Stevie Wonder on Keys of Life

[@DarkMsStress]

Stevie kills me when he does his faux Brit accent. I met him once, and he did it right away. I love this series! Thanks!

"Listen, we live in a society" - Stevie Wonder

[@brandbusters183]

Society Meme confirmed.

[@paulcolbourne9112]

He's like a big kid with the wisdom of an old soul. His natural joy, enthusiasm and openness can knock down walls of restrictive ideas.

[@trinityyogatherapy]

I love his response, "Creativity overrules punctuality." I need to use that!

[@youarelife3437]

I use it too. I realize one has to be moderate. Give space and time for creativity. And some moderate discipline.

[@altaloma7789]

As a kid in north NJ, we heard rumors about this kid who played outside of the Apollo Theater. Some of the other kids were going to try going over to see him, but my parents wouldn't let me go. The theater was in Harlem. About three months after that, the riots erupted in Harlem, and we could see the flames and the lights from all kinds of emergency vehicles from across the Hudson river. We moved away about two weeks after that. I never heard if the other kids did manage to see him, but it wasn't long until we heard his first record on the radio. Little did we know what an inspiration he would become to others.

[@janetlutkus7549]

Awesome!!!!!

[@MrPlee01]

I loved his approach, someone badmouthed him because of who he was, his response? 'Man I'm from Detroit!" *fights back*

[@nthjcksn]

I'm so glad I got to see him live. Absolutely amazing

" I felt if god didn't want me to do it, he wouldn't have given me the talent to do it"

[@billyalarie929]

I’m not even a religious person and that statement hit me real REAL good. Tell me Stevie Wonder says that god wants me to use the talents I’m said to have, and I’m gonna use that talent to its full capacity. Given, and received. Thank you, Stevie.

[@Melindas.Stitchy.Corner]

He's such a musical legend

[@PogieJoe]

I do love me some Stevie. Thanks for choosing him on this episode!

[@throe68]

He's a national treasure; a natural resource.....for all....

[@stuvs830]

A very interesting Blank on Blank could be made on a "The Making of a 'Blank on Blank' episode!"

[@oof-rr5nf]

that is a fantastic idea!

[@evandempsey7613]

"Blank on Blank on Blank on Blank"

[@jkoff76]

Love that a lot of these interviews are conducted by Mojo contributors. I read that magazine for years.

[@foodandtravelmom2241]

I don’t get how anyone gave a thumbs down to this... 🤦‍♀️

[@Majnun74]

Beautiful!✨🌞

[@mesterorange8181]

I honestly love these interviews

[@MrCaptShadow]

What a lovely soul.

[@livefromplanetearth]

+1000 "melodies are angels expressing a place for the heart to follow"

[@rugilearstikaityte4420]

He's hillarious. This video made my day. Can't stop laughing after the part he told he was throwing things at those kids. :D

[@mikeypiscopo]

true inspiration

[@realdeal2165]

The finest video you've ever uploaded.

[@zamonmontana635]

Wise man great interview

[@eddsolis8382]

can you do a tlc interview please???

[@amphitheatre]

Thanks for another good video. Too bad about some of the quality, I had to turn on the CC. I love Stevie's classic 70s albums but I was always bothered by how he gave up all his talent to God, like it was something he unwrapped at xmas when he was 7. He worked on his craft for years I'm sure, he should give himself more credit. Talent isn't given, its something you work on.

[@2bitgirly007]

I'm of the opposite opinion - Talent is nurtured, not manufactured. While I agree with you that discipline is key to success, the fact remains that some people are intrinsically just more talented at singing, etc. You can attribute that to God or nature or chance, but it simply isn't realistic to pretend as if hard work is enough to be at Stevie Wonder-levels of excellence in your area of choice.

[@amphitheatre]

2bitgirly007 i think i could agree with you on that if it was just his voice (you can't change the timbre or sound of that, so in a sense it is "given") but his mastery of pretty much any non-stringed instrument must be due to years of practice. his ability to hear and place woodwinds and synthesizers in his compositions was an extension of his genius, but not one that came without hours and hours of training the ear. then there is the stereotype of the blind being more attuned to individual frequencies having an effect, but i'll not involve that here. at least we can both agree on his pedigree :)

[@AceGrooves88]

I think people use talent as an excuse for why they haven't reached higher levels in their chosen disciplines. While predispositions certainly exist, no human has ever gotten around putting the years and years of dedication and hard work in. Stevie was lucky enough to grow up around Motown and the Funk Brothers, so he learned quickly. But talent (as in god or nature given) is not why he's so great. The man lives music

[@sickowhale6861]

There is reason why grown ass legend is keep telling that his talent is gifted. You are stupid as shit friend

[@laylasilyano7941]

MorbidManMusic God gives people free will therefore some do good while others use it for evil. Also, God gives people talent and you can choose what you do with it. I absolutely understand Stevie's reasoning and believe it so myself.

[@stuvs830]

You need to know that Stevie knows some really, dirty jokes. And will tell them to you.

[@DamagedF0X]

Someone only has to say "Stevie Wonder and I instantly want to hear Boogie On Reggae Woman

[@kingflame81]

Checked the song out because I've never heard before until you mentioned it. Love it! Thanks for having mentioned it.

[@isabellabornberg2153]

great video as always but please add captions, it's rly hard otherwise

[@wilhelmcooning]

They do have captions, the button for it is bottom right of the vid.

[@BlankonblankOrg]

+Isabella Bornberg we always have captions. You have to turn them on.

[@guest_informant]

Can you come round to my place and turn them on for me , I'm not sure how. Thanks.

[@andrewaronson3364]

that's really insensitive to the blind

[@RanchaX]

Amazing! Do you have more stevie wonder?

[@DendyJungle]

interesting how different times are nowadays. Back then accepting ignorant slurs was not encouraged whereas now we have to learn to "tolerate"

[@JuanFernandez-zv2oz]

Are you 12? This is an ignorant comment.

[@ciararavenblaze]

you've got it backwards, actually.

[@pussylord1095]

So by "tolerate"do you mean to not be racist?
