Cavett isn't an ahole, he's just always looking to get a laugh, that's his job. Letterman does the same thing. Stevie is also being humorous in his own way.
The only thing is that what Cavett's doing isn't funny. Stevie looks as though he didn't want to flounder in the interview and did his best to maintain some control of it. Cavett didn't do a good job of holding the reigns steady.
For real. Cavett's my favorite host of all time, but Stevie Wonder humor is on a different level than Dick Cavett humor. Stevie can smile and make you laugh. Always clowning.
Bruhh back then! Dark humor was normal (although theres no dark humor mentioned in this video)! My point is, people back then weren’t as sensitive as most are now! My father always told me this generation is filled with weak/ soft hearted people! Which of course is not necessarily bad! But trust me, theres no rudeness in this video.
@Giorgi Papuashvilifun fact, it's already a vintage style even when this video take place. Wayy older than you think it's from 17th century british monarch. As long as you're not under 5ft6 it's fine
agreed, it was a good interview, not crappy at all. And I'd say that Cavett was a lot better than letterman and o-brien. His interviews, even the shorter ones, got so much more in depth and had so much more realness to them than more recent television talk shows would even allow.
Not really lol. Stevie is a little awkward. He had much better chemistry with Ray Charles, the other blind and black musician, who's actually funny. Don't get me wrong I think Stevie is a great artist, just not a great comedian judging from this clip. That being said, that interviewer could've handled it a lot better, it's his job to make the conversation not feel awkward.
LVSkinny Actually Stevie Wonder did co-write a lot of his lyrics, but he always give any other songwriters credit . Motown always made him team up with other people, they didn’t trust him to write complete songs by himself .
This was before his classic period though. From music of my mind on he wrote or cowrote (his then wife syreeta wright would help him with lyrics on some songs) every lyric on every album as well as the create the music composition and arrangement (as well as play a majority of the instruments on the albums). He was still developing into the genius he became.
He also continued to work with Paul Riser even into 1980, having him arrange some on 'Hotter Than July'. So those relationships were good and lasting! He and Paul KILLED it together when he was only 17/18 on the For Once in My Life album. Stevie's harmonies coming to fruition but still in the Motown umbrella... truly unique and beautiful time for Stevie!
He compose "create melody" which is the most important part....but when it comes to lyrics he can't see so he can't write the lyrics I'm guessing he got ideas of what to write down and have ppl write it down and help with the words
this interview is before his whole classic period (of which he composed/recorded alone), music of my mind, talking book, innervisions, fulfillingness, songs in the key of life... all of his greatest work. rare to see an interview before something like that
Yep I was thinking that the album he mentioned that’s about to be released is ‘Where I’m Coming From’ Oops .. sorry but you can’t say he ‘recorded alone’ . . two guys who played a massive role during that period were Malcom Cecil and Robert Margouleff with TONTO. And what about Jeff Beck too. . there’s lots. I just noticed you included SITKOL . . so many more musicians and writers with that album. Dick Cavett trying to be funny and smart but Stevie at only 20 years old totally outshone him. P E A C E : )
This was before the albums where he had full creative control and was writing his own lyrics. This was two years before Music of My Mind and Talking Book.
Wow! At 20 years old Stevie didn't consider himself a lyricist. Yet he goes on to write such poetic gems such as 'Visions' As' 'If its magic' 'Pastime Paradise' - that gives hope to all of us!
I'm sorry I took life for granted when I was young. Not only did we have real music from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Earth Wind and Fire, etc. but we also had civil discourse. I was a kid who loved to watch Cavett, David Suskind, Black Perspective on the News (Tony Brown), Firing Line (William F. Buckley), and Phil Donahue, among others. Now we've got the crappy faux news (FOX) along with MSNBC and CNN. There's no honest discourse and no unbiased news sources.
So true. If one was fortunate to come up on Donahue and Tony Brown and the music of Stevie and Earth Wind and Fire, then today's entertainment, rather anti-tainment, IS going to come up short and disappoint. But, the good news is that sooner than later that quality of the '60s-late 1980s WILL return. Truly. This is after all LIFE, and life is nothing but a DIVINE MOVIE playing in REAL TIME. The present phase of the movie, called END-TIMES, is almost over. Whew! Shalom.
Only having been born in the late 70s I was too young to understand stuff. But I wish I could relive my life, the last 30 years. Redo it all over again. I missed a grand chance to see Ray Charles live in 1995. Saw the ads for him coming to town and didn't attend. I wish I could redo it all. I was way too young, but I kind of missed the boat and now it is too late.
