Stevie Wonder - Uptight!/ A Place In the Sun (1966)

[@johnboydojo]

HE WAS JUST 16 YEARS OLD!! Talented beyond belief. Brilliant

[@markdavidmitchell3564]

Brilliant song performed by an legend

[@megavide0]

1:47 :)

[@nickyhill7938]

I think he was about the right age to sing this song.

[@carlosbautista2247]

And people Hype Up that Angelina girl 😂. This is a real singer and talent. Stevie wonder is amazing what a stud even as a kid. I am 29 years saying this and we don’t have singers like this. He sounds like a man at 16 with a huge range and smooth voice 🔥🔥

[@jasonvoorhees1765]

Stevie was only 16 during this time but you could hear his older voice maturing

[@num1Jaysta]

Jason Voorhees Yep! Same age Michael’s voice was maturing as well.

[@melissagerber7231]

I remember seeing Stevie at this age, on TV, when I was 11 or 12.

[@terrilaigo7928]

His humor and positive light is beautiful, we need more of this today.

[@mistyblue5357]

I remember seeing him at the Fox in Detroit They had people around him because he would fall off the stage if they were not 1966 I was one of 4 white people there I was not afraid back then I will be 70 on my next birthday Happy I grew up not thinking anyone was different because their skin was another color I had great parents

[@Alanoffer]

Misty Blue I’m seventy next year and we lived through some of the greatest music ever

[@utbabee]

My parents too. I am so glad they loved soul music. Their record collection was phenomenal!!

[@Lakeshore14]

As a Canadian living across the border we went to several events at the Fox mainly to see Motown artists. Also went to a few jazz clubs in Detroit. Was never afraid of different cultures. This was in the 60s and I loved the great music we were exposed to. Always felt you judge people by the kind of person they were and I was glad that’s how I was raised. It’s very hard to see so much divisiveness and hatred now. At that time music brought people together.🥰

[@ladycd5224]

That's what happens when your music moves you.

[@wutang_batman]

Words to live by.

[@BrooklynJackBlue]

I LOVE to think of Stevie telling the producers "I do not want to lip sync." The man can sing. Always amazing.

[@colinthackeray1575]

He is real musical genius.

[@BLASTZONE-qp9un]

what a smart thing Mr. Wonder said, about being able to more accurately judge one's character with basing it on their looks" ya see the world can learn from a blind man.

[@stud105]

This man epitomises greatness. Living legend.

[@goodtasteofmusicclub8438]

He totally felt music

[@u2cblue]

OMG, he's SOOOO CUTE!! ❤ Stevie has always been a very good-looking, handsome man! He's talented and gifted beyond belief and has a very powerful voice!! Loved him since the 70's when I was a little girl! Still love him! ❤❤

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight I'm a poor man's son, from across the railroad tracks The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye When we go out stepping on the town for a while My money's low and my suit's out of style But it's all right if my clothes aren't new Out of sight because my heart is true She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say I guess her folks brought her up that way The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids She says no one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy No football hero or smooth Don Juan Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poor man's son Can't give her the things that money can buy But I'll never, never, never make my baby cry And it's all right, what I can't do Out of sight because my heart is true She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ha ha ha ha, yeah Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, way out of sight Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight

[@zavishvelati6816]

Absolute Class!

[@glowgirl8171]

So privileged to have grown up listening to Stevie Wonder. We'd wait for his songs to play on the radio then go out and buy the 45's and LP's.. Wait for the record to drop, watch the arm swing over and the needle would hit it.. A little scratch then--Stevie Wonder's magic.

[@donreed623]

Love this description - it took me back Tina.

Ooooh Gosh! He is so so so cute!♡

My oldest brother & Stevie were the same age in 1966 & I had just been born in march that same year my oldest brother jd.the 3rd owned this 45 " record i remember him playing this just hearing the melody when I was a year old I always tried to sing the lyrics but at 1 year old I barely knew how to talk but that melody made me want to dance Stevie was and is an American music icon!I've been a longtime fan of his music since I heard his superstition song of 1973📀

I just wish the Mike Douglas show would release just a Motown DVD which includes the label's majority artists from the 1960's to the 1970's! Believe me, that would be a sight to see!

[@Elm3224]

He was only 16 years of age in 1966

[@jimquantic]

+Cliff Walton Cool part of his story, as I recall was he started at like 11 or 12, so when the first 10 year contract was up--of course they paid him very little--he was now red hot, 21 or 22, and HE could call the shots from then on.

This is actually better! Than the mp3 version. And also instead of .."never never never make my baby cry", here he says .." never never never make my cookie cry" which is 1 of the reasons why this man is awsome

Those who impersonate Stevie wonder and make fun of him being blinds probably have no talent themselves. He has millions in the bank.they don't, it easy to knock someone who has more talent than they do in their little finger.
