He may not have physical sight, but God laid His hands all over Stevie musically. Thank You, Father. How blessed WE are from the gifts you gave Stevie Wonder. 🎵 🎶 🎤❤
To never listen to Stevie Wonder is very sad. This man is an Cultural Icon. He has written some of the most beautiful songs ever. I'm glad you are discovering him now bro. This man has been doing this to us since he was 11 years old. This is a true musical genius. Genius is a over used term but not when it comes to Stevie the term applies.
There is a strange pleasure in watching someone react for the first time to Stevie. He has just been a part of my life since 1970. This is from the days when musicians played instruments and did not flex on chains and Mercedes and dis females. Refreshing to hear it, isn’t it?
"Well respected in the music industry" is the understatement of the century, bro. This man changed music forever. He was signed to Motown Records at ELEVEN YEARS OLD, and has sold over 100 million records and won twenty-something Grammys. Yeah, he's well respected. 😁 Great choice to start your Stevie journey. Keep going!
The entire album Songs in the Key of Life is amazing. You are about to crawl down a rabbit hole of 'Wonder' if you keep listening to Stevie's music. Great reaction. Chris
Stevie Wonder is a freaking musical genius, the man can play multiple instruments magnificently. You just experienced one of his best my friend, welcome to his greatness!
I am a country girl fm TN and I lv Stevie .. this is my favorite song of his !! He’s so amazing ..not just because he can play the piano so good but his vocals rock ! He’s a goat !! I loved watching u react to the different beats in this song !! I lv it !! So much fun to watch !!
Stevie has been great since he was a child. They used to call him Little Stevie Wonder. Go back and listen to Fingertips Part II. it was recorded live when Stevie was only 13. It's unbelievable how professional he was and still is. One of the true greats!!
Rebecca Rockchik Yes, I was just thinking about how I’ve not heard anyone for years talk or refer to music as funky music and this song is one of the best of . I’m out of the modern loop so don’t know what’s current but doubt there’s much to replace funky music.
OMG I love watching kids discovering this stuff. :-) This just makes my day. Stevie is ROYALTY, my dear! ROYALTY! It is impossible to sit still or walk normally while listening to this song!
He plays several Instruments , HE’S A GENIUS, IVE SEEN HIM MANY TIMES IN CONCERT. He’s a big reason we gave MLK Birthday as a National Holiday , it’s so much music he has done, I don’t even know where to begin
you have to find a video of him singing this song. Nobody moves like Stevie Wonder. He never saw anybody singing (of course, he is blind) so he is unique on his moves. And the smile he has while performing is.... Magic!!!
It's just TOO DAMN GOOD, right? Stevie is off the charts genius, pure funk straight into your soul, grips you and won't let go! Listen to ALL his music!! Loved your reaction, great video, keep it up!
Hey Twon! Stevie has a HUGE discography, but one of his ICONIC albums/cds you should definitely check out is "Songs In The Key Of Life". All I can say is get ready for the ride of your life. See, what you don't understand is Stevie does EVERYTHING on his albums. The arrangement of all instruments (every sound), note, voice, layering...the whole production. A lot of artist try to copy his arrangements, but realize his arrangements are next level. Enjoy! Peace...Be and Stay Safe!!!
Glad you loved this. You should have seen our reaction when this first dropped. Stevie's first hit was when he was 12 "Fingertips Pt 2". Stevie has a lot of hits man. Try "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing", "If You Really Loved Me", "Master Blaster", "Living For The City", "Boogie On Reggae Woman", the beautiful "Overjoyed" and "As", "I Wish", "Higher Ground", and the stunning "Ribbon In The Sky" for just a few of his songs. The only time I saw Stevie was (and don't hate me) when this first came out and he was on the same bill as the Rolling Stones here in NYC at MSG many long years ago. The days man.
I think the horns you hear are probably a trumpet; trombone; tenor sax and a baritone sax. The main riff is all 4 but there are also parts where it's just the two brass (trumpet and trombone) and other places where it's just the two woodwinds (the two saxophones). There is also one section near the very end that's a muted trumpet (a mute is a device that goes inside the bell of the trumpet or other horn that make different distinct muffled sounds depend on the mute).
I'm 64 years old, I listened to this shit when I was 17 years old, this shit was hot back then, and it is still hot. Stevie was magical. But nothin' gives me more of a kick than watching a 20 year old black man listening to this for the first time..... Such Joy. Take care and loved the music. But if you really wanna freak out then play "Play That Funky Music" by wild Cherry. Good Luck.
I ADORE Stevie, I had the pleasure of watching him live, and I thought it was impossible to love him more than I did, but I was wrong! LEGEND of a man, Stevie´s music touches deep in your heart, like an arrow! Great reaction, go and check more Stevie, lots of love from Portugal!
