Stevie Wonder - As | REACTION 🔥🔥🔥

[@rumseyh]

To be CLEAR, Ms Ashley R... it's YOU, who helps us to re-live our experiences & emotions to these old 'skool soul and R&B classics and stuff!? Say what now?! 😉 Nope... YOU are the next generation, to at least recognize (if not promote) MUSIC... which (sadly) doesn't currently exist today... at least not highly promoted, anyway! I thank you for this, young Lady! 👏🏾 💯🙏🏾

[@carlanderson7840]

Just listening to the Greatest artist in the history of man kind bring a tear to my eyes. This man was sent to show us the difference between spiritual love and lust. How to love all mankind and not to hate. AR squad the 9th wonder of the world STEVIE WONDER ❣️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Tessiefaye]

Stevie was a lyrical and musical genius.

[@helgar791]

Is.

[@AnthonySturdivant-tu1li]

Stevie Wonder is got to be one of the greatest artist of all time. His songs will take to a place that make you feel happy, powerful and inspired.

[@MrBishop1954]

Stevie is in the top 3 of all time It's hard to name someone who's better

[@PeteJ.Baylis]

​@@MrBishop1954It's ACTUALLY AND HONESTLY DAMNED NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. HIS SHEER VOLUME OF INTRINSICALLY DYNAMIC AND CROSS GENERATIONAL TRACKS WITH DEPTH AND QUALITY SOULFUL INSTRUMENTATION AND STORYTELLING. HE HAS NO EQUAL. SHOUT OUT TO SAM COOKE, OTIS REDDING, JACKIE WILSON, AND DONNIE HATHAWAY IN A SIMILAR VEIN.❤

[@jimmoore8951]

1of1… nobody else in his class

[@GoldenLady1007]

​@@PeteJ.BaylisVERY eloquently stated and I concur. ✨️😊💛

[@cre8tivone]

Every song on this album is a masterpiece

[@Sam53Morgan]

And go back to INNERVISIONS and listen to more masterpieces... ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR... then find "Chevrolet" - ha ha - it's as much as a coherent album of music as Stevie did, and far above what that generation tried to do.

[@veot.2869]

One if the greatest songs of all time!!! 🎶💃🏾🎵⭐💗

[@robertfindley921]

Stevie Wonder is such a talented guy. His catalog is deep and pioneering. Superstition, Sir Duke, I Wish, Living for the City, ...pick anything. If you're not entertained, clean your ears.

[@GoldenLady1007]

So true. ✨️😂💛

[@tyehodge4075]

This is one of the greatest albums of all time to include “Hotter Than July”

[@williamj6974]

Songwriting doesn't get better than this

[@douglasswilliams9926]

Marvin Gaye- I want you. Is also a really good song. Definitely one of my favorites.

[@cnp215]

Playing this song in the house on max volume bring it to life and you can feel the love in the atmosphere as Stevie Sings.. His purpose is music and I’m just so happy that he blessed us with his gifts and talents all these years 🎶🖤..

[@deyeneicowilliams8218]

Arguably one of the Top 5 or Top 10 songs of all time in my opinion. I’ve never skipped this song even once in my adult life & it give me the feels still every time I listen. Stevie is truly a musical genius & as much as we appreciate him I still think he deserves more

[@robertxxxgomez3273]

Stevie is the goat no debate

[@jeffburwell2531]

One of the greatest albums.

[@tugga235ii]

I cannot listen to this song without thinking of my departed mother. And every time I shed a tear like the song says, always

[@SherrieJones-sb4ru]

I’ve actually asked to have this played at my funeral.

[@musizmanradio]

Wait til U here 'Love's In Need Of Love Today' from the same album...❤

[@dwainwilder7337]

I must say, Stevie Wonder’s music is truly timeless! When you listen to his music from the 70s and beyond, you cant hear the typical sounds from any particular decade. Which is a great quality!

