    I love it when a young person discovers some great music from my childhood. This is so fun! Nobody compares to Stevie. He is in a league of his own. I hope you continue to discover even more.

    There's a documentary That's called "The Wonder Years"... When Stevie was in his mid 20's putting out TIMELESS music for 5 albums straight.. He's definitely on the G.O.A.T. list.

    The tune doesn’t abruptly ends, it flows straight into Golden Lady.

    You said "this band" - the band was Stevie - he played everything, check out the live drums.

    In the days of this music I was in my teens and twenties and in bands. This was an AMAZING time to be alive and to hear all this unbelievable music.

    Sensitive topics? Every other song that hit in those days was a serious look at a sensitive subject. A revolution was in progress at the time. We did not tiptoe around anything!

    Wasn’t the song that took a turn bruh, just took you a little time dialing in to the lyric: ‘To find a job, is like a haystack needle, ‘cause where he live, they don’t use colored people…’. You were groovin had, but even the title itself is not a real positive thing. From the sociopolitical standpoint, (not racial), it’s just as relevant today. Sometimes we get up in the music & just be groovin & not hearing the piece as a whole with the song subject, then we’re caught off guard. This reflects a phase when artists of certain popularity increasingly produced more music reflecting issues of the time. Marvin Gaye’s What’s Goin On, & MercyMercy Me; Isley Brothers’ Fight The Power; Stylistics’ People Make the World Go Round; Temptations’ Ball of Confusion. Would highly recommend a documentary called HITSVILLE: The Making of Motown. 👍

    A song that doesn't step around the truth. This one was a harbinger , Innovative at the time, underappreciated. BKAB by Ethan Stoller ( speech full mix). Good job, stay well.

    So when does a microphone turn into a boomerang?
    All thoughout this song everytime Stevie dropped the mike it
    it bounced back up off the floor into his hands so he could keep going with it!
    Not just his fantastic vocals
    the head bangjng instrumentation but to round it off with a vocal harmony mix of triumph and dispair is absolutley fantastic and makes you want to give in to a standing ovation!
    This song was unlike anything that came out during that era. The entire album was a masterpeice and worth every grammy it earned.

    I was a young teen when I first heard this song - the radio version, anyway. One day I went to visit a cousin and his sister had the album. I can honestly say it was the very first time I ever heard the n-word. I had to ask my mom what a nigger was. She slapped me. Thank you, mom, for raising me to see everyone as equal.
    Your teachings from the Book of Equality are with me to this day...
    By the way, to this day I cannot STAND to hear that word. The use of which is the main reason I cannot stand listening to gangsta rap. That word. Over and over again. No thanks...

    Hey Brad, I just subscribed…You have a great voice and your reactions are great because you really understand what is going on with the chord progressions, harmonies, rhythm and emotions…
    I want to recommend that you listen to “Save the Planet” from the White Trash album by The Edgar Winter Group featuring Jerry LaCroix…the whole album is fantastic and I think you will dig the range and emotion of the singing…nothing else like it…early 70s

    They do still electronics today, in almost every song. It's called Auto-tune or Reverb ect. And though discrimination still happens, it's less common, partly because it has to be more subtle, they have to come up with an excuse, any excuse just to search, and then they have to manufacture a reason for an arrest. One more thing, the 31st is Diana Ankudinova's 18th birthday.

    The entire song is rough. As a black guy who grew up at that time I can safely say black people didn't dance to this song. For most of us it was too real. And in the arriving in NYC and s black drug dealer handing him the drugs for $5 so not to get caught was not uncommon. That's why Stevie changed his tone and it became raw and dark. He's saying, regardless of skin tone, we can't keep doing this or we'll destroy ourselves.

    The way you missed all Stevie’s drum breaks.
    You’re hard to watch. Finally, never ever sing over Mr. Wonder. Ever.