It's so great to see you getting into Stevie. He is absolutely brilliant! Everything that others recommend to you....actually ANY Stevie Wonder, is amazing. Try "Boogie On Reggae Woman" Twon....you'll love it!
What Up Twon, if you go back and listen to the Top 100 songs from every year 1970's, EVERY SONG IS GREAT, ALL 100, EACH YEAR, that's what we grew up with, and you had radio stations playing them 24/7, sorry y'all didn't have that, try what I say, starting with 1970, and you'll see for your self, love your reactions, you're very sharp.
Wow! Can't even imagine! Stevie Wonder was just always there when I grew up in the 60's and 70's! You have a treat ahead of you learning more about him and listening to his music!
His live performances of this are crazy cuz that man just goes NUTS on the keys! Like I remember when I was little, I have no idea what my grandma was watching (this was only like 15 years ago or so cuz I'm only 20 too!) but they were showing his Soul Train performance of this song when he was pretty young and I was amazed when I found out he was blind cuz the way he was jamming those funky keys blew my mind! As a 20 year old I'm so glad I grew up around this kind of music because my little old grandma had some TASTE! Also: recommend checking out his soul train performance of this if ur just interested in seeing it live, and then also his performance of "higher ground" from a tv show in 1974 (if u search it you will see it, there aren't too many other vids of it).
I've loved Stevie Wonder since the very first time I saw him (when he was billed as "Little Stevie Wonder"). And this is one of his very best. And I love the noises you make when you're really loving a song!
Just came across your channel. Love it! I'm a 52 year white grandma. I first heard Stevie in the 2nd grade. My first 45 (I'm old) was Stevie's Sir Duke. Made me a lifelong fan. Please listen to it.
I once bought a CD of Stevie’s greatest hits. One thing I really like to do is listen to the opening of each song one after the other and his instrumentals and arrangements on each one is incredible! He can do no wrong! Try listening to my Cherie amour, it’s very sweet
We all bow to the true genius of a one of a kind brilliant musician Stevie Wonder. You're blessed to discover him. What a ride you're about to have. Stay safe and thank you young man
Well respected in the music game? Oh man. Stevie is the high priest of all music. I mean he is right up there at the summit. Enjoy discovering Stevie Wonder. There will only ever be one of him.
One of my All time Favs. Can't go wrong with STEVEY!!🎶 and by the Time This Song came out , he was Already a Musical🎶 Veteran of at least 10 yrs. Or more!
Back when this came out, back in my day, music was generational not cultural or ethnic. In my teens we all grooved to different genres. It was a thrill to play latest song to friends . no wifi back then. Record players and 8 track and cassette. Only we had to get togetherer to listen. You guys missed it all. White boys had Fros And loved rock soul funk and jazz at once. Ask older people about 60s and 70s togetherness. It was a thing. Stevie Wonder was a great singer/musician. NO ONE SAID THEN HE WAS A GREAT BLACK MUSICIAN thats a new thing. I know more R&B Funk Soul Blues Jazz Ect. Then you will ever hear simply because i lived it. Believe it or not some of the coolest people on the planet are old white people. Lol
I LoVe Your Reactions. You have every style, all kinda years, you just got the music 🎶 beating in ya soul. I love All styles, rap ta rock, I don't care, if I feeln it its all 6's & 7's 😊💯👆🎶🎧🎶
so happy for you to experience his greatness :) "Songs in the Key of Life" is an album my parents always played when i was young (hope you can find some time for that journey as well) biggest hugs from Chicago !! :)
Congratulations! You've uncovered a musical genius. BTW everything you hear in this song is Stevie except the horns. Mostly on his clavinet but he also played drums.
Stevie Wonder songs to react to: Part Time Lover, These Three Words, All In Love Is Fair, Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer, That's What Christmas Means To Me, We Are The World by USA for Africa, and As!
He may not have physical sight, but God laid His hands all over Stevie musically. Thank You, Father. How blessed WE are from the gifts you gave Stevie Wonder. 🎵 🎶 🎤❤
The keys can NOT get any more FUNKY than this...this man is an Icon....music royalty
He's very superstitious 😎
I would agree but off that same album you need to listen to Maybe Your Baby and tell me if anything drips more funk than that
@@johnniewalker23 Have not heard that...so fair enough.
@@SIXX2772 check it out, it's one of the funkiest things I've ever heard!
@@johnniewalker23 lol....I will.
This can’t be the first time you’ve heard Stevie Wonder!! 😮 gotta hear Livin for the City! Man, he’s a legend!
To never listen to Stevie Wonder is very sad. This man is an Cultural Icon. He has written some of the most beautiful songs ever. I'm glad you are discovering him now bro. This man has been doing this to us since he was 11 years old. This is a true musical genius. Genius is a over used term but not when it comes to Stevie the term applies.
I worry about the parents lol, like who raised yall 😊😊

