm sure there r good guys that don't deserve be treated like this

[onelovega]

Man at 3:27 Stevie lets it go and sounds awesome. I love this album.

[djl4007]

play as funky as u can.i like when r&b incorporates rock

[decibelle80]

One of my favourites from Songs In the Key of Life.. His mighty grooveness... Stevie's the best.

[maineo1026]

This man here is something else.... i love this song

[newmark401]

Isn't black supremacy just as bad as white supremacy?

[gripperholmes91215]

@newmark401 Hell No!!!!

[krysis7]

@newmark401 haha! Black supremacy...what a concept

[dbastard1977]

@krysis7 It does exist in one sphere though - Music. Most popular music in the West especially now is derived from some form of black music, whether from the Caribbean, Latin America or North America and has influenced eastern music and even african music. All people are talented but musically blacks are just "supreme"

[Sybenett]

The certified genius strikes again with tonighit's rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Always ready, always Stevie.

Sy-

[BadNews88]

Note to fredblassie123:

Um, that's not quite accurate, m8..

This *was* a part of the *full, complete album*..but as the limits of vinyl could only hold so much music back then, and since Stevie refused to keep these gems 'in the can', Motown could only issue these tunes on the "Something Extra" EP, which actually played at 33 speed...not 45. Well, not 45 speed in The States, anyway..

[chucku00]

Neither in Europe !

Please read the last line on the booklet !

Peace.

[shydmples]

@BadNews88 As Aaron Neville said in the 60s...TELL IT LIKE IT IS!!! A++++

[ronnieb1958]

Black music is what Black people create!...whatever the influence, Black folk take it and make it our own..."celtic influence" my rump!...all in the name of tryin' to glean some backdoor credit!...please!

[timmy841212]

Funk 'n' roll! Go Stevie!

[fredblassie123]

This great tune didn't even make the original album...it was on a separate 45 single that came with the album!!! Amazing......

[MamaNzinga]

@fredblassie123 Correct me if I'm wrong, and I may be, because I was only 6 when this album was released... Didn't the additional "45" that this song came on have to played at "33" speed? Or am I thinking of another 45 that was like this?

[shydmples]

@MamaNzinga lol..yes..it plays at 33rpm.....2 tracks on each side.  lol

[PCSLIM55]

Thank you, johnnie walker23 for posting these wonderful oldies, but goodies of Stevie! Bless you, because you blessed me!

[Tigerblade2008]

As I read these threads, We as music lovers try to claim a certain style of music as exclusively influenced by one ethnic group or the other...One day we will realize all American music could not exist unless without the cross-pollenation of one style with the other. The next time anyone decides to call R&B 'black music', ask them to explain away the 'celtic influence' that prevails despite itself...

[diddypopdiddy]

before i ask them, i need to ask you what what the hell that last sentence meant?

[sesamestreet2]

@diddypopdiddy Lmfao!

[Tigerblade2008]

Pretty much what I said...R&B and early jazz music has a Celtic influence...let me get back to you with the article I read...

[gripperholmes91215]

@Tigerblade2008 Seriously, you need to lay off the meth. Seriously.

[Theonlydump]

@Tigerblade; I like to think of music as human influenced. :)

[Tigerblade2008]

@Theonlydump Agreed...where's my meth pipe?

[kim123792]

@Tigerblade2008 oooh sad you do meth

[Tigerblade2008]

@kim123792 Don't do any drugs...just trying to justify that rant...There is a celtic influence behind most american music...look it up as I aint gonna explain...just got tired of hearing the dumb stuff, so I said dumber stuff..

[shydmples]

THIS CUT WAS ON DA 45...........LOL

[IsrealFloresto]

great song but it doe'nt really have a hook that makes me want to listen to it until the end

[motowninvestor]

FUNKIEST Mofo on the planet!

[missdreamerno9]

By the way, Godwhatcanihave, I adore the white album, but I think your comments are a bit harsh.

[missdreamerno9]

What's this great debate about? I LOVE this song and I'm also a mega Beatles nut. Would love to play, but I think someone's withdrawn a couple of their text comments, so I'm not fully in the picture. Can someone give me the full SP please, it would be greatly appreciated.

[sleekbass]

Oh the universal expression of music!!!!! WOW!!! sounds as good as it's ever has baby!!! moves me to dance sexy for my woman... yeahhh...

[leftluck]

Stevie gets it goin so FUNKY its easy for a brain to explode. And whoever is below me, stop being such a damn SAUSAGE SLURPER.

Funk on Stevie Wonder.

[kmne11528]

Pure FUNK!! Stevie you are a GOD!!!

