Stevie Wonder One-Man-Band - Living For The City (Live Tribute to Spike Lee)

[@BillKinsman]

I was so lucky to be there when he was recording this! I have never been so close to the music before.

[@versatilejams]

Share more stories with us, don’t tease us like that and leave us hanging! This is one of my favorite live performances ever.

[@peterbigblock]

Stevie Wonder is a beautiful genius, a truly good man. His talent is shocking.

[@michaelayearout1631]

hands down one of my favorites by Stevie Wonder and still such a underrated but powerful song!! id love to see this song live one day!!!

[@Eshh_]

Been looking for this performance for YEARS!! 😩 so happy I found it!

[@steview61]

Stevie is a living legend, somebody who was having hits 50 years ago, and somebody everybody wants to see play live.

[@Duh6666666]

My mother and her best friend took me to the Montreal Forum to see him when I was 10 or so, around 1975, my first big show, I remember parts of it vividly, his incredible band had a superb horn section like I have rarely heard since and, remains one of my all-time favorite musical moments.

[@versatilejams]

Stevie rarely performs this song all the way through with that "gruff" sound he does at the end of the album version of this track. Similar to how he rarely sings that bridge on "As" - he usually lets Keith John or someone else sing it. To hear him do the whole track live - and re-record it for the occasion - was flipping awesome.

[@louisnaghten7415]

And to hear his range hasn't faded...

[@louisnaghten7415]

Although surely one of his highest notes is on Stranger on the Shore of Love...what do you think?

@@crich95 one of my favourites. And These Three Words and Fun Day from the same album...amazing range in all of them

[@versatilejams]

@@louisnaghten7415 Fun Day is vastly underrated. Sounds a little campy on first listen, but the vocals and harmonica… it’s brilliant.

[@johndunn7502]

I am almost 50 and this song is as old as I am. I have 4 nieces who are either black, biracial or Latina. Plus my own son who's disabled. Let's make this works a better place and erase hate.

My hero and idol Stevie Wonder aka THE God of ALL Music !!!

[@mrsoshadabaadman]

For a song that's 50 years old and the original singer to deliver it with such precision faithful to the original. I have to say God oh God. Amazing !!!!

[@mrsoshadabaadman]

My African American brothers and sisters. Black people from the USA I have to say. You are remarkable. God or whatever the entity that you belive in is remarkable. God has not kept you for so long without a purpose. You are God's people!! There is no modern Gospel music, no Jazz, No Blues, No RnB, No Funk, No Disco, No House, No Hip Hop and many parts of Hollywood premises. AND Ofcouse you have created innovative technology in science and engineering.
