Stevie Wonder "I Was Made To Love Her" My Extended Version!!

No copyright infringement intended. One of Stevie's best...with help from Motown's Funk Brothers and James Jamerson's amazing bass. You'll hear lots of instrumental breakdown from the original backing track that stretches this to a length it deserves.

Just in case you didn't know, the owner of this channel, mosogotam, whose real name is John Perrone, sadly passed away April 5, 2020 from COVID-19. He was an absolute genius for this and all the other wonderful tracks he created. May he rest in peace.

You are ABSOLUTELY correct. In fact, please look up Carol Kaye, the blue-eyed soul sister. Both she and brother Jamerson had created basslines and guitar licks on which music created during this era were fundamentally based (no pun intended).

Too many people witnessed his one finger (THE HOOK) playing. Dude was the top of the BOTTOM!

I've said it before I'll say it again, being born in 1964 I was sooooo lucky to grow up with all the great music from late 60s and 70s.

[@stephanyearwood1377]

[@yvettesanchez4691]

Same here. Carefree days. Even as kids we knew this was a special song. Still makes me smile.

I'm not particularly religious, but God was in that studio.

[@paulsuen6666]

To be precise, a group of Gods were in that studio, similar those Greek Gods on Mount Olympus.

Summer, 1967 - Vacation to Chicago, Ill. for the first (and last) time. Came back home singing "I Was Made To Love [Him]" My mother said, "Oh - really, now. The next time you go to Chicago, you'll be grown!" I was grown the next time I saw Chi-town - my mama didn't play! Love this extended version - thanks so much!
