Stevie Wonder - Singers Then And Now (With Singing Tutorial) - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy

[@giulianacr2638]

Stevie is just a gift to the world. The voice, his musicianship and his creativity is unreal.

[@Housey29]

I agree Stevie Wonder does sound better now the tone is warmer, just amazing artist and in my opinion he does still have it!

[@eddiecarter9831]

Stevie Wonder is just incredible! The older I get, the more I appreciate his vocal and musical talent. He is one that has obviously taken care of his voice. I'm more impressed with Stevie and Paul Rodgers than any other singers their age. Proof, as you say, that it is possible. Also, I really enjoy your version, Ken, of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" that you kinda of "gospelled up" (made that one up) several years ago. I remember listening to it often back when I first became aware of CCM stuff. Your music, Phil Keaggy, and Glenn Kaiser are still inspirational to me as musicians and singers. Thanks! \m/

Music is a universal Language

[@jenniferlyons4150]

His voice is timeless! Love SW.

[@josemariareyes3448]

It’s amazing how Stevie could hits crazier notes on songs way later in life

[@5speedMax]

Stevie has been around since the early 60's.

[@maraharvey4511]

Love watching you vibe and chair dance to songs. It's hard to sit still while listening to old Motown stuff.

[@williamsowusu-adubofour2848]

Stevie is really iconic and the king of RnB🔥🔥

[@joesheltonsings]

Happy birthday Ken, looking great for 58!

[@MrGist123]

Happy early birthday sir!!!! One of your ktva students here i wish you many more thanks for the videos!

[@kentamplin]

Thank you very much!

[@mattcarless642]

Stevie is the best!

[@SammiQPatriot]

Ahhhh Stevie… I mean was there really any doubt with Stevie? 😁 He’s just literally an all out wonder, such an amazing voice! Love him! 🥰💕

[@gadamerlast3104]

great session with brother Stevie! Ken's uplifting energy helps one appreciate even more Stevie's uplifting energy. Stevie is great in the studio, but unbelievable live, as Ken notes. Four thumbs way up! In terms of live show that take it over the top compared to excellent studio work, how about looking at Springsteen live from say 1980 and then 2015 or so.

[@rickypoindexter9505]

Great series! Love Stevie. Happy early birthday Ken. Appreciate the time it takes to make these videos. Hope you are well.

[@cadeevans4623]

Hey Ken! Stevie! One of the best. Does he have a bad song? Can't think of one. Awesome voice!😎

[@petertowneya]

Fantastic! Thanks for posting Ken!

[@Kulvinder1974]

One of my favourite artists. Are used to try and model myself on him when I was a lot younger. 👍👍👍👍

[@daisymay4183]

Stevie one of the legends for sure😊

[@tallard666]

Wow! hadn't heard him in ages!

[@lyraverdaderoeleonora1998]

[@Bagpipe13]

Mr Wonder, awesome.

[@sussylh4124]

Yeah! Finally! @Ken, could I upload a song test somewhere for you to listen to and give me your opinion on my voice?

[@milanpolak]

Also best composer in 'modern music', imo...

[@droopyd67droopy99]

Stevie is amazing. No matter when!

[@stefanreiman3527]

Stevie Wonder all time greatest Part time lover is great

[@leifwright1255]

“Holy Cow” is the actually correct reaction. Stevie is STILL a wonder.

[@debsbarra1130]

Sounds great still. Such a great talent!!

[@jeffschielka7845]

Agree with what you said about YES. Maybe one day?😎

[@professorvoluck9311]

You look fantastic Ken! I thought you were considerably younger.

[@ianmartens5286]

Stevie's awesome. Also the David Lee Roth "Runnin' With the Devil" scream would not have happened without Stevie!

[@swinedog712]

I love Stevie Wonder. Also… It’s cool that you gave a shoutout to two of my favorite bands. Yes, and Kansas. I’d love to see a “then and now” video for Jon Anderson!

[@tracezachdaniels4264]

SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide} and oooweee yeah..!!! soooo coool.!!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Some voice, no question.

