Actually 2 but there is like 7 or 8 total clav tracks of with 2 being the original di takes, then 2 for the room mic, two for something else, and then 2 more for a super echoey track
How did Stevie lead himself into the Clavinet intro when he tracked the drums thereafter? Also, I never knew the vocals were double tracked. They're only single-tracked on record.
The Clav echos are mixed much lower on the finished track. Good job too, because the delays (echos) are not swung like the whole track, and they would sound awful and out of sync. This song is very swingy
It grooves in parts?? Some of the fills fail? The only thing falling off the rails catastrophically regarding this video is your assessment of Stevie Wonder’s drumming.
HOW CAN YOU BE SO WRONG, his fills are so close to falling off the rails but never do. It is masterclass and the soul of a groove, hanging on by threads, loose and swampy.
The clavinet is very guitar sounding but alas it's just a keyboard. I know that when Stevie played the song live, he had a guitarist playing alongside him on the clav
