This has to be one of the most joyous songs ever written and recorded. And that slide whistle at the end of the second verse always brings a huge smile to my face.

Why isn't today's music this good? 😢

"Isnt She Lovely" wriiten by Stevie celebrating the birth of his daughter. Fabulous❤🎼

Stevie Wonder: * My Cherie Amore/ * Living For The City/ * Superstitions/ * Isn't She lovely. /*Signed, Sealed and Delivered/ * Part-time Lover........and many more. Referencing several jazz artists in this recording, check out: Louis Armstrong : *What A Wonderful World ( video live) Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald: * Summertime Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby: *Now you Has Jazz ( video from the movie, High Society) Duke Ellington was a jazz musician ( piano) and had his own band. This is probably Stevie's best album. Every song is a hit! I like how you take the time at the beginning of each reaction to get some info on the artist and song. It's refreshing to know you're not going in completely uninformed.👍

Stevie was called the 7th Wonder of the World for a reason. The fact that he was blind from birth made him a musical genius. I played Ribbons In The Sky at my wedding. It is a great Stevie Wonder song.

Can NEVER go wrong with Stevie! That whole album is 🔥

I remember when Songs In The Key of Life received multiple Grammy, including album of the year. It is one of the best albums ever. Stevie Wonder never disappoints. He has been performing since he was 11 years old. He really is a national treasure. Thanks for your great reaction. 👏👏🇨🇦

SIGNED SEALED DELIVERED is another awesome hit like this, from Little Stevie Wonder.

The whole album is fantastic. Stevie Wonder is one of God's gifts to humanity. Thanks for your reaction.

Must do, Higher Ground I wish Living for the City( extended version) Stevie has such an extensive catalogue. One of the most iconic performers, songwriters, musicians, humanitarian, of my generation, before and after

The theme song for life? That's because it's a song in the key of life.

Stevie has more soul in his little finger than other artists. If you notice almost no one covers Stevies songs because you can't improve on perfection!

Little Stevie Wonder started young and had his first #1 hit at 12 years old called "Fingertips". It has a Part 1 and Part 2. Both can be found here on KZfaq. Stevie Wonder is a multi-instrumentalist who writes and produces songs for himself and others. He plays the piano, synthesizer, chromatic harmonica, congas, drums, bongos, organ, melodica and Clavinet. He mastered the keyboard, bass, drums and harmonica before he was a teenager. I have been a fan since the 60's!

Every college marching band in the country was playing this in 1977. Football Saturday theme song!

Stevie always brings the genius to his music with ease because it just flows through his veins. A true master.

An American musical icon singing about other American musical icons! What a joyful tribute.

"This should be the theme song to life." A+ comment.

Yes that's right. Stevie is one of the greatest and most inventive singer and musician of all times. A master and a genius!

Music about loving music. This might be my favorite Stevie song. Another of my favorites is "Living For The City". If you do it, you have to do the longer album version. It's so much better than the radio edit.

At my house we call this “The Birthday Song”. On someone’s bday, we put it on and the whole family dances. Brings joy each time!

You must listen to the Entire album. It is one of the greatest albums of All Time.

In 1961 when Stevie Wonder was 11 years old Berry Gordy sign him to Motown Tamla Records and they changed his name to Little Stevie Wonder. His first hit with Motown was Fingertips. The first time he met Smokey Robinson, Smokey introduced himself and welcomed Stevie to Motown. He said to Stevie I hear you're a good singer and Stevie Wonder told him "yeah I'm better than you" in all seriousness. What would you expect from an 11 year old, right? Smokey Robinson just kind of laughed it off realizing that he was a young boy and young people speak their mind. He was probably right though. At that age already he could play several instruments and he had a set of pipes. He was Motown's Golden Boy for many decades

Music is a world within itself, With a language we all understand.

Give "Isn't she lovely" (a song about Stevie's first born child) a listen! A WONDERFUL song plus a TERRIFIC album!

I was 6 years old when this came out and I would lose my mind everytime it came on the radio. I had the 45 lol..... my all time fave song ❤

Stevie is in a league of his own. Never a bad song. If you enjoyed the horn section you need to hear Paul Simon " Late in the Evening"

“This should be the theme song to life” -SalvoG Do you realize this song was on the album titled “Songs in the Key of Life”?

Love this!! It never fails to bring a smile & joy to my heart. Stevie started out as a child prodigy at age 13. "Superstition" is another good one.

