I only saw this once when it originally aired when I was 9 years old but I remember this song all this time. I decided last week to see if it was posted and here it is. There was a reason why I remembered it for so long. Thanks for the post.
I can't stop thinking about this tune. Its been with me for weeks. Its really got a hold of me. Anyone else? "Furry monster you and me on...Sesame Streeeeet"
Man old school music is the best . . . I wish I could have been around to see this on TV, I think the talkbox might have scared little kids when it gets low like that, haha
What an incredible song and performance! I loved it when I was in the second grade, and still do today. His use of the Heil Talk Box is the coolest. DYK he wrote another, slightly more famous song featuring the Talk Box for Chaka Khan called "Tell Me Something Good"...

For those that want to know that is Nathan Watts on Bass. He is STILL Stevie's bass player to this day...
I used to watch Sesame Street just to see Stevie Wonder play! LOL! It was SO awesome to find this!!!
This song gave me soul as a toddler...and I haven't looked back since.

Agreed. Roger himself said that he was inspired by a version of Stevie's "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" on TALKBOX (not vocoder - common misconception)

Stevie was definitely jamming on that Vocorder device. Long before Roger Troutman and Zapp came along!!!
Scott Edwards Jr. is the bassist.
the lead guitar player is ray parker jr. the light skinned kat with the afro & hat on.
the guy who sang ghostbusters. wow good shit man.
懐かしいね！中学時代に録音して何度も聴いたっけ！
I was an infant when this was aired.
I loved me some Stevie.
This is amazing, Stevie Wonder and his band are musical geniuses!!! Happy 40th birthday to Sesame Street too!!
I have always wanted to know who the bass player was here- I mean the guy is doing phenomenal runs all over the place on that thing!
he may be blind but he,s gifted in menny ways awsum performer
Probably the coolest performance ever.
HAPPY 60TH BDAY STEVIE
@MrJohnnyg1962 This song especially!
That bass line kicks.
wow i want this song
Man, what a groove.
who is the bassist for Stevie? He rocks!!
stevie blows my mind.
This is better than the actual Sesame Street theme, and I like that too, but Stevie steps it up here with his band
back when music DIDN"T suck
ray parker jr--on guitar wow!!! funkyyyy
Why can't kids TV be like this now?!!
Is one of the back up singers Minnie Ripperton?
I wonder if T-Pain ever seen this video?
Ripperton was a back up a year later and went solo a short time later
1 2 3 sesame street 321 sesame street lots of fun on sesame street

I like the part where he said 123 Sesame Street. :)
they don't make music (or Children's TV programs) like this anymore...
Big Chune!! :)
....My favorite....this shit is JAMMIn'....Will the real bass player please stand up ?.....Anthony Jackson ? looks a lil like him but .....
I cannot download this song because of its strange, weird-sounding talk-box machine messing up the real human voice.
