Yeah dude I had to pause there and take it in. When I clicked the video I was thinking "oh, 1980, his classic period was long before, by then he was already a veteran" but he was only 30 ffs
stevie: i'm not really good at doing this on the spot. stevie then proceeds to make a whole song from scratch on the spot with amazing chord changes and beautiful melodies and poignant message
@@jensenstirling1109Hahahahahah. On every level? Lay off the weed dude. I love both of them, but cmon, Prince wrote his music all by himself, produced, even engineered from time to time, was a virtuoso on a couple of instruments like Stevie and had the pipes... MJ was a great singer & dancer, but he needed other people around him
Great to watch this studio session. 1980 was the first time I saw Stevie live at Wembley Arena, London. His ‘guitar’ playing here on the CS80 is amazing, like it when he says ‘come on Ben (Bridges) let’s have a battle, here we go yeah’ Love you Mr Wonder. P E A C E : )
Wait what IS he doing? What's the second hand there that's somehow controlling the guitar intonation? (And, um, where can I get something like that today?)
@@aravartanian7578 Most keyboards today have a note bend wheel (or lever) to the left of the keys. Many also have a modulation wheel right beside it, that you can assign various functions to.
Sure the song he's doing is AWESOME. However, notice the Sistah who is one of the background singers. At 3:24, she returns with a cup in her hand, places it on the counter and then busts a move, that's...,well, as I heard a friend say about a woman who just "looks like she can bring it", (If you know what I mean.). Nice! Very nice, indeed!
I'd rather say that the Mozart of 20th century popular music has been Michael Jackson. I feel that Stevie has more similarities with Bach in that regard.
With the disability of being sightless, here is an extremely articulate guy who knows exactly what is happening, has the musical genius to interpret the state of the world, makes fantastic hits (I really like his ballads like Stay Gold and Overjoyed) and understands humanity. Steve is up there with The Beatles, Marvin Gaye Bob Dylan and all the other socially conscious artists of the world. Rock on, Mr. Wonder!
Notice what keyboard he’s playing? The Yamaha CS-80, cutting edge for its time and now used they’re about $135,000 if you can find one. Thanks for posting.
This Brother is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Words cannot express how much and for how long I have been a SW fan. The brief song he improvised at the end of this clip...DAMN! Lastly, just for the record, I would like submit my vote for the all time SW greatest album of all and perhaps project of all, Songs In The Key of Life. (Best song on the Album: Another Star.).
Wow I love Stevie wonder he always been my childhood idol I really admire him and appreciate all of his music and im very inspired by how he crafted his music wrote songs over the years I'm a very big fan of Stevie wonder he's very amazing singer and song writer and always will be he's a legend in his time

I keep wondering y a proper movie hasn’t been made about him. Then I’m thinking maybe cos his story probably won’t have the key hollywood ingredients, namely irresponsible sex, drug addiction and senseless violence. 🙂
“At the age of 30...”
Do you realize how much timeless, amazing music this man had made by this point? Unreal.
Yeah dude I had to pause there and take it in. When I clicked the video I was thinking "oh, 1980, his classic period was long before, by then he was already a veteran" but he was only 30 ffs
Yep. I think he made Music of My Mind at 21 and already had been a bunch of albums in.
he was 15 when he wrote his first number one hit, It was written for a band he wasnt even in
Ok so he just improvised a song so many of us would dream to write. What a human and we are so lucky to be on the same timeline.
Indeed Queen🙏🏿
he is the greatest that has ever done it. ever. hands down.
The Longevity of the Most AMAZING Original talent of ALL TIMES!!
I'm a 58 year old man, Stevie just made me cry over a 30 second medley. AMAZING
“Just because a man lacks the ability to see does not mean he lacks vision!” Stevie
Bom dia Aretha Brown QUE NOME BONITO MEU NOME É ALESSANDRO DE SOUZA oi
but he CAN see. he is legally blind.
I saw him on this tour. Sublime. I was 15. Went alone. Felt embraced.
Attended a show during this tour at the age of 11. Still at the top of my list. Gil-Scott Heron and Brian Jackson opened for him.
gil-scott heron replaced bob marley on this tour. marley was ill with cancer. which eventually took his life.
@@jparks1937 WOW. Never knew that!
stevie: i'm not really good at doing this on the spot. stevie then proceeds to make a whole song from scratch on the spot with amazing chord changes and beautiful melodies and poignant message

