Thanks Nick, you can see why I wanted you to hear this! This is the full version, found on Stevie Wonder’s Musiquarium 1 album. There was also a version edited for radio. I love that Stevie knows it’s going long but wants to keep playing anyway. His joy is infectious. Dizzy Gillespie is pronounced Gill-ess-pea. I wanted a little more from him too. Dizzy was 65 when he played on this track. To answer your question, I’ve only seen Stevie crying once, on television. That was the day Prince died.

Stevie is a God to me. First record I ever bought aged 11 in ‘65 was Uptight. He’s been a constant in my life ever since. Genius.

Stevie Wonder is perfectly named. On this one he takes the old masters who came before him to "Nick's Next Level"...Apart from the Dizzy cameo, you absolutely hear him standing on the broad shoulders of Duke Ellington...Sheer delight!

The second solo is Stevie's harmonica. Dizzy had been on the downward arc for awhile at age 65.

Great epic choice JK! I still have my double vinyl copy of Original Musiquarium. I bought it in Johannesburg. I thought at the time that it was a cheap greatest hits album put out for smaller markets like SA, but then I played the album! 'Do I Do' was the cherry on top!

This version was put out as a video. I actually saw it on television. Dizzy Gillespie was a famous jazz band leader of the 50's and 60's. Charlie "Bird" Parker was a member of his band for a time.

Stevie won album of the year in 1972, 1973 and 1974 plus all of the other great albums. Check out "What the Fuss" for a really funky newer song. Love me some Stevie Wonder

I was just talking with a grocery store checker who went to see Joe Cocker with Stevie Wonder opening in '72, she said Joe was so drunk he could not get through one song and Stevie was amazing

you should listen to his duet with Sting live!! Or Al Jarreau 'Take 5' version :D That wasn't rapping at the end, much better then that! But that's where the rapping came about.

I think this was the extended dance remix, which I believe I have, or it may have been a DJ only pressing, which used to happen with club mixes a lot in the 70's and 80's
