Love his music but politically Wonder is just another blind negro

Stevie wonder, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, and so many more - ah, wonderfulness.

Now we get Hip-Hop and Rap. Sorry, but I’ll take the past.

Rick Beato has an excellent series on Youtube ‘What makes this song great’.

Here is his one on ‘Superstition’

Gives one an even deeper appreciation of just how good SW was.

I loved his 2004 rap.

“We need Kerry
To carry us
Back to the future we heading in.”

Repeat

My favorite Stevie Wonder tune. Saw him once as warmup for Neil Young. He was great...Neil Young sucked.

”He (Jeff Beck) even contributed guitar on the track "Lookin' for Another Pure Love"

He sure did. Right after Stevie says, “go Jeff”, Beck lays down one of the sweetest most pure leads ever recorded.

Stevie Wonder - Lookin For Another Pure Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY2fz5RBgvQ

Really the riff starts about 1:45 and Stevie’s “Do it Jeff” is at about 2m.

I wonder how he knows what being “black” is.

😂
Drew and Mike used to play that on their radio program on the WRIF.
They still play it occasionally on the podcast Drew does.

Hard to believe the song is a half-century old.

I love Stevie Wonder’s music.
Maybe he could keep his big mouth shut about his five wives and a dozen kids.
And don’t preach to the rest of us since he’s never seen a black or a white guy.

You are more precise than my 50yrs ago memory!
But I am sure it was Jim Morrison who said, “Do it Robbie” just prior to a Kreiger lead on Absolutely Live!

Innervisions is one of the greatest albums ever made.

He lost the plot though after Songs In The Key of Life.
