Mr Margouleff, wow- I wasn’t expecting your name to pop up in the comments, a lovely surprise. I have mentioned about yourself and Cecil on numerous occasions with regards to Stevie and also Modular Synthesis. I spotted the Moog in the background, was that you placing Stevie’s hand in the correct spot on the mixer? This a brilliant recording of Stevie and WonderLove. Total and utter respect to you dear Sir. P E A C E : )
How does anyone write something as astonishing as this at the age of 23?!?! Phenomenal! His ability as a performer remains undimmed too. For me, he blew away everyone else in the concert for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations in 2012. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that Stevie is one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century.
Stevie is the most gifted individual in the past two centuries. He's the Martin Luther King of music, he's the Julius Erving of music, he's the King David of Song, he is the masterpiece of Picasso musically, and the artistic genious of Devinchi, the Einstein of sound, the Pavarotti of Opera, and brother of the Jesus Christ. As a young man, Stevie helped me to see, and to helped me know the love of Christ- through his mission, life and music. Thank you Stevie. thank you very much.
Well he's not God but he's good in only the arena of music but he needs to do more politically and socially to help his fellow man not himself and that comes with his advanced age and better self awareness..he should run for office he should fight for the poor
it was nice hearing what Stevie had to say but the president of Motown just talk too much and did not know what he was talking about. he said that Stevie was young, gifted and talented but he doesn't know he was black. Lol If you were black in that time... you surely knew your were black even if you were blind, because everyone else would let you know. besides Stevie mention race often in his music and it was not easy for his family growing up in detroit as a black child.
They call it Stevie’s Classical Period from 1970 - 1980 ….he won Album of the year two years in a row (Grammy’s) and the only reason he didn’t win the 3rd year was because it took him 2 years to make his next album & that was Songs in the Key of Life ….Genius !!!!!
Words cannot begin to describe what i feel when i watching this, STEVIE WONDER was in his prime when this footage was shoot. ALL that he touched by that time turned into gold! I dare you to find anyone this talented, i even double dare all you rockers out there to come up with a name that can rival this TRUE musical genius.
Mats, metal is my favorite genre - always has been and probably always will be. But I couldn't agree with you more. Nobody can touch Stevie. The only artists who come even remotely close for me are Tori Amos and Gino Vannelli.
In the early 90’s I heard a recording on BBC Radio 1 that was made in 1968. Hendrix was recording a session, an 18 year old Stevie happened to be around and asked if he could join in on drums, Jimi gladly obliged. Would love to hear that again.
All 5 of those albums, because you have to include his first solo album in the mix, are really great. His classic album list. And you could take the non hits off those albums and make one great album that any musical artist would be proud to have. That is exactly how talented he is as an artist.
Back in the day the last hit of his I remember was If You Really Love me then I got a compilation album and Keep On Running From My Love was on it and it grabbed me next thing I know Talking Book was released and I was hooked. He was so different, new and exciting, no one else could come close to Stevie but Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway came very close. Since then I have bought everything he was associated with. Amazing.
You just don't know how important this video is. I am so glad you posted it. This is a master class i will use to teach how it is done. From the vocal shaking to the hee hee hee which everyone on the planet would swear Michael Jackson invented, not. You are watching the inventor of all things male vocals, singing and delivery. As well as playing while singing, producing his ass off coming up with stuff on the fly. Everyone who sang or played with him or copied his style became successful. The drummer Ollie Brown. Denice Wiliams, singer. Ray Parker Jr on guitar. As Stevie mentioned writing; he encourraged everyone to write because he knew that was how you got paid. Look at Michael Jackson who also learned from Stevie. Look at Prince who has done his share of Stevie mancing, the song Vickie Waiting from the Batman soundtrack. From the singing to the production, that was Stevie love all day.
@@starlady_media I attend school with those two @ Detroit Northwestern H.S.. Ray lived a few blocks over from me, and I remember when he was introduced to music @ Angell Elementary.
WORD, your on point. This has nothing to do with that but in my humble opinion "I Just Called" was a commercial success and rightly so but the lyrics and wordplay to that song are genius but simple!!!
Hi FUNKINETIK, I forgot you wrote this a year ago . . Watching the video again, I did exactly the same thing again. My fave Stevie tune of a all time and the powerful words have never had a stronger feeling than they do this day. Keep strong ME, love will prevail. P E A C E : )
Very telling that the record executive didn't know what to do with the lyrics of "Visions"....sad and telling.....But he was ready to jam on "Superstition", tho'.....#TragicallyPredictable
It is fascinating how in an age when so many artists have cleared out, or at least cleared out some of their desks of unreleased material, Stevie Wonder has yet, unless someone knows otherwise, to do this especially from the period in the Seventies when we were told that 'there was a lot more good stuff in the can'. Where's that can and why has it not been opened all this time?
Stevie Wonder is truly a gifted Genius. His music not only promoted critical thinking but also it inspires us that we can overcome obstacles and live our dreams. ✨️ Stevie Wonder has given us the inner vision of what America can truly be. 🇺🇸 Through his music he given us to believe in our faith that we can move forward in making a better world for us all. We love you Mr. Stevie Wonder, thank you for the gift of music you shared and given us. 🎶 🎵
Look I'll tell anybody I'm glad to be black. Steve makes me so proud to be who iam and I embrace that . Class talented beyond and Gods love is all over him
There was a short lived NBC show (13 episodes) called "Flipside" which brought cameras in the studio for interviews and performance footage. It didn't last long because studio execs wanted Sinatra and Streisand in the studio. The creator of the show was Bill Aucoin, who would go on to manage KISS around this time. "On The Flipside" was just Stevie doing it on the fly for the show.
Hold on. So this is a Stevie Wonder video... on a yt channel dedicated to XTC... and Dylan Brady left a comment? Marvel ain't got shit on this crossover 😆
TALKING BOOK.......is the most UNDERRATED LP/CD that Stevie ever made PLUS, the best GUITAR WORK on any of Stevies LP's.... I believe Jeff Beck is on that.
Joe Maurello That’s correct! Jeff Beck was on “Looking For Another Pure Love” from Stevie’s 1972 album, TALKING BOOK. During the guitar solo, you could hear Stevie saying, “Do it, Jeff”.
@@eltatoyo9211 Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, I gorget things too : ). Yep they are all great. I was amazed scrolling down to see a comment from Robert Margouleff. Hope it’s genuine. Recently on TH-cam I watched a chat show Stevie did in around 1970, he’s wearing such a cool outfit (something that would be termed as ‘dope’ I suppose these days) anyway he mentions about a new album he has coming out, can’t remember what he said it might be called, but he’s referring to ‘Where I’m Coming From’ P E A C E : )
Brilliant! Mind blowing... Such a gift to this world and everyone in it. Grateful to have grown up in an error that I could be blessed by, changed and inspired by his musical creations.
He truly is an all around great man.... An example of God's love for sure! He inspired me to never give up hope, too! God Bless Stevland Hardaway Judkins Morris! May he life an incredibly long, healthy and very Blessed life!
Cool video, Love me some Stevie! It is so rare these days to see a band *Actually Play* with this kind of groove and passion. 90% of everything we see/hear is prerecorded.
This idiot, edwart motown Record exec was the real reason the Jackson 5 left motown. Berry was off trying to be the next Spielberg making movies. Stevie looks a bit annoyed at him always talking about himself. Hahaha. But you the man for uploading this gem. Right before that accident that left him inna coma. Hes been touched by God for sure
This was shot in Studio A at Media Sound. You can see a brief shot of me at the console. There was nothing lip synced , this is all live take one.

