@stardelorian the REAL illuminati made lyrical music... not that government conspiracy stuff ppl made up and the one ur talkin about.. Illuminate= illuminators=teachers=Gods
Today, January 18th 1989, At just 38 years old, Stevie Wonder became the youngest living person to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Other inductees include The Rolling Stones, The Temptations, Otis Redding and Dion DiMucci. ... Hot Damn what a lineup that was
Loved all of Stevie's 70's stuff but when he started up with "Part Time Lover" and "I Just Called To Say I Love You" I had to immediately tune him right out. Great musician, played with many legends but record company execs put the kabash on good music post 70's!! All they want now is ballads.
@EnlightenedRogue Those songs weren't that bad. Don't get me wrong, I like many other songs by stevie so much more than his 80s fare. However, I was a child of the 80s and if weren't for those songs, I would probably never would have listened to Innervisions or Talking Book.
@mohinderbauer MTV and record company execs did alot of damage to music. Everyone started posing for the cameras instead of concentrating on writing great songs. Musicians are like athletes; they grow, they peak and then the slide happens. McCartney's collaboration with Wonder was dry heave material and the video (even as a 16 year old) brought me douche chills. Can't compare to these classics.
Stevie and WonderLove played "Living for the City" at the Spectrum June 72 opening for the Stones and blew the roof off the place.The opening chords on the keyboard we're imprinted on my brain.Later as I got older I realized the truths,inequalities and injustices right here in the USA.Never heard the end part of getting on the bus in NY until I was in the Navy.Last base I worked was in Biloxi Missisippi and believe me it was not harmony(2005).Perserverance is what I get from this song.GREAT song
@johnny0g : honestly I think its because although legal discrimination has been banned, private discrimination by individuals has unfortunately continued. but I think just as race relations have gotten better in this country, they will continue to get better. positive changes take time after all. I wholeheartedly agree, any group that discriminates is scum; but it seems to me the worlds growing more hostile to these types of people :)
there's only the human race, we're all the earth's children
i don't get it it i'm white, but why are black people still oppressed especially in the south. i think if slevery was still legal in the deep south you will still have them. the KKK is really the scum of the earth. it should not matter what color your skin is, only if your heart is pure!
@johnny0g my opinion is that the problem isnt cause of the slavery, cause slavery is all over the world. the problem lies with the segregation, discrimination, and lack of equality and proper judgement of a man cause of the color of his skin
@BlackPride1000 i so agree. that's how i feel about the modern my little pony. they act like dorks compared to the older ones. it's boring :/ ! ! ! ! !
Powermusic/music. When this came out on vinyl way back in 70's, it was a hit! I was a 'plastic'hippie; meaning ; going to an Art Academy and working in a mental hospital. When I face todays world, NOTHING changed, it is even getting WORSE!! This song is still UP TO DATE!!!
The generation today has never heard good music so they can't identify it when exposed to it. They were exposed to videos which makes them susceptible to the visual only so they think women who wear costumes and look plastic and boys who's talent is overblown is good music.
so in 11th grade in modern world history class during summer school my teacher actually played this to describe the cultural aspects of the impoverished ghetto and their motives in those areas for protesting in the civil rights movements. all the other kids in my class sat and listened and i was the only one who sang along to myself cause i already knew all the words. talk about the head of the class.
BEFORE ALL THE ACTS WHO STOOD ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS,STEVIE WAS THE PIONEER!FORGET ALL THE MANUFACTURED ACTS WE HAVE NOW, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL......SUPER COOL!
MiAMi Dolphins LAME ASS Coach sent out a message 2All Dolfans-He said he needs you all at the stadium 2TALK 2YOURSELF ALOT &that the team needs your support &undying loyalty-He finished up with-We're going 2get there (GET THERE-WHERE?

