i kinda wished i'd of wrote, played, and sang this one. oh man he can sing. listen to it. listen to all of it. you talk about being down with it on the true rythem and blues, check it out. listen to it loud on headphones late at night in your bed with the lights out. late at night, dig it.
i am a white male born and bred in birmingham 53 years old loved steve from the first time i heard he has been my hero eva scince, noone has and ever will beat his sheer genius his music will allways be around, it has meaning who cares if the great unwashed never here his message ME
it's one of those things i don't even try to figure out how he does it. i try to figure out why it takes me where it does and why i imagine, as well as imitate, that i write these songs myself....you know, for someone to say and sing what i'm trying to say, but do not know how...
dear juniorfats: you said it!! i've been listening to this man since around 1972 when i was kid listening to late night radio out of AM radio 89 WLS out of chicago. your the 2nd person i've heard call him a genius. i think the first was former vice president AL Gore's wife.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this! The breakdown from 3:59 onwards is genius, listen to his keywork on the organ, you couldn't play that if you tried!!
Whoever disliked this track OBVIOUSLY does not understand what real music is... It's quite sad. They probably think "FUNK" is nothing more than what comes out their underarms.
@johnniewalker23.. ILOOVE U Johnnie u have allowed me to appreciate stevie wonder more than i ever thought i would since 08... i remeber trying to find jesus children right after watching the Purtsuit of Happyness and coming across the song via your upload THANK U SOOOO MUCH!!! b4 i only knew cherie amour and other mainstream but his music is a part of my blood now THANK U
I was touched first by Stevie, when I was a boy of only 9 or 10. I heard his "I was made to love you". Since this day I collected all of his records and I never regret it, because his music is a big part of real all school soul and funk music at it's best.More than 40 years later I can hear all of his tunes and enjoy them like they have been released today - with which crap of today you can do it similar?Stevie is outstandig heritage of the black americans - respect! (from me as whitie, 58.)
I'm definitely OL SKool. Stevie and I were born in the same year. He is truly "genius" While I don't particularly care for R. Kelly, I still consider him one of the TOP talents in the industry - He could at least be in the same paragraph as Stevie. Many youngsters are talented today - It's just that TODAY doesn't demand talent, unfortunatelly. Mediocrity is OK.
WTF?!?! stevie could play piano fucking good and sing at the same time and make improvisations and what does R.KELLY can??!!??! singing like a raped baby and dancing around worse...
@thekid09406 R Kelly is a genius and great singer. The ONLY reason you hate on Kelly now is cause of the pedophile thing. If he didn't film himself doing that disgusting stuff you would be a fan. I do not like him as a person, not after pissing on 15 year old girls. However I seperate his music from his character.
@ENJ4321 I'll give respect for R. Kelly as a musical singer, his character is terrible as you said. HOWEVER, he still isn't even near the level of Stevie Wonder, whom is not only a living legend but a musical genius in the true sense of the word.
Along with Summer Soft, this has to be my favourite Stevie track. Gritty and soulful, I love the raw feeling in the track. This is archetypal early 70s Stevie.
OMG!!!!!!! THIS IS UNADULTERATED STEVIE WONDER... ONLY STEVIE COULD CREATE SOMETHING THIS INTENSE>>> YES YES YES..... YOU ARE THE BOMB>>> THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... can you post "ORDINARY PAIN"?
