- IN 1966 A 16 YEAR OLD STEVIE WONDER WROTE "ALL I DO" FOR MOTOWN SENSATION TAMMI TERRELL. AFTER HER UNTIMELY DEATH IN 1970, STEVIE RECORDED THE SONG HIMSELF AND MADE IT AN EVEN BIGGER HIT.

Yes, Tammi’s version is addictive.
I agree Ihad an original
tammi's rendition is probably my favourite song of all time. romantic and tragic at the same time, dark and beautiful.
This song makes the sun shine inside me on grey day in South East London always. Beautiful.
Yes bro
This song becomes addictive.....
MY GIRL GONE TO SOON SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LADY I LOVE TAMMI
The most amazing thing about this is that this was written by Stevie was he was sixteen. When I was sixteen, I was just a stupid kid while Stevie was writing songs that people would be listening to nearly 50 years into the future on some site called "RUclips" and people will continue to listen to forever.(long after RUclips is gone) What a genius.
She was unique.
TAMMI AND MARVIN WERE A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE.I BELIEVE THEY WERE IN LOVE.R.I.P.BOTH OF YOU
Another classic gem straight from the vault. Tammi Terrell, god bless her soul, was a terrific and talented singer, gone before her time. She left us with this classic, which, I hate to say, sounds just as good, if not better than Stevie's version.
Motown lives!
Rest in Peace Tammi Terrell. Heaven must have sent you from above. Thank you Steve for writing such a fantastic piece. Much respect to the collaborators, and of course the Funk Brothers, esp. those who've departed us. Thank you Mr. Gordy.
What blows my mind that a teenage kid (Lil Stevie Wonder) wrote this....What kid has so much lyrical depth?
+Rodney Davis Stevie Wonder is the greatest songwriter of our time and he lets you feel his song in its entirely when he sings it. Stevie would sometimes write songs for other artist e.g. "Until You Come Back To Me" for Aretha Franklin.
I love this song more than yesterday. RIP Tammi..
:-)
and God given talent!!! He was blind! played every instrument berry Gordy handed him! Unreal!!! His mom was a big influence!!! I just always loved him from fingertips and I was Born to love her....till now!! He is the BEST!
To be fair, he didn't provide the "lyrical depth." That was Clarence Paul & Morris Broadnax, his co-composers who, like fellow Motown songwriter Sylvia Moy, usually wrote the lyrics to his melodies. After 1970 the lyrics were written by Syreeta Wright. Stevie Wonder didn't start writing his own lyrics without assistance till 1972 with Music of Mind.
he had help: Morris Broadnax, Stevie Wonder, Clarence Paul
no denying stevie's genius - and, admittedly, stevie's version has over three times as many plays as tammi's on my itunes - but i'm still struck by the the powerful and dark mood tammi brings to the song every single time i listen to it.
Wow...I didn't know this song was actually recorded by Tammi in the 60's...this is blowing my mind.
Classic Tammi and Stevie!!!
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Tammi Terrell and I love her voice. Knowing her story and hearing that sweet voice can bring tears to my eyes. She lives on in my heart and I would love to have seen her in concert. Stevie W, what a legend to write a song like that aged 16.
Tammi gone too soon 46 years today but never forgotten. What a gifted singer you were. What a good songwriter you are Stevie Wonder and singer too!
The "Tammie" will never be forgotten. KMC
💖💖
Damn I did not know this was the original, the rendition is phenomenal from Stevie..
WHAT THE... ? I had no idea this song was first recorded in the 60s. Good Lord, I thought I knew practically everything about Motown. I'm really happy that I don't!
#StevieWonderisamusicalgenius
WOW!!! -- Tammi's version is amazing.
Love Tammy Terrell, Her and Marvin made such beautiful music.
WOW, never knew she sang it before Stevie. This version is sooo unique, both are great. Stevie's is still my favorite but this one has some serious musical dynamics going on...GREAT WORK MOTOWN
Never knew that. 16 years old?? My god what a fabulous talent this man is 👏👏👏🥂🥂🥂❤️❤️❤️❤️
How does a 16 year old know so much about love?
@@gchard exactly!! 💘
He also wrote Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever for the Four Tops when he was 16. Also penned Until You Come Back That's What I'm Gonna Do about the same age. Aretha Franklin had a huge hit with it around '73 or '74.
@@stevenhobin fabulous talent indeed. He's my ultimate favourite singer ever since I was 7...🥂❤️👏🎊
Our talents starts when we are young and parks at about 30- I think.
VERY NICE. THE WOMAN HAD A SPECIAL SOMETHING SOMETHING. SHE MOVED YOUR SOUL WHEN SHE SANG.
loveyouall66 - She had me when she sang: “and let me tell ya boy”.
Tammi - I love you "WOW" a great version - a beautiful person and voice!
Both versions are fantastic stevie wonder is pure genius he should go down in history as one the greatest musicians of all time!
oh wow, i always knew Stevie wrote this song back in the sixties but I never knew he wrote it for ms. Terrell
All I DO .... LOVE THIS ALBUM since 1980 ! Still LOVE ! WILL LOVE until my last minute of living in this dimension of life ! ! !
