You never ever go wrong with listening to Stevie Wonder! I am so happy that I saw him twice lWhat a performance, what a performer! Love those memories😊

@kittykatt7652 Год назад

In 1973 Stevie Wonder suffered head injuries in a car wreck that left him in a coma for four days. This song was on the album released that year. I remember the words feeling like he was describing being given a second chance at life. That's what this song sounds like to me.

@donnabannister793 Год назад

Anything STEVIE WONDER!!!💯❤️💃🎶💃🎶 love love LOVE!!!💯❤️

@groundscoresteve4964 Год назад

STEVIE! Oh Yeah!! 😊✌️👍

@Julieroo28 Год назад

This song is about a near death experience he had where he saw the bad things he had done in a previous life. I guess his point is some things never change, but you can always change your own behavior for the better.

@Julieroo28 Год назад

@brandonrobinson5595 OK, you’re right. I just read this quote from him on Wiki: “I would like to believe in reincarnation. I would like to believe that there is another life. I think that sometimes your consciousness can happen on this earth a second time around. For me, I wrote "Higher Ground" even before the accident. But something must have been telling me that something was going to happen to make me aware of a lot of things and to get myself together. This is like my second chance for life, to do something or to do more, and to value the fact that I am alive.”

The legendary Stevie Wonder.......from right here in Saginaw,Michigan

@Lakeshore14 Год назад

Oh wow. There are so many great songs by Stevie Wonder. Anything from Songs In The Key of Life album is fantastic. Stevie signed with Motown when he was 11 years old and he went by Little Stevie Wonder. By 13 he was writing hit songs. One song he wrote for Aretha Franklin called Until You Come Back To Me is another great one and was a hit for Aretha. He was 14 when he gave it to her. When he signed with Motown they said he was like a sponge and just absorbed all the musical talent that surrounded him. He learned how to play almost every instrument the Funk Brothers played. He simply is a musical genius and a national treasure. Thanks for reacting to him and hope you consider many more that he did. 👍👍😊

@MARKB3946 Год назад

Stevie is just a phenomenon ... incredible singer/songwriter/performer. 🔥

@bryce253 Год назад

Absolutely love this song. Listening to it with headphone and with your eyes closed and trying to follow each instrument is like listening to a wall of music. All the instruments and vocals done by 23 yr old Stevie "the genius" wonder.

@charlesgarner2177 Год назад

Stevie is a musical genius. Been raised on his legendary music. Right before my mom past, a few years ago, we went to see Stevie in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We had a prime rib dinner, went out in the parking lot and got baked, then walked inside and saw a fantastic Stevie Wonder show. IT JUST DOESNT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT. Love You Mom!

@lewistasso8866 Год назад

Kids! Yes you Asia, and BJ, how can you not know Stevie Wonder and his masterpiece "Higher Ground??" Well, the class has started. You have been signed up for "Stevie 101." This is one of my all-time favorite songs altogether. I'm always on my imaginary keyboard when I hear this. I was around 4 when this song was released and I still remember him as a young man on TV doing this song. Great stuff.

@marthaz Год назад

Stevie - brilliant songwriter, prodigy musician, spiritual, prophetic, activist. His library is huge - he spearheaded the movement to make Dr MLK 's birthday a national holiday. A great movie review would be the "tribute to Stevie Wonder" which included too many Legends to name singing his songs. 👍🔥🌈

@SPTO Год назад

Stevie is a freakin' genius. He basically covered every conceivable style of black music you can think of. One of my absolute favorites of his is an '80s song "The Woman in Red" it doesn't hurt that the first time I heard that song it was when seeing Kelly LeBrock having her red dress flowing up over a vent and seeing her red satin panties LOL

@tiffanyspencer2782 Год назад

Wow. BJ said exactly what I thought. It's 1 of my favorites. I knew it was uplifting, but I'd never really listened to the lyrics. Now I have a bigger appreciation & perspective. I love it even more.

@gerardroll6468 Год назад

Asia, BJ… I’ve heard so many artists cover this classic hit over the years but for me, Stevie’s is “the G.O.A.T” ☝️😎. Any song that can get you up & dancing around the house like this one is always going to have a long lasting effect on you, especially when you can unleash your “chair boogie” ✊😁

@keithyoung4383 Год назад

Asia the album Intervisions is where this song is from I got chills when you wondered about the album the entire album is what you and BJ spoke a out every track. For me it's his greatest album and I love them off if you and BJ get a chance to check it out it will completely engulfed you pay particular attention to the album cover before you go in. You're welcome.

@dwainwilder7337 Год назад

While this song was recorded in 1973, it is not time stamped with the sound of the 70s. If you really get into Stevie’s music, he keep his sound fresh by not giving it the signature of that decade, with the exception of what he did in the 1960s. That is a sign of a genius!

@2869may Год назад

You HAVE to do "Livin For The City".....!!! And the Commodores ~ "Just To Be Close To You"...!!!

@surlechapeau Год назад

"Livin' For The City" must be the full album version. Live versions cut out the arrest section and aftermath. Critical part of the song.

@2869may Год назад

@@surlechapeau I'm a "studio version" fan anyway... Raised on the radio, that's what I grew up on and love. (Not that I don't love some good live performances)

@surlechapeau Год назад

@@2869may Agreed. Those are the versions we first heard and fell in love with.

@2869may Год назад

@@surlechapeau Absolutely, And doing live versions is fine, But do the best representation of the song possible for a first listen, then check out the live version.. With a handful of exceptions the studio is going to be the one 87% of the people want to see the reaction to.

@sharonsnail2954 Год назад

This is from the second phase of his recording career where Stevie is writing, producing, arranging, making the coffee ... His output in the 1970s is truly remarkable 💯 Of course, quite a few of the records from the 1960s were pretty good too but he was part of the Motown production factory, albeit slightly divorced. IMHO the changeover point was the track "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)". Funkier, more complex and produced by Stevie. As for me, I bought "Fingertips" in 1963 (boy, am I old) and still have the 45. Asia, BJ: You should react to both "Fingertips" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" and hear the change from child prodigy to adult.
