    Time and again, I've marvelled about Superwoman. The possibility of such a beautiful song getting written by a human being during my lifetime ... Then here's Rachel giving my ears and mind some new chordal dimensions ... she's obviously singing this in her head cos I never heard a missed passage the whole time ... The feel for the piece is so total ... so devastatingly beautiful ... I'm stunned into pieces ...... wow ... just sighingly w o w.

    Truly superlative. If Stevie heard this, Rachel would have a record contract offered to her tomorrow. That smile at the end is priceless!

    My favorite Stevie song. As he sings...this arrangement is done "VERY WELL"

    Rachel must have one hell of a memory to be able to learn so many songs from hearing them with no music to read. Truly a great talent!

    This is why You Tube needs to add a "love" selection..."like" just doesn't capture how beautiful this is. It is my hope that Stevie will somehow hear this and then invite Rachel to join him for a rendition. What a wonderful duet that would be....this is much appreciated. Time to watch again!

  • @gdemm01

    I have been listening to Stevie Wonder for over 40 years and this is truly a beautiful rendition of Superwoman. Every note is a struggle and played from the heart.

    Hi, Jeanie, it's Matthew Saracho again. Pardon me for commenting so much on these videos, but, I'll be very honest with you.
    I've had plenty of friends, and a few girlfriends who simply didn't want to get out of my life for whatever the reasons. But Rachel, in case you don't know, has really caught my attention and changed every bit of my life these past few days. Today, out of all the friends I have, I now rank her No. 1 because of both our talents and abilities people have seen separately.

    As someone who writes original music and is deeply inspired by stevie wonder and by this song in particular, I think I found another musician that inspires me too. Rachel this was absolutely incredible. I hummed the song in my head the whole time and you were perfectly with every note every beat and the fact that you played this off memory is even more amazing. Keep inspiring me and others, your work is unbelievable!

  • @arnolddurant8180
    @arnolddurant8180 12 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You captured one of my favorite songs with such dexterity and style. I can sit back and taste every nuance you incorperated in it like it's a recipe or a dish only a musical chef like you can create. Wonderful. And the portion of what Rachel began at 6:23 slowly became what we call in the church 'shout material'. Truly a virtuoso rendition of a song that still reverberates melodically today.

    @Tigerblade2002 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So, hear I am sitting in front of a midi keyboard trying to teach myself how to play piano because of this rendition of one of my favorite songs by Stevie Wonder. I'm autistic, so I'd drive any instructor to madness, but I intend to give it my most gallant effort. I am a musician by training, I could not continue because of what I know now was the stress caused when performing with a group of people while trying to act 'normal'. Beautiful work, Madame. I'll be looking into more of your work also. You have a new fan.

    beautiful babie. as you were playing i listened for every nuance that is in the original and you nailed evey single rest and every single note and not to mention the little inflection that stevie had whe he sung it. The transition from the first part of the song to the second was...no words. i'm inspired. GOD BLESS YOU. You did the song justice which is the least I can say right now.

    I've been totally amazed at watching and listening to many of your newer videos. So I decided to back to your first ones. I am still astounded at your musical abilities. But maybe even as amazing, is how effortlessly you play. For example, when I or other people play a difficult passage on piano, our faces usually get very serious looking. But not you. You actually grow an even bigger smile, and just seem to get lost in all the complexity. Hmm, maybe "lost"is not the right word, since you are in a world of music I can barely relate to. You seem to know exactly where you are going in your playing. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!

    Dear Rachel, only discovered this from listening to the original tonight and cannot thank you enough for being simply pure magical in this rendition. I so agree with much of what has been said here but like to add 'I did not think anyone could add a new dimension to Stevie Wonder's songs, but you have. I have just listened to 10 minutes of pure classic with your interpretation and playing style of one of my personal favourite Stevie's song. Thank you, Thank you.