[@theredroadeast723]

Stevie Wonder is one of the greatest to ever do it. He as influenced artists such as Charlie Wilson, Jodeci, Lauren Hill and countless others. You should also check out Ribbon in the Sky, Another Star, and Superwoman by him.

[@clintongray5065]

There’s them and then there’s just Stevie 💪🏾

[@johnw9177]

I think I was around 9 when this dropped. Our band/orchestra played a couple tracks from this. I still rock this. Probably my favorite Stevie album.

[@GhostfaceLouis]

My favorite album as a child Thanks to my Mama.. Love my Mama Always

[@kurtadams3021]

Pure musical treasure Mr Stevie Wonder aka 8th Wonder of the world 🌎

[@blackkatt777]

Stevie Wonder is my favorite male singer/musician and Patti Labelle is my favorite female singer. Their talent moves my soul. Please listen to the remake, music video by George Michael (R.I.P.) and Mary J. Blige. They put a funk on it that definitely deserves approval. Stevie put his stamp of approval.

[@francescareliford3941]

Great reaction! This is exactly how we want you to feel when you are introduced or reintroduced to a song. For a truly musical and spiritual journey listen to the entire album Songs in the Key of Life. It's life affirming 😊❤.

[@patriciadavis5939]

I know where I was when this hit. I remember the flavor. My babies my husband. Life was beautiful even in the discomfort of itself. Stevie’s music playing loud while two inexperienced young adults only came through and last because they loved each other. Thanks Stevie♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@satinalilly752]

That's my baby... Stevie is a goat in music!!!! All entertainers LOVE and admire my baby. Ask any one of them 😜 God's continuous blessings to you and your family 🥰

[@Battle_Faith-Ministries]

The lyrical genius and greatest of all time

[@derrionarrington]

The greatest of all time!

[@primeminister66]

As around the ☀️ the 🌍 tho she’s revolving….

[@Mr.AD1988]

My Grandma use to call him Mr Stevie Wonderful

[@araya52]

All of Stevie's albums are priceless, but this particular album is a masterpiece for sure. Stevie is Poetry!

[@mrblackhawk56]

I love this song. It was just as good when played in "The Best Man." Love you for listening & just being the Best!!!

[@leebutz4727]

If the 'Legend' Stevie Wonder ever come to your town go to his concert it's absolutely amazing!

[@Fleece3]

This is the greatest song ever written!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@amrikiaswad4263]

We still play this at House Music Parties in Chicago. This song is needed for every generation.

[@patriciadavis5939]

My favorite artist in the world.😊😊😊🥰🥰🌺🌺🎼🎵🎶

[@chester187]

Musical Genius on a whole different level! Plus a freedom fighter for peace and love and respect for everyone!! Stevie is more than just music.......Steve is love!!

[@kellz7313]

My favorite Stevie song!

[@lutherbrice1316]

Much of the older music has its foundation in the church. So you’re correct in your analogy, hence the phrase in music “take me to church. “

[@hildat8]

Hello Luther. I’ve noticed your requests on several music reaction sites. We seemed to love the same music. I love that you request “Deliver The Word” a lot. I believe that War is the most innovative funk band ever. They were before EW&F, Tower of Power, AWB, Maze, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I love if of their music also, but War has never been given the credit they deserve. It is criminal that they are not in the Music Hall of Fame. But I just wanted to say hello to a fellow music lover. 😊

[@thekidd8705]

I concur with the rest of the comments..One of the greatest songs ever on one of the greatest albums ever

[@HerveHightower]

Stevie wonder totally genius that has bless us with for nearly 7decades.

[@lucabraga3471]

This song is a masterpiece; the lyrics delivered by an "angry" Stevie in the bridge are of a pure genius...

[@JeffreyMassey-n2g]

This song reflects the highest love. "Agape Love" 👍

[@carlahorton9577]

Your soul is being soothed baby girl. Music is how we survived in this crazy world....

[@stephaniejones4749]

I love Stevie Wonder he have so many hits. He is the man!