STEVIE WE LOVE YOU !
RIP MS TAMMY TERRELL!
MISSING YOU.
there is an aggression brought to this song by Stevie that is great.
wat an amazing era of music..so many legends working together at once..happy birthday today Michael RIP &tammi too..
tami was verry talented..wish she could of lived on
A history about one of my very favorite Stevie Wonder tunes that I was unaware of until recently.
Thomasina Winifred Montgomery, I was blessed to have been alive at the same time with her and Marvin and Stevie too!
love this song she was so beautiful.R.I.P.TAMMIE AND YOUR LOVE MARVIN GAYE
Stevie was only 16 when he composed this... and others like "Uptight", "Hey love", "i was made to love her" or "the tears of a clown".... pure genius !
Stevie Wonder was and still is a charismatic, ex child prodigy. He's truly blessed with multi-musical instrument playing and songwriting skills. And has musical prowess and talent. A genius from an early age. Something he's always in interviews shown to have a strong faith in. And at the time he wrote it, he'd worked hard with the excellent in-house song writing team(s) at Tamla Motown.
Tammy such a beautiful woman did not deserve what she went through, Today, Radio stations would've been playing classical hits from the 70s and 80s if she was alive then coz she went on recording and performing until she was too ill, but her legacy lives on
This has been one of my favorite songs that Stevie ever recorded. But, WOW!! the Tammi Terrell version is soooo touching. Even though the Stevie Wonder version is uptempo, there is still a poignancy to the song. It is captured so faithfully in the Tammi Terrell version. Fantastic song!
I recently viewed her story on Unsung... Too bad, all that she had to go through in her very short life, professionally and personally, and that she had never found true love.
Motown God's and Godess's of the greatest music ever played,written and sung. Heaven must be having a blast.
One of my favorite song of all time. It put in a beautiful mood.
She had such a beautiful voice
man...im only 22...AND I LOVE TAMMI TERRELL...the way she sings 'all i can do is think about you' really hits me each time i hear it...
I love Tammy's version ❤
Stevie's version jumps right off the vinyl at you!
stevie is more than a musician, he's a musical instrument
didn't know Stevie had written this song for Tammy T. He had a big hit with it himself years later. I first know of Tammy because of duets with Marvin Gaye.
I'm from México. I heard this song at NC and nobody knew its name. Now I heard again. Very nice and great song.
Stevie is just a talented man u are born with certain genes that some sixteen year old don't or even no the first thing about love just the times are changing there will one day be a stevie and tammy
This Tammi Terrell woman was something else ... deeply talented ... David Ruffin and Marvin Gaye were enthralled by her ... and so are the rest of us.

Wow, does anyone think it is weird that I am 13 and don't like any of the music today and love motown music? Like, I wish I was 13 back then!
All this time, I realized that this song was done by Stevie Wonder, is actually a cover version of the late Thomasina Terrell song. TIMELESS CLASSIC!!
I remember Tammy Terrell
he was only 16 and wrote this song!!!! no wonder he became stevie wonder!!!
wow you just dont see or hear anythin as beautiful anymore and those duets and pics taken with marvin wow beautiful people thats all i can say
She reminds me of Billie Holiday in the sense that her singing is so hopeful with a touch of sadness..
i liked Tammi's version but at 2:57 is when i almost started to cry, every time stevie's version comes on it hits me in my musical soul and makes me want to cry
Thank you for sharing this wonderful song. I only knew the Stevie Wonder version. So grateful that you shared this with us.
Welcome
Brilliant 👏
Great song! Musicologists have noted in biographies on Stevie that he uses unusual key signatures in his music.
Yup. That''s an all star cast of singers there. Sure, it was a hit, but this song should've dominated the charts.
Angelic Tammi
It really is amazing that "All I Do" song by Tammi Terrell has a slower tempo and the lyrics are heard better than Stevie Wonder's " All I Do" in which has a faster tempo. I enjoy hearing Michael Jackson sing in the background vocals giving the song an extra charm!
i love her version waay better, it's a hidden treasure
It was Michael, Eddie Levert, and Walter Williams from the Ojays on background.
Okay, Michael sounds pretty darn cute in the background. Never knew he was on the track, but now that you've shared that fact, it's undeniable. I love the contrast of his lighter, high tone with the much deeper O'Jays. A nice blend.
And I agree with everyone else's general consensus regarding Tammi's version. It definitely has a hauntingly beautiful tone to it. I like the two drastically different interpretations of this song.
Didn't MJ do background vocals on this as well as Stevie's version?
@@williamj.dovejr.8613 no just stevie's.
Stevie wrote this wonderful song though. Without Stevie's great musical brain, Tammi's version would not even exist. To me the fact that Stevie wrote it as a teenager is amazing - A true musical genius.
I love this funky version. Impossible to not get on down to that groove. Bloody fanbulazin.Gem

i always thought Stevie wrote this song for someone else back in the day, my first time hearing the original version, thanks for posting
Never knew she recorded this. Truly a gem.
