-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band

Such an incredibly life affirming song. The great James Jamerson played a completely improvised bass line, without a single bar repeated throughout the song.
Honestly if this track had just been bass and vocal it would work. Jamerson is the Roy Hobbs of bass.
I knew that sounded like Jamerson. Thanks for the confirmation.
JJ rules!
Jamerson, the GOAT.
Earl Van Dyke killing the piano.
Andy, sending love and positive vibes to your mom and stepdad .. . and to you, as well. Cancer is just a heartless bastard. I'm glad this perfect song from Stevie Wonder touched your heart!
Love the compassionate pat on the back from Mikey.
Stevie was born on May 13, 1950, so it’s really easy to calculate how old he was when his songs were released. He was only 17 when he recorded this and 18 when it was released! He was 20 when he wrote and produced “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” and 22 when “Superstition” was released. The man is truly a Wonder!
Wow.
Can't hear Stevie without thinking of Paul Simon winning album of the year back in the 70's -- and thanking Stevie for not producing an album that year....
Bestest wishes to Andy’s stepdad ❤
Stevie makes any day better.
I say it every time. Stevie Wonder is the greatest male solo artist of the second half of the 20th century. His impact is immeasurable.
Amen to that!
His talent and range are limitless! Charisma, style, fashion all A+++ for more than half a century. All that and he's genuinely the nicest down to earth human! He reminds me of Muhamad Ali in that aspect. Never ever too big for the smallest act of kindness. Need more Stevies in our world!
💯💯💯💯💯
You're absolutely right!!! The man is a genius !!!
He is maybe the G.O.A.T.
Andy, thanks so much for sharing that story about your mom & step-dad. Cancer is a bitch dude and I'm so glad that you can be there with them. I hope it goes without saying that we're all pulling for your family. If there's anything you need, just reach out, brother. If we can provide, it's yours. God bless!
There's something about this tune that feels like it couldn't possibly be from way back in 1968. Eternal and timeless.
I agree. I never realized it was from that far back in his catalog.
...while also a great representation of that era.
How many of us have sung this at the top of our lungs in the car when we're in love? Hell, even when we're not in love but want to be? Lots of love to you and your family, Andy.
Can't go wrong with Stevie! Prayers for your family Andy.
Isn't She Lovely is an amazing song about the birth of his child....remember that he's blind when you hear this, it's at a different level
This song is timeless. Check out, I was made to love her, 1967 . He was 17 years old! A born genius!
That was played at our wedding reception. ❤
Another early Stevie tune worth catching "I was made to love her"
If you're not chair dancing, you're not human.
I actually got up and danced around! Lol
😂😂😂 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 @@brendahhstiles9992
I'm human, then!😄
A london born boy here, i had just left School to start work when this was released, i was 15 years old, What a bunch of lucky little sods we were. We all went mad for anything from Motown, and Steve Wonder was a big favorite over here, Great times, great memories, and wonderful, wonderful music.
No one blows a harp like Stevie.. always so distinctive and amazing.
A harp? Are you sure? Perhaps you meant harmonica (although three people did agree with you!) 😄
Harp is musician-talk for a harmonica, shortened from mouth-harp. Like axe is a guitar.
@@user-pf7jm9go6o How have I got to 63 years of age and never known this? Every day a school day! Thank you! 😃
If you remember Credence Clearwater's Down on the Corner, there's that line, "Willy picks a tune out, and he blows it on the harp."
I’m picturing at least 3 different harps to cover the range of notes he hit! Like Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson surrounded by keyboards.
Andy, you brought a tear to my eye. Your mom is very fortunate to have you in her life. I lost my parents to cancer 3 months apart end of 2004 start of 2005. They were both very into music, my dad a big Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell fan, my mom loved Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, and oddly, the Alan Parsons Project. We shared a lot of music together when things got rough. It helped a lot. Wishing you and your family the best.
👍🤠 Great song, liked it for nearly 40 years. Andy, cancer is not an automatic death sentence. I’ve beaten stage 4 twice and have stage 3 now fighting it now. “No one fights alone” be there for him, especially the bad days. (S)
A&A, you’ll love his “Ribbon In The Sky” and "You Haven't Done Nothin'" !!! The 8th Wonder of the World!!!