[@CheekyPseudonym]

The power of having fewer distractions

[@Markothunder]

Stevie Wonder is a legend🙂

[@victorbradshaw7359]

Great job your 57 yrs young

[@joecesarano4301]

What You can say is He's absolutely the best! Ken, with all due respect, you have Huevos for merely trying to critique this icon. From childhood until the present. who compares as a performer, songwriter, producer, and humanitarian. BTW, I guess I'll let you of the hook regarding your expert opinion of how Joe Cocker was able to sustain his unique voice and live longer than what would've been expected. In this new world, priorities change with an alarming paradigm shift in living. However, the healing power of music and letting a song burst out if only in the shower, restores the soul. Warmest regards to you and yours.

[@mdv1236]

Great video you can tell he was a huge influence on Steve Walsh especially when Steve sang live

[@valzalel5203]

Stevie Wonderful legend

[@onetakeadventureswithjoeld4679]

Good stuff Ken :) Joel

[@gotscottgreen]

What a great great performer.... Any chance to hear any then and now on Michael Sweet?

[@lettiegrant9447]

Stevie was singing with Motown when he was eleven Years old.

[@1960taylor]

I’ve seen Stevie many times….flawless…never a missed note

[@lasse0201]

Stevie Wonder is such an amazing singer and performer, and i agree with you Ken, he has´nt lost a step. And you are pretty cool yourself Ken, you give all of us inspiring singers such great tips and tricks to become great, and that is pretty damn cool to me. :)

[@Jett-mf2dw]

I loved YOUR version of signed sealed delivered.. go Jesus. When I sing this song I use your lyrics

[@chadherrin5181]

I thought Stevie would still have it. Music has been his life since the beginning and he always took care of business there. His performances were always great and still are obviously. 👍

[@derekgutierrez1048]

Please do a cover of working for the weekend.... it feels like your type of song

[@salihbegec1758]

Great!

[@in2livinit]

Stevie is just such an amazing force of nature isn't he ? A prodigy, savant, genius. And he sounds unbelievable. He was always so cool, but I actually prefer his matured, fuller, warmer voice now. Great choice Ken !!! You can Rock the Clock, but ya got no Roll if ya got no SOUL !!! In more than one way also 😉

[@PickettMusic]

This guy just operates in a league all his own. Tone for days.... I live near Allen Stone, who is a very similar vocalist in some respects...and there's just a timeless quality there...

[@user-ir5ul1ph1c]

There's a documentary on Amazon Prime called Hitsville where the origins of Motown records was shown. Barry Gordy discovered Stevie at 12 years old! His talent was apparent at a young age!

[@malhajjaj]

Love your channel learn many things. Can you do Corey Glover from living colour great vocal still got his mojo working .

[@RockerChick]

Stevie CAN SEE! Lol He sounds exactly the same too me.

[@marshaperry1746]

I LOVE Stevie! He still looks so relaxed in his “Now” videos…so cool. It’s cool…his songs have so many Christian messages when you really listen. A man with a string foundation!

[@salix741]

Hey Ken, love these then and now videos! Have you thought about doing one on Michael Sweet from Stryper? His voice is still amazing! Blessings 😊

[@johnmcguinness2249]

Hi Ken Could you do a then and now on rod Stewart. That would be great if you could . I would love to here your thoughts.

[@eriks.lundestad9365]

He is still great

[@muratomar6502]

Sometimes you think Stevie sings just simple songs like I just call to say I love you... haha, try to repeat 😁

[@amandahuginkiss4098]

Well happy birthday!

[@benmiller4563]

Loving this series Ken! Could you please do one on Blackie Lawless from WASP! Cheers 👍

[@tombouchard9606]

Cool

[@MAURANDRE]

ken can you do a then and now of mickey thomas?

[@kaliflandkalifland8000]

Can u please do Luther Vandross next

[@michaelsadowski2360]

Stevie is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be! Can you please tell me the name of the first song featured in the video? Can’t think of it for the life of me. Ty🤪

[@green8026]

Stevie Wonder, Freddie Mercury, and Whitney Houston. This is the tie for number one all time. All others are second place or better.

[@aaronalamare4602]

Udo Dirkschneider of Accept then and now if you please.

