Stevie Wonder is a "National Treasure," he's an absolute iconic songwriter and musical genius!!! There's only 1 Stevie and there will never, ever be another one!!! The album this song "AS" is from: "Songs In The Key Of Life" is a masterpiece and considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time!!! Mic Drop!!!
@@chucku00 Yes, indeed "International Treasure," my apologies...Please forgive my selfish nationalism...LOL!!! I can certainly receive & accept constructive criticism, Stevie belongs to the entire world!!!
The greatest American singer/songwriter/musician. This is his best album and when it came out, they’d release one hit after another. It took two years and over 100 musicians. It is possibly the greatest recording of all time.
My all time favorite Stevie tune! You'd think the song would be called ALWAYS because he never says AS. Hmm... These lyrics are complex and jam packed. Try reading the lyrics on paper and get tongue-tied very quickly. Can you think of a more uplifting musical artist than Stevie Wonder? He is one of the true geniuses on earth's plane.
I'd go as far as to say that this may be the greatest song of all time. The level of love that he is expressing seems incomprehensible and that's what he tries to elude to with the lyrics of impossible comparisons. It's as if he goes beyond the human perspective of love and into a spiritual point of view.
I agree with my fellow commenter. Stevie Wonder is a National Treasure! He's a genius. He's my all-time favorite artist. His writing is excellent. Very deep poetic lyrics. He sees everything vividly without physical sight! He composes and arranges music perfectly. He's a multi-instrumentalist. And he's a good human. Really nice man. I cry everytime I hear this song. Good reaction! ❤️
For me it’s the best recordings ever made, so much skill and he gives everything in his writing and performances. Heard him live twice now and believe him to be true genius.
I’m getting married in August. This is our first dance song. I cannot understand why it is not more commonly used. I don’t think there is a more beautiful expression to your life partner than stevie’s declarations in this song! Also, talk about getting the party started…!
Chills! Its a reflection to me of Jesus's Love for for His Elect, His Chosen. He loves the world enough to die for them and call them to repentance, He loves How own infinitely - to the end and the beginning of Eternal Life! He makes us ONE with Him - Always!
Seeing Stevie in concert was on my bucket list. I finally got my chance at The New Orleans Jazz Festival in 2016. I will forever remember that beautiful concert! Stevie is such a 💎! 🙏🏾❤️💐🎹🎼🎤
It’s “Master Blaster, Jammin! I think, that’s 1 of my favorite Stevie Wonder, songs too! But, I love that 1 too! It’s so hard cause he’s just, Genius!!! Stevie has it all! Much love, again! Oh! My favorite group of all times, besides, Smokey Robinson, is The Dramatics!!! Love!!! To you!!!
Second watch and all I can say is OMG you are a beautiful woman and person that’s so freakin endearing it’s impossible not to love you 🥰 Many blessings, sister ☺️
I've said this on other SW reaction videos, and I'll say it again. The 3 hours that I saw him perform this entire album live-start to finish- were 3 of the most amazing hours of my life.
This is a absolutely classic stevie wonder song at his best love it, can I just compliment how gorgeous you are looking beautiful and another great reaction ❤
"THE SUPREME MASTER OF MUSICALITY". Back in the day while I was at UCLA during my undergraduate and graduate educations, I had to have all of Stevie Wonders albums, but in all honesty "Songs In The Key Of Life" is my all time favorite album of his!!!!!!
I've seen the studio version of this song he has his first baby's mother Yolanda Simmons singing backup vocals on this particular on the studio version if you can check it out❤
Stevie Wonder wow what can I say AS is a mater piece I have never heard such a lyric of conviction and so meaningful and soulful great song I loved your reaction great job.
This song, among all album, is a real timeless, priceless and smashing era of that marvelous black north american music Motown recordings. The lyrics are superb, Steve`s a genius both composer and piano player performer as well. my very first time listening to this, a December day back in 1977, and made my day. A masterpiece album to be played for ever, till the end of time. I always lover how you react to this musical jewels. Thanks for that.
This is a wonderfully life affirming song (Stevie had a knack for that) from a wonderfully life affirming album. It leaves you speechless and with that smile plastered on your face at the same time. Then when he kicks with that gospel voice, to quote another song from the album-'Knocks me off my feet'. Oh, that song you were humming at the beginning is 'Master Blaster' (Jammin), his homage to Bob Marley. Great, great suggestion.
"I wish I could play an instrument..." Played a couple earlier in life and now at 73 have started with a new one (guitar.... it's hard!) to keep my hands and mind moving!!! Do it now!!!
This is an iconic album by Stevie. My two favorite Stevie Wonder songs are My Cherie Amor and Ribbons in the Sky. You might want to check them out also.
As around the sun the earth tho she revolving…. One of the greatest songs of all time by one of the greatest of all time…and born in my hometown of Saginaw Mi.!!!!
Hello Angela: So, in the last hour, a Billy Joel then a Stevie Wonder tune. Clearly, you are not doing a "One Hit Wonder" theme! Keep up the good work! Always a pleasure to see new content from you.👍👍❤❤
This man is one of the greatest musical gifts this world has ever known. Way too many beautiful songs to mention. He is on the Mount Rushmore of American music. IF you love lyrics he is the man. Listing to Rocket Love, All I do, Lately, the list goes on a on.
Saw him one time....back in the 80s I think.......when he released his album.....'In Square Circle'. He was a guest on Oprah Winfrey's old show another time & he sang this. Oprah told him 'As' was her favorite song. There MIGHT be footage of that here on RUclips.
Angela, thanks so much for reacting to this beautiful song! I knew you'd love it. Stevie Wonder is such a master lyricist. I used some of the lyrics from this song to express my feelings for wife during our 50th wedding anniversary and vow renewal last year. I can't thank you enough for responding to my request! Your reactions are so expressive and genuine.❤
Stevie delivers a double meaning in this gem. In one perspective he's professing everlasting love for your significant other, but at the same time expressing God's infinite love for mankind.
We sometimes forget that Stevie Wonder was, is and will always be the BEST songwriter of our generation. But please.....next time, let the song finish. It's that long for a reason. That's how he wanted it to fade; he did that many times, especially on that album: repeat a motif until it got hypnotic. Respect his work enough to hear all of it from beginning to end.
This first time I heard this as a kid. I thought of my mom. Sitting down stairs and how much I loved her. And how much I loved did not make sense. As this love this dose not make since but the passion for some one does. Thank you Stevie
SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE IS ON ALMOST EVERYONE TOP ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. I have loved this since it came out and i was a teenager in hs. it delvers to this day. AS is a great tune. TRIVIA alert, Elton John said in an interview not too long ago that this album is with him everywhere he goes, home travel etc always.
I love Stevie Wonder's music. "I was born to love her" is probably my favorite song by him. He also performed with Paul McCartney in a song written by Paul called, "Ebony and Ivory". Another cool song.