Love 💗💗💗 imagine Stevie was a teenager when he recorded all his songs in the 60s! 18 when he recorded this. Thanks for sharing. God given talent
Jamerson killing it on this track.
Stevie Wonder just gets you going, his music is pure gold. 63 years old now and I never get burnt out on it.
"Sir Duke" is worth a listen.
A favorite
That may be a slight understatement!
They did Sir Duke a couple of years ago and, of course, loved it.
Saw him in 1968 in San Francisco at the old Fillmore. The Rolling Stones played the same night. We were all so young.
I remember watching him when he was 13 playing Fingertips on Where The Action Is. Dick Clark introduced him as Little Stevie Wonder.
He has had a great career.
Stevie Wonder = Musical Genius…💕
For me this is about being loved for the first time. His vocal improvs are perfect
So sorry to hear about your Step-Father prayers for his recovery.
Stevie Wonder is the gold standard of pure, joyful, badass entertainment. A TRUE American Treasure. Unequaled.
Stevie is is phenomenal.
You guys need to hit his cover of "We Can Work It Out". One of the best Beatles covers.
Even Greater Dept: This song was an *old* chestnut, most commonly (but not exclusively) done as a ballad by Sinatra, Bennett, and lounge singers in piano bars all across the land. That SW turned “your mother’s music” into a goosebump SW jam is just more 🔥
aaaah i didnt read down this far and replied to someone that my grandma had the tony bennett full album ,for once in my life..which my dad got and it was copyright 68. id play it here and there ..but would put zeppelin and the doors back on if people came home
Stevie is an American treasure.
He's one of the GOATs.
For another great '60s Stevie song, try "I Was Made to Love Her".
His 70’s music lives in S tier
There are many talented musicians, and a few on a completely different level. You know which level Stevie is on.
Good thoughts and prayers for your Stepfather and Mom.
Stevie is a God-like genius to me.
For those of us fortunate enough to be boomers,Stevie was part of our life.
Motown,love it.
He is, not only for you.
No truer words: “Any Stevie’s good.”
You know it…
The usual splendid commentary, although we wish there was more. One thing to note is the key change, as it moves up a half step from F to F# at the harmonica solo. This is a trick Stevie Wonder used in many, many of his hits (e.g., If You Really Love me, You are the Sunshine of My Life, My Cherie Amour, etc.) and it's always natural, never obvious, but gives a great sense of lift when it comes in. Well done, gentlemen.
Stevie Wonder has always been next level. Even his earliest performance of Fingertips at the age of 13 was incredible.
Sorry about your stepdad’s trouble, so glad you and mom can count on each other. Best thoughts to you and yours Andy.
Welcome to Stevie Wonder. The man made unique, super music. For awhile he owned the music world. Where are the musicians like this today?
it really is a great song and he did make it his own .. but I dont think he wrote the song because tony bennett had an album called for once in my life.with a song of the same title..grandma had it in no later than 68. cause she moved and my dad helped her but apparently a couple of boxes "wouldnt fit in her new place" lol and dad had " to store them"..i really doubt tony wrote it either.
SO talented. Easily Top 5 in last 60 years.
as a professional bass player for many years, I will tell you that transcribing James Jamerson's line and studying them (along with the chord chart) could be 50% of all you need to do to get "good enough" to make a living
Music is horrible career advice (not bitter), but sponging up Jamerson would be an excellent use of your time.
@@danmayberry1185 agree
@@danmayberry1185 agree - if there is any doubt in your mind that you could be something else, do THAT.
He's just simply Wonder-ful. Go through the songs from the late 60s to the early 80's that hes written and recorded and be amazed. Even more amazing was how young he was when he wrote, sang and played on those songs. Even though hes lacking one of his senses, its amazing that hes able to show these human emotions effortlessly.
Saw Stevie in a night club venue in Australia sing this, he was about 18yrs old at the time. I've followed Stevie since he was about twelve. (I'm 81 right now) Highlight of my life. He also played Alfie on the harmonic as an instrumental.
So glad I grew up on this kind of music
This is such a feel good song ❤ One of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs ✨
Was in junior high during British Invasion .. so I’ve listened to all of Stevie’s music .. I’m really excited how young people react to his music .. great channel!
