Stevie played all the piano and synth parts and the drums on every track (that have them). He doesn’t play guitar, so when not playing Moog bass, he’d have someone else play electric bass. Other than a few instrument overdubs from guest musicians, he played everything else. On all of his 70’s stuff.

DAVECHER, it is so good to realise that young people are discovering older music. I don’t want to appear as a curmudgeon, but the music of my youth is much better than today’s. The superstars, such as Adele, Sheeran etc hit the height of mediocrity at best. I don’t want to hear Taylor Swift singing nursery rhyme tunes either…

Your casual reference to Ray Parker Jr... Who you gonna call? 😉
Loved this and enjoyed relistening to it with you. Do another Stevie Wonder reaction. Btw - don’t sing along too much 😉
Music of My Mind and Innervisions are just as good as this album.
DAVECHER, it is so good to realise that young people are discovering older music. I don’t want to appear as a curmudgeon, but the music of my youth is much better than today’s. The superstars, such as Adele, Sheeran etc hit the height of mediocrity at best. I don’t want to hear Taylor Swift singing nursery rhyme tunes either…
Will you react to some Jazz music at some point?
you gotta react to new editions self titled album from 1984, really smooth and fun listen
Still waiting the POP2 Charli XCX REACTION
Do jimi hendrix!
