Wait a second....I requested this song and performance from Stevie!!!! I have the uncut version of this! This recording is from a session he did when i was an On-Air personality on HOT 92.3 at IheartRadio in LA...about 3 or 4 years ago!!!! This is literally my copy of it!!!! He was there doing a session for Stevie Wonder's House Full of Toys concert, and he asked for any requests. Nobody spoke up so I requested it saying, "Will you play 'I Can't Help It'? You wrote it for Michael. It's my favorite!". He said, "i ..I don't know if I remember all the words." Everyone laughed along with him. I said, "I'm taking it way back." He laughed and again said, "I forgot all the words." That's when he played the first chord, called out the key and started playing! This is literally one of my greatest moments in life, and I'm glad the world can enjoy it, too!

This song written by Stevie, produced by Quincy and sung by Michael is a triumph of music, sung by the author it makes you touch the sky with a finger... Stevie has always been a marvel!! Simply unattainable!!

he wrote that song for Michael and forgets the words got to love Stevie

This song was going to be a hit regardless. MJ gave this song a more intimate feeling

stevie is the magic and michael was the magician

Stevie Wonder is a musical genius. I pray that he has much success in his adopted country of Ghana. May God bless him.

To all the people who say MJ sang it better - I would say, MJ sang it MJ way - Stevie sings it Wonder Way. Both are spiritual experiences that take us to other worlds. You know who is singing within 1.5 seconds. Isn't that amazing right there? There is no need to put everything in The Voice competition box. I am so grateful to have benefited and been uplifted by these two megatalents!!!

Michael bought a tension and anticipation and heightened nervous sensitivity to this song. Made it really special.

I love this song. As soon as you hear those Chords you know Stevie's behind it.

Thank you Stevie for writing this song. Thank you Michael for recording it. Both musical geniuses.

Only Stevie can mutter the words to a song and it still sound worthy of a Grammy 💯

Stevie is one of the greatest musicians of all time, of any era. When you think about the range of music he created, it doesn't fit any category really -- funk? soul? R&B? What about The Secret Life of Plants? The man is a true genius and he is one of the major reasons I became a musician...I'm so grateful that I am alive at the same time as Mr. Wonder, and was a kid when he was a few years older -- his music went right into me. And as a drummer, I must remind everyone that Stevie is one of the greatest drummers of all time. Just check out his drumming (on his tune, for the Spinners), "It's a Shame." No deeper pocket than that tune. And he was like, 20, 21?? Wow. Genius.

... I think this song was meant for Michael, but you can't deny that Stevie knows his way around a melody.

And that's why "Off The Wall" is and always will be Michael Jackson's best album.

I sure miss the hell out of Michael J. Damn!!

Stevie is a wonder

What many don’t know is that Stevie and Michael’s families are related through their mother’s. The Jacksons always looked up to him and his musicality. He, in return always looked out for them. Him and Michael had a special bond and this song captures it. What a masterpiece.

This song on Off The Wall has a very "Stevie" flavour to it. It makes sense that the Wonder produced and composed this classic.

I’m 22 and I’m just now falling in love with all the great soulful RnB music from the 70s and 80s. The more I learn about Stevie the more I am a fan of him as an artist. Now he’s probably my favorite artist of all time. I’m learning a lot of songs on the keys and on the drums by him. I love playing this on the keys a beautiful chord progression between am9 b6 chord to a AbM9, then the fm9 to EM9 progression in the chorus. I wish I could have been there when he was in his prime he’s my inspiration 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I have never heard so many 🤡 Comments! Stevie wrote the song. He's in the studio jamming live, this is not a finished production. No effects no reverb this song was not intended to be released. He's straight playing an electric piano and jamming. You can't compare this to a finished production so stop being clowns!

I need someone to mix Michael's demo and Stevie's version. And make it like a 12 minute song.

When i first heard this on Off the Wall, my first thought was "this sounds like something Stevie Wonder would write"

What a genius. Putting this song together the way it is was pure gold. Those chords and inversions are perfect. I’m glad Micheal Jackson got to sing on this. It does suit his voice better but you could tell without even knowing it that it’s a Stevie wonder tune. 😎

Man, every time I hear this jam I wish out loud he and MJ would have duetted it!!

this man could sing Mary had a Little Lamb and I'd be over the moon, over the stars, over joyed! I LOVE YOU STEVIE!!!

MJ was a great Singer and an incredible dancer. SW is a musical monster. No one can write music and lyrics and play and Sing like SW.

This is one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs and it was written by my favorite singer Stevie Wonder. My Top 5 List is Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Tupac Shakur.

He and mj are my favorite male singer no one can top them not even r kelly king level that's how the neptunes would sould like if they would be a group and sing 😊❤

just think if they'd made this a duet...

The song is so beautiful, and Michael's rendition is awesome.

WOW! I was listening to MJ's version and wondered if Stevie had a version of it. Ended up here!!!

Nobody but Stevie could write anything so beautiful..

If you ever saw Stevie live in concert you would know there is every other musician, then there is Mr. Wonder. As soon as his fingers hits the key board, you know you are in for a fantastic treat. Yes Michael's rendition of this song is "gold". I listened to in on my MP3 this week. Stevie plays music and sings, don't forget.

Stevie Wonder and his usual funkadelic self! Just as incredible as the original!

HE KILLED IT!

This blows my mind; didn't know that Stevie wrote this Michael Jackson song. Stevie the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What i notice mostly is How Quincy came in & put his touch on it. Amazing Song made even more Amazing.

Stevie's version is more symphonic, silky, and soulful. Love Michael's voice, but I got to go with Stevie. He's just incredible and WONDERFUL.