[@jasonchavarro1234]

"As", to me represents Stevie's entire essence in a microcosm. What he was trying to express in his entire career, he found the voice for in this album. "As" represents everything, love is eternal and love is life. Using forces of nature to further his point that love unites man and the entirety of this realm. It's a song that follows "If It's Magic" on the album where Stevie sings a prayer to God to make love forever present. "As" is God expressing what THAT love looks and feels like. This is "As".

[@mharrislove]

...that's the thing, the whole song "is a bar" 🎶

[@michaelprice3992]

Great request and my favorite song by Stevie out of a TON of his songs I love! This one IMO is his most "complete" song meaning production, arrangement, instrumentation, vocals, lyrics...ALL of it came together for a perfect song! Ive seen Stevie perform live many times and each time the As part of the show was an EXPERIENCE!!! Whats crazy is the 5 singles released from that Songs in the Key of Life album, As was the last released and the worst charts performer out of the 5....😮...when it was IMO the best out of the 5!

[@j.r.shackelford2144]

I loved this song as a kid! I can remember it was a double album. I was drawn to the artwork. You know you couldn't touch your parents albums back then. 😂😂

[@falcon215]

'Songs in the Key of Life' was one of my very first musical purchases when I was in high school and it first came out. Amazing variety of styles and creativity.

[@antav9371]

Greatness !

[@AuntieNina68]

This album, music and artwork, is huge in my childhood. Cookouts, cleaning house. The soundtrack of my life🥰

[@alphonzodarty7021]

What's incredible to me about Stevie is how you can hear his musical influences from the 70s in today's artists in R&B, probably moreso than any other.

[@williamj6974]

This album is in the top 10 of all time

[@lavelleadams9591]

Powerful song

[@lbagz202]

Masterpiece writing and production

[@Andre-x4g]

Love this album one of the greatest of all time

[@Jmilewil5]

Musical genius. Stevie!

[@joelburks6063]

I went to see stevie live and after an hour he took a break. Some folk left. He came back on stage and performed for another hour!

[@mostmost1]

Magnificent song.

[@princedejour2686]

Mr. Stevie Wonder was a child prodigy that turned out to be one of the greatest musicians, composers, and gifted artists that the world has ever seen! There will never be another!

[@williampollard1589]

I Love Your Reactions To This and To All The Music You Listen To ‼️❣️it’s So Real And honest. Keep It 💯 Sweetheart And I Love You 🙏🏾❣️ God Bless You and Your Family 🙏🏾💛♥️🙏🏾

[@dithomson7343]

And that is why he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996. But he didn’t stop there, as we all know.

[@Jagangela]

Another stand alone...Mr. Stevie Wonder! Can't be touched!

[@rodneyharper2275]

Alright Ashley 😁

[@jccullars4266]

Your expression says it all.. in my opinion that song is one of greatest songs written lyrically.

[@GoldenLady1007]

"Now ain't that loving you? Hey." Stevie is a class all by himself. I have always and will always LOVE this song. ✨️😯💛

[@darkhalo0868]

Stevie's catalog consists of nothing but gems. This one right here is one of his best works. Check out "That Girl" by Stevie, I think you'll like it.

[@zanohoriamazo1]

Fender Rhodes electric piano solo is unmatched jazz master legend Herbie Hancock.🌟

[@emmagardner7071]

Stevie is my birthday twin(5/13 same year)and music is what we do.'Got every CD or Albums he ever did. Forever one of my favorites!!💃💃💃

[@jeffreyharvey9919]

You nailed. This truly is a song in the key of life - equally fitting for a wedding, a funeral, or the birth of a child.

[@Fruit17-ip4vl]

Great Reaction from Ashley! 👍🏽❤️😎 Excellent request! ❤ Yesssssssssssssssssssss! THE AR SQUAD IS LIT! 😎❤️🔥 You can’t go wrong with Stevie Wonder! I was listening to his greatest hits CD today! He is up there with the GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL TIME!