On of the best albums ever in Rock Music, Songs in the key of life and this was my favorite song on that unique record in 1977 ! Stevie Wonder, I loved each song he performed !!
Yes! I recall being in middle school when this came out, and while it did get some airplay (enough to stick in my head), it wasn't as popular as most of the others at the time, so it quickly faded from rotation. Because I never knew the title, I wondered years later - was it something I somehow just dreamed up in my head? It took until the advent of RUclips before I heard it again. The groove, the riff, just turning over and over upon itself.. I went out and bought a copy of the album right then (though I should have years before). Thank you for reacting to this.
Strange as a thing to say as I know this is, as someone who loves music beyond words to even describe it, seeing how much you loved this kinda made me fall for you a little bit 🥰
A song from Songs In The Key Of Life 1976 One of the best albums ever! My favorite all time song by Stevie is Another Star from this very album Let me suggest 2 songs by 2 female artists The 1st is by Ofra Haza singing Yerushalayim Shel Zahav She was from Israel and is no longer alive 2nd by Lara Fabian from Belgium, but sings in multiple languages, my favorite by her is Caruso! Listen privately if you'd like Ciao!
I subscribed to your channel because you have songs like this. When I was young I bought the Hotter Than July album, my favorite song on that one is "Rocket Love".
Take it from me. I'm a seasoned musician of twenty plus years. Stevie Wonder is the greatest musician of all time.
This song is one of many examples of why Prince was inspired and admired Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder is a "National Treasure," he's an absolute iconic songwriter and musical genius!!! There's only 1 Stevie and there will never, ever be another one!!! The album this song "AS" is from: "Songs In The Key Of Life" is a masterpiece and considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time!!! Mic Drop!!!
International treasure*
From a Frenchie who was raised with Stevie's music. And Stevie has explored a lot of different music around the Earth.
@@chucku00 Yes, indeed "International Treasure," my apologies...Please forgive my selfish nationalism...LOL!!! I can certainly receive & accept constructive criticism, Stevie belongs to the entire world!!!
My all time favourite album!
Well said 👏👏👏
The “until” parts are things that are impossible; signifying that it’s impossible for his love for this person to end
Thanks for sharing that Dawn it makes sense now lol.
The greatest American singer/songwriter/musician. This is his best album and when it came out, they’d release one hit after another. It took two years and over 100 musicians. It is possibly the greatest recording of all time.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Try reading the lyrics on paper and get tongue-tied very quickly. Can you think of a more uplifting musical artist than Stevie Wonder? He is one of the true geniuses on earth's plane.
The first thing he says in the song is AS….lol
@@primeminister66 El correcto.
Not more uplifting but Bob Marley does come to mind as equally uplifting ☺️
This is me and my mom's song 💖 I'm crying right now..in a good way tho
I'd go as far as to say that this may be the greatest song of all time. The level of love that he is expressing seems incomprehensible and that's what he tries to elude to with the lyrics of impossible comparisons. It's as if he goes beyond the human perspective of love and into a spiritual point of view.
There weren't many artists who dominated the '70's so consistantly, with such incredible music.
I agree with my fellow commenter. Stevie Wonder is a National Treasure! He's a genius. He's my all-time favorite artist. His writing is excellent. Very deep poetic lyrics. He sees everything vividly without physical sight! He composes and arranges music perfectly. He's a multi-instrumentalist. And he's a good human. Really nice man. I cry everytime I hear this song. Good reaction! ❤️
His songs in the key of life is fire the whole album is jus great
For me it’s the best recordings ever made, so much skill and he gives everything in his writing and performances. Heard him live twice now and believe him to be true genius.
This song has absolutely NOTHING wrong in it's delivery, message, or the soul behind Stevie's wonderful and breathtaking sound.
Quite simply, one of the best musical pieces ever written
The definitions of his lyrics is unparalleled
Probably my favorite love song of all. "Aint that lovin' you!?"
As soon as the opening notes come in we are hooked such quality music.
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Stevie is a musical genius.
If I ever get married, this will be what me and my future wife either dance to or have everyone come to the dance floor to dance to...
I’m getting married in August. This is our first dance song. I cannot understand why it is not more commonly used. I don’t think there is a more beautiful expression to your life partner than stevie’s declarations in this song! Also, talk about getting the party started…!
The deepest lyrics. The song still gives me chills.
Chills! Its a reflection to me of Jesus's Love for for His Elect, His Chosen. He loves the world enough to die for them and call them to repentance, He loves How own infinitely - to the end and the beginning of Eternal Life! He makes us ONE with Him - Always!
Listen to the level of imagery in the lyrics…. then tell yourself that the writer is blind. That’s how good he is.
Seeing Stevie in concert was on my bucket list. I finally got my chance at The New Orleans Jazz Festival in 2016. I will forever remember that beautiful concert! Stevie is such a 💎! 🙏🏾❤️💐🎹🎼🎤
Stevie was the last person to perform at Aretha Franklin's funeral and dedicated this song to his long-time Detroit friend.
No one can write a song that combines pop,jazz,gospel, R&B and rock
Stevie Wonder "Hold my beer"
From one of the greatest albums of all time ❤️ My favourite track on the album is " Another Star " that will have you dancing ❤️❤️❤️
One of the greatest albums ever
One of the best double albums of all time!
It’s “Master Blaster, Jammin! I think, that’s 1 of my favorite Stevie Wonder, songs too! But, I love that 1 too! It’s so hard cause he’s just, Genius!!! Stevie has it all! Much love, again! Oh! My favorite group of all times, besides, Smokey Robinson, is The Dramatics!!! Love!!! To you!!!
Incredible song and album!
It took Stevie Wonder two years to make SITKOL. Let that process and then think about how music today is made in 20 minutes.
This is probably my favorite Stevie Wonder song.
From his earliest performances at age 13, Stevie Wonder has been one of the most versatile talented musicians ever!
Songs in the key of life: you need to listen to this album before you start the rest of your life. The master’s masterpiece.
Second watch and all I can say is OMG you are a beautiful woman and person that’s so freakin endearing it’s impossible not to love you 🥰 Many blessings, sister ☺️
My favorite song by him. Excellent choice
I've said this on other SW reaction videos, and I'll say it again. The 3 hours that I saw him perform this entire album live-start to finish- were 3 of the most amazing hours of my life.
I was at the Target Center back in 2015-2016 when he did this album set. It was packed for a Sunday night!!!
I too was a witness to that man and his concert experience. Hands down THE best concert and musical experience i've ever been to...Stevie is Amazing
Songs like this will never grow old.This is my all time favourite from Stevie .
This is arguably the greatest Album ever produced by the one and only Stevie who definitely is a Wonder
This is a absolutely classic stevie wonder song at his best love it, can I just compliment how gorgeous you are looking beautiful and another great reaction ❤

