This is an amazing video of a very rare small club appearance by one of History's most amazing talents, Stevie Wonder. This was completely unplanned, spontaneous, unexpected and UNBELIEVABLE for the 150 people who were enjoying the music of the West Coast's Supertaster, part of San Francisco's Jazz Mafia, a collaborative of amazing Jazz, Hip-Hop, Electronic and Rock musicians. Stevie was in town for a little vacation and wanted to go check out some local music in a "not huge" venue and was recommended by a friend to check out the Jazz Mafia who was performing at a new Jazz venue called Coda which had only been open for a few months. Stevie walked in at 1am, enjoyed the music for about 40 minutes and then was apparently so moved by the band's rendition of John Lennon (and Donny Hathaway's version) of the song "Jealous Guy", that he came to the stage and wanted to say a few words. Lucky for the band, this happens to be one of Stevie's favorite songs and he told a touching story about what it meant to him for a minute. Without really any discussion, the band launched into a version of the rare B-side "All Day Sucker" which blended into the beautiful song " I can't Help it: which Stevie wrote for Michael Jackson while he was in San Francisco, strangely enough (he even mention's it in this version while he's singing!)
