Stevie’s Best Vocal Performance | Vocal Showcase

Redemption Song (1996) | Get on the Bus Soundtrack

This particular performance has always been on my mind and I wondered how did Stevie sing this?! The runs are as fast as what Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey were doing in the 90s and here is a mature, seasoned legend still showing that he got the chops and can keep up with the new kids!

Also what an amazing tribute to Bob Marley!

Stevie re-creates "I Just Called To Say I Love You" from scratch using one synth!

(1985) Using the Kurzweil Reading Machine and its text to speech, Stevie can use the machine to help him read instructions for his synthesizer, so he can compose a song one track at a time.

He used this very often for demo and some studio recordings during the mid to late 80s.

TIL: Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder were actually third cousins, and Stevie broke down in tears singing “The Way You Make Me Feel” after Michael’s death

He doesn't even need to release new material. Just release his drum and instrumental isolated tracks and they'll get to no 1 😄 - YouTube

The whole of Stevie's drum track on Superstition 🤩fantastic isolation work by AndosBongoni.

Is this a hot take innervisions > songs in the key of life

I adore both albums and Sir Duke is my fav Stevie song but I think Innervisions is just a more impactful listen to me.

What’s your thoughts.

Unknowingly entranced by Stevie

Funny story.

I used to listen to "That's why they call it the blues" by Elton John pretty compulsively, for the sole purpose of getting to that amazing HARMONICA SOLO.

The more I listened to the song, the more the solo was sending chills flowing all over me, and everytime I was thinking "they've hired an amazing musician for this part, surely one of the many genius session musicians forever unknown to the public..." 😂😂

Until the moment I thought: they will not remain unknown to ME!

I will remember their name!

And decided to check out the name of the player 😂😂 then it became very clear why that solo felt like magic: it was.

(In my defense, y'all already know a LOT of songs from that era feature a harmonica solo so I thought it was one among the many!)

Song name?

What is the Stevie Wonder song where towards the end he gets into an argument and begins to curse alot? I can't for the life of me find it. It's toward the end of the song and it's meant to be funny but also still a hit.
