Stevie Wonder - I was made to love her - LIVE London Part 12

[THEPINKFLOYDIANS]

Puts a smile on your face :-) Thanks Stevie x

[swlabr21]

Cool.

[Guitaresque101]

all time fav stevie song...

[johntechwriter]

Great music is timeless.

[TheMicsha23]

King!

[TheHandyexperience]

Stevie is the man, and Nate Watts was going forth!!!!!

[kaotix76]

1:16 that man is GETTIN IT! lol

[cola414]

Breathtaking!!

[gam90000]

The bassman is Nate Watts. He is Stevie's long time musical director/chief of staff and a Jamerson contemporary. Stevie would NOT have no bullshit musicians in his band.

[maseo96]

@gam90000 Damn right there, but Nate is also the shit)))))))

[IMAWriterRobJ]

Stevie, and Motown in general are still America's greatest gifts to pop music, with apologies to Elvis.

Hey folks, don't forget another great bassist...with whom I had a chance to briefly work with...Chuck Rainey.

This song is as good as it will EVER get.

[joshthorne]

Cummon.....James Jamerson would be turning in his grave the way this guy murders what is a brilliant and classic bassline!!!

[whytelynes]

Bass! Yeah, that is one BIG dude, tho. Look at the bass in his hands, it's tiny! He sure can play, and he's probly capable of being even more "metronomically" correct than Jamerson, but there is no comparing them because nobody even THOUGHT of playing bass that way until Jamerson did it (except maybe Carol Kaye, lol). How can you ever compare the 38th guy to play something to the first? Who remembers the 38th guy to land on the moon, right?

[optimusdime]

Nate Watts killing it on the bass!

[CFoyle1993]

awesome performance! stevie till i die!

[jaytrain]

Stevie wonder and Michael Jackson need like big ass shrines everywhere

[dbowie007]

Unlike "music" now, in Stevie Wonder's time, you had to be great musician like Stevie to sell millions of records. Now, all you have to do is use every cuss word in the book and not even know how to play an instrument. My what a sunny slope we have risen to now. Miss those days of Stevie, Marvin, Curtis Mayfield, etc.

[guitarguru01]

Is that third backup singer Carlton?!

[thankgodjohn]

@guitarguru01 No his name is Keith John HAHA

[dbowie007]

I remember hearing this song on AM radio, and it is as great today as ever...and so is Stevie Wonder! And who wrote the bass line for the song? Motown.

[Jaguar9310]

there's no substitute for james jamerson, never will be.

[15alzaeem9]

دخلو في البراتمممم

OMG great

[Danno21F]

God Almighty, Stevie Wonder is exciting. What a talent.

[greeneiys]

This is the first song that made my heart beat fast n I am 55 today

I hear those harmonica notes n my heart starts racing. You rock Stevie

[meeshay2000]

I absolutely love this song!

[65mj65]

That was an EXCELLENT performance!! Stevie is the best!!

[haweye79]

This show was tight and stevie wasin rare form...

[kkamins]

only one jamerson ....

[MsJoy4ever]

Background singers dancing, lol

[dwightfc]

Stevie was in downtown Nassau Bahamas about 7 years ago and almost caused a riot. I loved this song ever since i was a boy. Stevie sang and wrote numerous hit but this song is my favorite.

[Stevieboy130664]

I'd love to be able to play that bassline as well as Nate

[Zaul2410]

Bass Player on fire!!

[reeblite]

the bassline on this song is bomb.

[Jimx27]

his voice sounds deeper than on track he made younger

[Carolinaparati]

Is that debarge on back ups?

[ALTERED13TH]

Stevie Wonder is one of the most talented musicians ever. He compares with all the greats in jazz and classical music. Mozart could have related to Stevie Wonder.

[welder541]

OUTSTANDING!!!!! This guy's still got it. The feeling in the voice is still there. I love it:):):):) 5+++++ Thanks i really enjoyed this alot.

[JamieWilliamsAus]

what can u say? that would even get close to how you really feel about this remarkable mans music? i try but my words never feel enough... im glad i lived in the same era as you stevie... when im down, and all alone in my room, you never fail to pick me up and have me punching the air as if i have just won ten million dollars......

[Tezman82]

Damn, that bass player is outta control.

[dtsecofr21]

Looks like the great Motown bassist Nathan Watts.

[SwedishBass]

That's Nate for ya!

[proud2Bprude]

Amazing Stevie how great thou' art!

[CrAzzyWak]

I still don't understand how a man who never seen light in his life can shine so much.

[dancalvin1983]

its in his mind

[SONGABUNDANCE128]

Cause it's not what you see it's what you feel.

[jbyesterday]

This should be the final encore for any concert there is. What a killer song......this version with Stevie's soulful out pour & drive,& that smoking Bass bustin' out, is a beautiful total package that even Mr. Jamerson would be proud. Great song!

[TheBboh61]

Oh hell yes! If only all musical acts had the chops that Stevie has, they could ALL end their shows with this gem!!!!

[Entertainmentwriter]

Genius beyond compare.

[zarakhast]

I LOVE the harmonica intro. Why it's sometimes left out I don't understand : it's sets the ecstatic tone and yet sometimes it's left out.

Stevie Wonder is SO good it's hard to say how good.

