Yes that is Minnie Riperton on background vocals
Stevie nos teclados , bateria e gaita❤
Creepin' is one of the greatest pop songs ever written.
Agreed
One of my favourite Stevie Wonder songs.Having Minnie Riperton on this track was an added bonus!🎶🌴
@@ragjamrock Had the same thought about Minnie Ripperton. Really adds to an amazing song.
Such a mood. Great harmonica. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for watching Rob!
I actually grew up on Luther Vandross's remake of this song which came a decade after. I found out much later that Stevie was the originator. Luther added alot of great changes and iconic vocal play but I prefer this version.
We'll have to check out Luther's version sometime. Thanks for watching!
Same here. I'd heard stevie's at some point but forgot about it and recently rediscovered it. Love stevie and minnie's vocals together. Love luther's but im a stevie stan even though a lot of the music i live came a generation before mine so very rarely can i live a remake of his music more than the original
Yep, me too! But I’m older & came up with this album, actually the 1st Stevie album I had, then got Songs in Key.
There are so many truly wondrous Wonder songs. The 70s were, indeed, a golden time in music. With "Creepin..." lyrically, Stevie made thoughts of fantasy & wet dreams sound softly tempting. The late great Minnie Riperton adding her luscious vocals to Stevie's already lovely composition made it an aural slice of Heaven. Obviously you would dig this one. What more is left to say... but WOW?! BTW: "Free" was sang by Deniece Williams (but she & Minnie had a similar sound).
Yeah Niecy Williams was a backup singer for Stevie around this time.
@@sirjer73 ZACKLY! If you ever check the LP "Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta" there's a song called 'Heavy Day" featuring backing vocals by Minnie, Niecy & Syreeta. The perfect blend of their voices is ANGELIC!
Wow is right!
@@moanman1776 I'm gone check that out
This record has an amazing texture given to it by the synthesizers. By this point, Wonder had become a masterful producer.
Agreed!
You know a song is great when you're singing it out loud when you're walking to the grocery store. Then... when you wake up you just not right until you hear that killer tune. I'm Creepin' addicted y'all!!
Yeah!
“Loving You” was the Minnie Ripperton song that became a big hit for her in the mid-70s.
She has a good ear cause she's plucked that out of the air lol
I recall listening to this in headphones back in the day, & trippin on that background vocal, how distinctly sensual Minnie Ripperton sounded, even her breathing on the part, ‘Why does it seem…& So let it be…’ She was sooo special as an individual personality that we didn’t often get to see. You can see where Mya gets her vibrant personality. Minnie was just loving, warm, funny, & spontaneous. She was comfortable being interviewed etc. Donna Summer was like that too. Both gone too soon. If you check appearances, whether on Soul Train, Mike Douglas show, whatever, a lot of 70’s artist seemed rather timid & not particularly comfortable being interviewed on t.v., whether J5 or Chaka Kahn, & many more. Some of the icons handled it cool & were easily at home, like Stevie, Marvin, James Brown, Gladys Knight, Sly Stone. On another note, Stevie’s harmonica solo is golden! So expressive & relevant to the song. The J5 sang back up on You Haven’t Done Nothin. Michael did sing background on All I Do from Stevie’s Hotter Tham July album, another masterpiece. Whew! Long winded, my bad. 👍
Thanks for sharing that amazing history Zanohoriamazo1!
Creepin' is one of Stevie Wonder's most melodically appealing non-hit singles. Muted synths and nocturnal Fender Rhodes give the song a smoky atmosphere that envelops you completely. The piece, written and composed by Wonder, is a fine specimen of jazz-tinted R&B at its very best, with the artist and guest Minnie Riperton filling the sonic plane with tight harmonies and thickly layered chorales. Simply amazing!
Stevie at his lush, warm best sonically...don't know what else needs saying. So good, I didn't know I knew it until I heard it...it's been decades. Love, LOVE it!
Hard not to love!! Thanks Damon :)
@@SightAfterDark cheers, guys, thanks a kajillion for bringing so much great music back into my life! 👍😚🎶💞
Stevie Wonder plays all the instruments himself on “Creepin'”. The background vocalist is Minnie Riperton, famous for having a vocal range of more than 5 octaves and also one of the first celebrities to go public with her breast cancer from which she died in 1979.
Legends all around
No mention of that smooth harmonica solo that Stevie played?
HA sometimes when we're doing a whole album, we forget what we already said. We definitely mentioned the harmonica somewhere!
Yes Debarge was on Motown and yes Stevie did collaborate on their song “Love Me In A Special Way.” He plays the harmonica solo during the bridge. Great video guys as usual! Keep’ em coming!😎
Thanks for watching!
"Creepin" & "They Won't go when i Go" is a two best song by the masterpiece album "Fulfilingness First Finale".
Absolutely Sam!
Stevie wrote and played the keyboards on Minnie's song Lovin' You.
Nice! Thanks Ron!
Love both versions. I got a chance to hear Luther sing this at a concert at Radio City Music Hall. It was amazing. I think the entire audience was transfixed at the time.
We could imagine!
Sifa you nailed it - thats minnie riperton!