This is from the days when musicians played instruments and did not flex on chains and Mercedes and dis females. Refreshing to hear it, isn’t it?
We grew up with this as standard so seeing these young people react like that shows how blessed we were
Stevie changed music. Everyone has benefited from his melodies , rhythms, compositions, musicianship.
Born in 68' , I loved the70s music.
Stevie is a badass man. I grew up listening and loving him. He is a talent.
As if the song alone wasn't enough to get ya moving, watching you jamming to it for the first time made it impossible to hold still. Great reaction.
I was dancing lol
I agree. I have a huge grin on my face. Wexwere so blessed to grow up with his music. Keep on listening .
"Well respected in the music industry" is the understatement of the century, bro. This man changed music forever. He was signed to Motown Records at ELEVEN YEARS OLD, and has sold over 100 million records and won twenty-something Grammys. Yeah, he's well respected. 😁 Great choice to start your Stevie journey.

Grew up listening to Stevie. The hits are endless. Check out "Living For The City". Another fantastic song.
The GREATEST SONG!!! Yes!
The entire album Songs in the Key of Life is amazing. You are about to crawl down a rabbit hole of 'Wonder' if you keep listening to Stevie's music. Great reaction. Chris
Stevie Wonder is a freaking musical genius, the man can play multiple instruments magnificently. You just experienced one of his best my friend, welcome to his greatness!
He's a modern day Mozart. You absolutely need to listen to "I Wish" and "I Was Made to Love Her". I'm glad you're getting to hear this amazing talent!
He is, along with Prince an absolute genius
That "instrument" in the background is a full horn section! Only the best play with Stevie! ☺☻
Virtually every instrument except for the horns is also played by Stevie.
I am a country girl fm TN and I lv Stevie .. this is my favorite song of his !! He’s so amazing ..not just because he can play the piano so good but his vocals rock ! He’s a goat !! I loved watching u react to the different beats in this song !! I lv it !! So much fun to watch !!
Stevie... The Man...The Legend. The funk in this song, you can't help but want to jam to. This is a playlist gem of mine.
Musical genius.
Stevie has been great since he was a child. They used to call him Little Stevie Wonder. Go back and listen to Fingertips Part II. it was recorded live when Stevie was only 13. It's unbelievable how professional he was and still is. One of the true greats!!
Earth, Wind & Fire, Sly and the Family Stone are both great. Great reaction ❤️
The funky 70's!! ❤
Rebecca Rockchik Yes, I was just thinking about how I’ve not heard anyone for years talk or refer to music as funky music and this song is one of the best of . I’m out of the modern loop so don’t know what’s current but doubt there’s much to replace funky music.
You're right...no good replacements. Miss those days.
Rebecca Rockchik Yes, 👍🏻😉

Stevie played multiple lines of clavinet keyboard lines on this, played the drums and sang the incredible vocal.
OMG I love watching kids discovering this stuff. :-) This just makes my day. Stevie is ROYALTY, my dear! ROYALTY! It is impossible to sit still or walk normally while listening to this song!
Stevie Wonder is a genius; he took his disability and turned it into something positive; he's an extraordinary artist
Cool reaction video bro 👍
Stevie Wonder is a great singer and a talented artist. Superstition is an awesomely funky song, great choice.
Stevie had 5 monster albums in a row .
He plays several Instruments , HE’S A GENIUS, IVE SEEN HIM MANY TIMES IN CONCERT. He’s a big reason we gave MLK Birthday as a National Holiday , it’s so much music he has done, I don’t even know where to begin
you have to find a video of him singing this song. Nobody moves like Stevie Wonder. He never saw anybody singing (of course, he is blind) so he is unique on his moves. And the smile he has while performing is.... Magic!!!
A MASTER AT MUSIC ARRANGEMENT!! Should be names a NATIONAL TREASURE
It's just TOO DAMN GOOD, right? Stevie is off the charts genius, pure funk straight into your soul, grips you and won't let go! Listen to ALL his music!! Loved your reaction, great video, keep it up!

CHILLS my brother,
I swear kid, you make me make "stank face"! Love it!
This is so clever and smooth...and a lesson for life. Bam.

Yep, I'm envious, @Hel Gar. Must have been one helluva concert! Lucky you and great recommendations, too!
Check out ‘Master Blaster’ and ‘Living for the City’ from Stevie
I think the horns you hear are probably a trumpet; trombone; tenor sax and a baritone sax. The main riff is all 4 but there are also parts where it's just the two brass (trumpet and trombone) and other places where it's just the two woodwinds (the two saxophones). There is also one section near the very end that's a muted trumpet (a mute is a device that goes inside the bell of the trumpet or other horn that make different distinct muffled sounds depend on the mute).
If you like the horns you have got to listen and react to Chicago. The Band not the city.
I'm 64 years old, I listened to this shit when I was 17 years old, this shit was hot back then, and it is still hot. Stevie was magical.

My favorite song of Stevies living legend so amazing.Love him.

Love watching younger folks discovering Stevie. Grew up listening to Motown and I've always loved Stevie since he was known as "little Stevie".

No apology needed. You are not old enough to be exposed to all the great stuff ever written and performed. Enjoy the ride. There is a lot out there.