[YoungRato1]

Absolutely glorious

[77lespaul77]

The lyric seems random, but Stevie sings every word exactly like on the 1967 recording. Amazing!

[Entertainmentwriter]

So extraordinary. Can you just imagine what it must have been like in Motown those days when these geniuses were writing this amazing, timeless music.?Wow. Nothing like it now. Not even close.

[srf1969]

This was a great song in concert.

[minalow8]

hes so pimp [:P

lol

[swf]

Classic.

Nathan watt's bass is great too.

[jameldion]

dope...

[detayl03]

The Greatest Song Writer Ever!!!!!! Period!!!!

[dwightfc]

@detayl03

I loved this song ever since I was a little boy and I'm 45

[Mazinga]

the bassman does a very good Jamerson-like job.

[reeblite]

@Mazinga jamerson has more depth than this player.

[Mazinga]

@reeblite

No doubt, I totally agree with you, but he does a very good job, too;D

[Paulonbass75]

@Mazinga Nathan Watts is a great bassist in his own right. He grew up watching Jamerson.

[SkidRowJosephine]

@Mazinga Without the bass guitar - most of Wonder's big-name hits wouldn't exist..

[dropjawbertone]

@Mazinga In fact, Nathan Watts said he and James Jamerson were very close... Nate even called him "dad" affectionately.

[Mazinga]

@dropjawbertone hi dropja, thank you very much for this interesting info. didn't know that. amazing how much an infuence can be heard.

[motowninvestor]

Steve: The Movie!

"my baby loves me"

[JosephNScott]

Slutsky wrote in '95 that "IWMTLH" must have been recorded in '66 or '67, i.e. as of then he didn't think he knew what date it was recorded. But in '00 he wrote that he had received copies of CK's handwritten logs from the '60s 13 years earlier (i.e. 8 years before 1995), and that on "hits she claims to have played on, Carol's log always was at odds" re the dates. ("Always.") Hmmmm, that raises the interesting question, When did Slutsky begin believing he knew what date "IWMTLH" was recorded?

[dancalvin1983]

love this guyy

[jodie19902008]

he can play the shit out ov that harmonica hes classsss

[Risimif]

Sure a very nice interpretation of that song.

The bassist's quite awesome. But it just doesn't sound the same. I have never heard anybody playing the Jamerson basslines like Jamerson and I guess nobody will ever be able to do that.

[alfonzemefesto]

You're right, no one will sound like Jamerson. Nonetheless, this bassist's interpretation is sick. He was able to make the bassline his own while capturing the feel of the original.

[DiscoHank]

Yeah, that's Stevie's boy, Nate Watts. He played on "As" and all those funky things. He's one of those Detroit cats who came up under Jamerson. I like his interpretation, plus we gotta remember Nate Watts is an artist himself and probably wanted to get Jamersons feel and be himself at the same time

[Back0Pack]

Nate Watts is the Truth!!

[kinggerick]

He is blind fool

[MGillDesign]

Amazing how at 38yrs old (1989)..he can sing identical to his voice at 16 (1967) with ease.

[InteractiveMail]

The Bass run at 2:00 is so hawt! Jamerson would have been pleased.

[paladarnegrorock]

jamerson is awsome, so is nathan watts

[amplitudedude77]

Sweet Jesus,I love this man! Thank you Stevie for that incredible song! I can listen to this 5 times in a row, and I need more.Jamming bassist too! Wow!I am in awe. Thanks for posting my favorite Stevie Wonder song,(and live yet)!! Thank you!

[mrm4xim4m]

DAAAAAAMMMMMMN this is soooooo uplifting ! :)

[4488656]

he looks exhausted... poor guy... how ironic i'm pitying a rich guy.

[malicant123]

This is an awesome song. I LOVE playing it on bass :).

[executerscrypt]

brutha at 1:17 gettin it lol

[liquidgroove]

Such a tune! At 1:17 the male backing singer is bustin' some funky dance moves! Yehh!

[mojo81]

Just take a look at "Stool pigeon" live by Kid Creole for some funky dancing!! :-D

[dancalvin1983]

love this guy

[goonie79]

[akmusicall]

[thinkucandoit]

Sweet Jesus,I love this man! Thank you Stevie for that incredible song! I can listen to this 5 times in a row, and I need more.Jamming bassist too! Wow!I am in awe. Thanks for posting my favorite Stevie Wonder song,(and live yet)!! Thank you!

[angiekat29]

STEVIE IS AWESOME!

[bpnewmannj]

I am a huge Stevie fan...but what's with the 101 Dalmation look?

[jtcfc]

it was the 80's!

[08Kabbotta80]

He's blind, it would be hard to fault him for "style"? Maybe it FELT really good... ;-)

[1TRUEJUNGLIST]

na your jokeing aint ya, he's not blind? peoples comments "like yours" i find so stupid u must b e DEF! as well as dumb

[dankeewolnir4042]

thats pimpin in 1989....and yet he would be cool in over-alls and a straw hat...thats a bad futher-mucker

[yhn1inc]

That's right. Only a jackass would crack on Stevie's threads. He's a legend. Clothes ain't shit.

[haweye79]

I remember the first time I heard this joint back in like 67-68 on one of thoughs small box turn tables..Yea!!

[thankgodjohn]

GREAT!!!

[sugarmice]

What a Great Song! Stevie IS a WONDER
