I know your very innocent and don't like curse words in videos and like hip hop. I think you need to listen to COAST CONTRA, maybe start off with never freestyle 🙏 any one of their songs are good!!
To clarify recording and release dates Recording dates - Money 7 June 72 to 9 Jan 73, Higher Ground 12 May 73 Release dates - Money 1 March 73 (Album) 7 May 73 (Single), Higher Ground July 73 Money was released before Stevie Wonder started recording Higher Ground
Not only that (well done …) but *_Higher Ground_* is music in a "very normal" 4/4 while Money, in the part where the similarities "would have" emerged, is a very "particular" 7⁄4 (often equivocal for 7⁄8). This is something a musician should have noticed right away ... and it should have made a difference!
Totally different songs. Stevie’s more funk played all the way in straight 4/4 while Floyd’s was in 7/4 with a swing feel. Well not 7/4 through the whole song. The guitar solo was in 4/4 simply because David Gilmour, the guitarist could not find a solo over the odd time signature, but it made for a very interesting performance with the change up.
The ending is so weird because it's a concept album where the songs are directly connected, so they had to cut it because the next song is about to start without any break. I would recommend to listen to the whole Album at once, it can be a deep experience with your own consciousness, quite psychedelic.
And furthering this. The song was actually recorded in June of 1972 and was released on May 7, 1973. As legend has it, the song Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder was said to have been created in an "incredible" 3-hour-long creativity session by Stevie Wonder in May of 1973... hmm...Sounds to me like he just finished listening to Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd, which of course has this song.
When I was selling stereo gear back in the day Dark Side of the Moon was a favorite speaker demo album. We'd use the beginning of Side 1 Track 1 "Speak to Me/Breathe" for low-end frequency response and tightness in the bass then we'd flip the album over and use the bells and cash registers to demo high end and transient response from the hottest dome tweeters. This album was awesome for so many reasons
I honestly had never thought of Higher Ground but I hear it now! So Stevie wrote and recorded Higher Ground in May 1973, the same month Dark Side was released. But Pink Floyd had already been performing it for months live and had already recorded it. Not suggesting that any plagiarism was involved, just coincidental timing, but an interesting connection for sure
think more about who influenced both Pink Floyd and Stevie Wonder in their writing vs which one of the two stole a style from each other. They were all playing and performing from the mid-60s and were swimming in a rich musical cultural stew. Neither needed to steal ideas, everyone was influencing everyone, they all had ears. Thanks for the reaction, glad you could hear such a great song, listen to the whole album. When I was 10 yo in like 1980 my uncle sat me down - and my dad, who was not at all interested - and showed off his new stereo system by playing this album. It is meant to be heard as a whole, like so many of the greatest albums. It isn't really suited to bite-size media dumps without contextualization.
This is one album, 8-track, cassette or compact disc, I've had in my collection for 50 years. Bought the album sophomore year of high school back in 1973.
According to Wikipedia, Money was recorded: 7 June 1972 - 9 January 1973, Dark Dide of the Moon was released in March 1973, and Stevie Wonder wrote and recorded Higher Ground in May 1973. So, Money came first and was released before Wonder wrote Higher Ground. Dark Side of the Moon was my favorite album when it came out, but unfortunately, I no longer have the original vinyl record, though I did replace it. I left my first copy stacked on my turntable with two of my other favorites, set to drop automatically. I had to run out for something, and when I got back, the sun had come around through the window and turned them all into lampshades. The other two records were Jackson Brown's Late For the Sky, and Linda Ronstadt's Prisoner in Disguise. Incidentally, I like Linda's version of I Will Always Love You, better than Whitney's. Just saying. Sorry to my fellow Pink Floyd fans for rambling off subject. For those who don't know, in England, asking for a rise means a raise (in pay). Off subject again, I saw Stevie Wonder open for the Stones in June 1972 at Winterland in San Francisco. I was lucky enough to live in the area at the time when SF was a rock and roll mecca.
