As always thank you to our patron Barry for setting all of these Spotlight videos up! You rock my brother. This deep dive into Mr. Wonder has been eye opening. The first track we listen to in this video is my new favorite SW track, hands down. I've never heard him get that experimental... So good.

I’m so glad Stevie is getting the exposure and appreciation from yet generation. His run of albums in the early 1970s is legendary. He has influenced so many.

@mikerichards67 Ай бұрын

Here’s the thing when you say that you have a favorite Stevie song and then you listen to the next song and you say no that’s my favorite song. There’s a never ending favorite song. We all should count our blessings that we had the opportunity to live on this planet at the same time as this musical genius! When a person looks up musical genius there’s a picture of Mr. Stevie Wonder,and what a perfect name Wonder,because he is an absolute wonder!!!

Stevie is a master's master. He is my all-time-favorite musician/singer/songwriter/performer and all-around great and beautiful person. I saw him in concert a few years ago and it was absolutely a spiritual experience. And Nathan Watts is an incredible bassist.

I heard Superwoman around 1975 or so... That synth/Rhodes section at 5.20 is basically Stevie inventing how synths will be used in RnB for decades to come... still one of my favourite pieces of music ever 50 years later...

Thanks man. "Superwoman (where were you)" is one of my top 10 faves from Stevie, a song that few if any have ever reacted to. Ultimately I hope you get to every one of my favorite songs by Stevie. I'll really love it when you get to "All I Do", "Overjoyed" and "That Girl".

Fabulous music!! There's nobody like Stevie, a singular genius songwriter, musician, human. 'Where Were You...' is a personal fave too. Of course it's nigh on impossible to choose from such a mind-blowing body of work. RHCP and Eric Clapton have both covered 'Higher Ground'. No doubt loads of others. Not one I've picked up yet. Love the irresistible groove of 'I Wish', killer bass line, immediate radio earworm back in the day. And that slinky horn line?! Makes ya wanna move. 💃🏻🕺🏽 😊🤙🏼🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊

So good. This takes me back to the days when you bought the best stereo equipment you could afford, grabbed a cool beverage, sat in a comfortable chair and just listened to some great music. While you’re listening you could look at the album art, read the credits and the lyrics if available. Music has changed because listeners have changed.

I feel this was the album (Music Of My Mind) that transformed Stevie from a brilliant pop/R@B performer into one of the most important recording artists.

@justjack0715 Ай бұрын

Man! Does it get any better than "I Wish?"

@dandare42 Ай бұрын

Fade outs in the old days were to cut short the song enough to be fit for a single but they aren't always so bad. In the 70s and beyond, it's usually because the studio recording was from a take that didn't resolve itself/end properly and needed to be faded out before reaching that point. Less of a problem was a song that didn't start in an obvious place so hence we sometimes get a fade-in.

@lathedauphinot6820 Ай бұрын

Stevie was huge in the ‘70s for very good reason. In 1972 he opened for The Rolling Stones on their North American tour, and both bands played Uptight / Satisfaction together to close the show. Greatness. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8t5n5uQqMeRaWQ.htmlsi=SC9FwAffQ7g52XGv

Love is in need of love today. And Pastime Paradise shows why Coolio had no power over Gangsters paradise. Everyone needs that Key of Life. As a person who has played the horn part of Sir Duke, I can say the sheet music intimidated me more than any classic music.
