[@jeffsherman91]

Stevie Wonder is a very normal, down-to-earth guy. MANY years ago (early 80's), a friend and I went out for a late night snack in Beverly Hills (I grew up there) after a night at a local dance club (we called them "discos" back then, and my friend was the DJ). There was a purple stretch limo double-parked out front, and in the large corner booth near the front door was Prince and his entourage, including "Chick" his huge bouncer. All with the "Look, but don't get near" attitude. While standing in line for a table, a few people behind me is Stevie Wonder and a friend of his. Standing in line with everyone else, waiting for a table. He ended up being seated literally right behind me, back to back against the back of the booth. Some fan came up and sheepishly asked him for an autograph, and not only did he sign it, but when the fan started walking away, he called him back and started talking to him for quite a while. When we left (we were done first), I saw his white and gold Rolls Royce parked in a meter half a block away. Whereas Prince wouldn't sign autographs or even allow fans to get near, and double-parked his big limo out front, Steve Wonder parked down the block and walked, waited on line like a normal human being, and then not just signed an autograph but was interested in talking to his fan. Classy guy, and I'll always remember the difference between the two of them.

[@davidcosta2244]

I've heard many stories of how much of a Richard Cranium Prince was. Yes, he did get mob by fans, but embrace it, because they made him what he was.

[@DianeJennings]

😂 I guess we all start a little. Seems he was a proper prodigy! Very cool.

[@jpmnewyork]

Stevie Wonder has an incredibly long and storied career and body of work. Three of his albums in particular are absolutely essential for a deep dive: "Innervisions" (1973), "Fulfillingness' First Finale" (1974) and "Songs In The Key of Life" (1976). They are three of the most amazing albums ever made, and the fact that he wrote and recorded them all in succession within a four-year period is staggering.

[@RayBosan62]

Stevie Wonder is truly a music legend! I consider myself extremely lucky to have gone to the Forum in Los Angeles on May 13, 2011 to see Prince in concert and be blown away when Stevie Wonder guest performed with him! Since May 13 is Stevie Wonder's birthday, Prince lead everyone in the Forum in singing "Happy Birthday" for Stevie. Getting to hear and see Stevie Wonder perform "Superstition" live was amazing. Then, by some incredible good fortune years later, I actually got to meet Stevie Wonder in person at the Disneyland Hotel (where I used to work) and shook his hand! I have never been more starstruck in my life! 🤩🎼🎶🎵🎹

[@farfromperfek]

As you know Stevie wrote this for Jeff Beck after hearing Jeff fooling around on the drums, he was fooling around waiting for Stevie. Even though Jeff isn't a drummer Stevie liked the grove and say down to an electric piano and came up with his part. He told Jeff he would add lyrics and give it to him record. When he recorded it and sent the demo to Jeff. Stevie decided it was a big hit and ended up releasing it before Jeff did.

[@DianeJennings]

Oof 😥

[@ignatzmuskrat3000]

No worries. He gave Jeff, Cos We Ended As Lovers, instead, which Beck turned into a sublime instrumental, guaranteed to make one cry.

[@AaronJoseph-t4b]

Actually, the late great Jeff Beck came up with the hook on guitar & played it for Stevie & wanted to collaborate but Stevie couldn't wait for an apre Po time & claimed writing credit,Jeff never held it against him & they performed it live together

[@janagebhardt4560]

Also no worries.....Jeff Beck was part of a power trio in the 70's with Tim Bogart and Carmine Appice...Beck, Bogart, and Appice. They did a cover of 'Superstition' that was OK....but they did a Japanese tour that indluded an live album - released only in Japan. I was stationed in Japan at the time (1974-75) and bought one and heard a FANTASTIC version of 'Superstition' on it.....

Lady Diane has a nice ring to it. Stevie Wonder was ubiquitous on the radio during the 70's and 80's - lots of great music, Jeff Beck is a guitar god, his songs don't typically have lyrics but are a great jam, such songs as Freeway Jam and Cause We've Ended as Lovers-written by Stevie Wonder, and his cover of the Beatles song A Day In The Life are a good listen. He recently passed in 2023 at 78

Steve Wonder's Superstition became our song as we danced to this song with my girl friend who then became my wife. She was on a holiday in Istanbul and we went to a very popular disco in those days. At the time we didn't know who the musician was, but when the holiday ended she went back to Leeds, UK and after a bit of research she found the album and told me that she bought the album and it was Steve Wonder. How excited we were !🥰 That was year 1978