That whole Album is unbelievable! One of the greatest albums ever! This was jaw dropping back in the day! Also, best album to test your stereo on! I saw them live Tampa stadium and they had speaker on every side of the stadium. The ticket said, "An Evening of Sight and Sound" With Pink Floyd! That was their Animal tour from their next album "Animals" another unbelievable album!
That album is a masterpiece! The musicality and composition and the instrumental parts is just mindblowing! ( But then again, so is much of their writing...)
With Dark Side of the Moon being a concept album, the use of the sound effects was innovative. They did the same thing with other songs and albums such as "Time", "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals". Alan Parsons (pre-Alan Parsons Project) was the sound engineer for Dark Side. The bass-line throughout the song is stronger than usual and the sax is just outstanding. Listen to "Great Gig in the Sky" and think about covering it. Thanx for continuing Pink Floyd.
Once, again, I'm sad you won't be able to attend a Pink Floyd show. :) They weren't just concerts, but events. Best live shows that I've ever seen (and I've seen plenty). I enjoyed your reaction, as always!
So if you like this then I’d recommend listening to the whole album from start to finish. When you hear the songs in the context they’re written in they’ll make more sense for their “weird outros”
Even the production details of this song are insane. That ringing cash register/coins/bass guitar loop at the beginning was 20-30 years before digital loop edits. So they manually looped reel-to-reel tape all around the recording booth, through mike stands and stuff to simulate the loop recording effect. (Guess you had to be there.) 😯😉
Maggie, since you were so fascinated by the congruence of Money and Higher Ground, and it relates to classical music, you should DEFINITELY react to the Pachabel Rant by Rob Paravonian!
Excuse me but Mar 1973 Pink Floyds release date came before July 1973 Stevies release date. D.S.O.F.M. was on the air waves 4 full months before Stevies album dropped...
First of all, Maggie. How has your training in opera in expressing emotion to the gods helped with your TH-cam channel? Secondly, I'm related to Dick Parry, the saxophonist, as my grandparents came from that part of England.
Pink Floyd played improvised music live during BBC’s moon landing broadcast in 1969 (the instrumental was later called “Moonhead.”) PF recycled its baseline for “Money.”
Stevie Winder started at a early age in Mowtown along with Micheal Jackson and the Jackson 5 Micheal was a little younger than Stevie at tge time . Pink Floyd was inspired by Stevie Wonder And Micheal So was Zeppelin but they were also inspired by other artists as well 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀😃🙃😊😇😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀😃
Fun fact Floyd often played elements of music they were developing for their albums during live events prior to the albums release So it’s possible Stevie Wonder heard it and took elements of the music and made it his own. Possible but who knows for sure
The album dark side of the moon is a concept album the spoken voices are all through the album and in this instant, leads into the next track. the voices were recorded from staff and crew in the studio while the album was being put together Roger Waters wrote cards with questions on gave them to the staff and recorded their answers, I believe the question for this part was when were you last violent. The Album is the fourth biggest selling album of all time, 50 million copies and the album spent the longest nonconsecutive run in the Billboard top 200 from 1973 till 1989
You need to hone Your math a bit, "wonder" clearly heard this and copied it, based on data on dates only though. Maybe there's more to the story, but seems clear copy to me. Really nice catch btw. Amazing! I never got this connection and I love rhcp version of Higher Ground as well...
The reason the ending was weird, is because the songs on The Dark Side Of The Moon album are all connected. (Track one feeds into two, which feeds to track three, and so on. No engineered audio breaks between tracks.)