SalvoG, your joy in music is infectious. Thank you for all you share. ♡

"Master Blaster" is another great one by Stevie. But my favorite is "That Girl" 💃

One of Stevie’s most critically acclaimed song and album.

"Should be"? This _is_ the theme song to life, as far as I'm concerned. So much fun to see you discovering it.

Glad you decided to revisit Stevie again, he’s made so much great music.

you should give this whole album a listen through. it'll really show you what an amazing craftsmen he is.

Count Basie-pronounced BASE-EEE. This song is epic good.

Stevie's tribute to the musical greats.

Hands down my favorite song from Stevie because it it so upbeat and oh so true. Music is the soul of the universe and I listen to it every day because it makes me so happy.

We call so many artists geniuses but the term really applies to Stevie - he ruled the 70s and has a fantastic legacy . His slow songs are also beautiful

He wrote "Isn't She Lovely" about his daughter, who ironically has never seen. It's a beautiful song.

At the time of this release, synthesizers were being invented & newly used in music, SW was a big part of that. A major music critic complained about the new 'fake electronic trumpets' at the start of this song, ruining a perfectly good song. SW replied: the dozen trumpeters that spent months getting the opening 'just right', have invited the music critic to their baseball game. I'm pretty sure it was baseball. I know they all had bats.

GREAT song!!! Always one of my favorites by Stevie. FYI - it's the Count Basie (pronounced Bay-see) Orchestra that's known as 'the greatest band in the land.' With good reason, too. If you ever allow yourself the pleasure of jazz music, it's a group you'll love. To ease you into it, I'd say listen to Frank Sinatra sing Fly Me To The Moon backed by the Basie band. The song is from one of the best LPs in music history - It Might As Well Be Swing - a 1964 studio album by Frank Sinatra, accompanied by Count Basie and his orchestra. The recording of Fly Me to the Moon which appears on this album has become one of Sinatra's most popular. You'll LOVE the song, & as well as the entire LP. I do hope you'll give yourself that chance!!!

Give the Brothers Johnson a listen. Strawberry Letter 23. Stomp, I’ll be good to you, get the funk out ma face.

All his albums from the early mid-70s are the best, at least, to me! He also had some absolutely wonderful songs in the '60s, as well.❤🎉❤

Sir Duke is pure joy.

This is one of my favorite songs from childhood. I remember it always being on the radio. I was 5/6. Still is a favorite.

I was 9 years old when this was a hit. Great memories of the times.

I was a senior in high school when this came out - it was (and IS) such a happy happy song!! It has that really cool back in the day (as in the 20's, 30's and 40's) dance club sound. Yet, it STILL sounds so fresh and fun!! You can't help but smile when you hear this song.

LOVE this song and the best memory of it was when three of us went to Nag's Head, NC to go surfing and one guy, Buddy, caught a fair ride and he sang "You can feel it all O-o-over!!!" We just lost our minds laughing and this has always been a wonderfully joyous piece that paid homage to the greats that came before Stevie Wonder. EXCELLENT!!!

'Theme Song to Life' Perfect description. In the right key for sure. Now we need some Ella and Duke on your channel.

He is a once in a lifetime talent and a musical genius. This is also probably one of the top five albums of all time in my opinion

"This should be the theme song to life". Truer words were never spoken about Stevie Wonder.

That brass🎺 is unmatched!

One of the greatest albums in the history of albums.

What a magnificent time to be alive we had the BEST music ❤

He had a run of four albums in the ;70s, from Talking Book to Songs in the Key of Life, that is one of the most amazing streaks in pop music. Any one of those albums would be a crowning achievement in music, he had four in a row.

The whole album is pure joy, especially "As" (my favourite Stevie Wonder song).

This album is just pure genius

:D Click on that "live" version when you want to really smile at this song. *This* music and it's message is what I grew up with as a kid. That makes me one of the luckiest people ever. :)

Great album by a tremendous talent. Stevie truly is a Wonder.

He's definitely a world treasure, for me, right up there with Van Morrison and U2. So glad you're following up with him, he has tons of great great music!

Thanks so much, Salvo -- Stevie is such a genius... I love this, and it's in my "top three" for sure.. they others (if you care to know) are "I wish" and "Superstition".... appreciate your reactions...

Ribbon in the sky… absolutely beautiful.

The most unique voice in music. One of my fav songs.

Memories of driving around during high school listening to this on the 8-track in my car, The shear variety of styles in this amazing album is something to further explore with future reactions!

Stevie is pure joy.

