Stevie Wonder play piano, harmonica, drums, moog bass on this song. A musical genius.
while blind wuuuuuut?
One of the most supremely talented individuals to ever grace this planet. He played all the instruments on this track (with the exceptions of the congas).
Stevie is a genius. Livin' for the City is a classic.
Stevie Wonder was one of the first to come out with that hard funky keyboard sound which alot of R&B artists used in the late 70's and even more in the 80's. He was the granddaddy of that sound, that is for sure. After this song, he came out with SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE, an incredible masterpiece, easily one of the best albums of the 70's.
of all time.
Yes, the harmonica was his so-called "calling card"....what he had perfected before he was a teen. I was fortunate to have seen him as "Little Stevie Wonder" at the Michigan State Fair in 64. He's one of a kind... SUPER talented!!!!
This is the time period where Stevie Wonder was running on 8 cylinders on every hit song and album. From 1972 to 1977 he was untouchable. They were backing up the Grammy truck like every year for him back then. Classic greatness
He and his two mad scientists pulling the plugs and cords on their magic musical keyboard setup!
So very well spoken........
A truly multi-talented musical genius, I feel like we'll never have another Stevie.
Asia & BJ, you’ll love his “Sir Duke”, “Superstition”, “Don't You Worry 'bout A Thing”, “ My Cherie Amour” and dozens more!!!!! He played amazing harmonica on his first hit “Fingertips Part 2” at age 13 (1963), back when he was ‘Little Stevie Wonder’.
I'm surprised yall haven't done more Stevie. Hes one of the top 5 greatest artists of all-time
He has so many hits over his long career--"Ribbon In The Sky", "Stay Gold", "Part Time Lover", "I Just Called To Say I Love You" "Isn't She Lovely" "Higher Ground" "As" "Living For The City" "Happy Birthday" "Overjoyed."
Living For The City must be the album version, live versions always cut out the arrest section.
If you read his album covers, he plays almost all the instruments. His harmonica playing is distinctive, I heard a 98 Degree album and said, that's Stevie Wonder - I was right! He's unbelievably talented.
Wife here..I Looooove this song!!.He is sooo INCREDIBLE it's hard to pick your favorite from his AMAZING catalog!!..But, this is in the top 2 of his for myself!!...And that Piano.., Funk and Harmonica PURE TALENT!!🥰❣
There are musicians (like Mr. Wonder) and bands (like Sly & The Family Stone) that makes my memories of the 70's magical. This is one of those songs that takes me there.
As is evident from this track, Stevie is the Groovemaster Supreme! I'm hard pressed to think of anyone else from his era whose work was comparable to his. Yes, Marvin Gaye, Yes, EW&F; I even put him above MJ for overall creativity because he wrote most of his songs. Innervisions is just one of his masterpieces - world class excellence on multiple levels.
There is Stevie Wonder,then there is the rest.
GOAT
@@TheCornishCockney I totally agree! He is the greatest of many true greats!
That song is all stevie - vocals, drums, harmonica, piano, bass synths, clavinet. He is truly a musical phenomenon!
I’m so glad somebody finally reacted to this song. This is my favorite song by him a total jam!!!
To me the most impressive song he does is For Once in My Life. It's so amazing because when it was recorded he was 17! You have to hear how he sounded at that age. It will blow you away.
In a league of his own. So many great songs through the years.
Stevie could always bring the FUNK
Stevie Wonder is one of the most innovative musicians/singers that came out of the 60's/70's/80's and on. His library of music is incredible and you cannot go wrong playing any of his songs. My two favorite albums are Talking Book, and Innervisions. Every song is a gem. Please do react to more Stevie Wonder, you will not be disappointed.
I can’t believe this your first Stevie Wonder. You could do a hit song from him every day for a year and never hit a bad one.
You’ve never heard Stevie Wonder?????? Hard to believe…YOURE GONNA LOVE HIM as everyone always has! Do “Superstition” next. SOON
On this song as in most of this album, he played all the instruments, even drums. Somebody else is playing the congas though.
