There's a reason why Diana and Stevie was among Motown's elite. It was not accidental at all. At the end of the day these are REAL, TRUE vocalists. Listen to how they sing so effortlessly.
I was a little boy when this came out on TV, and already at this point Stevie Wonder was and still is my favorite singer, well over 50 years later. And the incomparable Miss Diana Ross, yes she was gorgeous and still is and she is still the boss. I loved the music at this time in R&B history. So clean, so creative, such good singing.
When Diana did this with The Temptations, it was like she was singing with an all-time great team. With Stevie, she sang with an all time great individual. The Temp version is classic. This version is once in a lifetime.
+matman8540 Stevie nearly outdid Eddie Kendricks if that was even possible and I like that version as well....but Stevie can take a song and make it even better once he begins his vocals.
This is an AMAZING video!! Two musical prodigies of their time building off of each others performance.. and compared to today, SO NOT FAKE! They look like they are genuinely having a good time together performing.
RE Stevie Wonder and "creating the most powerfull and fantastic songs," one might say the same about the team of Holland, Dozier, Holland, Barry Gordy and Diana Ross. Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross are without a doubt two of the greatest popular music performers of the 20th Century. Thank you for sharing this video
Why is that relevant? Why are all videos of great old music filled with sanctimonious comments denigrating all modern music, as if it's all the same. Step outside of the Top 40 and experience incredible lesser-known musicians doing stunning work today.
This is one of my favorite videos I found. 2 icons. Never knew Stevie looked so smooth when he was young. Plays multiple instruments, His tiny little noises and vocal sounds he makes during the song, his timing is genius. Their performance is organic, like they are really enjoying each other. 😊
@@buckwildproductions7354 so lucky for him that he was blind, as that would have completely ruined it for him; he would have been too horrified to even remember what Diane Ernestine's voice sounded like.
You can see the smile on Stevie's face when sings this song. For him as it is for us, pure joy. I don't believe Stevie's blindness has handicapped him. He has been able to use his imagination and creativity to create his musical vision. A pure genius, optimist, and beautiful person. Thank you Stevie Wonder.
here you see two performers building on each others performance as it happens, self respect and respect for the artform and the opportunity to share their version with others....joy joy joy....thank you for sharing
Stevie is a living genius. Someone stated that 200 years from now that he would be remembered along with Mozart and Brahms and I definitely agree. You had the opportunity to witness his greatness.
Just this small performance from stevie wonder ..shows that he was a musical genius his voice and timing with Diana and his riffing in between her versus an absolute musical genius.....when he hit that high note I got goosebumps
David vack another loser hoping Florence may come back. She was fat and had a mediocre voice, that’s why Diana got rid of her. Marie Wilton was just as bad.
me too (Goosebumps)...I read your comment and about 3 seconds later Stevie hit the first chorus...as I am typing this Diana is getting to her chorus and goosebumps again!
What a treat it is to hear these two legends perform this classic song. It was wonderful when Ms. Ross & the Supremes did it with the Temptations & it's just as good here.
I've always loved her, she was a class act and so was Stevie. I'm from Motown and grew up listening to them day and night. They don't make music like this any more!
Stevie...my DUDE, right there...every time I see this video: it's given me a joyful heart, and chills. Sheer musical genius, and: excellent duet, indeed...
How is it even possible someone could dislike this music. Surely, their computer mouse must've been low on batteries and jumped to the 'thumb's down' button, when in fact they were trying to click on 'thumb's up'.
like in a walk in the park he breaks into a classic with another legend.. then the harmonica and then waltzes over to the keys for another round ,...amazing the talent that was required back then.
OMG I know that's right this beautiful classic just moves your soul in the right direction do you agree Lara? A blast from the past timeless indeed! ! MEMORIES WOW! ! ! ! !
Stevie's remarkable sense of phrasing and tone in his vocals lets him take over any song and make it his. Diana sings it like she did on the recording but Stevie hardly goes by the standard set by the Temptations, which made every performance of his an adventure where you didn't know what to expect. What a genius, not just with singing too obviously.
Wow...these kids were really young and talented, where does the time go??? They're still two of the Worlds Greatest Legends til' this day, you go Ms. Diana & Mr. Stevie!!
If her voice gives u the chills, then someone of a Phyllis Hyman caliber must give u the hives, the chills AND the runs. That Phyllis Hyman has the most beautiful female voice I've ever heard
@@beyourself2444 I was never really familiar with Sara Vaughan's singing But apparently she was a pretty unique and rare singer. Chaka Khan was a great singer but I wasn't really into Chaka Khan's music. Plus she hollered alot. Her hollering sounded beautiful at times, but there were many instances where her hollering just didn't appeal to me at all. I loved Dionne's style of singing and the sound of her voice and so many of her songs.
@@beyourself2444 I liked Aretha's voice (usually) and alot of her songs but she often made these hollas that didn't sound nice at all to me. And that Patti LaBelle does some phenomenal high notes but she screeches too much for me, making some of the ugliest sounds known man (or woman or tranny or UFO). With all that over singing and showboating that she does. Now I don't often condone violence but why can't someone (for just once) run up on that stage and just haul off and SLAP that Patti. I know that's mean cuz Patti has a beautiful spirit but still someone should just SLAP that woman when she's onstage doing that stuff (though her fans seem to LOVE it).
Im a guy im only 18 but yet im obsessed with Mowtown! My parents have always played it thats probably why I just can't get enough :D Such happy care free music, puts me in such a gooooood mood. I also think Diana Ross is rather beautiful & not just her voice.
i challenge anyone to not have a huge smile on their face. Stevie's vocal arrangements are always unexpected, majestic, and appear so effortless. Someone below posted he moment when he "bent" the melody -- iit's an unexpected tone, chosen with a virtuosity is all the more mind-blowing when coupled w his laid-back physical style like wise after his harmonica break -- he picks up the harmony on THE SAME BREATH. He takes risks that you only realize were dangerous when a trained ear points it out. Then you think about it, and it's just amazing!

