1962 Little Stevie Wonder was discovered by Miracles member Ronnie White and was brought to Motown where he was signed to Tamla, his first single "I Call It Pretty Music" parts 1 & 2 released as Tamla 54061
And by the way, this song was not included on one of his early albums, it was released as a single, but it was released on a CD called "Essential Stevie Wonder" released only in the UK.
And speaking of the Yesteryear label, the song "I Call It Pretty Music, But the Old People Call It the Blues" was Stevie's first single for Tamla, but it didn't do well on the charts until "Fingertips (Part 2)" became his first big hit the following year.
Wow! A rare stereo version on the Motown Yesteryear year. I guess the Motown Yesteryear label was a label for reissuing Motown singles featuring songs from so many Motown artists on a 45. I have plenty of 45's under the "Yesteryear" name. I remember a music store called The Wall used to sell 45's. Sadly it was closed down.
Check out the video response, that's Part 1

This is really a good, bluesy tune!

I've just thought. In fact, by doing it this way I'm introduced to more great music rather than just the old favourites.

I agree.
Great vids, though.

You should put the title of the song at the top, as well as the artist.
I've been meaning to say this for ages.
