[@JimboKM]

As far as quantity of great songs composed, Stevie Wonder is up there with Paul McCartney. Pick anything from the early 70's and you can't go wrong. Living For The City should blow your mind.

[@markadolph8715]

If you do this song ,you MUST do the full album version. The shorter radio version truncates it tragically

[@bwcbiz]

Nomination of Living for the City seconded, FWIW.

[@dancarter482]

@@bwcbiz _CHILLS_ from the first bar on .... ...

[@JJLewis-so1iq]

Agreed. That's what i was going to recommend

[@MultiCatPass]

you need a deep deep dive into Stevie Wonder's songs He's a musical genius.

[@absea7918]

Stevie Wonder is on another level. His music was so universal, he opened for the Rolling Stones on their giant 1972 US tour - everyone loved his music. A true genius. His next 3 albums after Talking Book (Innvervisions through Songs in the Key of LIfe) are legendary.

[@imp736]

I was at that show in Indianapolis, Ind. It was one of the best concerts I have ever attended. Stevie received 2 standing ovations, and when his performance was completed, and the Stones came onstage, you could tell they were thinking, how are we going to best that.

[@marjoarendse5706]

Fun fact: Stevie Wonder played all the instruments on this except the brass section 😊❤

[@Bless-cs9ct]

Fun fact : stevie isn't really blind

[@randomtruths3400]

Even funner fact... famed guitarist Jeff Beck came up with the opening drum beat and inspired the whole song...

[@arijitsengupta9766]

​@@Bless-cs9cthe is fully blind.

[@Bless-cs9ct]

@@arijitsengupta9766 no he isn't. Just search it on youtube. You'll see plenty of instances of him being 'not blind' by accident.

[@arijitsengupta9766]

@@Bless-cs9ct that is the problem. You are seeing certain KZbin videos and coming to this conclusion. Do you know the fact? Also, you feel that a person pretend from birth? You don't have to tell me about KZbin videos. I know the intention of some stupid uploaders, they do nothing good in their lives. There are plenty of facts available to find out for yourself. It is very easy to ridicule those with disability till it hits you.

[@simonwilliams9200]

It’s hard to truly understand the brilliance of Stevie Wonder. Definitely do more of his music. I grew up with it. You will never be disappointed by any of his work.

[@bob_._.]

For the best ever live version of this, look up the video of his performance on Sesame Street. Seriously. Other Stevie songs - "Living for the City" "Isn't She Lovely" "Sir Duke" "Higher Ground" - basically just throw a dart at his discography and listen to the one it hits.

[@rebeccalipps23]

I said the same dart thing in my comment just now without having seen this. Great minds...

[@stevenseul361]

Why does everyone forget "I wish" ?

[@donlawson3330]

He owned the Grammys for the whole decade.

[@cadleo]

His performance of this song on Sesame Street was epic

[@Lakeshore14]

There is a great documentary called “Hitsville: The Story of Motown”. In it they tell the story of how Stevie Wonder began working with Motown at age 11. That’s why he was originally called Little Stevie Wonder. He was like a sponge and absorbed everything he could from the Motown Band, the Funk Brothers. He quickly learned how to play every instrument and by 14 he was writing hit songs. He is definitely a musical genius. He is so talented and has won dozens of awards and Grammys. Two of his biggest selling albums were Songs In The Key of Life and Talking Book. He is definitely a national treasure. Thank you for this reaction. 👏👏

[@letstalk1050]

Thank you for informing others about that documentary. I have watched over and over and it still get chills. Especially when he improvised finger tips at the apollo. Even the band was amazed

[@Lakeshore14]

@@letstalk1050 Yes, you’re right. The Apollo band was in awe. 👍

[@wolfmama7879]

Stevie is also a blind singer. He was born prematurely in which caused retinopathy because he was in a incubator that was enriched with too much oxygen which caused his retinal atrophy and they detached.

[@dranet47]

Stevie Wonder crossed genres from the beginning of his career. He's well loved, and for good reason.

[@kriskammeraad3955]

I believe Stevie ray Vaughan does a cover of this song too .

[@violetflame23]

Stevie Wonder - possibly the most underrated musician/singer/songwriter ever. His music is so heartfelt and soulful. He's a national treasure.

[@the_nikster1]

PLEASE do more Stevie Wonder. I recommend “I Wish” and “ I Just Called to Say I Love You” but literally every song he’s ever made is pure brilliance. ❤

[@beedeegee9374]

I recommend “As”.

[@danellacoffey5836]

Lately is a favourite of mine

[@mikefetterman6782]

Stevie is amazing, part Little Richard, part Ray Charles, part James Brown with some Sly and the Family stone mixed in. He was unstoppable in the 70s when it came to RnB.