Diana Ross has sung with every star imaginable. She's the truest legend of all time.
That's so true I'm glad you realize that and to all the haters tell them to go sit down somewhere unless they can do better thank you for your comment
dionne warwick up there also
@@dennismcelholme3290 she never sung with Beyoncé
@James Hodson World Cup? Lol. If so, she's managed to make appearance legendary too. I'm ok with it....Diana is always GAME 😉☺️👍
She's also likely slept with every star imaginable
Stevie does things vocally that are absolutely amazing! His timing and placement is perfection never too much nor to little.
There's a reason why Diana and Stevie was among Motown's elite. It was not accidental at all. At the end of the day these are REAL, TRUE vocalists. Listen to how they sing so effortlessly.
Stevie’s caliber is far beyond just Motown or even USA
I cant even put into words what I just witnessed...That was beautiful!!
I wish Soul music was still like this.
Stevie's first vocal part, up to the 1:30 mark, may have been one of the most perfectly, recorded vocals pieces in the history of humankind.
The real Stevie is wonderful ❤😊
No fr....I was like blow away with his delivery

Y’all Diana is so dope! Such a legend. I mean they both are, but Diana has helped so many of the greats as we know them today! Go Diana!
stevie's talent is staggering
Incredible!!!!
Diana was 25 years old and Stevie Wonder 19 years old when this was aired in 1969.
Adam Glennane awesome
Adam Glennane wow
And even back then....Stevie easily held his own.
Damm 51 yrs ago Diana today 75 Stevie will be 70 this yr nothing but history in music
N I was just born in 69. Born into and at a great point in music!!!!
The way Diana hits that note in "I'm gonna make u love me!" Gives me goosebumps!
Gives me goosebumps too.
This is an AMAZING video!! Two musical prodigies of their time building off of each others performance.. and compared to today, SO NOT FAKE! They look like they are genuinely having a good time together performing.
Stevie's the real deal. Doesn't get much better than this! Diana and he singing this song was a marriage made in the stars!
Solid Gold. After 50 years, this performance still gives me chills and mucho, mucho smiles.
Diana's voice was made 2 sing those words I'm Gonna Make You Love Me.
So natural so perfect so Diana so supreme.
Stevie is just so heart warming!!!!! There will never be another musician like this one!

This is my first time hearing this song with these two icons. Their voices are so beautiful together. 💕 💞
Oh man, REAL SINGING, MUSIC. And Mr. Stevie and Ms. Diana are so beautiful. Awwwwwee sing the song lovely people.
Check out Stevie's incredible ability to improvise and embellish any song...Just FABULOUS. I can't stop playing this one.
Wow. Young Stevie was fire! I wish they had recorded this in the studio.

That's why she is the BOSS.
I have heard Stevie say he fell in love with her the moment her heard her voice! Smart man! lol
@@buckwildproductions7354 so lucky for him that he was blind, as that would have completely ruined it for him; he would have been too horrified to even remember what Diane Ernestine's voice sounded like.
Diana's hair is awesome here and really suits her. The performance is also awesome.
Once the sisters found, discovered , developed the beutiful hair options they become the most beautiful females in the world.
Jeeeeeeasus! Two young masters playing with beauty, power, and love
She's the best live performer who's ever lived, male or female. No one has ever had what she has. Ever.
beautiful, beautiful, amazing... so lovely performance Diana and Stevie, that's what I call a perfect duet.
Fantastic video, great performance from the pair of them & obviously great chemistry between them both too!
OH - MY - GOD! Such a beautiful performance! That's AMAZING.

I felt that last kiss from Diana myself. She is a Queen Forever and Always in my book!
Diana sang so effortlessly. its crazy
beautiful, you can see they adore each other xx

It's amazing how Diana Ross' speaking voice is as smooth as her singing one.

I could watch this over and over and over. Diana is such a little flirt-no wonder everyone was crazy in love with her.

In love with her? Did you see the way she slither up to him. Remininscent of a relative of hers. Alledgedly.

This is just perfection....and you can tell, there are definitely vibes between them😏
That was beautiful to watch! Thank you for the post!
Wow! The first time I have seen this SUPER CLASSIC of Diana Ross & Stevie Wonder just right for Valentine day! To send to a very special someone!
He made this song a THOUSAND TIMES Better!!!!!!! MY Goodness what a tremendous talent. And yes of course Mrs Diana Ross!!!!
You done lost your damn foolish mind.
What a treat it is to hear these two legends perform this classic song. It was wonderful when Ms. Ross & the Supremes did it with the Temptations & it's just as good here.
Stevie was so handsome too! Nice duet! 😍
I love to see those two great singers together. Singing from the heart; it seems like today that doesn't happen anymore. Thank you for sharing Susie.
It's always special when musical icons of this caliber come together.
There aren't enough words to describe my love for this video. Sooooo good.
