Here's a few "ingredients" for you: Stevie Wonder on Lead & Background vocals, and ALL instruments; Deniece Williams & the late Minnie Riperton on Background vocals. Think about it.........Was there ANY WAY this song could have failed........really? My only regret was that Stevie never released it as a "single". It was definitely one of the premiere highlights of the "Fulfillingness, First Finale" album.........an album with NOTHING BUT HIGHLIGHTS!
was gonna get in touch with my ex who isplit with 2 months ago and listened to this ! thanks Stevie for putting things in respective i now know why i love your songs and lyrics so meaningful ! i just need to meet a man who appreciates Stevie like i do x
An ex-girlfriend asked me to listen to this song because she couldn't say it any better about breaking up with me. To this day my eyes well up when i hear this.
@reyuvsun I guess Stevie represented alot of us who wanted out. It opened my eyes, but it still took me years to tell my husband I wanted a divorce. It's better to be alone than to be unhappy with someone. She may have done you a favor. Let go of the pain.
@DoomCity202 i dont know why ur comment struck me enuf to reply but i liked what ya said and i agree about women bein emotionally beaten up...maybe that's why. thank you doomcity
I'm living this situation now. I haven't been able to stop listening to this song for days because it hits so hard, every line, every ounce of emotion he puts in this song. This is my favorite song from my favorite Stevie Wonder album. <3
I JUST DISCOVERED THIS SONG THREE DAYS AGO & THOUGHT TO MYSELF, " WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN MISSING. I HAVE "SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE". IT'S A WONDERFUL ALBUM. WHEN I HEARD THIS I WAS LIKE OMG COULD HE DO ANY WRONG MUSICLY? I LOVE YOU STEVIE WONDER. CONGRATS ON ALL THE GRAMMY'S
'songs in the key of life' is probably my most favorite stevie wonder album but 'fulfillingness first finale' is also right up there. I give it a 9 outa 10!! this is another one of my favs. on this record..wonder can do no wrong!!!
I have in the hallway of my new apartment in Haverhill , Suffolk , England a glass frame of Stevies 4 finest album covers , Music, Talking, Inner & Finale , my fav 4 albums ever , i will see them everytime i come home , how amazing is that , THANKYOU STEVIE
We've all had are heart broken...This song pulled me through that trying, and dark,part of my life...STEVIE,NOBODY DOES IT BETTER...Truly 'Innervisions'...
For those of you out there who have continued to listen to Stevies' absolutely brilliant album "Fullfillingness First Finale" over the years as I have, you'll recognize that this tune "It Aint No Use", is simply a slice a musical "Heaven"! The genius of Stevie, combined with the angelic background support of the late Minnie Riperton & Deniece Williams is, musically, as good as it gets......period! I've always loved this song, and I adore the pure genius of Mr. Wonder, truly one of Gods' chosen.
Although this and many of his albums were out before my birth...tthis album actually saved my life (besides the jacksons 76 album) he sung the soul down to the core with this song!!! anyone who has a heart could understand this here!!
I must have played this album millions of times....over and over in the hot, hot summer. The harmonies just blew me away and still do! thanks for putting it up. i can't help but smile when I hear it all again.
Me Too. I'm Listening To My Vinyl Copy Right Now, I Try To Hip As Many People Onto This Cut As Possible, Because It's Very Well Slept On And Just Awesome As Well As This Whole Album.
Thanks for posting this album. I haven't listened to it for years, but I used to listen to this track over and over in my younger days. Stevie is and always has been the greatest!
Stevie Wonder is just downright amazing. It seems like in some of his songs God is actually speaking to us through Stevie's music...check some of his lyrics
Stevie Wonder is too real. His song writing is awesome and his singing cannot be topped. I'm playing this again and again and again. Then I'mma go out and buy the CD so I can BLAST it on the weekends!
I never want to say "Bye bye bye bye bye" to you Stevie. I love you, you're the best at what you do. Thank GOD there's only one Stevland Hardaway Judkins Morris!!!!!!!!!
If you think this is the baddest album by him,,,,,check out "The Song in the Key of Life" I'm going to order this cd. I used to listen to this whole album bitd. Had forgotten about this song.
"Thank you so very much for this one Johnnie Walker". Even though "Superwoman" was a lead in song for "Where Were You When I Needed You", this one could've been a nice lead in to that same song.
Nope, this is Minnie Riperton, Deniece Williams, Lani Groves and Shirley Brewer on the background vocals. You can't mistake Minnie's voice... it always shines through anything she lent it to. Jackie Jackson and J5 lent their vocals to You Haven't Done Nothing (Doo Wop).
michael sang background on 'all i do' (on 'hotter than july'), and 'you haven't done nothing', but not this one, as far as i know... i love this album!!! STEVIE IS THE GREATEST ARTIST TO EVER LIVE, IN THE WHOLE PLANET!!!
This LP is the middle child of the three Grammy Album of the Year awards he snagged from 1973-1976. #1 on the national charts. Those were the days when Stevie was heard and seen everywhere, everyone wanted to record with him, play with him, or cover his masterpieces. he also found time to co-produce and co-write a chunk of Minnie Riperton's 1975 "Perfect Angle" as 'El Toro Negro'.
i agree about this song being great stevie is our modern day beethoven but don't dis the lakers kobe bryant is the best in the league he just needs a little more help the celtics suck
man! I am die hard fucking lakers bro! My son name is KOBE brother, that fucking bench just lack fuckin passion, man don't talk bout basketball we me again, 24pt lead in a NBA finals game THE CELTICS DERSERVED THEIR RINGS, cunt!
nothing personal, aint nobody think that Kobe is the best more than brendonkas!
The atmosphere Stevie creates is mindblowing,the best group of albums ever written, Stevies first 4 solo albums,anyone that knows anything about music will tell you so,ask Mr Trevor Nelson.
This is the good side of the tube..