True music of the soul. Universally appreciated and in tune with all of humanity; a true resonating harmonic fashioned for us by a once in a lifetime genius.
The 20th century Beethoven whose music will be appreciated for just as long, no doubt...
This song was radical for its time and still is head and shoulders above most Pop music today. How can anybody take artists like Chris Brown or Kanye West or Nikki Minaj seriously when they've grown up on records like this?
@kmars21 I'm well over 60 (68) and have followed Stevie's career from the get go. His music will no doubt outlast me! Along with the Beatles, Stevie changed contempory music for ever. Thanks to them all.
i'm having a moment here...i remember all the lyrics to each stevie wonder song i have listened to...his music will NEVER grow old. I love him with all my heart his sister's black but she is shonuf pretty.....my favorite part.....just enuf for the city....mmm her brothers smart, he's got more sense than many, but pretty soon he won't have any....MY GOD....he is a genius
Black, white, brown what have you. This song is simply speaking to those who know what it's like to struggle to make ends meet. No matter what your background if you grew up poor this song hits home.
Fantastic! As I lived as a young woman during this period I can tell you the lyrics are very realistic and represent all that was rotten in the cities of USA and many other major cities in the world.
Come on everybody calm down. This song wasn't written to offend anyone in particular it was written about what was occuring at the time in urban areas. Even if you can't relate to the message you can relate to the genius of the music without the lyrics. Either way it's Stevie at his best. People from all walks of life love him-
I thought the radio was going to play this & got excited but it turned out to be something else & it was like reliving the good old days. Who the hell would dislike this song?
Hey, I love Stevie Wonder (he's sooo great) but not everyone does. I can't stand almost all country music - yick - so I don't seek it out (ever). Oh well, different strokes, as they say.
what the hell is wrong with anybody with a problem with this song........it has a message that moves me and should move you.........stevie is the best, common
@The4JAMDUDE4 for one thing it's close to 40 years old, and secondly because good music like this has been replaced by rap crap!! oh and also because stevie wonder has about a million hit songs out there :) glad u like it
@The4JAMDUDE4 yeah, right??? i was around 7 years old when it came out so that really puts it into perspective for me. as a very young girl this song actually scared me. but so did "ironman" by black sabbath. LOL
Steve Wonder is the master of making lovely hits that remain in our hearts & souls forever & effects everyone from every culture throughout our world.
@JBOtheMAN13 If you like this CD (Innervisins) you would love "Songs in the Key of Life" and "Talking Book". Trust me, Stevie's music will change your views on lfe and love.
@luvtotruck I live in the suburbs, and you're right - I've never heard this before. In fact, I just heard Mr. Wonder's music for the very first time last week. It is really marvelous, you know. I wish all of us suburbanites would listen to music like this, because we are so ignorant and r*cist. It is too bad Jack Benny and Bob Hope are gone now, because they could do duets with Mr. Wonder. What a great collaboration between cultures.
@directech111 Bob Hope, Jack Benny but never heard Stevie Wonder? What does "all of us suburbanites" mean anyway? that actually sounds racist, I live in the suburbs and I don't know anyone who doesn't like Stevie Wonder or even Eddie Murphy doing Stevie Wonder, STEVIE IS A MUSICAL GENIUS! I bet more people know of Stevie Wonder then the vice president of the USA
@directech111 I always thought Stevie Wonder and Lawrence Welk would have been a great duo. LOL!! Everyone has heard of Stevie Wonder no matter where you live. Even in "Hardtimes, Mississippi".
@Bamaboompa I'll clarify. There are some "urban" (?) singers that I think are pretty decent. Give me suggestions & I'll listen. It's the ones that come stomping up on stage like gang bangers and just yell crap and scratch vinyl that I can't stand. I put it in the same category as headbangers and the metal my son listens to. Doesn't take talent to bang chords on a bass and guitar and scream at the top of your lungs. But that's just my opinion.
@Bamaboompa Definitely agree, i think metal in general doesn't require much talent but the people who play it must have talent otherwise they wouldn't be able to play much of anything. Banging chords doesn't make the music but its the rhythmn and overall feel. The feel of someone screaming at the top of their lungs like you say isn't my style.
@Bamaboompa What are you talking about "Crap"? Rap is pretty good. i'll say anything from 2004 to now is crap. But, have you heard of Tupac or Nas. People who rap about public issues. They rap about what goes on in the world. If it wasn't for "Crap" as you call it I wouldn't be on this video. Stevie inspired a lot of artist.
@jamice10000 Everybody's got an opinion about music - ours are different. Grabbing your crotch and yelling about "public issues" is not my idea of music. James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Guy made fantastic music about "pubic issues" . Temptations "Ball of Confusion" is a masterpiece and still has meaning today.
@Bamaboompa Grabbing your crotch makes you a rapper? And here I thought Michael Jackson was a pop artist. But, even he made good points in his songs. All I'm saying is you can't really judge a genre you know nothing about. That crotch thing is a stereotype.
One of the greatest songs EVER! Period.