The man is a living Legend plain and simple.
I forgot about that killer harmonica solo.He used it a lot in his earlier records.
he plays the heck out of those keyboards also!
Stevie's music along with Aretha is part of the soundtrack of my life. There is not a phase of my life that one of Stevie's song is not in it. I'm 60, so it's been a long time.
Love this song! He's the best. He played the harmonica on his very first hit song, which was when he was 12 or 13 yrs old.
He was 12. Fingertips Part 1 and Part2
I got to see Stevie in concert in 1988 or 1989...
Best concert I've ever been to... And I still go to live shows frequently.
Best concert. Stevie has all those keyboards around him in a huge circle and he had a grand piano towards the front of the stage. His name was super tight but none of them compared to Stevie
You really should see Stevie do Sting's song 'Fragile', backed by Sting and his band. Stevie's vocals on that are absolutely incredible, and his harp work is just as good.The look on Sting's face during the harp solo is priceless. You need this in your life!
I used to think Prince was the most prolific musician ever, but Stevie is a hit machine. I have them as the two best ever.
You were right about Prince. They were both child prodigies musically though. It may seem like Stevie is or the organ to but it’s a brother named Clarence.

Genius with sound and instruments, prolific songwriter (see the many albums and single hits suggested below), social activist (Dr. King's national holiday) spiritually aware ("Innervisions")...his songs cover everything in the human experience. From his 1st appearance on the Lawrence Welk show (about 16 yrs old with harmonica) to playing 2 keyboards and a synthesizer during live performances - "Legend" covers it.
I saw Stevie in concert in 2014. One the best days of my life, at 67. See him if you can! He sounds the same and is a joy!
Stevie, Wonder by name, Wonder by nature. Amazing Genius! 🥰
Now THIS is how ya work 3 chords...If only all musicians in my area would learn that and not just do blues shuffles, I'd work with ;em more!! Stevie was just as good on harmonica as he was on keyboards in my opinion-happy sounding licks on the take-out! 6:33, yes, Asia, According to Motown studio pianist Earl Van Dyke, "Stevie picked up stuff from us so fast, by the time he was 18, he didn't need us on his records no more--he could play it all himself!
There's more than 3, but not much more..I get what you're saying
😅😅..
I cant believe this is 50 years old. Stevie Wonder has yet to be matched in his ability to create great music.
Wow, where would this crazy world be without the music genius of Sir Stevie Wonder , even with so many other genius singers , music artists, producers and such, not many can compare to the sheer music master songwriting, production, arrangements and melodies he created , all while being blind, only SIr Ray Charles did the same . So many other recording artists, old and young carry their artistry through Stevie Wonder’s influence, the greatest living musical genius’ of the last 50 decades.
I don't know how they stay in their seats for the 1st two minutes! One of my favorites, ever...📻 🎼🎵🎶
Asia's face says it all! Stevie is the BEST!
One of Stevie`s songs that people seem to forget, because he was so young when he recorded it is " Yesterme yesteryou yesterday " ( the original version )...You both will love it.
Let me tell you The Masta Blasta mr Wonder is absolutely Magical. In his presence you feel as if you are amongst the Angels.. he makes you wanna cry, you become a child again
permanent playlist since it was released all those many years ago...cannot go wrong with Stevie Wonder!!!
SW opened for John Lennon's 1972 concert - then on December 8th, 1980, during one of SW's concerts, he stopped to announce that Lennon had just been shot and killed in NYC. On the Paul and Linda McCartney album Red Rose Speedway from 1973 - is written in braille on the inside back sleeve..."we love you Stevie!"
Stevie Wonder can actually play every instrument in the band... including the drums....go down that rabbit hole it's worth the Journey.
His greats hits has some of the best and most unique instrumentation you will ever hear!
