What else can you say about Stevie, other than he is a musical genius. He was signed to Motown at 11 years of age and was writing songs at age 13 for artists like Aretha Franklin. In a Motown documentary it was said he carefully studied every musician in the house band, the Funk Brothers, until he learned how to play nearly every instrument. He is a national treasure. Thanks so much for continuing to delve into Stevie. 👏👏🥰🇨🇦

Stevie Wonder is so named because he is a musical genius, piano, drums, harmonica, etc, not to mention his voice. He has this amazing range and rhythm and he can go from rock to soul and everything in between. If you haven’t yet reacted to Overjoyed, check it out. His voice just rolls smoothly from note to note effortlessly with such grace and style like you are being caressed by his voice. It’s one of my faves of his repertoire

Jazz chords, a complete stop in Tempo, NO ONE was doing this on pop records at the time. Because it was Stevie, he got away with it when everyone was using 3 or 4 chords, same tempo all the way through their songs.

Stevie, great writer, musician, and for me most of all, great vocalist. Stevie Wonder has vocally mesmerized & influenced generations of would be singers like few have done. I'm not sure, but it seems like being blind increased his level of soulfulness & musical insight. To me, although Stevie is primarily looked upon as an "R&B" artist, he's not your (average run-of-mill) R&B artist, because if you listen to enough of his music, he seems to always take an R&B idea an give it an "unusual" twist as if to (Stevie Wonderize) it, or as I have often said, perform R&B but approach like a "Jazz" musician with some "outside" chord or a unique vocal flip etc... That's how I view the genius of the gift of Stevie Wonder......Anyway, Good reaction!

It was nice to see you both respond to the key change at 4:55, when it shifts up a half-step from F to F#. This always gives a feeling of "lift" to a song, and Stevie used it in some of his best songs, e.g., "For Once in My Life," ""My Cherie Amour," "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," etc. It's an arranger's trick that can sound hokey but Stevie always does it so subtly that you're not aware it's happening, but are swept up in the feeling, and buoyed aloft.