[@MilesJ911]

The way he plays keys and sing simultaneously is extremely difficult

[@aleccopile]

Bluefoot? Did I hear that right? I'm sure you mean the British group Blue 😉. They recorded a version of this song with Stevie and Angie Stone. Stevie's vocals are still amazing. Another perfect example for me would be Mick Hucknall from Simply Red 👍. His voice hasn't changed either.

[@FineArtsMusic]

Hey, could you look at INXS Michael Hutchence, Ricky Martin or Gwen Stefani (during No Doubt) sometime? I'd love to hear your thoughts on their voices particularly Gwen Stefani/No Doubt with Don't Speak

[@jeffschielka7845]

Jon would be a great then and now. You could go over 50 years between. Think it would be a very interesting vid, but that's just me. The voice, the master, forever YES!!🎤😎

[@patricklarry6645]

Steve winwood then and now please ;)

[@ericanderson7059]

Happy upcoming 58th Coach , you shortchanged Stevie a little bit , Fingertips came out in 1963 . In the documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown some of the session greats talk about how much of a young phenom Stevie was instrumentally .

[@Minunmaani]

"Scream your brains out" sound a style I would like. I am a Finn who sings so surface level it makes one wanna die.

[@gwheat63]

I would be interested to hear a Steven Tyler then and now, also maybe Michael McDonald

[@joefrench2579]

Mr Tamplin I think you should cover Frank Sinatras My Way!

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Clearly fantastic, not surprised in all honesty but still impressed nonetheless

[@anthonyb7571]

There are parts where he does a little too much.... But Stevie is always the greatest.

[@leifwright1255]

PAUL RODGERS! Please, God, do Paul Rodgers! That guy still sounds amazing today, probably better than his heyday.

[@didisolo2178]

Hi Ken, I would love to see ur version of "Superstition" greets .-))

[@karajalbert6074]

Happy Birthday early.

[@allinnffm]

Great Musician and singer but keep in mind he’s been blind his whole life and his ears are so perfectly in tune :)

[@DanielSmith-pq4yc]

I think the biggest issue with older people who are stars is going back to basics is seems like a slap in the face. However sometimes going way back to the basics can help you be better that's my two cents maybe I'm wrong but I could imagine it could be that way. However Stevie stil has it

[@enadias4149]

👏👏👏👏👏👏🎤🎹❤️👏👏👏👏👏

[@enadias4149]

[@crushtoph]

wow...so you saw stevie 6 times more than he saw you...

[@tylerhackner9731]

My favorite artist of all time aside from Prince

[@JOHNKUHNMUSIC]

Yeah Ken, I do believe this one takes the cake, thus far, as being the artist with the LEAST amount of notable diffences between THEN/NOW..Pretty close to Paul Rodgers.. Our BOY!..(taught eem everything he knows..lol) 🤡😁

[@American_King]

STEVIE sounds pretty much the same except his voice is not as strong as it used to be he has the range but his voice has gotten thinner

[@greg2797]

Because the voice is like a muscle i'm guessing part of why Stevie, and to your point you, haven't had a major drop off with your vocals is because y'all are still actively using them on the regular. I'm guessing most older artists tend to not sing as much anymore so their voice starts breaking down. Idk, total assumption

[@Insill]

Making a comparison video of Lemmy Kilmister would perhaps be the most boring of this series.

[@Go_Won_Hee]

Dear Ken Tamplin you should not say your age loud 🤫👂because no one would believe what is written on a birth cert . paper for the year ☺️🌺

[@kentamplin]

Thank you, Aleph!

Whatever. The man can sing.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZbFf2eQg7GUmNE not quite normal looking eyes. but as Ken said, whatever.

[@kentamplin]

@@khed1949 I do not know to what extent his vision suffers. Is it total? Can he make out shadow or form? How would I know? Doesn't have anything to do with his voice nor would I presume to know what he does or doesn't see. Sheesh.

[@khed1949]

@@kentamplin I agree totally with you 😀. That was my point to the post. All those rumours do not matter, and those rumours are baseless. Love your channel and this series. I was surprised how awesome Stevie has retained. Sounds like he took your classes 😃