It's a great interview. Stevie is totally relaxed and enjoying himself. Richard is playing the straight guy to Stevie's cool and it works a treat. A tribute to both.
This was a great interview. I appreciate how Stevie speaks his mind and isn't hung up on being perfect (though he is). And I like the way things don't seem scripted. Just two guys talking. It's ok.
Agreed! They are just playing with each other and appreciating each other. I don't think either one of them wanted to do a copy of all the promotional interviews Stevie Wonder has to do ad nauseum. Wonder probably enjoyed it as much as Cavett seemed to be.
@@werightnow will you fuck off and get a life? You are everywhere. Seriously get a job, get a proper life and you won't be sad anymore. I fell sorry for you buddy
im no interview connoisseur but i didnt find anything crappy about this, stevie was his enigmatic "out their" at times self, and the interviewer handled it well, very funny at times....
I always liked Dick Cavett. This was just his style. I wish more talkshow hosts did things the way he did. It was always fun to watch and he created witty banter with his guests. Real class.
I do not think this is a "crappy interview", it seems as if they were both having fun. I have been a Stevie Wonder fan, forever. Dick Cavett, to me, was a great host, he kept things light and talked about things from a different angle then most host did during this time. The interview made me smile, which is good enough for me. Peace, Teri
Dick Cavett haters are ignorant. He was the first Charlie Rose. Stars liked him. He put them at ease, therefor they opened up to them. I am truly thankful to have the Cavett stuff on RUclips. Thanks for posting this even thought your title is lousy.
"Stevland Morris, get it together now" Stevie straighten that man out on his own show 😂 I must say tho, he's always been such a kind, gentle spirited man. He's 72 yrs young n still going strong. Many Blessings to him Always
And Stevie's best work was still yet to come. Songs like "Superstition", "Higher Ground", and "I Wish" didn't come out until a few years after this interview.
All these years later I just wanted to note that I always liked the tongue in cheek nature of most of your video's titles, Cavettbiter. This one in particular and also "Woody allen discusses particle physics" are a couple favorites that come to mind. also gotta love the hidden gem of a hit, #1 jam: "You never never never know" @ 2:59
Dick Cavett was never seen on UK TV screens, so we missed out on great interviews like these. It would have been great to have seen Stevie Wonder chatting like this as, although all of his songs were heard on the radio and TV, we never got the chance to see him chat informally in the way US audiences did. In later years, UK Beatles fans also missed out on the interviews John Lennon gave but, thanks to RUclips, many of them have been posted. Brilliant to see my childhood heroes again, but from a different perspective and, in this case, Stevie Wonder, he looks completely at home, and I suspect Dick Cavett took the time to make him feel at ease before the cameras rolled. A really enjoyable clip. Thanks! , which featured so which is why RUclips has
Thats my boy. I love Stevie. And i just love to hear him on 8-track tapes,which i have in my collection of tapes. one love,one respect to this living legend.
Every interviewer has his sluggish days. Anyone who says that Cavett sucks needs to see his other interviews. He really is a legend in the world of talk shows.
I always liked Cavett. I think that in general he usually came off as genuine in terms of respect, or interest / curiosity, but his style of humor didn't always mesh with everyone. Despite his first name, I never thought of him as one.
The title of this video is a troll job. This is regular, normal Dick Cavett. Perhaps he's an acquired taste now, but back in the day he had the least constrained interview format of any show in the world, including the Tonight Show. And Stevie doesn't just keep up with Cavett, he upends him and forces him to pursue different lines of questioning. Great clip, OP.
I wish I went to school In the 70's, Music wasn't crappy Rap back then, it was REAL music. And when Stevie wonder dies, I think I will be Eternally Depressed.
Dick Cavett is one of the pioneers of talk shows and a terribly shy man. I absolutely adore and respect him for how he handled his career with nothing but good sense about people and creativity for a foundation.
All you people accusing Cavett of being racist checkout the doco about Hendrix on his show. Plus, as for his being uncool, he used to tear strips of himself and never pretended to be anything near as hip as the artists he had on his show, he loved Janis, Jimi and all the guests he had on his show and never put them down for cheap entertainment.
Nooo haha Stevie is way to Humble lmao. Eddie Murphy at 20 had the confidence of a 40 year old man and so damn intelligent, Eddie perfected putting the one finger up to interrupt and then make an eloquent point. Where as stevie keeps "play" threatening him 😂
That album ended up being "Where I'm Coming From." I never knew about it back then, and then once I discovered it's existence, it was out of print! Found it online a few years ago, it's really good and I would include it in the classic era.