[@bossross313]

You should seriously consider reacting to about 3/4 of the song on this album. Song In The Key of life is in my opinion one of the top 5 albums EVER!! Listening to this album give you a sense of hope, peace and joy and helps you understand what LOVE is supposed to truly be about!!

[@JamesReed-k6e]

Stevie's Magnus opus! This album is his greatest achievement and my favorite Stevie Wonder Album❤!

[@jimmoore8951]

Always… how long will Stevie’s music leave us feeling this way? Always

[@ktpkennedy]

You received that gospel feeling because the song is about God's love in addition to romantic love and family love.

[@shambramulder4082]

Best Man Holiday version 😢😢😢

[@jdubya30062]

I recall my older sister having this recording. It consisted of 2 albums and a 45 and all of its outstanding and has remained in my rotation for decades. Happy you’re getting exposure to this essential recording!

[@Mystique2u]

Happy Thanksgiving Ashley, and the A.R. SQUAD!!! Stevie is one of those artist/writers that puts out music that you can trust will be played from start to finished without any interruptions. For me, it all started in 1972, with his albums "Music of My Mind, Talking Book, and Inversions. 🔥🔥🔥Gonna go down a Stevie W, rabbit hole tonight! 🎶💖

[@absolutfushia]

Echo everyone else here....this whole album deserves a review! All 50-11 songs! No skips among them!!

[@GoldenLady1007]

Not. One. I wore the grooves off this album. ✨️😊💛

[@lindaveal5124]

This album was, as you would say, "LIT"!

[@williamj6974]

Don't forget he's blind and has never seen most of the things he's describing except in his powerful mind

[@ValerieJohnson-nl9wu]

Stevie did this song at Aretha Franklin's funeral as well

[@jillday2955]

I would put this one song against most other artists' catalogs - it is exquisite! Great reaction, Ashley! #WhatUpDoe

[@LadybugLuv]

To me this song and Prince's Adore are companions! They are on such a higher frequency they're surely spiritual! The lyrics are phenomenal!

[@pbettselectric134]

y'all know what it is, -Perfection in your Soul.

[@darksharxz]

My Favorite Stevie song✊🏿

[@GeraldChisolm]

Great 2 set album

[@trocktp]

Arguably the best catalog in music history!

[@NJbakintheday]

Back in the day, as kids, we used to wear this double album out on our little portable record player... singing along with hairbrushes as microphones! Stevie (along with groups like Earth, Wind, and Fire) was prolific in the 70s!

[@ValerieJohnson-nl9wu]

You're the best at this Ashley I listen to you used to listen to others but not anymore young adult years I really appreciate

[@RichBrand]

One of the most slept on sideman jobs with Herbie on the Rhodes.

[@bakercarl8518]

Ashley!!! A BIG YES!!! The man , the music... WINNER.

[@dwainwilder7337]

You say you like poetry, if so, there is no one greater at combining poetry and music that Arthur Prysock. Listen to “Your Body Makes Eyes At Me” to start this rabbit hole journey, keep in mind that this recording doesn’t display his deep singing vocal range. He is an unsung masterful recording artist! This entire album will blow your mind!

[@vanessaseymour2634]

Songs In The Key Of Life is my favorite album. I've seen Stevie several times and it's even better live.

[@mamafanniespralines6792]

Great song remember as a child this song came out took me over 45 years to realize this song is about a Relationship God has about us as Humans heard stevie wonder say in a Interview thank song game from some bible Verses and said it took some a few days to him to hear from God what else to write.

[@DarlingNikki65]

This whole album is a must hear experience! This was one of the very first albums I got as a child in elementary school. I still have it and every song on it is a masterpiece! 🔥❤️

[@StewartWilliams-i9h]

PFunk landing of the mother ship live

[@CPACK1]

Saw him on stage at 13 years old - Fox Theater - Detroit. He has so many great songs.

[@donniemustdie5663]

my first concert was in october and i was blessed to have it be Stevie. i cried then entire show