As a HUGE Motown fan, Ex- Radio announcer, d.j. at roller rinks, this is a true gem!!! 👍🌟👍
@@FUNKINETIK I wonder (wink wink) how bothered by the smoking he was. I was a smoker and am sorry for all my impositions.
Yes! This was a time when students, like myself though not as talented as this group , went to MUSIC CLASS and STUDIED MUSIC

Truth
Yes l truly truly. 👍
Agreed, I think he is actually incredibly underrated when you consider how much attention lesser artists like Bruce Springsteen or Beyonce receive.
Easy... a magnificent gift from God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit!❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👍👍👍
Possibly of all time.

This was done during what I call Stevie's 'Unstoppable' period--that man is a force!

"Jesus Children," my absolute favorite by Stevie!❤❤❤👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
I love the way the chorus is sung just ahead of the lead vocals.
What a rare and priceless film this is. Innervisions was probably his greatest ever album...better even than 'Songs in the key of Life'!

Sevin Wilson or Fulfillingness First Finale
Victor Bruins Please add Talking Book
trektanna ummmmm id they were BOTH iconic
What a killer version of Superstition! Love to have these jam sessions from that era on CD! 🤩

so sad he didn't release Fine Young Thing :(, I love it!! lol

Note how the record executive thinks the video is all about HIM instead of Stevie and starts telling us his life story.
Rex Mundi hahahahaha!
Lol I started skipping him lol
Such a slimy man. You could tell Stevie felt the dude's energy was off

Such a great song that Frank Sinatra did a version of it.
the bass is amazing
God bless him to be alive we need him musically i was too young born in 72 to know about the accident Thank you GOD for sparing his life.
He was in a coma and his friend Ira Tucker sat by his bedside saying the words to higher ground “I’m so damn glad he let me try it again...”
Fine Young Thing. Wow!
Stevie wonder for president 2024
such a raw, beautiful cut of 'all is fair in love' and so much more. this is gold, we are all blessed to see this. THANK YOU!!!

STEVIE WONDER RULES
God bless Stevie Wonder. One of the greatest soul artists ever. So talented.
wow, even him only saying the words to "visions" is powerful.. a very powerful song, and that gave me a new perspective on the song
I spoke the words along with him.

Maestro de maestros! Para mi, el mejor y más completo musico que ha conocido este mundo. Gracias Stevie por ponerle banda sonora a mi vida 🫶🏻
This video is the closest time I have ever actually seen Stevie’s eyes. Usually his glasses are too tinted.
I think he looks way better without those glasses!
Superstition - the brass section's backing is simple but it sounds menacing against the melody. Genius
"Stevie we really dig you"
As per Marvin Gaye

does anyone know the name of the song played at 7:34?
Is it Arturo Sandoval on Trumpet?
+Jerome Luera Any one? Like you i can't tell.
+Jerome Luera Steve Madaio was on trumpet in this film. He played with Stevie quite a few times during the 1970's.
It is Steve Madaio, he played horn for a lot of different artists in those days.
いいねー

0:02 Music that Stevie plays sounds similar to superstition??