"THE SUPREME MASTER OF MUSICALITY". Back in the day while I was at UCLA during my undergraduate and graduate educations, I had to have all of Stevie Wonders albums, but in all honesty "Songs In The Key Of Life" is my all time favorite album of his!!!!!!
"I'll be loving you always!"
Hi Angela, I liked your reaction to the this song.
This double album is his masterpiece. Try "Isn't She Lovely" joyous and beautiful.
I've seen the studio version of this song he has his first baby's mother Yolanda Simmons singing backup vocals on this particular on the studio version if you can check it out❤
Stevie Wonder wow what can I say AS is a mater piece I have never heard such a lyric of conviction and so meaningful and soulful great song I loved your reaction great job.
Stevie is a treasure. You are a keeper,!😉🤭🤗
Yes, this is definitely one of my favorites. I keep thinking the name of this song is always. I never think AS.
Pure wonderment. Never get tired of Stevie. I love this music.
This song, among all album, is a real timeless, priceless and smashing era of that marvelous black north american music Motown recordings.

Your face at 5:41! "Change your words into truth. And then change that truth into love."
This is a wonderfully life affirming song (Stevie had a knack for that) from a wonderfully life affirming album. It leaves you speechless and with that smile plastered on your face at the same time. Then when he kicks with that gospel voice, to quote another song from the album-'Knocks me off my feet'. Oh, that song you were humming at the beginning is 'Master Blaster' (Jammin), his homage to Bob Marley. Great, great suggestion.
That was Master Blaster.
"I wish I could play an instrument..." Played a couple earlier in life and now at 73 have started with a new one (guitar.... it's hard!) to keep my hands and mind moving!!! Do it now!!!