Sir Duke - Isn't that song lovely? You should also check out Stevie Wonder's song "Isn't She Lovely?" - which I think is about a newborn daughter - maybe his own or something like that. Very cheerful and rolling song.

It was fun watching you enjoy this song. It's like watching a friend hear it for the first time. The whole album is amazing.

This song feels like the first time every time Incredible piece of songwriting

I know you enjoy the Eurythmucs, Stevie plays harmonica on their song There must be am angel. It's Ear Candy. I think you will love it!

I think you’d like Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie. Classic track

He played every instrument on this song!

I have had this song in life’s rotation since I was 9 :)

Count Basie is pronounced Bay-cee. He was a legendary bandleader. I met him and his orchestra's world-renowned crooner Joe Williams at a road concert in 1961 or '62. You should listen to their rendition of "Every Day I Have the Blues".

As soon as I saw what song this was, I knew you were going to be in for such a joyous ride. This is one of the most perfect songs ever performed.

Love your reaction. He was a genius. Generation bridger any day.

This is my go-to when I want to dance around the house, or while cleaning. Great car jam too

Its Stevie. Heard this in the appliance store made them put it on to test out a stereo. With Bose 901 speakers. 1975

There was so much excitement about this album coming out and how great it would be. We had so many great albums in the seventies. This is definitely near or at the top. You’ve played songs from several of these albums.

One of the all time greatest albums.

Any cut of that album is THE BEST

I have loved this song since I was about 13 play it really loud

Sax, my favorite instrument!

This is one of my favourite tunes, I spin that vinyl single a lot. There is a superb live version with the amazing musicians doin their best for Stevie. Also the message is so needed again now.

Songs in the key of life is one of the best albums ever produced, full of tracks that you will love reacting to I'm sure, lots of stuff you won't be able to keep still to As, Past Time paradise, I Wish and on a deeper laid back note, Village Ghetto Land is a real tear jerker. Loving your reaction style man.

Sooooooo happy! It's hard to pick a favorite Stevie Wonder song but this has always been mine. Thank you for this!

I learned this on the trumpet in jazz band in high school. And later it became popular for marching bands to play at halftime during football games. But once you learn that riff it is so so so satisfying to just let it rip. So fun. Check out one of his earlier hits that was on the radio constantly when I was in grade school and I loved it from the first time I ever heard it, Boogie on Reggae Woman. It's so funky and also really quirky at the same time and it's just so much fun.

More Stevie! More Stevie!!

Have I told you how much I enjoy your reactions?! NO?! I love your channel, and the joy you get in listening to the best in music.

Check out Stevie's and Paul McCartney's duo effort called "Ebony and Ivory". Great message for these times.

Ooh, I hope you make it to Signed, Sealed, Delivered - it’s so good!

Wonderful video for one of my favorite songs! Can’t not smile while listening 😀Perhaps check out some Louie Armstrong, Glen Miller, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and amazing Ella Fitzgerald! All fantastic icons of music honored by Stevie. Keep the music playing!

Ha ha...I wondered how you forgot Stevie Nicks too!! For the first time I noticed that the bass followed the melody of the horn section. Check out those legend mentioned in the song.

One of the coolest bass parts ever!

Was a trumpet player back in the day. This song is such a fun song to play!! 🎺

Knew you would love this. You should use this as a list of people you need to listen to.

Oh yes, this is one of the best 'feel good' songs (btw, there are so many but if you want to add another resonating, memorable voice to your list, please listen to a Chris Cornell cover of any song. My favorite is Patience (from Guns and Roses)

Please do a deeper Dive into his album Songs in the Key of Life. The album is a MASTERPIECE!!!!!! You might want to start with Isn't She Lovely.

"Sir Duke" is Stevie's tribute to Duke Ellington, the greatest jazz composer of all time. I'm guessing that you haven't reacted to much jazz yet. Duke Ellington would be a great place to start! Ella Fitzgerald (my favorite jazz vocalist) did a 3 volume set of Duke Ellington's Songbook in 1957. It includes many amazing songs like "Take The A Train", "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and "Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me". Also, the Count Basie (pronounced Bay-sea) Orchestra would also be a good intro to the best jazz has to offer. Enjoy! BTW, I was 12 when I saw the movie "Muscle Beach Party" introducing Little Stevie Wonder (age 14). He sang and played incredible harmonica. I remember being SO impressed!

You said it pure joy love you

Stevie Wonder- AS - Live in Studio - 1976 should be your next Stevie reaction!
