Stevie Wonder - I'm Gonna Make you Love Me (with Diana Ross)

An amazing performance by Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross.
I think this video aired between 1969 and 1970.
One or two years late Stevie Wonder was going to start his incomparable career of creating and inovating. The genius marked the music history creating the most powerfull and fantastic songs of ever (in my opinion).
Watch it

There's a reason why Diana and Stevie was among Motown's elite. It was not accidental at all. At the end of the day these are REAL, TRUE vocalists. Listen to how they sing so effortlessly.

Diana Ross has sung with every star imaginable. She's the truest legend of all time.

[@matman8540]

When Diana did this with The Temptations, it was like she was singing with an all-time great team. With Stevie, she sang with an all time great individual. The Temp version is classic. This version is once in a lifetime.

[@3912James]

Check out Stevie's incredible ability to improvise and embellish any song...Just FABULOUS. I can't stop playing this one.

[@journeythruthepast]

Stevie's remarkable sense of phrasing and tone in his vocals lets him take over any song and make it his. Diana sings it like she did on the recording but Stevie hardly goes by the standard set by the Temptations, which made every performance of his an adventure where you didn't know what to expect. What a genius, not just with singing too obviously.

[@michaelnorris6168]

I was a little boy when this came out on TV, and already at this point Stevie Wonder was and still is my favorite singer, well over 50 years later.

Chaka Khan was a great singer but I wasn't really into Chaka Khan's music. Plus she hollered alot. Her hollering sounded beautiful at times, but there were many instances where her hollering just didn't appeal to me at all. I loved Dionne's style of singing and the sound of her voice and so many of her songs.

@@beyourself2444 I liked Aretha's voice (usually) and alot of her songs but she often made these hollas that didn't sound nice at all to me. And that Patti LaBelle does some phenomenal high notes but she screeches too much for me, making some of the ugliest sounds known man (or woman or tranny or UFO). With all that over singing and showboating that she does. Now I don't often condone violence but why can't someone (for just once) run up on that stage and just haul off and SLAP that Patti. I know that's mean cuz Patti has a beautiful spirit but still someone should just SLAP that woman when she's onstage doing that stuff (though her fans seem to LOVE it).