One of the Greatest Love Songs Ever Made!!!!!!
My favorite SW song from my favorite SW album. Great reaction.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. For those who haven't found out yet, Stevie is a musical genius, a national treasure, and all-around great human.
This is an iconic album by Stevie. My two favorite Stevie Wonder songs are My Cherie Amor and Ribbons in the Sky. You might want to check them out also.

I'm done. I loved SW. Played this album to death. Thanks for the memory.

Stevie delivers a double meaning in this gem. In one perspective he's professing everlasting love for your significant other, but at the same time expressing God's infinite love for mankind.
Correction, Stevie expresses God's love for his chosen (12 tribes of Israel) Deuteronomy 7:6.

I,m so astounded by his talent.
I saw Stevie in 1973, warmed up the Rolling Stones! he was fabulous!
Please react to " overjoyed " by Stevie wonder. Please
Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Another one of those great albums that came out during the 70's where every single song is amazing. Chris
I love Stevie Wonder's music. "I was born to love her" is probably my favorite song by him. He also performed with Paul McCartney in a song written by Paul called, "Ebony and Ivory". Another cool song.
The Herbie Hancock piano always makes me smile
My boy Stevie Be flipping furniture in the studio 🎙
A true musical treasure ❤❤
Fabulous song from an Excellent album! 🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦
Tough song for me to listen too!! 😪 so beautiful
On of the best albums ever in Rock Music, Songs in the key of life and this was my favorite song on that unique record in 1977 ! Stevie Wonder, I loved each song he performed !!
No joke. This song makes you make that face. You know the one.

You should go on a Steve Wonder reaction binge, he has so many great songs 🎵

I am so damn glad I got to be alive the same time as Stevie Wonder.
Masterpiece!
If this won't get your body moving , then you better check for a pulse! Steveb is correct you are gorgeous.
It gets your mind body and soul moving...
One of many from this classic album. Love your hair. You got me want to hear Jamming.
I subscribed to your channel because you have songs like this. When I was young I bought the Hotter Than July album, my favorite song on that one is "Rocket Love".
I love this song. This album is easily top 5 on my Desert Island album list. So beautiful.
Stevie Wonder is the GOAT
Look at the back of the vinyl album cover and you can see the names of Stevie's friends who came over to his house just to "Sing some songs"!
As is a revolution.
A Classic from a Classic album. In The Netherlands almost everyone I knew had this.
Thanks for your reaction.
What a great tune!!! I was sixteen when this came out!!
Such a great song
Love! Love! Loved it!
I had Songs In The Key Of Life on 8-track tapes back in high school and wore them out. Amazing album.
Great choice!! Songs in the Key was phenomenal. He toured this album again in 2014-15 and I was lucky enough to get tickets for New Orleans.
I was at the Target Center back in 2015-2016 when he did this album set. It was packed for a Sunday night!!!
