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.

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.

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.

The Hohner Clavinet. Hard to find one these days.

The brass in this song is brilliant! Bands seem to have forgotten how beautifully the instrument’s can be woven in to a song to enhance. Woodwind’s / brass compliment so well in all tunes IMHO.
