D'ed'e I think Prince could write a song at a drop of a hat. Little Richard could go to the piano and write anything. So can Lionel Richie. I've seen Lionel and Little Richard actually do it. And Prince said he wrote a song a day. So I believe he could with no issue.LOL. But the term musical genius is tossed around a bit much, but the 4 mentioned are that.

Back to you in the news room Jimmy; we'll keep you posted on updates
THE GREATEST SINGER/SONGWRITER, ARRANGER, PRODUCER, MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST, CIVIL & HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST & HUMANITARIAN EVER!!!! Stevie Wonder= God of ALL Music !!!
As I recall those days, there was indeed a great deal of pride and unity in the community. At the time, there was a great emphasis on getting yourself together which meant getting a good education. This is a very touching scene. When I watch this it makes me so sad to see how things have degraded in the world of entertainment where music has actually been weaponized against the unity of the community. I’m so glad I was raised during this time period when it was very normal to call each other brother and sister instead of these horrible names we so routinely and publicly call each other now. Thank you a Stevie and especially thank you the Late Great Don Cornelious
I wish we could just go back to those days. Hurry up with that time machine! The Seventies just had something that is sorely missed in our current age, especially when it comes to music. Thankfully, Stevie is still with us. He's our link to those halcyon days.
Let mever forget to embraced our differences. I see all of those amazing Afro hair style and im blown away how freaking cool they look. I ised to see back in the 80s some women from other countries doing Afeo hair styles as well because back in the 70s it was embraced and accepted. Idk why today I see celebrities with blonde wavy hair. If one does not accept one self, noone else will.
@@janetownley They’re both great to me. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t consider Stevie Wonder similarly important to pop music in the late 20th century. He was a fan of the Beatles, friendly with them personally, particularly with Paul McCartney, they wrote songs together, and he cried and was depressed when John Lennon died. I’ll take that as an endorsement.
My mother told me when she was a teenager in Detroit that she used to go see the talent shows of all of the young Motown singers and they paid with bottle caps.
Sesa Naga Matepi She was a young teenager and new some of the Motown stars when they first started out in their singing groups. She said they had talent shows and that's what you had to bring to get in was bottle caps.
God, please send us another brother like Stevie Wonder........a real totally talented thinker, composer, singer, producer, etc Stevie Wonder is one the living proofs that God is real!
The dude's just having a little fun and the beauty of it is moving me to tears. Stevie Wonder is the father of modern soul music. Before him nobody was trying to sing like that and once he made his mark for 10-15 years, EVERYBODY was trying to sing like that. If he hasn't won the Gershwin award yet, the Gershwin award doesn't even mean s**t. (OK, update: He won it in 2009, the second one ever awarded, preceded only by Paul Simon and yeah, he's a beast of a songwriter but nowhere near the singer and performer as Stevie Wonder.)
Madame Delon sharing a flash from the past... I'm standing behind Don Cornelius in a white turtleneck with a red & white Plaid blazer next to Damita jo Freeman in red shorts
Stevie opened the door to another culture, other life, other country to me. I was born in Germany, later I lived in Latin America, my daughter was born in Dominican Republic. I appreciate so much that I could live there, with the people and their culture!
I remember this as a senior in high school class of 1973. This is entertainment, but make no mistake, it is also absolutely essential to young black teens at that time. Don Cornelius was a serious man, you hardly every saw him smile much less laugh, but Stevie had him laughing. That Speaks to the power of music and the Genius of Stevie Wonder. Back then you didn't see too many people that looked like me on TV. This show was a part of the Civil Rights movement because it kept young blacks like me at the time believing and joyful on the inside. Never missed an episode of Soul Train back in da day. RIP Don Cornelius.
Do you know how talented you have to be to come up with chords, lyrics, and addictive melodies on the fly like that? Stevie is truly 1 of 1 man. Inspirational.
I m not black but I am In the sense that my African roots get me in a mood. Happy thankful for God . Black people is a part of my history and a part of my life
The guy instantly improvise a song better than 99.99 % of the song ever written in human history. 😂
Word
When you improvise at Stevie's level, it IS writing.
@@soverycleanStevie is demonstrating what is very common in jazz and the Blues.. thinking compositionally. Keep in mind that he was surrounded by great musicians at Motown from a very early age 🎵

Exactly

Amazing. Stevie Wonder truly is one of God's greatest gifts to mankind
1000000%,
god isn't real, and if so that creep has much to answer for
@@morbidmanmusicGod is real. Your unbelief doesn’t make Hell any less hot 🤷🏾♂️
Couldn’t say it any better myself!
I wanna cry it's so beautiful, the music, the people, the vibe!!! wow
Amen. And really, the last show, that was a part of us.
Absolutely!!
Definitely high (positive) vibrations.
Hugs. We will find pur way back to being children of mother nature!💓✌🏽
This is the beauty of black people. Forever young. Forever beautiful. Forever Joyful.
And back in those days seem like they embraced that beauty more. They were influencing other cultures. Then something seem to have happen and they forgot how well they were doing. Now I see a lot of black celebrities with blonde straight hair.
So much class back then. So smooth and hip. Classy dressers and well kept. No big asses.

I think he's the only person on earth that whould get me star struck. I just love him! He is a truly musical genius.
Saw him at a festival a few years back. Was an honour to see him perform live. Such passion and love for music
The greatest musician ever!!!!!
No doubt about it
The greatest mainstream musician of the XX for sure
where all the brothers and sisters get together yea
Crazy how Stevie Wonder can just improvise something that's better than any song most musicians will ever write

The acoustics is that studio are amazing he sounds so good when he starts really singing loud
Totally agreed. His voice just carries and he sounds so soulful.
C'mon.... This is Stevie Wonder were talking about here. He sounds good regardless of the space hes in.
I don't know why I keep coming back to this video just to end up in tears
it's amazing and a reflection of the flow of soul in the 70s... no one trying to be narcissistic .. well maybe a few cats.. LOL

Who says that?
Beautiful moment in Soul Train history.

Stevie is a musical genius.
this can never get old
Amazing! Look how happy they all looked. Music doesn't seem to do that anymore. Bring out another album Stevie!!!

Only on Soul Train does everyone get on the clap so perfectly so quickly. Lol. Amazing.
The Soul of Black people (meaning nothing racist!) is unmatched. They knew exactly the perfect timing to join and accompanying SW playing.
