There are certain songs that carry their own atmosphere and hit such an emotional nerve that they're actually capable of taking you somewhere. This is one of those songs.

Some songs are not meant to be seen in a live performance, and this is one of them. The lyrics are SO powerful that anything visual takes attention away from them. This song is not meant to be a "groove", but to be listened to, with the message taken seriously. On the record you can hear Stevie's pain and anger loud and clear.

I was there is the audience for this session but real recording of this was on Jan3rd. they often played the same clips for weeks afterwards. Stevie wonder played live at the this session when I walked in he was playing at the piano just for the hell of it. Never realised it was him til someone came up and led him away so that the recording could begin.

He actually played about 3 songs he loved to perform even though only 1 song would get played. he did superstition and mary superwoman?.

@bluesbrother37 And that goes fro the Movie industry as well. Anyone who has memories of the 1960's and 1970's must feel lucky, I do.