Need to remember in the 1970's we did not have the ability to listen to music like today. Mostly we would hear a song and buy the whole album. FM radio was just starting and album tracks were not very common. No much chance musicians heard each others new music unless they were recording at the same place. Not as much stolen music as you imagine.
i dont think so, the time signature obviously main thing that distinguish the song.. i mean i been listening to higher ground since i was a kid doesn't seem similar to me when i first heard money like 7 years ago
In the movie Pink Floyd The Wall, when they are starting to sing We Don't Need No Education, the teacher grabs a book from the student and reads it. Its a poem which just happens to be the start of the song Money. Makes you wonder if the song Money was already written before The Wall album or if Roger decided to finish the poem and make it into the song Money?
No Stevie Wonder released Higher Ground in August 1973 and Dark Side of the Moon was March of 1973. And Wonder's tune is 4/4 and Money is 7/8 - a different funk altogether. Comparing their rhythms, syncopation and funk is like comparing opera to screeching cats in heat! (i.e. the two are night and day different)
It's not 7/8, but it's 7/4 (this has been publicly confirmed by both David and Rick) ... and it would be enough to listen to the alternation of roll and hi-hat to figure it out.
Some of the coolest things about this song... 1. The majority of it, barring the guitar solo section, is in 7/4 time. David Gilmour had no interest trying to work out a guitar solo in that time signature, so the band found a cool way to transition into 4/4, and back into 7/4 after the solo. 2. Difficulty level Expert - like most songs on this album, the lead vocals were double tracked. The engineer, Alan Parsons, raved about David Gilmour's ability to nearly perfectly record his vocal identically. I can tell you from personal experience, doing it as well as Gilmour did is practically superhuman. 3. Equally insane - most of the guitar solo (pretty much all of it minus that quiet center section where the guitar moves to just the left channel) was ALSO double tracked. Now, that normally wouldn't be nearly as hard as the vocal, but getting those bends, especially the high ones near the end before the song reverts back to 4/4, to be just about identical, is high wire talent.
Hello Maggie, I have just heard Geoff Castellucci’version ,of Jack’s Lament From The Nightmare Before Christmas, I would love to hear your comments on it.
I've never seen it stated BUT the random spoken background words, all seem to echoe one of the album themes, the track "Brain Damage" has the line "there's someone in my head and it's not me" So the thought of hearing voices saying things completely unrelated over which you have no control... another consciousness inside your own skull seems pretty scary!
Time line is complex according to Wiki, SW recorded higher ground on 12/5/73 and released it in July 73. Pink Floyd recorded it between 7/6/72 and 9/1/73 and released the song on 7 May 1973. The kicker is that Money was on the Album Dark Side of the Moon which was released 1/3/73. So money was released prior to higher Ground
Very good interesting that Money and Higher Ground were released the same year 1973. David Gilmour said they were borrowing from the song Green Onions.
If you want awesome try Austin Brown's "Bring Him Home" you won't be disappointed, and come on it's Austin! I still can't get over how much you look exactly like my girlfriend from 1969, 55 years ago so perhaps it's just wishful thinking but I'm sure she was at least almost as pretty as you, the hair though, that is spot on I do remember that like yesterday, can almost feel and smell it still.
At the time of this writing "Dark Side Of The Moon album is approx 50 years old. IMO as long as there's a 15 year old kid playing music in his mom's basement he'll always think he's the one that first discovered this album.
Maggie Renee... I've been watching your reactions for some time now (over a yr) as you expended your music tastes. I know a little of your history and you seem to let all hang out sort of speak with the found love of CLASSIC Rock from the 70's & 80's. Might I suggest if you have a friend that knows a friend that has access to "MARYJANE".. you must try with Pink Floyd!! peace