This is truly fascinating stuff. "All I Do" has long been one of my favorite Stevie Wonder compositions........I HAD NO CLUE it was originally written for Tammi Terrell. Just how far does Stevie's genius go back anyway? My guess.....the day he was born.
One learns something new every day! there aren't many geniuses in our world. stevie, however, defintely qualifies as a true musical genius - was so far ahead of his peers in his writing and tune-crafting.....
Elegant.
Tammi DID make it big. If you've heard "Ain't No Mountain", or "You're All I Need to Get By" or many other Marvin Gaye duets you've heard Tammi's work. She was widely regarded as beautiful and talented. If you mention Marvin , many people will think of Tammi.
My buddy, a music historian, told me that Stevie wrote this in the 60s but I had no idea Tammi sang it. I thought Stevie sat on it like he did with 20 albums worth of songs. He could release an new album a month for the next 20 years.
Damn this song is that old??? Pure genius
I've never heard of Tammi Terrell, sound like should could have made it big.
It's amazing Stevie wrote that song we he was 16. How many people have that musical maturity and innovation at 16? none?
This makes me say, "God bless RUclips!" This is a blessing to know and to have heard. Wonderful, Stevie...Wow!
What a sweet song
Wonderful song ......if i ever get married 2 my russian this will be the first song at the reception. Gr8 lyrics , lovely voice , soulful , and meaningful
Todays songwriters sud listen 2 this choon and be inspired.......not subsitute 4 klass
I consider myself to be the biggest Stevie Wonder fan under 40 and I didn't know that he originally wrote this song for Tammi Terrell. And @ age 16?? INCREDIBLE! This is one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs and this discovery makes me love it even more. Tammi Terrell was an phenomenal talent that went too soon.
It did bring me to tears. I only knew the Stevie Version. Wow!
Thanks for sharing the story Gary, this has long been one of my favourite soul songs (both the Tammi and the Stevie version) but I never knew Stevie wrote it when he was 16!
I consider myself a GREAT Stevie Wonder fan and I've NEVER heard this before. I knew he wrote the song in 1966 but I never knew Tammi ever recorded it. Love the 60's vamp. That vamp turnd into an 80's dancefloor beat. Thanks for posting!!
i heard this version in a casino playing cards and since then it has had my ear since then. I really like Stevie wonders' version but i must say she brings so much more soul and realization to the lyrics and makes my think more about my past love with ex's. that's what i feel an artist should do for the listener, is evoke emotion, memories and feelings. After I read her bio her version takes me even more.
hi
i love this ,i sure wish i paid more attention when it hit. back in the city on hayes st in the1960s
tammi is a great special person, it is our loss that she is not producing here on earth at this time. we will have to catch up. when we get there, here now.

What a voice,I just discovered her two days ago.Her version is haunting and sad knowing that she died at such an early age.Rest in peace Tammy.
Thanks for the comment. I listened closely and I swear I think I hear MJ! Man, you're good.
I bought it from Amazon. Look for "A Cellarful Of Motown", Volume 1 (it's a 2-CD set). Tammi Terrell's version is the 9th song on the first CD.
wow!! live and learn, did not know she sang this song before Stevie Winder !!!
Maria
omg i hear mj..luv u mj.rip &tammi 2
This is all that's great about RUclips. Thanks uploader for posting this - I had no idea that "All I Do" was written for Tammi and that she even sang it. It's wonderful to know that at 46 I'm still learning new things every day.
OMG! I never knew that she recorded this first! Wow! So beautiful!
UNE DES PLUS GRANDES CHANSONS D AMOUR ETERNEL...
MAGICAL!
I hear this song first time on 1999, when I was living at NC, and ask several times if some body knows who sang this song, somebody told me That´s Kirk Whalum and Wendy Moten and I bought the cd so I hear the song but it was fine, but not the same voice.
Many years later here in my country México, I hear this song again and I surprised my self when I know was sang by Tammi Terrell and was wrote by Stevie Wonder.
what a fantastic version.
Wow...who knew that song was so old???
Interesting (on another note) that her voice is SOO distinct when she sings with Marv...but solo...I can hardly recognize her as Tammi . Anybody agree?
good singer.
i enjoyed it
Originally recorded by Tammi Terrell in 1966 though unreleased, this was shortly thereafter recorded by Brenda Holloway on March 24, 1966 and, again, put in the can. As everyone knows, this did not surface as a release until its author, Stevie Wonder (who was 16 when he wrote this with his mentor Clarence Paul and Morris Broadnax), recorded it himself on his "Hotter Than July" album in 1986. The Four Tops also recorded a version in 1981 - after they left Motown, on their "Tonight" album (more famous for the song "When She Was My Girl")! In my opinion, the best versions were the ones by Stevie and by Tammi Terrell.
my favorite tammi terrell record she was adorable, the early motown stars were just incredible, in a league of there own.
I believe that Marvin and Tammi were not romantically involved, but I really believe that he was in love with her.....it shows all over his face consistently in every photo.
This is amazing - a real find
Heaven, thank you for sharing :-)
