STEVIE WONDER - DO I DO | FIRST TIME SOLO REACTION

[@JKonstage]

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.

[@TheCornishCockney]

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.

[@TebiCr]

From that album another underrated gem is "That Girl"

[@FutureAbe]

A MUST listen!

[@Ramonafloyd]

Not underrated it was a hit

[@terrencefarrow1595]

It was 1 of 4 New songs on the compilation album Original Musiquarium. The other 3 songs were That girl, Ribbon in the Sky, and Front Line.

[@garylewis9113]

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!

[@jml-rj5re]

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

[@DavidGlover-s7x]

Been rockin' to that tune for 40 years.

[@toamja03]

Yes it was released!

[@normanrose2711]

loved your breakdown on this one. This album is really good...please do more songs from it

[@davehess1019]

Great song, Thank you JK for your great request and Nick, Thank you for a great reaction as usual.

[@themajicman745]

Love to see you grove off Stevie's "Boogie Raggae Woman"

[@kenneth2875]

This is the album version. It was on big greatest his album called The Original Musiquarium. It was was final song on it.

[@richarddobson815]

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!

[@PatLove3360]

Living in Detroit, we heard the entire song. Stevie was the first rapper!

[@arnolddutton1624]

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.

[@rick063092]

This song is how NYC in the Summer of 1982 sounded and felt.. (any borough)

[@joemachine4714]

Definitely in my top three Stevie. I suggest you react to my favorite, "That Girl" it's 🔥

[@mjdaniel8710]

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

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

That was the album version. The other great brand new song on that compilation was That Girl.

[@joemachine4714]

Yep this is the version that i remember from early 80s

[@BRUTUSIAC]

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

[@alanFconrad]

Damn ! Thats great......but we all knew Stevie was great

[@montauk6]

Also check out Mr. Dizzy Gillespie's classic "Manteca" and "A Night In Tunisia"

[@Shuan-t1h]

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.

[@ciceroribeiro3248]

👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸

[@gsprings43]

They never played this version on the radio where i live back then

[@lamusiclover2264]

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

[@zanohoriamazo1]

The scale on that break is like minor pentatonic, maybe G# minor. That’s a killin band playing with him also, some of east & west coasts finest. People keep saying 1980’s sounds like ‘young Stevie’. He was born 1950 & came to popularity as Little Stevie Wonder with the song Fingertips when he was 13. This song is only abut2 or 3 years before We Are the World. So he was over 30, which is yung man but not for the music artist genius Stevie Wonder. Thanks for musically sensitive pauses.😅 By holding back Yu must mean Dizzy, who was by this time definitely NOT a young man, so it wasn’t like he was gonna be blowin the roof off, though what he played was still an extension of his mastered brilliance as an improvisor. Fine reaction! 👍

[@ellerootz6702]

Tha cut

[@stephencaruso760]

Jk great song haven't heard it in years

[@TheCornishCockney]

It’s “Innervisions” NOT Inversions. Two completely different words.

[@blackblake3658]

Dizzy was pretty old by then. He was 65 years old.

[@stuarthastie6374]

Dizzy Gillespie seem to be crowded out

[@katiemanning3761]

I wanted to hear more from Dizzy!!

[@jml-rj5re]

@@katiemanning3761 Night in Tunisia. Dizzy was 20 years past his prime.

[@victormendez8811]

Dizzy had health issues then, which may be why he did not shine as always did!!

[@buddinganarchist]

I prefer Prince a tick more, but Stevie my man.

[@chucku00]

2:45 I recommend you to never watch Stevie being interviewed by Anderson Cooper just after Prince passing if you want to keep this happy image.

[@buddinganarchist]

His two flaws: he never did a rock song and his lyrics could be naive.

[@jml-rj5re]

Innervisions? Talking Book?

[@buddinganarchist]

2High the shit.

[@davidlauter1622]

The album is called " Innervisions " not " Inversions " can't your generation get anything right ??????? If you're such a " Fan " you should at least get the album titles right ! That's really pathetic !

[@stuarthastie6374]

Give him a break. Is short sight is not good ass is mine. I certainly make mistakes all the time