Yes! The genius Stevie Wonder! This song is one of my favorites of his; he has such a huge catalog! Fact: My family knows to play his song “AS” at my funeral; please react to see how poetic and soulful he is!!! ❤
I loved looking at their reaction this is what I grew op on, He taught himself. Glad I found yall.
Stevie is one of the top 5 most talented music performers ever, if not the top (definitely GOAT potential). And somehow, he has a song like this which is totally underrated. Great song
Stevie 1st song was fingertips when he was 13.. This song featured his harmonica playing.
.
I love so very many of his songs but this is still probably my favorite. It came out when I was in grade school and I had just gotten this combination FM AM radio and cassette deck recorder portable thing for Christmas and third grade and one of the features of it was that you could dub directly from the radio onto cassette tape and so I would listen to the radio and when one of my songs came on especially something new that I didn't know if I would hear again or not I would punch record and build up these compilation tapes basically and I captured this one on it. And I played it over and over and over and it was on the radio a whole lot at that time.
Everything about this song totally slays me. Everything. And especially, being a musician, I just appreciate so much his ability to not only play but just to put songs like this together. Every layer in this song is pure fire but that Moog bass just gets me every damn time. It's just so amazing and funky and percolating in between spastic fits of just totally going off and it works against that incredible drum beat so well and the piano and then it plays back and forth off of the long harp solo at the end so well. And I love the way he slurs his words like he's borderline drunk. I've also thought for a long time that it's really poignant the fact that some of the lines in here about he wishes he could see these women dancing he wishes he could see them in the raw under the stars above and so forth, the fact that he's blind just adds a certain something to the effect of that.
My heart is lifted every time I hear this wonderful genius of a human being!!!!!!!
Stevie can play EVERY instrument just as he plays the harmonica
One man band. Can write sing produce arrange. Can do it all. An absolute music genius. One of a kind. Paul McCartney said stevie wonder makes him want to retire. Once a century talent.
one of my all-time favorite songs. I used to crank this up on my stereo system when I was getting ready for work and it was so loud that it made the lights dim to the beat. by the way I love rock and roll, hard Rock and I'm a 60 year old white dude, but I absolutely love this song always have!
This is from Grammy of The Year Award winning album. He combines a basic blues pattern with a reggae rhythm with a back-beat and a funk bass-line. A seamless mix of styles with a lazy slurred blues vocal
Genius Stevie…
Livin just enough for the City, Jesus children of America couple of great tunes from the 70's. Little Stevie Wonder from the 60's too. I was made to love Her. You would enjoy 😉
He played harmonica for several stars. Great session musician. Played the chromatic harmonica. Very hard
Stevie Wonder…….God of music.
Stevie Wonder put out a lot of great music 🎶
It’s Stevie Wonder, all of his songs are great
Man I LISTENED to this every time it was time to pick up my 18 year old girlfriend! this was our love making song in the day- Yup... You guys brought back my finest hours! LMAO! This song would still be a major hit today! FUNK AT ITS FINEST! Thank you both...
On this album Stevie played all the instruments. His other big hit from this album was "You Haven't Done Nothing", his ode to the politicians (mostly Richard Nixon) of the day.
he taught himself NUMEROUS instruments...a genius.
Boogie on Reggae Woman features Wonder's signature harmonica, although not his usual chromatic type but instead a diatonic A-flat "blues harp." The song is also notable for Wonder's pulsating Moog Synthesizer bass-line. The lyrics are designed as a dialogue between "nice" and "naughty" intent, including the introduction to his harmonica break, which incorporates Wonder's casual but repeated question, "Can I play?". Following the conclusion of the vocal, the harmonica is reprised for the remaining seventy seconds, concluding the last thirty bars of the tune, to the fade. The song peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #1 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart for two weeks between 1974 and 1975. Don't be fooled by the title: the song doesn't contain any reggae or boogie music, but rather R&B with funk and blues influences.
When Stevie got a cut, he bled MUSIC. One of the most talented musicians ever.