[@coltaine503]

Sad thing to say but if this is the 1st time for him to hear Stevie Wonder he has not heard any of the other artists you mentioned. I count myself fortunate that I grew up listening to these phenomenal artists.

[@kevinwalsh9788]

This is one of Steve's best but most songs of his are masterpieces. " Sir Duke " will floor you.

[@scm0717]

AMEN! This IS the beginning of what funk-rock sounded like. You picked a great song to listen to first your first time reacting to Stevie Wonder.

[@wow_horac4663]

The keyboard sound on this song is so iconic.

[@cadleo]

Living For the City is the best second song to react too from Stevie. Also incredible but shows more of a range.

[@jodij6280]

Some of my favorite songs are (in order): Pastime Paradise, Living For the City, Sir Duke, As, I Wish, Higher Ground, Master Blaster, For Once in My Life, My Cherie Amour, Do I Do, Overjoyed, Ribbon in the Sky, Send One Your Love. Like in the beginning of your channel, listen to The Definitive Collection album in it's entirety. You won't regret it.

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Couldn't have chosen a better Stevie song- it's a masterpiece. If you can't feel this song course through your body, you don't have a soul. He was/is a genius that could play, write and sing everything.

[@324cmac]

Stevie signed with Motown when he was 11 years old. When he turned 21, he threatened to leave. His terms for staying? He wanted full creative control. No interference from Berry Gordy. Berry finally gave in. Stevie recorded Music on My Mind and from then on he proved that he was right. He became hugely successful with critics and the people, winning tons of awards - Talking Book, Songs in the Key of Life, and Innervisions were his masterpieces.

[@orlyblock555]

Never heard the legend Stevie Wonder! Omg. Where have you been? You need to listen to all of Stevie's genius. Can't believe it.

[@williamschrom1584]

Glad to see you dive into the Stevie Wonder rabbit hole...dig deep, dig fast, and enjoy!

[@ginalolajupiter2942]

Truly groundbreaking with universal appeal. He is an absolute legend.

[@markdrechsler5660]

Rabbit hole. A big one. Stevie is a genius and a groundbreaker. You pretty much can’t miss with anything he did in the 70’s. His roots are deep in 60’s Motown. He played all the instruments on this except the horns. The first 45 single I ever bought was his big hit “Sir Duke,” in about 1977. I was ten years old. I guess I count as a lifetime fan.

[@jodyjackson5475]

I remember when he was Little Stevie Wonder when my mom started playing his music…I’ve been obsessed since ❤

[@vickieray]

Check out the version of this song by SRV!!! 🔥🎸🎤♥️ Next check out “I Wish” by Stevie Wonder!

[@helenespaulding7562]

You must listen to Living For the City. Powerful social commentary from the 70’s. And Higher Ground, a funky banger

[@mariomiron2206]

Remember, he did all the tracks himself. Then put it all together and it fit perfectly. All Steve.

[@judydubiel]

Musical genius .. that’s it !!!!

[@HG-cv4ru]

Like the reaction. Stevie Wonder certainly has a ton of talent. I love Superstition. "Living for the City" and "Higher Ground" are a couple of my faves.

Iconic song. Iconic artist. One of the best ever!

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

I love Stevie Wonder and I got to see him live, really making an MLK day, and I am watching this video after hearing you watch Stevie Ray Vaughan. If you want to find out more about Stevie Ray, listen to his version of ‘Superstition’, and yes Stevie Wonder loved it, and yes they met, and yes, it was even recorded in his studios, and yes Stevie Wonder does a cameo on SRV’s music video. Isn’t that too cool for school?

[@yambo59]

Stevie Ray Vaughan does a great cover of this as well - Stevie Wonder was one of the greats, blind or not he was a master at his craft and knew how to get the job done, this song was on the radio for YEARS. Music was so much more inventive and cooler back then and viftually no special effects and certainly no auto tune or beat boxes, just pure talent

[@cheryljackson5659]

Stevie Wonder and Stevie Ray Vaughan together singing Superstition with various other artists is also awesome and available on KZbin!

[@GinMae]

YES - the two Stevies... love it!

[@johnpalmer5367]

Everybody likes Stevie Wonder, he is undeniably great. Growing up in Michigan in the 70's, listening to classic rock FM radio, and yet they would play Stevie Wonder in high rotation, as were all the AM stations. We are very proud of our native son.

[@jonathanpeters5027]

"Superstition" is definitely a rock song.

[@wpollock1]

There is NO ONE like Stevie. Being from Motown, I grew up in the 60's and 70's idolizing his music. He is revered as a musical genius with good reason.

[@victorsixtythree]

Everything you hear, other than the horns, is Stevie Wonder. He sang and played multiple keyboard parts, drums and moog bass on this song.

[@cdfdesantis699]

Musical genius, & one of the brightest lights in modern music. Thanks for your reaction.