This song is beautiful throughout. The synthesizers and keyboard work was groundbreaking. Gotta give credit to Stevie and Greg Phillinganes for their skills. A masterpiece.

I like both versions. Jamming for real

Wow, the baseline is the one on this song!

What if Stevie recorded it for "Hotter Than July"? Can you imagine this being on the same album as "Rocket Love" and "Master Blaster"?

this would have been a solid hit for Stevie had he not given it to MJ wow ... I love both versions with just a lil more toward Stevie cuz he's my idol oh man... wow, I love it.

Stevie is so original so magical, he takes you into a higher realm, every time. No artist on earth can do that, except it is from above.

I can't it if I love my haters thats the God in me I can't help it

One day i listened to this and thought "These chord progressions are so Stevie" And then saw the credits. He also wrote "You are my heaven" by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathoway. Gotta see if hes in the tube performing that one.

Yaaaassss! Stevie is nothing short of amazing and this is one of my fav MJ songs of all times :)

Stevie Wonder Is A Genius Plain And Simple

looovvvveeeew!!!! Finally hear Stevie do a version of this amazing song that he wrote for Michael!

The first time I heard Michael Jacksons version of this beautiful song I got the same vibe I had when I listen to Stevie Wonder Innervisions. Real music

Best Composer Ever !!

You can hear the love, the beauty, the joy. Thank you.

Props to the genius Mr. Stevie Wonder. He wrote the song.

O and @WesHalworld what an inspiring moment we're all so glad you DID ask! A magician practices magic for a lifetime to perfect his craft... but Magic kneels down and begs to serve our Stevie!!!!

Stevie killed this!!!!!!!! Him and Mike are my favorites!!!!!!

Lord have mercy

This is my first time hearing this version….the original from the incomparable Mr. Stevie Wonder❤️🖤💚 Thank you Stevie #TheGoats #StevieWonder #MJ

Wow this sound amazing with Stevie

The Bass player is KILLIN

Musical Genius.......

Can listen all day….He’s my favorite I know I’m not alone. 💗

Stevie did it Stevie way Michael did it Michael way yet still iconic

Thankyou so much for sharing❤ I’m a huge fan of Stevie wonder. I knew he wrote it for MJ but hearing Stevie singing it and adding a verse is sending me❤❤❤❤ I love it

This ballad and Buttercup are one of the best ones of all time!!

Who's the bass player??????? OMG

What a wonderful and beautiful event! This is amazing! Oh and Stevie is a prophet!

We had music once upon a time.

I thank Stevie for writing the lyrics to this tune. Most of all, l thank Michael for an awesome version of this tune.

When I first heard this song many years ago by MJ the first thing I said is this sounds like something Stevie Wonder would make.. ironically

I remember the first time I heard the MJ version on the off the wall record I was 4 years old & at that age a huge Stevie Wonder fan. I had always felt this was a Stevie joint. It wasn’t until my teenage years that I looked up this song to find out that it was written by the man himself. ❤️

Nothing like live musician's.....pure skill n talent.

One of the best grooves I've ever heard.

LOVE THAT 70's SOUND!

I knew this would be everything I thought it would be... after all, Stevie created this beautiful song...

this dude the truth. I'm speechless

I would love to hear Stevie's original demo to this song! This has always been one of MJ's best songs imo.

Unbelievable! Truly God is present

Stevland Morris you are the greatest!

This is one of the hardest songs ever for anyone to sing. Kudos SW for writing this song but most of all, MJ was a godsend. I heard my goddess, Beyonce, sang this song but no one can compare to MJ. IMO

Another mix i didnt know i needed.

Stevie has been and will always be one of my favorite musicians. He's a once in an era talent along with Michael.

If this were the 1970s....Stevie would have knocked this song out of the park like Michael. Stevie is up in age so it's not fair to compare him to Michael singing wise.

This song was meant to be on Songs in the Key of Life but never made the cut. It was submitted to Quincy Jones for the Off The Wall album which he was producing for MJ 👌🏾

Love the improvised 3rd verse about christmas music playing 24/7

Love Stevie but Mike got this one. But a lil Stevie is always good for the soul.

Man, this Joint is the Groove! WONDER IS WONDERFUL. This is a heck of a Cut that he wrote for MJ. God has given us a Spiritual Gift. Stevie could have easily brought down the house on his own, if he would have actually recorded this for himself. Two magical Gifts in Stevie & Mike. Mike, R.I.P. You are truly missed. The Best Entertainer. Stevie, you are just Incredible! You belong in a Class by yourself.

I’m surprised that this song wasn’t ever recorded back in the day. You can totally tell that it’s a Stevie wonder song when you heard it for the first time on off the wall.

I can't help but love you Stevie Wonder!!

No words to describe this talent man......

a beauty ful song writed for micheal jackson,thank you very much Mr Stevie wonder

Every time I heard this song on Off The Wall I was like "this sounds like a Stevie Wonder song" and it is!😆

Nate's bass runs! 😱 😎

stevie is simply the greastest!!!

one of his best compositions, hands down.

Personally, I always like the version song by the person who writes the lyrics.

This is pure perfection! This man sees through his music

Não me canso de ouvir essa linda canção de Michael Jackson na de Stevie Wonder, ficou massa de demais, o baixo dá tchan espetacular, gostei muito. inesquecivel Michael, tempos bons não voltam mais, Saudades não me deixam em paz, cantava o grande humorista Lilito

Mr Stevie Wonder The Greatest My Favorite Artist's

Stevie - The Master

Just appreciate the talent of this man even through disability he still shines....... man thanks and respect from Jamaica
