this song was played at my dads funeral it was his favorite song when he passed I was only nine years old and I always told myself that I couldn't listen to it because it always made me cry every time as I'm coming to tears right now my father has been gone since January 17th 1982 and I still cry from this song and I'm 45 years old rest in peace dad love you always
Sorry for your loss. This song is has that special effect and it was out brand new when your dad passed but you could see how someone could just get wrapped up in a song like this. God bless you and your family. Listen to this song. Embrace the sadness and take solace in the joy it brought your father. I lost my sister 2 years ago to cancer and you just confirmed what I knew in my heart. It’s hole that can’t be filled. God bless, I’m sorry you lost him so young.
Who else feels the hairs on their neck stand up when he first starts playing the harmonica? This song is one of those that I will play for the rest of my life without ever tiring of it.
Record Exec. "Hey, Stevie, how about writing a new song to finish off your Original Musiquarium album?" "Sure, hang on.. give me a sec.. OK, here you are, electro-beat, orchestra, saxes, soul backing, me and my harmonica.. the kitchen sink..." Instant classic.
The best compliment I heard concerning Stevie was on Star trek TNG, when the man of the future was mentioning the great composers, Beethoven, Bach, Wonder. That was a great compliment.
This live version is even better than the studio version I cant believe it. Lol that ending with the band was everything. When he hit that harmonica it set my soul on fire 🔥 🔥🔥
The way he drops the harmonica and immediately goes back to stroking the keys singing so beautifully like damn Stevie you ain't really have to flex on us like that. Go head tho.
I’ve played this video over and over multiple times and never get tired of it. This live version actually sounds better than the original in my opinion. The acoustics of the stage were set up PERFECTLY. No vocal blasts on the mics, no eco from the percussion. And the instruments from the other musicians aren’t drowning out his voice. I would play this ANY day over today’s crappy music standards.
I'm not very musical but i find Stevie Wonder inspirational. His passion and intensity for his art is just so admirable. He doesn't let anything inhibit his love for music. This song is quickly becoming my favorite song ever!
I’ve watched this several times everyday, Stevie is an incredible artist, love this guy. To the 59 people that disliked this, YOU DON’T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this song does not make you guys RUN to the "one" I don't know what will. I hear this song and I am elated and tearful at the same time. Thank you Izugarria and for the like minded community on this thread - I know I'm preaching to the choir- be well and love!
We all can name at least 10 songs from the genius. His vocal is so recognizable from way back to finger tips. When first discovered he told Smokey that he could sing better than Smokey.. He said, was a smart aleck kid. But Barry and Smoke knew exactly what a genius at hand they had. This song you can play over and over and you will some different interpretation each time. We talk about the King of Pop, Lionel, Temptations, Supremes all roll into one with a Little of Levi Stubbs in there. I remember this song and I was playing on cassette and bought the 45? There will never be another Michael, David, Levi..But for sure there will never be another Stevie. I'm 66 and I ve been listening to Little Stevie all the way up to be Stevie. Master musician with RHYTHMS LOCKED INSIDE HIS HEAD.LETS ENJOY EVERY PIECE OF HIS MUSIC. in closing I introduced my youngest daughter to Stevie at an early age and now she knows all the lyrics to every song ..
this dude is so talented.love his music,especially this song.i remember listening to my neighbhor radio when I played outside.SW be blasting from her box.i would stop inhale this song.i guess thats why i love his music so much.this was back in 1981 and i was about 8 y/o,walking around with some curl activator and fist pick....
It's absolutely stunning. im speechless. I've met him a few times. What an amazing Spirit. 👏singing after the homonica playing. Incredible breathing techniques. God bless you upppp
I wish the quality of this video was up to the quality of the tune; This is just one of many tracks Mr. Wonder has laid down over the years. He's great, and we will be sad when he leaves Earth. I truly believe that.
I saw a G. I've seen it all. Dope describes my rhymes, making all you emcees cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin. King Scott/King MCSC

Before my dad passed in 2010 Stevie Wonder was his all time favorite.
Fellow musicians. Watch and listen. He is the all-time greatest musician song writer ever.
Richard Luis prince is a close second
Yes sir
FACTS 💯💯
Truth.
Yes. Stevie is one of my greatest inspirations. If I could only be one tenth as good, I'd be happy!
Stevie Wonder is a genius.
He had the #1 record in the country at age 12!
Yes he is
Only the great Stevie Wonder able to make a live performance of this song even better than the recorded one. Awesome!
Right on!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I must say that, even today,this song is so hypnotic to listen to. Too bad the music isn't this good these days.
Who else feels the hairs on their neck stand up when he first starts playing the harmonica? This song is one of those that I will play for the rest of my life without ever tiring of it.
This is my all time favorite song. I never get tired of hearing it.
Logical person you are
Me too. My fav Stevie song
What song u dont get tried of hearing tell me what song u get tried of hearing from Stevie?
The coolest song Stevie ever wrote. My absolute Stevie favorite. Gives me chills every time
You cannot deny that he IS the king of all music ... So talented with so many instruments and as gifted lyrically...most of all .. Longevity doing so
Carlos G One of my all time favorite artist. yes sir

Yeah I watched that episode not too long ago. They would have had to add Michael Jackson and Prince's names too.

STEVIE! No one else on the planet in this category!
What about Michael Jackson?
Don Vito Corleone MJ in a completely different category.
The way he drops the harmonica and immediately goes back to stroking the keys singing so beautifully like damn Stevie you ain't really have to flex on us like that. Go head tho.
Amazing transition, I lose my breath just watching.
I know right that he's a beast for that.
Mere words can not describe the greatness of this song, let alone Stevie.
Stevie sounds just as great live as he does on recording. Musical genius and his harmonica playing is outstanding!
Stevie may be blind, but his music will still shine on for many generations to come.

Remember this on the radio in high school in 1982. Harmonica solo like the original. Stevie one of the greats
Me too. I was a little 16 year old grooving to this gem.
No one cares
Wrong
STEVIE IS THE BEST
FORGET THE REST
❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰
UGH !! ...this song is SOO good it leaves me speechless
Facts!! It’s a masterpiece
One of his very best songs - and when you say "one of his very best songs" about Stevie, that's saying something! Brilliant.
I’ve watched this several times everyday, Stevie is an incredible artist, love this guy. To the 59 people that disliked this, YOU DON’T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael and Stevie. Those are the GOATS.
Just the most awesome person on this planet..... Stevie !!!!!!
This man is my FAVORITE SINGER of ALL TIMES ! El Debarge & Michael Jackson r runners up.
Kmak Milly word ! And they're 5 laps behind