Stevie is a WONDERFUL musician! You should check out his album "Songs in the key of Life"! Every song is worth a listen, just WONDERFUL!

[@bobv586]

Stevie makes Joyous music . He always make people happy

[@glass2467]

Many, many, many more hits and great songs by Stevie Wonder. A master. His vocal style has influenced generations of singers, but no one has been able to compare to the master. Probably most people doing those complex vocal runs today don't even know that it came from him. Certainly there were other singer doing those runs, but Stevie was probably the master of that style. This song only touches on that style. Check out other songs by him to discover just what he can do with his voice.

[@LunaJo67WDHTMJ]

My mouth literally dropped when you said you never heard Stevie....... one of my music heroes!!! Please explore him, he doesn't have a bad song. LJ Also Earth,Wind and Fire were among one of those who brought this amazing music to us and inspired so many that came after them.

[@pudder68]

There was everybody else ... then there was Stevie Wonder... He was in a class by himself back in the day. Talent just oozes from every pore.

Sir Duke is another quintessential 70’s funk jam by Stevie! Sooooooo good!!

[@kengunter6903]

In a class all his own. 1 of the greatest artists ever!!!!

[@willcool713]

Back in the late '70's, when I was a preteen and they were popular solo artists, I always wished Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon had done an album together. They play in the same space, with such individual grooves, it could've been amazing.

[@alhaskell242]

Talking Book,Songs in the key of life and Innervisions are three of the finest albums ever recorded.

[@karenmckinlay1472]

Sir Duke / Masterblaster / Happy Birthday - all worth a listen - and all tributes to other people. Sir Duke to Duke Ellington, Masterblaster to Bob Marley and Happy Birthday to Martin Luther King Jr. Don't think Stevie Wonder has ever made a bad record so stick a pin in his discography and it'll be a belter! His songs have also been covered by a number of artists but George Michael (you'll be blown away!) and Mary J Blige covered the same song (As) both worthy of your time.

[@Macilmoyle]

Wonder worked with Jeff Beck on the composition and Beck was originally going to be the one to release this as a single with the group Beck, Bogert and Appice but delays in releasing their album meant that Stevie's version came out first. His catalogue is incredible. Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours is one of my faves.

[@rickpopham5400]

I have heard that, in return, Stevie gave Jeff Beck "'Cause We've Ended as Lovers". Pretty cool if true, and a great Beck classic for Salvo to check out.

[@lindamaclellan4899]

For music fans who want to take a deeper dive into this song, I suggest Rick Beato's "What makes this song great, episode 81": kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2jHaHSCarmppJY As a fun note, when Paul Simon won a Grammy for his album "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" in 1976, he thanked Stevie Wonder for not releasing an album that year. 🤣

[@mocknburd23]

There's so much Stevie you need to listen to!! I'd recommend next going with Sir Duke, from 1977, my all-time favorite of his!!! And also from your list the other day, you need to listen to Dancing Queen by Abba!

[@Tessiefaye]

He's been blind all of his life and was considered the 8th wonder of the world. He was a child prodigy, could play multiple instruments.

[@beverlybrown2673]

Little Stevie Wonder was the heart and soul of Motown, and then went on to become so much more. A brilliant songwriter, composer, arranger, producer, singer, and musician, a groundbreaking innovator.

[@SG-js2qn]

Stevie is probably mainly remembered in popular music for the syrupy ear worm ballads he wrote, like "My Cherie Amour," "I Just Called to Say I Love You," "Isn't She Lovely," "Part Time Lover." The ones I like are the funkier ones, like "Superstition" and "I Wish." Red Hot Chili Peppers did a great and respectful cover of "Higher Ground." And, like Prince, Stevie sometimes wrote for other artists, as he did with "Tell Me Something Good," which was for Chaka Khan, performed by her with Rufus. I remember seeing them perform for a Bob Hope special in '74, and it's on YT.

[@danellacoffey5836]

Stevie Wonder is an absolutely deity level musician/composer/performer. His songs are instantly recognisable as his, without being formulaic at all.

[@battlegirldeb]

Steve start has professional singing career at Motown in the 60's when he was 12 years old. So, by the time he was in 20's in the 70's he was doing some of the most interesting music of his life. All his albums are great, but the best in my opinion listen to every song on the double "Songs in the Key of Life".

[@jodij6280]

The Definitive Collection too.

[@SpookyLuvCookie]

This song is up there as one of his top classics. A similar, but less obvious choice, is the incredible "Higher Ground", highly recommended; and "He's Mistra Know It All", both these from his 'Innervisions' album (my favourite). And check out "Sir Duke", "I WIsh", "As"; and "Another Star" from his epic masterwork 'Songs In The Key Of Life". Manna from heaven!

[@Habichiwoowoo]