They were recording on two different continents at around the same time. Coincidence
They were playing it live from January 1972
It's bloody slander. Thaks for the facts.
Totally different songs. Stevie’s more funk played all the way in straight 4/4 while Floyd’s was in 7/4 with a swing feel. Well not 7/4 through the whole song.

especially if you can get hold of the quadraphonic album on a appropriate record player
You need to listen to the album in full, to get an appreciation to how amazing Pink Floyd is...
This song came out before the other two. So Jackson and Wonder sampled Pink Floyd. This song came out in 1973
And furthering this. The song was actually recorded in June of 1972 and was released on May 7, 1973.

I was a teenager during the 70’s. My top 3 songs were and still are Money by Pink Floyd, Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh and La Grange by ZZTop.
When I was selling stereo gear back in the day Dark Side of the Moon was a favorite speaker demo album.

Hey Maggie, that saxophone solo in this song was actually provided by a session musician as Pink Floyd doesn't have a member that plays saxophone
think more about who influenced both Pink Floyd and Stevie Wonder in their writing vs which one of the two stole a style from each other. They were all playing and performing from the mid-60s and were swimming in a rich musical cultural stew. Neither needed to steal ideas, everyone was influencing everyone, they all had ears.

This is my favourite song by Pink Floyd. The bass line is fantastic.
Absolutely fantastic song. The radio edit of it that cuts out half of the guitar solo makes me want to break something.
STILL the Greatest Concept Album in Music History !
A little fun fact...that album stayed on the charts for 13 years..awesome album
It's a wonder how you didn't mention Pink Floyd's perfect use of the 7/4 time signature. They pulled it off like no one else could.
Maggie did mention the 7/4 time signature for the sax, shortly after the 1 minute mark.
Thanks! Dark Side of the Moon is a fantastic album. This was just one of the standout tracks. Loved your reaction. 🌚

You have to get back to Pink Floyd 94 pulse concert do Sorrow and High Hopes. Learning to Fly. So much more you’ll be amazed some more.
Money is composed in a 7/8 scale, higher ground in 4/4...big difference
That album is a masterpiece! The musicality and composition and the instrumental parts is just mindblowing!

The single Money was released in May of 1973. Higher Ground was released in July of 1973. Money came out a little before Higher Ground.
Dark Side of the Moon was 1973, Songs in the Key of Life was '76 so Money was First. 2 great albums in my collection.
I've been listening to Floyd for over 50 years they still blows me away Dark Side WYWH and The Wall are all classics
So if you like this then I’d recommend listening to the whole album from start to finish. When you hear the songs in the context they’re written in they’ll make more sense for their “weird outros”
Listen to pink floyd live echoes Pompeii 1971.
Phantom of the Opera took the baseline for there play from this song.
Pink floyde was 6 months before Stevie Wonder
Well and you found that out so ya...
Great reaction! One of my all time favorite albums. I would love to see a reaction to Great Gig in the Sky from the same album. Thanks!
May I say the sound quality of your TH-cam channel playback is very good quality. Unlike many TH-cam channels. So well done.
Too broken up, and irrelevant comparisons
I would recommend Time from this same album. Opinions vary, but it's definitely one of if not the best songs on it.

Dick Parry was the saxophonist , he often worked with Pink Floyd. Please check out his lovely atmospheric playing on Us and Them
Money was released just before Highrr Ground was recorded. But they arent similar enough for PF to sue. I doubt Stevie stole it, he was very creative.

Just a ittle tid bit unless someone has already posted it...the song written in 6/8 time, but changes to 4/4 in order for the lead part to be played.
Please stop using remastered aka pitch corrected versions. This version is flat compared with the original
Im sorry but I dont hear any similarity between the two songs. Money is unique.
i dont think so, the time signature obviously main thing that distinguish the song.. i mean i been listening to higher ground since i was a kid doesn't seem similar to me when i first heard money like 7 years ago

Money was written 1972 and released 1973, the wall album in 1979, the movie came out in 1982.

Time line is complex according to Wiki, SW recorded higher ground on 12/5/73 and released it in July 73. Pink Floyd recorded it between 7/6/72 and 9/1/73 and released the song on 7 May 1973. The kicker is that Money was on the Album Dark Side of the Moon which was released 1/3/73. So money was released prior to higher Ground
Money is musically more complex an much longer. An this got played on the late night Album Oriented Rock radio station Stevie didn't
Very good interesting that Money and Higher Ground were released the same year 1973. David Gilmour said they were borrowing from the song Green Onions.
If you want awesome try Austin Brown's "Bring Him Home" you won't be disappointed, and come on it's Austin!
I still can't get over how much you look exactly like my girlfriend from 1969, 55 years ago so perhaps it's just wishful thinking but I'm sure she was at least almost as pretty as you, the hair though, that is spot on I do remember that like yesterday, can almost feel and smell it still.
No more.
At the time of this writing "Dark Side Of The Moon album is approx 50 years old. IMO as long as there's a 15 year old kid playing music in his mom's basement he'll always think he's the one that first discovered this album.
Maggie Renee... I've been watching your reactions for some time now (over a yr) as you expended your music tastes. I know a little of your history and you seem to let all hang out sort of speak with the found love of CLASSIC Rock from the 70's & 80's.
Might I suggest if you have a friend that knows a friend that has access to "MARYJANE".. you must try with Pink Floyd!!
peace
Both Dark Side of the Moon and Innervisions were released in 1973. Dark Side in March and before Innervisions in August
