Stevie Wonder and Stevie Ray Vaughan - Superstition (1989)

Funkiest version of Superstition!
Stevie Wonder, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jody Watley, Salt 'n' Pepa and Brown Mark

[@alreadyamemberman]

I can't believe that: A)This even happened and was recorded. B)The television showed the greatness. C)MTV aired it. It is amazing.

[@Gangrel442003]

And it needs to be digitally remastered and reintroduced...

[@arrtdave]

I just came across this...dag nabbit...it's awesome!

[@Hotrodsparky]

D) I've never seen it before....

[@EdwardScott-qq8rt]

U tube awesome the 2 greats

[@dennishinkle5010]

Remember when MTV actually had good music on the channel. Never will they top this.

[@biglowe4776]

And this was 1989???

[@TheDCGuitar13]

Stevie Ray Vaughan could own whatever genre he wanted man. He was special.

[@maureendrozda9033]

A TRUE Artist, Stevie Ray Was...!🎸😁.....😢😭🙏

[@FloridaManRacer]

you wouldn't think SRV's voice would fit so well with Stevie Wonder's but man this WORKS. Love it.

[@matthews.obrian62]

Oh Man I did not realize this ever existed. Two master of the song.

[@MrRoccolola]

Yes indeed love it

[@jamesdepaul5665]

Me too. Definition of jamming

[@fotoviano]

more than two

[@wendileona]

Brown Mark was the bassist for Prince's The Revolution band of the 80's. You can see Mark's Funk groovin' while playing that bass. I can proudly say I met two people on there and I can't believe they were in the presence of SRV. Wow. This floored me then, still does, what a combination! - Gary

[@maureendrozda9033]

FUNK IT!!!!

[@LanieLight]

No one could sing like Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[@njmariner22]

Stevie had so much respect for Stevie Ray. He heard Stevie Ray's rendition and immediately said, Damn that's good...Stevie Ray was so worried and was so relieved. Anyone who hasn't heard the story behind it should check it out. So many greats that Stevie Ray played with....loved him to death Never gonna be another.

Really miss Vaughan. Not gonna find that kinda guitar or voice ever again. He was taken from us way too soon.

[@Brandon-youtube]

He’s not the same and wouldn’t want to be equated but Philip Sayce is crazy talented and under appreciated, check him out

[@ProudSoul2014]

There’s 49 people who gave this a thumbs down; I’d like to think their finger slipped in meaning to press a thumbs up. How can you not like this? This is legendary, never to be repeated in history ever again. Stevie and Stevie, two of the best technical musicians of all time born on different sides of the track, coming together for this was a really beautiful thing. Hits me right in my nostalgia organ.

[@maureendrozda9033]

Maybe They Have Just LOST All Their Hearing...👂👂👂....So SAD For Those Folks!

[@DaleShepard50]

All those that gave it a thumbs down probably clap on 1 and 3

[@welcome_to_the_dojo]

They probably hit the wrong button using their noses because they had their real thumbs stuck up their asses. It's impossible to not like this tune!!!

[@dillathehun]

I’d like to think they are all just cunts mate

[@joegonzalez4468]

Best version ever!

[@bhalstead470]

Hands Down. One of THEE GREATEST Jam Sessions EVER!

[@sastaroo]

I've never heard Vaughan sing until I saw this video. A coworker of mine was a big fan of his, and now I see why. Awesome! Just awesome! This version kicks arse!!

[@maureendrozda9033]

ARSE, YES!!!👏👏👏

[@Emil-Andreasson06]

I cry myself to sleep every night because they didnt form a band called ”Stevie Ray Wonder”

[@maureendrozda9033]

RIGHT???

[@ocpowerlifters]

One of the greatest Southern Blues guys with some of the best R and B People ever, Music is the way of life everybody, this was amazing!!!!

[@aloisemason3044]

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Stevie Wonder..two legends that are Sensational and going out into the airwaves..what a tribute..