lmfaoo on god
Probably a older demo from the 70s not trying to knock the creativity
He literally represents God.
@@kingzaiah3868 It's a kick ass tune from an actual album
Fascinating!!! Stevie is EASILY one of the most gifted musicians and songwriters in history!!
Stevie & Prince r the 2 BEST things that's EVER happened 2 music! 🎶 Thank u Mr. Wonder!😉
Prince? Michael Jackson easily topped him on every level and we have all seen prince fall off stage in 1983 with James brown 😂🤦♂️

@@Yourbankaccount facts!!!!!!
Stevie is simply the best singer, song writer there is and will ever be. God has blessed us to witness such genius!!!!
he was really just having fun man. what a legend.
How can a human make such otherworldly music? His soul and musicianship is joy and love.
I think he's the artist of the 20th century hands down !

Only Stevie could drop a beautiful song with pretty chords right on the spot...AMAZING 👏
Because he breaths music
My all-time idol, the one true GOAT and most inspirational artist...
Exquisite music from and otherworldly talented man. Sophisticated chords and arrangements made accessible to reach millions. Truly a special artist

Stevie is such a great human being. I love him and his music so much. He’s everything I wish I could be.
Stevie Wonder is The God Of All Music !

the soloing he's doing on keys from 3:14 to 4:10 is unbelievable

Thank God for Stevie

The Mozart of popular music, has always been Wonder.
I'd rather say that the Mozart of 20th century popular music has been Michael Jackson. I feel that Stevie has more similarities with Bach in that regard.
This is a master at work
Just made something beautiful on the spot. Thats God
no, that is music. not science not religion
@@morbidmanmusicread their comment again. God is, before and after religion
What a beautiful human
Stevie Wonder IS music!
Classic material a gem 💎 for all his real fans🎧🎤🎹🥁📀💿🐐🏆
4:47 " i do believe you must first of all like yourself before you can begin to like and before you can begin to love others..."
Stevie Wonder is Pure Genius! Do you agree?
Agree 100%
absolutely yes without a doubt

This is GREAT! Thanks for posting. Always liked seein the creative process of Stevie’s work.
Total genius!!!
🙏🏾 thank you☺️
Somehow, I feel that Stevie can even sense the girls dancing behind him. Amazing human.
They sense each other through music.
..and rythm
Well, of course, he knew they were there and what they were doing. It wasn’t just random
@@pattyayers I meant their vibes.
Brilliance.
Thank you 🎶🎵🌐
Awesome!
If you could find In The Land of The Free (1989) I'd be heaven blessed.
Genius
this is just ridiculous in every way. a truly enlightened spirit. a part of all of us lives in stevie
Saw Stevie on this tour, in New Haven. We made it happen: a national holiday for MLK.
Just fell in love with the choir girls.
God on earth....
❤❤
so crazy..
Nice CS80!
:-)

I know the one all the way to the left is Shirley Brewer. Not entirely sure about the other 3...
Which are the songs that we listen to during the comment?
what is the song he does at 3:14 ?
I think it's part of the improvisation on "Did I hear you say you love me"

What synth keyboard is that?!
Correct me if I’m wrong but that looks like a Yamaha CS60! An absolute BEAST of a synth with a felt strip used for pitch bends/modulation 🤤
And then people want me to believe cardi b is talented
A great video ruined by the text across the screen
I keep wondering y a proper movie hasn’t been made about him. Then I’m thinking maybe cos his story probably won’t have the key hollywood ingredients, namely irresponsible sex, drug addiction and senseless violence. 🙂
Using the CS-80 to sound like a cheap guitar...lol. That improv tho...WOW!