@JBOtheMAN13 If you like this CD (Innervisins) you would love "Songs in the Key of Life" and "Talking Book". Trust me, Stevie's music will change your views on lfe and love.

@luvtotruck I live in the suburbs, and you're right - I've never heard this before. In fact, I just heard Mr. Wonder's music for the very first time last week. It is really marvelous, you know. I wish all of us suburbanites would listen to music like this, because we are so ignorant and r*cist. It is too bad Jack Benny and Bob Hope are gone now, because they could do duets with Mr. Wonder. What a great collaboration between cultures.

@directech111 Bob Hope, Jack Benny but never heard Stevie Wonder? What does "all of us suburbanites" mean anyway? that actually sounds racist, I live in the suburbs and I don't know anyone who doesn't like Stevie Wonder or even Eddie Murphy doing Stevie Wonder, STEVIE IS A MUSICAL GENIUS! I bet more people know of Stevie Wonder then the vice president of the USA
Also spelling r*cist? whats with that? get real!

@directech111 I always thought Stevie Wonder and Lawrence Welk would have been a great duo. LOL!! Everyone has heard of Stevie Wonder no matter where you live. Even in "Hardtimes, Mississippi".

@Bamaboompa I'm not sure what your son listens to but I can assure you there are alot of very talented musicians in the metal scene.

Okay, so I'm an old white guy. From the South even. But I listen to this, and "Ball of Confusion" and pretty much anything by Curtis Mayfield.
Then I hear (C)rap music and I just don't get it.

@Bamaboompa I invite you to try. Curtis got his direction from Stevie. This is an invitation to participate. Let's t ry it out.

@Bamaboompa I'll clarify. There are some "urban" (?) singers that I think are pretty decent. Give me suggestions & I'll listen. It's the ones that come stomping up on stage like gang bangers and just yell crap and scratch vinyl that I can't stand. I put it in the same category as headbangers and the metal my son listens to. Doesn't take talent to bang chords on a bass and guitar and scream at the top of your lungs. But that's just my opinion.
Like I said, make a suggestion and I'll listen.

@Bamaboompa look up the video "Jazz (We've Got)" by A Tribe Called Quest.

@Bamaboompa Definitely agree, i think metal in general doesn't require much talent but the people who play it must have talent otherwise they wouldn't be able to play much of anything. Banging chords doesn't make the music but its the rhythmn and overall feel. The feel of someone screaming at the top of their lungs like you say isn't my style.

@Bamaboompa What are you talking about "Crap"? Rap is pretty good. i'll say anything from 2004 to now is crap. But, have you heard of Tupac or Nas. People who rap about public issues. They rap about what goes on in the world. If it wasn't for "Crap" as you call it I wouldn't be on this video. Stevie inspired a lot of artist.

@jamice10000 Everybody's got an opinion about music - ours are different. Grabbing your crotch and yelling about "public issues" is not my idea of music. James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Guy made fantastic music about "pubic issues" . Temptations "Ball of Confusion" is a masterpiece and still has meaning today.
Rap is just crap.

@Bamaboompa Grabbing your crotch makes you a rapper? And here I thought Michael Jackson was a pop artist. But, even he made good points in his songs. All I'm saying is you can't really judge a genre you know nothing about. That crotch thing is a stereotype.