One of my first rock concerts in the early '70s was Stevie Wonder at the Paramount in Portland, OR. An amazing performance. He made you forget his blindness with his incredible voice and the way he played the keys and harmonica. What a showman!
Instrumentals are thick and lush.
Any Stevie is a good thing! Thank you!
Two of his most funky songs that you haven't hit yet are You Haven't Done Nothin' and Maybe Your Baby. Oh Lordy.
Lots prayers are heading your way, Andy. Please remember that positivity is truly a healing perspective. And there is nothing more positive than love!!!
One of Stevie’s best!
I've always loved Stevie and I'm so glad I was around for his beginning! I got to see him in concert in the 80's and he was beyond amazing. Such a warm beautiful human.
Stevie has been around for a long time. “At the end of 1962, when Wonder was 12 years old, he joined the Motortown Revue, touring the "Chitlin' Circuit" of theatres across America that accepted black artists. At the Regal Theater, Chicago, his 20-minute performance was recorded and released in May 1963 as the album Recorded Live: The 12 Year Old Genius.” -Wikipedia
@@Junebugreen Oh, yes I know. I was a fan from Jr High days in the 60's. Love all Motown, although I wouldn't say Stevie is only Motown. He's in a class all his own.
I was born '67. Stevie was a staple in our house, with mom playing the radio, or she had a couple Stevie LPs in regular rotation. Even as a child he was so easy and uplifting to listen to. 😊 Very jelly that you saw him live! LOL But totally grateful that you shared!!
Literally my favorite song of all time, and I say that as someone born in 1999; this song is timeless & beautiful.
You can never go wrong with Stevie ❤ Prayers for your step-dad & family Andy 🙏
2:35 - Stevie's harmonica solo over the legendary James Jamerson's bass...! Pure musical joy!!
Master Blaster. Let's go
Wish I could give this song ten thumbs up. Such a great record. Stevie always evokes the warmest parts of our hearts.
The best reactions on this channel are when they listen to Stevie Wonder.
I only like a handful of his songs BUT IN SAYING THAT…. I could never deny the magic he creates! A talent beyond many!!
Best wishes to the family. One of the great recordings. Stevie and JJ. Top shelf harmonica and bass. Top shelf song writing. Top shelf arrangement. And of course, top shelf vocal.
Stevie can make some serious lemonade out of the lemons we get handed to us. Take heart Andy and keep using your talents to lift up those who need uplifting… That’s S tier compassion.
Listening to Stevie just makes you feel good!!!
I loved your connection with the song, Andy. Fighting cancer is brutal for the whole family so I pray for strength for all of you.
You should watch the RUclips clip of Stevie when he was a guest on Tom Jones's TV show in the '60s and they sang each other's hits. What a time to be alive!
Andy, you actually brought tears to my eyes. Best wishes for your family.
Can't go wrong with the Stevie Wonder discography. Lots of great hits over the years.
I’m so glad you guys did this one - it’s a HIGHLY underrated Stevie Wonder song. The chord progression alone is incredible. I’m getting married in August and this will absolutely be on the wedding playlist.
Andy, I’m sorry for what you and your loved ones are going through, but I’m glad this song resonates with you at this difficult time. Sending lots of love to you and your family.
Andy your Mom should hear your commentary about how this song made you feel. What a beautiful expression of your love and appreciation for her and the current journey she and your family is on with your stepdad.
Prayers of strength and healing to your family and for his healthy recovery.
I have been listening to Stevie since he was the musical phenom in the 60’s. He was about 13 or 14 when he had his first hit record. He’s done nothing but excel in his abilities since.
Truly a blessing to us all. Always uplifting music. Never a bad song😊
Picture it, America, Autumn 1968 and playing on the radio "For Once In My Life" by Stevie Wonder. Priceless 🤗 ⚾
Stevie was 17 when he recorded this. It was on his 10th album.
Stevie's most underrated song.
Great song with Stevie on harmonica is Dave Mason's "The Lonely One" from Mason's "It's Like You Never Left" album..In fact, every song off that album is great!..But Stevie on that song is so quintessential him..Soon as you hear it you know instantly who it is...Best wishes for your Stepdad, Andy.
