Stevie Wonder
Not a ton of tunes I liked by him but I always liked this song. Man has a ton of talent though.

i went to see him in concert once Paul while i was out West... and i was absolutely AMAZED that this Blind guy could play so many dammed instruments so incredibly well one after another or interchangeably and i couldn't play even one having my sight. |
I always liked Stevie a lot - nearly wore out several of his albums. The Innervisions album is on a par with any of the landmark albums of the time, IMHO.
'Jesus Children of America' from that album is probably lesser known but lyrically and musically classic for the period - and still sounds pretty damned good to me...:uhuh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM4wv...F93F42&index=4 |
Another great version of 'Livin for the City' - live with Ray Charles:

:cool: Went to see the Stones at the Garden in '72. Stevie was the opening act. Stones got popped at the airport in Warwick. Stevie went on and played for over 4 hours while Mick & Keith were getting bailed out of jail. The Wonder's steppin' up probably help avoid a riot. :claps: :btu:

I was working at Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood CA @ 1992 and met Stevie when he came in to check out some keyboard electronics. He was an extremely nice guy and it was magic when he touched the keys.