Also its funny you should mention MJ cuz the jackson 5 are on the next song haha
We're tapped in!
That was indeed Minnie Riperton, and the song you're thinking about was "Lovin' you".
Yes, Stevie did produce DeBarge, The Jacksons, and many others.
thanks so much for a great reaction, guys - one of my very favourite sir stevland songs - and spot on with identifying miss minnie on backing vocals (miss syreeta must have been on sabbatical!). a bit of a premonition with the jacksons as well - they sing back-up on "you haven't done nuthin'" - i suspect stevie may be prompting y'all through the ether - more dreamscape-style creepin'!!
Haha Stevie is definitely prompting us. Thanks for watching!
I think that might have been Deniece Williams ("Free")singing background vocals or Minnie Riperton ("Loving you"). They both were background singers for Stevie back in the day. That's what was so good about albums back in the day...you can read the credits & find out musicians, songwriters, background vocalists, etc. Also, Luther Vandross covered this song, and does a great job with it.
Thanks RD!
I've long thought that the song's bridge is the most beautiful part of the song.
It's a song I had forgot about but was in the back of my mind and couldnt find it for 20 years. Buts its a great one. Luther Van dross' version is awesome too. Never in Your Sun song by Stevie and a remake by a lady are awesome too
His voice is so sexy on this song!!!❤️❤️❤️
For real!
Beautiful song. Stevie had the best background singers on this album, Minnie Riperton on this song, others included Syreeta Wright and Deneice Williams.
Awesome reaction to a great song! Maybe a good time to react Minnie Ripperton? A lot of people think of her song “Loving You.” A few of my favorites “Reasons,” “Memory Lane,” “Inside my Love,” “Perfect Angel.” (I think Stevie wrote that one)
Thanks Will. Appreciate you!
"Inside My Love" is a masterpiece.. exotic, quixotic, & damn-near erotic. #RIPMinnieRiperton
Yes, Stevie wrote Loving You.
"Free" was by Deniece Williams
“Free” is by Deniece Williams, by the way.
Yes 😊 we found out
If you look closely at the cover art,there's an image of of the accident that Stevie had
Yes, by the way, Deneice Williams, Minnie Riperton, and Luther Vandross all did backgrounds on this album. Stevie knew how to spot talent or rather hear talent. Love it, you guys gotta do Hotter than July!!
Great cover done by Luther Vandross. Live version may by best.
Thanks Kathy!
Yes!!!!
As you talk about the artwork of the album, The cover artwork for “Fulfillingness’ First Finale” tells a story of the past, but also predicts what may lie ahead.
The cover design was done by a man named Robert Gleason, and the front depicts a staircase of keyboards going up into the sky. Stevie Wonder himself is standing on one of the steps, symbolizing the present day. Just like the album title says, Wonder has now reached a place of fulfillment, culminating with this album. But this is only a “first finale”, suggesting that it is by no means a final destination, and that many more finales are waiting up ahead. The African animals are a reminder of Wonder’s origin, and the Taurus is his zodiac. In 1973, while working on the album, Wonder sustained severe head injuries in an auto accident. This is depicted through a heavy log sticking out of the broken window of the red car. Right next to the “Little Stevie Wonder” there is a girl holding coloured balloons, and the four grammophones each represent an album (this was Stevie Wonder’s fourth Motown album with full artistic control).
Amazing! Thank you for the analysis Jason!
That is Minnie Riperton
MINNIE !!! on background & do check minnie ripertons "perfect angel" album produced by STEVIE & "come to my garden" produced by Charles Stepney !!! albums that won't disappoint !!
If you ever feel bad- Stevie Wonder does wonders! ;)
Ha! You can say that again!
@@SightAfterDark One of my favorites by Stevie is from Songs In The Key Of Life, Ngiculela / Es Una Historia / I Am Singing. At high volume, you can hear him really belt out the last chorus!
"Free" is by Denise Williams! 🤦🏾♂️ "Loving You" is Minnie Riperton's big hit!
Hope we’re not insulting anyone by making a mistake ♥️!
@@SightAfterDark NOT at all. Just wanted to make sure y'all knew.
I forgot about this song , thank you
Thanks for watching John!
I think Stevie might be a top five all time talent, and songs like this are why. He has a swack - maybe a swack and a half - of monster hits and then all sorts of other songs that fill up his albums but aren’t recognised nearly as much. And then all those songs he wrote that other people had huge hits with. Tears of a Clown - that’s him (and others, ok), just sayin.’
Top 5 for sure! Probably top 3.

It’s pronounced “Fulfillingnesses.”
Thanks!
Luther did a nice version of this as well but Stevie? Next level.
Why is there NO emotion at all in her face or body? Looks like she's waiting to see the dentist. Meanwhile the guy is totally involved and REACTING to the music, really getting into it.
That is the look of somebody in deep thought. Apologies if that’s unfamiliar to you 😉
@@SightAfterDark - Ha ha, I can see you know how to tread carefully.
Haha we try. Thanks for watching!
Watch out for an appearance from the Jackson 5 before too long…
haha thanks George!
"Free" was by Denice Williams.
Gotcha. Thanks David!