Sending prayers for your mom, stepdad and you ❤
More Stevie, “Isn’t she Lovely”, “you are the sunshine of my life” and “I was made to love her” is one of my faves
It's hard not to mouth the words to this! This is one of the most upbeat & joyous songs ever recorded. Then there's Stevie, a one of a kind musical machine.
Love teenage Stevie! This is a cover, but his version is definitely the best!
I’m praying for you and your family, Andy. I’m glad you came upon such uplifting music as Stevie’s is. Good music is so healing for the soul. I grew up in Detroit and we used to see him for free at our state fair.
Such an anthem. My sister and I used to sing this to each other: "For once in my life, I saw Jeff clean his room." "For once in my life, I saw Pam take a shower." And so it went. Fun song.
GOOOOOOOOOD STILL MORNING A&A FAMILY! ☮️💟♾️
This song was wildly covered and found its way into every TV variety show and live performances. I also love the Gladys Knight & The Pips version.
The Funk Brothers and Jamerson on Bass is PERFECTION
Little Stevie Wonder ~ He takes you to church!
That was absolutely amazing! What happened right there. The vibrations are saying HEY!
That voice, I love it. 🎶🎶🎶😍😍😍
Andy, wishing you and your family all the strength and healing to overcome this difficult time. God bless you!
He's such a distinctive artist. When he's working with someone else, he stands out. Example: Nobody Else in the World But You, by Don Henley. He brings his funk. You know it's him. Like Bruce Hornsby. If you know his style, you can hear him in collab works.
Stevie = magic
Top 5 Stevie song for me, that chord progression is unreal; I kinda wish it was longer because of how good it is but it really didn’t need to be to feel complete.
Stevie’s amazing. One of the greatest harmonica tracks ever. James Jameson incredible. This was a very exciting time to be growing up because music was evolving so rapidly that so much sonically that really had never been heard before was recorded by the greats: Stevie, JB, Marvin, Curtis, along with Beatles, Stones, Who, Doors, etc. There is just so much music being created at this time that formed the foundation for the musical explosion that occurred during the 1970s.
I strongly suggest you listen to James Brown 1967 release of Cold Sweat (parts 1 and 2). Literally thousands of later songs were built on its roots. Nothing quite like it had ever been heard before.
I have to further comment. Stevie’s voice, lyrics and harmonica are exceptional. But I’m most fascinated by the wonderful layering of sound (so evident in later R&B, funk and hip hop) with the rhythm guitar, drums, incredible bass, multiple piano tracks and background vocals. Stevie and Motown were taking the sonic instrumentation from the Big Band era (Ellington, Basie…) and incorporating into a three minute hit song. Brilliant
One of the best songs ever.
This song invented goose bumps. S tier lovefest.
Just about everything I've ever heard from Stevie is "S" level. Mic drop!
Authentic and awesome. Stevie W.
there are NO bad Stevie Wonder songs...prodigy, amazing vocals.
The music just kept coming and coming ,we were so spoiled. I wish our culture still honored the arts the way it did in the 20th century . There is so much talent out there and not enough support for the young to flourish. I know I know computers but nothing beats a room full of musicians that have honed their skills by playing out any and every kind of gig .
There is a lot still out there, it’s just not mainstream like it was
@@tylerhackner9731 agreed, I guess my thought was, as a society should be developing young artists . Helping them find their voices, the arts are our humanity, without them we implode. We need to gather and experience things that broaden our perspective.The young especially need arts like music to process their experiences,to know they aren’t alone in what they go through
I loved the juxtaposition of Andy & Alex not knowing what comes next in the song while the Boomer in the background is mouthing the words and playing a pretend harmonica at just the right moment.
I was right there with Boomer dude.
@@catleeper Me too! It's always so funny to me that I know what is next in a song, but A&A don't. I usually know what parts are going to blow their socks off ahead of time.
Generation X but I’ll let you off… 😉
@@mikeymckinnon5778 Close! I knew if you were a Boomer, you were one of the youngest ones.
@@lorrilewis2178 😂🤣🤣
I just had this song playing in my car yesterday and my 38 yr old son who never heard it before started tapping his feet and hands to the beat. You can’t help but smile and feel happy when a Stevie Wonder song like this is playing. Andy - wishing your stepdad a quick and healthy recovery.