Asia gets it - most legit reactions on YT and that’s not just a harmonica Stevie blows a chromatic harmonica extremely difficult.
When I was a little kid in the 70's my dad had a 1966 Chrysler Imperial sedan and one of my earliest memories was of him playing this Stevie Wonder 8 track tape in that big car.
Now we're in the biiiig time when you are dealing with Stevie. A true genius.
Gotta love Stevie's funky stuff. Speaking of Funk, you still gotta give a listen to Tina Turner - Funkier Than A Mosquitoes Tweeter.
Stevie Wonder taught himself how to play EVERYTHING! He was a little blind kid buggin' all the Motown studio musicians about what they were playing.
Legend - nobody could make those early synths talk like Stevie. Everybody and their brother started _trying_ to imitate his vocal runs also...most of them just need to go home and leave it to Stevie : ) Asia, there's a guy in Nashville named Pat Bergeson (a session player) that is also an _amazing_ harmonica (and guitar) player. But practically no ultra _famous_ people could play it like Stevie!
Thank you so much for this reaction!!! More Stevie please😊
Harmonica. Stevie kinda taught himself. He had a great book that illustrates the principles well for him.
The GOAT.
Too good.
Now we’re talking! Always loved this one✌️
The lead singer of the band 'Tenderloin' is possibly the best harmonica player alive. You should check out their instrumental song 'Heavy Bong' or for a song with lyrics check out 'Daddy Was A Clydesdale.'
Appreciate Stevie everytime. No miss music. May I hear some harmonica.? YEAH.
My favorite artist
Oh my God it's you guys again lol I watch something with you everyday you're more addictive than the pandemic!!!!! Thanks so much for going back to my teenage years to win dancing was the fun thing to do and listen to music was the only thing to do! 💕
Nobody teaches Stevie,.....Stevie teaches you!
"Higher ground"
" Living for the city"
"I wish"
this song and I Wish are so funky !
Please check out 'Living in the City' a Stevie Wonder classic!
Stevie is a GOAT ' he writes for other singers.
Stevie Wonder....anytime.....anyplace.....anywhere. Just play it.
Asia, He played every instrument on many his recordings
"got a little funk in it" understatement of the century
4:03 interestingly enough, this is the *only* Stevie Wonder song to use a diatonic harmonica! (The kind normally associated with, say, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, or Little Walter.) Most of the time he’s playing a chromatic harmonica, which you can hear Stevie play on songs like “If It’s Magic” or even the harmonica solo on Elton John’s song “I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues”.
Check out "Sir Duke". It's got an amazing groove.
my all-time favorite song, and the best opening lines of any song
He usually plays the chromatic harmonica, but here he plays a diatonic, the kind they play in the blues.
Please play Stevie's first hit at the age of 13, Fingertips
He played every instrument like 8
On the album at 13!!!
He and Bonnie Raitt sang at SRVs funeral...... Amazing Grace.
One of my top 5 favs from Mr. WONDER. Thanks for sharing Asia and B.J. love this channel.
Stevie started with the harmonic playing in Finger Tips
Omg, I love this song, Stevie and reggae what a great combination.
Boogie on
Yes Stevie Wonder taught himself how to play the harp. He is the greatest at it.
I am so happy to see you react to this. It’s my favorite Stevie Wonder song!!
Plays all instruments on this one! (and many more) The harmonica is on fire, but what about that bass (bass synths and clavinet)? One of the Funkiest bass lines ever! 😎
Can't go wrong with Stevie
My favorite parts of this hands down are the little piano tinkles at the end of the title line, and him asking himself, can I play? Lol phish did this live and while I’m not a big Phan of their originals their covers slapped and this was no exception.
I wonder between Stevie and Prince, who played the most instruments!!! Both played at least 20 instruments individually!!! Did you notice all the wanting to see from a blind man??? And Stevie is self taught as is Prince!!!! Black excellence coming at you!!!
Damn good choice,love it