[rirififirirififi]

You certainly are a great man, Stevie Wonder !

[simonsebs]

Another one for my Ipod.  Stevie's going to make me broke buying all this good music.

[lisbeardsley75]

This is the best song ive ever heard.

[MrSprinkles1234]

As fresh today as when it was recorded.

Timeless jam.

[edmedmoped]

I looove this song.

[leslieson504]

Don't know if its better than, but its funkier than Superstition. Wow!!!! Lightning didnt strike me. It must be true!!!!

[TJATJA1982]

Can i play?

[bloodelfpallie]

Im white and I know this is wayyy better than any of the shit we put out!

[freddypknight]

I'm sorry to hear you put it that way, but I'm afraid it's true. Now if only Elvis and the Beatles had admitted it . . .

[bloodelfpallie]

Yes, I agree. I worded that quite poorly.

[godwhatcanihave]

Because, this album wouldnt of been created if it wasnt for the white album?

[godwhatcanihave]

I hope your not saying Stevie is better than the beatles?

[freddypknight]

I hope you aren't saying the Beatles are better than Stevie? Do you know who inspired the Beatles to make music. Hint: It wasn't Stevie. Study your history and your facts before you go out on a limb, young feller.

[godwhatcanihave]

Um hum...

Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Smokey Robinson - Buddy Holly - although in latter albums, no influence is evident.

Infact, listening to this record, and the album, Its fair to say this record wouldnt of even been created if it wasnt for the beatles.

Since little stevie wonder was writing tunes for Tammi Terrell, when the beatles we're creating sgt pepper all the way through to abbeyrd. Until this finally was released.

Maybe you should listen to the b's old naiveman

[gb4double]

lmao... the cart doesn't precede the horse, just like action doesn't precede thought... do more homework.

[TiminSE]

@freddypknight

I always thought Bob Dylan had the biggest influence on the Beatles...

[godwhatcanihave]

both of these comments are ridiculous.

White or Black, this album is influenced by all those 'white' artists.

[freddypknight]

Actually, The Beatles admitted it from the beginning. They never denied who their inspirations were. Who influenced Elvis and Buddy Holly? Meanwhile, I'm giving you a wide berth, young feller. You need more time to gain an understanding of the whole truth.

[godwhatcanihave]

truth?

You talk in tounges old man.

Don't make wonderful music about white or black.

[TheLastPictureShow]

It's not better, it's different.

[scat4u]

stevie is pure.

[sayyes2bull]

ouch! that smells, it's so funky.

[shydmples]

@sayyes2bull YOU SAID IT....LOL

[AllMyLifeToTails]

Fucknig Funkyy

Love It<333

[MusicForAllBiz]

Timeless Classic. This jam blows up the funk-o-meter!

[donbrujo]

fuck yea!

[ImhotepRamses]

i have around 8 albums from 1972 to 1983..... work it stevie.

[motowninvestor]

I'd like to dedicate this song too . . .

[BadNews88]

Note to darganx:

The 4 tracks "Saturn", "Ebony Eyes", "All Day Sucker", & "My Mother's Call" were all featured on a 7" EPwith the "Songs In The Key Of Life" Double LP - It was called a "Something's Extra" in the US release.

Back in High School we used to call "Songs.." a 2-and-a-hal-album-set. LOL!

[mattratt512]

this is my jam right here. thank you Stevie.

[JordanNola]

33 years after the release of this album, this song remains one of the baddest-ass rock/funk songs ever. Only the Chili Peppers would DARE to touch this as a cover, and I've never heard them do it. But I'd like to...

[MINSANO]

toooo funkyyy

[notbendable]

FUNKY!

[BadNews88]

Note to DanSlime:

That "xylophone"-sounding thing is a Marshall Time Modulator, as verified in the musicians' credits (In the original LP's lyrics and acknowledgements book insert)

[darganx]

I'm surprised the funky break at the start has never been sampled!! I remember this was an add-on disc with Ebony Eyes on the 'B' side (UK Release) - proves he had even more tracks he could have put on an already Double Album!!

[DeltaGirl61]

One of my favorite songs on the album!!

[spottedliver]

It's like p's  shockadelica but w / ., Stevie banging on plastic wine bottles,

[spottedliver]

Too Good to be true.

[DanSlime]

there is so much going on in this song. It has to be one of the funkiest songs...at least of the ones I've heard.

There is a fill at 1:39 in the background that sounds like a xylophone. That is the funkiest part of this song.

[angelenough]

Yes! This is a funky song by Stevie and I fell so in love with it!