Dick Cavett was an asshole here with Stevie and to his credit as a gentleman Stevie was polite and humorous the whole way through! I have seen plenty of other interviews and he was great with his guests, like Hendrix. If you want to see Dick put in his place.. watch the Marlon Brando interview where he gets owned!
@RAM71 you mean from then on! Stevie Wonder's songwriting,singing & musicianship as well as his advocacy for civil & human rights was about to begin, & he has not looked back! Stevie Wonder is the greatest singer/songwriter,producer,arranger,multi-instrumentalist,humanitarian,civil & human rights advocate ever! Long live the official UN Messsenger of peace & Goodwill (STEVIE WONDER)
Why would he travel? What’s the point? Maybe to try the food? Needless to say he’s not blind. All part of the show. A blind man is interesting and sets him a part from those that can see. It’s show business.
I guess the new album he's talking about is "Where I'm Coming From". Is that right? I've not heard that one, but based on the great albums he was putting out at that time I'm sure it was good. And just think - the world still had not heard the miracles of "Innervisions" and "Songs in the Key of Life" and "Talking Book". That's amazing.
Was a sweet interview, Stevie held his own, such a cool, calm charisma. His style and sharp looks match his incredible musical gifts he is a true blessing from God. Much Love Stevie!! Great share thanks!!
2:15 looks like Mr. Wonder put his hand out for a shake and put it back when he saw the interviewer wasn’t shaking his hand back. I’m sure I’m delusional but still...
@bigsleep32 lol he's a tryhard. Nothing to do with age or generations. I have seen many interviewers older than Cavett who are not try hards. Besides what does age have to do with being a good interviewer.
I didn't find this crappy at all. It was very relaxed light talk and Dick Cavett has a class to him that was never offensive.
Me either
Cavett isn't an ahole, he's just always looking to get a laugh, that's his job. Letterman does the same thing. Stevie is also being humorous in his own way.

Good title because it made a lot of people click and find out for themselves.

Well he looks like Conan physically but I'm not sure about the style, Conan is much more of an actor
Why would they call this a crappie interview it was entertaining ..
BUNK
No one of them even comes close to Dick Cavett, not even Larry King.
This was a "great interview". Very funny! I thought Stevie and Cavett have good chemistry together.

@@Chair400 Nah not at all
Head The Ball, no you really can’t compare them. They’re all legends.
Sounded okay to me. Why was it crappy?
Cavett wants the last thing to say constantly. He asks dumb questions, too
It wasn't. People are just too negative and want perfection. Damn
@@vamosascape dude no

Why would he travel? What’s the point? Maybe to try the food? Needless to say he’s not blind. All part of the show. A blind man is interesting and sets him a part from those that can see. It’s show business.
Did you mean "nappy'?
I guess the new album he's talking about is "Where I'm Coming From". Is that right? I've not heard that one, but based on the great albums he was putting out at that time I'm sure it was good. And just think - the world still had not heard the miracles of "Innervisions" and "Songs in the Key of Life" and "Talking Book". That's amazing.
A long time to wait for a reply - yep I reckon you’re right. Hope you’ve heard the album since.
P E A C E : )
Was a sweet interview, Stevie held his own, such a cool, calm charisma. His style and sharp looks match his incredible musical gifts he is a true blessing from God. Much Love Stevie!! Great share thanks!!
Stevie Wonder looks so cool and deals well with Cavett's inaneness and disrespect.
2:15 looks like Mr. Wonder put his hand out for a shake and put it back when he saw the interviewer wasn’t shaking his hand back. I’m sure I’m delusional but still...
Kamau Bonaparte??? He’s blind
stevie is 1 of the 🌎 messenger. we thank God Our Father for him.
Wonder when Stevie developed the head bob thing? He doesn’t do it at all in this interview…very interesting
He started faking that when people had twigged that he could see
Didn't think this is a bad interview. Just think Dick is a little snobbish at times, or kind of indifferent. Not sure. Anyhow, Stevie rocks.
@bigsleep32 lol he's a tryhard. Nothing to do with age or generations. I have seen many interviewers older than Cavett who are not try hards. Besides what does age have to do with being a good interviewer.
I’m just now doing my research on Stevie and I can’t believe he didn’t perceive himself as a good writer
4:08 Stevie announces his album "Where I'm Coming From".
Cavett was never comfortable around Black people. That Hendrix interview especially.
He looks and sounds comfortable talking with
Stevie, here