[@TheBamaPrinceable]

Stevie Wonder, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jody Watley, Salt-N-Pepa and Brown Mark all in one fever dream of a performance. The 1980s is a pretty celebrated decade for music but I don't think people truly give due to just how stacked Stacked STACKED with talent it was... just absolutely overflowing with it from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 1989.

[@jeffis1337]

Incredible...SRVs tone is insanely amazing and the tune is funky as hell

[@sastaroo]

This is the first time I've ever heard Stevie Ray Vaughan sing. Good stuff! What a tragedy he is gone.

[@linnamuuf]

Stevie Ray Vaughan is the greatest blues musician and - guitarist of all times!

[@mikelmarion]

No

[@bobbyc3895]

Now I have to wonder how many other of these forgotten pieces of musical history MTV/VH1 are sitting on.

[@markbaker9019]

Just...WOW! What a combination of talent. SRV and Stevie Wonder with Jody Watley, S n' P and Brown Mark from Prince's band. I'm just in awe.

[@fraundakelmbrilpondaprost90]

This song is in the highest echelon of funk.

[@scottperry6865]

Yeah it is

[@peteybuoy]

MTV's finest moment...

[@jamesdepaul5665]

Without question

[@elvspretzl]

Pinnacle!

[@Gangrel442003]

From your lips, to God's ears

[@rogeratkinson592]

I found this by accident.... and.... glad I did. SRV really honored those who rose to fame before he did. It was so cool of Stevie Wonder to share the stage with SRV.

[@maureendrozda9033]

Stevie Wonder Loved SRV & Loved His Version Of Superstition - He & Double Trouble Recorded It @ (Stevie) WONDERLAND Studio - Then When SRV & DT Did Their Superstition VIDEO (My Favorite Of Theirs!) - Stevie Wonder Had A Great Cameo @ The End - With An An Amazing Blacl Kitty!...."Come Visit Stevie!"😁😁😁😉😹

This mix of my two favorite genres, funk and soul and the blues, is literally the greatest discovery of my live. I had no idea this existed till today

I'm surprised the universe hasn't exploded from all of the talent in a one mile radius.

[@genigaasgaye5577]

Too cool. Stevie and Stevie. I admire the way that SRV, the only white face in the line-up, can hang with these people, even when they are laying down the funk. Great talent.

I was today’s years old when I found that this Superstition collaboration between the two Stevies existed! Thank you so much for sharing this spectacular event!

[@wendileona]

Jezuz! 4:36 SRV stops it on the One then gets into this pure Funk playing vamp! Dude, Stevie Ray also had the Funk in him! Oh man... too good... I remember that kicking my ass when I first saw it then. I also love the way Stevie Wonder gets possessed by the groove a little before that!

[@christopherspringer2764]

"Here, kitty, kitty! Come to Stevie!" I love the fact that the two Stevie's, even though they have completely different backgrounds, different skin colors, and are part of different genres are so fluid together. If these two formed a band, they would have been unstoppable.

[@sixstringfretter]

This was MTV at it's peak. From '86 thru '90 was, to me, when they finally got it. Up till then, they were still learning and tweaking the product. This period is when artist taylored their music to do well on MTV. So many great programs I remember. Headbangers Ball, the interviews, the weekly countdowns with Martha Quinn & Allen Hunter, Nina Blackwood & JJ Jackson (RIP) Now, Wouldn't piss on it if it were on fire. Once "Yo, MTV Raps" took off, so did I.

[@napgill]

WOW.... BROWN MARK FROM PRINCE'S "THE REVOLUTION" ON BASS....

Two Stevie were making a crazy hard fancy funk music.

[@70banksia]

1963 (14 years old) in Oz studying for my high school exams listening to rock AM station 2SM and at 8.45pm they would play 4 new tracks each weekday night which you could phone in and have a vote. On came Stevie with Fingertips Part 1 / next Saturday caught the train into the city and ordered the single then waited 2 months for it to arrive. Finally picked it up and played the 45RPM to death over the next few years but I had discovered my life long hero til this day.