[BadNews88]

Note to mefool2 & PhuckHue2:

Yes, the guitar solo is indeed by W.G. "Snuffy" Walden, who kinda sorta had a Motown connection before jammin' with Stevie here; He was in a band called The Stray Dog, and their one LP release in 1975 - "While You're Down There" - was put out on Emerson,Lake & Palmer's custom label Manticore...which was at the time distributed by Motown.

Great tune by the way...another rave-fave. Thanx, m8's..

[mefool2]

did y'all know that was Ray paker Jr on the guitar solo?

[bubbiem80]

"get me horny for your love" my favorite line on the song.

[theJuggler07]

Alot of modern day songs, use samples from Stevie Wonders songs. Coolio - Gangsta Paradise  is a sample of Stevie Wonder - Pastime Paradise :)

[Theonlydump]

Jamiroquai took a cut of B.O.R.W. for an instrumental, not to mention jacked the entire vocal style...

[j2f125]

Easily Stevie Wonder's most underrated song. It's funky (self-explanatory), has soul (in the verses), and rocks (choruses). Truly amazing fusion of three genres at their best.

[headbanger623]

Thanx johnny for putting this up

[flageolette]

He finally got home anyways,

as always

naturally

Love

[ATS68]

Stevie Wonder is the TRUTH! The Funkiest groove from Songs in the Key of Life. How many Brothers out there back in the day would spend their last dollar only to get that doorway "peck on the cheek" (LOL). Stevie you's a fool!

[Marc8Marc]

Boy does this have funk.

[lamargry]

All day sucka, I know men that is a all day sucka. Love this song.

[LollyLouLa]

This song is so before it's time!! it's so freakin funky arggghhhhhhh!!!!

[zuneloader]

"Anyone else would say 'no that's ok' but maybe by now she'll see things my way". Don't give up the pursuit of the p u s s y. Stevie.

[Baaadiyoow]

Waaw thanks joniwalker its long time to hear again this album or particularly this song

[spottedliver]

Thank-U Jonniewalker23.

[LollyLouLa]

Awesome

[justicesongs]

this has to be one of his rock songs... well it rocks!!

[romanamic]

so funky! i love it!

[j86beats]

dont forget about the bass on the arp synth too dam funkyyy

[princessofthecross]

right, right......funky.....go ahead Stevie!!

Wit ya bad self :)

[MG3AEH]

The God-father of soul..!

[kalpal67]

james brown

[MG3AEH]

Point taken but Jame Brown was more funk than soul.?

[gmfmusic]

bun God-father...straight good stevie is the father of soul

[Stimulus422]

Don't forget Marvin Gaye if you want to talk God-Father of soul anything.

[gmfmusic]

Gaye is more of an God Father for RnB...

[90topshotta]

Cool ass ole school song!! best songs to play on the drums love it!!

[islezeus]

Wow this really sounds way ahead of its time. The beginning really sounded like some early 80s stuff. What a pioneer

[frankycalzone]

I'm 1 and it's my favorite!

[n2mymuzic]

All of us have been All Day Suckers.

[Cameragirl803]

Woo Woo the 45:) what a cool post:)

[nailboy2]

you can definitly do some head bangin' to this. try it. you'll see!!!

[spottedliver]

INo I No!

[blacknuss6]

PLAY as funky as you can slick

[PhuckHue2]

he says "play as funky as you can Snuffy". Snuffy Walden is playing the lead guitar part

[ATS68]

This is the theme song for every cat who has ever been played, pimp'd & p*ssy whip'd by a girlfriend back in the day - man this song brings back some painful but "now" very funny memories. Stevie Wonder is the TRUTH! All Day Sucker is the TRUTH. Listen to the lyrics, nuf' said.

[spottedliver]

Lay as Funky as you can Slick

[godwhyisthistaken]

really cool sounds wow makes me think great song

[theJuggler07]

this is one of my all time favourite songs! Im only 18 years old, but i can honestly say stevie wonder is a legend!

[DJEvan726]

I hear ya, I'm 15 and I think Stevie Wonder is the best ever!

[OboeDuck]

13 and I do too! It is the music of all ages!

[DiggorySweetie]

I'm sitting here with my mom listening to this. She LOVED this album.

[martha9918]

wow the man a god, i would pay to go to a concert were he did nothing but songs from the "key of life" album

[donbrujo]

THANKS FOR THIS!!

[beckenbauers]

I loved this song since I was 11. Pure funk. Would be very interesting to hear live

[johnniewalker23]

Pure funk is right...one of my favorite Stevie songs

[tigerjussuf]

how diverse and intelligently made...probably played all instruments all by himself!

one hell of a mega-talent!no one can compare.not one single watercarrier of the "stars"to this day!!..

[johnniewalker23]

I agree with you 100%!
