FIRST TIME HEARING Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke REACTION 

I'm 53. Thanks to you and your brother' I feel 16-25 again. I can't stop grinning. That "OOO" face you make gets me every time. Thank you for bringing the world together. #TwinsTheNewTrend

My dad wrote to Stevie Wonder as loved his album (vinyl) and called my brother Stephen after him. Stevie wrote back to say thanks for buying the album and congrats on my birth of my brother and was honoured being the inspiration for his name.

Bill Withers- “Ain’t No Sunshine” one of the best old blues/soul songs ever. Give it a listen.

"The language we all understand". I think you've found your theme song. Love what you are doing; never stop.

“The language we all understand” such truth.

Watching someone hear this chorus for the first time was heartwarming.

Stevie Wonder is one of the greatest artists of all time. The song “As” is one of the best on this album.

It's so refreshing to see the younger generation not only appreciating older music from the legends, from various genres, but they're also paying attention to the lyrics. The first line is straight FACTS!

Duke Ellington: An innovative conductor and composer. Stevie's "Songs in the Key of Life" should be listened to from beginning to end in one sitting. It's remarkable and timeless ❤️

Only discovered your channel this evening (thanks to your Phil Collins reaction doing the rounds on Twitter - and I just want to say "Thank you!". I've been watching your videos for *hours* and the openness of your mind and the genuineness of your reactions has brought this middle-aged white woman such a tonne of joy! Keep it up, and travel well guys :-)

Do “Living for the city.” Stevie Wonder.

He said, "with a voice like Ella singin' out, there's no way the band can lose". Al Green is great, but Stevie was talkin' jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerld.

When this album came out, everyone was blasting it every day... a magnificent album.

I love Stevie Wonder's "I Wish"

I'm a big fan, I'm totally hooked and I'm sad to see I don't think you've heard any of The Spinners? Rubberband Man will blow your mind, I promise! Love to you!!!

I'm 64, and this is the music I was a teenager when this album came out. I was saying along with Stevie at the top of my lungs! I'm so happy that you like his music !

How you can not feel fantastic listening to this?! On your feet!

This is Classic Stevie!!! He is one of the few artists that you really can't choose 1 favorite because there are so many. He & Prince were Great friends & he had such respect for Stevie in how he ran his business in this industry & Stevie loved Prince for all he also accomplished & being true to himself and what a good person he was. Stevie also is a jokester like Prince was. He'd be behind the wheel of the car driving for real (maybe only in the driveway) but he'd freak people out! People swear (its on youtube) he can see. Great reaction! You got it!!! He just turned 70. So glad we still have this icon.🙏

I love knowing Tim (and Fred) are getting ready to listen to a masterpiece, classic "banger" as they like to say. Plus, you kinda get reminded of how much fantastic music we had in the past

I love watching you listen!! If we all listened to each other with your level of openness and willingness, the world would be a better place! Keep it up and keep your passion alive!! Thank you.

Yes!! I'm a music teacher and had my chorus perform this a few years ago. Music is the catalyst! Glad you enjoyed. Its a joy to watch you enjoying incredible music.

This album is one of the best entire albums ever created. Not just ever created by Stevie Wonder, not just created for R&B, but overall, this album is one of the best. There is not a bad song on this album.

We had the pleasure of seeing Stevie Wonder live on his “Key of Life Tour in Newark, NJ when our son & his fiancée took us as an anniversary gift! It was one of the thrills of our lives!!! He is one of our 5 All Time favorites composers/performers! There are not enough words to fully say the emotion we feel when we hear him sing. By the way we are all multi-generational professional musicians/song writers and made sure our sons & granddaughter were brought up on Stevie Wonder. Keep on doing your thing- I enjoy it a lot!!!

I think the twins would lose their minds hearing What You Won’t do for Love -Bobby Caldwell

Please react to Stevie "Living just enough for the city" "Overjoyed" "Isn't she lovely" I just called to say I love you. I could go on & on because Stevie has so many hits, but these are a good place to start! 😍👍

Good grief, man. You gained 5k subscribers in like... what... an hour? You’re killin’ it!

He's singing about the "Big Band" era of music, particularly in the Black community where they had whole swing orchestras playing the clubs playing the dance music of the era. Started in the 1920's and went into the '50's. Some stars like Duke Ellington (Sir Duke) were legends. Count Basie, Glen Miller, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald are the musicians and singers of the era he's talking about.

"Hey Love" when Stevie was still wet behind the ears is early insight into his talent and greatness, don't sleep on this one!

Please do "Parliament" " Flashlight" thanks for keeping me smiling !!!💙💙

ANYTHING by Stevie! How about Master Blaster? 🙌🏼. BTW, this is his best album!

One of the best albums. Period. He's a musical genius.

I was 8 when this song came out.....I'll be 52 in September. "Knocks Me Off My Feet", "As".

This entire album is one of Stevie's best, and he has a lot of great ones. 🙌🏾

Stevie Wonder is one of the best. Try “For Once In My Life” or “Signed, Sealed, Delivered”

Another Stevie song to listen to. "Don't Worry About A Thing" My favorite I think

I'm so glad that you enjoyed this song. Back in the day when this song came out my heart jumped for joy to hear Stevie doing a song in big band style of the 40s. Music is so fluid that we get to hear the influence of music styles flow back and forth through time. It did me a lot of good to see you appreciate this song. Keep on doing what you do. I'm happy knowing that though one day I will be gone but the music of my day will continue on.

Love how your music growth continues! Add some early Stevie to your list....Fingertips part I and II he plays an unbelievable harmonica and he was so young 12 years old! You will continue to be amazed. Just love your posts

I saw you earlier with "In The Air Tonight" and liked subscribed new fan here :)

I like how he just casually says that Stevie Wonder “did his thing”. I’m like: “It’s frickin’ Stevie Wonder!” 😭 Awesome video.

Stevie Wonder is a legend. I remember the first time I ever saw him was on a daytime show. He was about 12-13 years of age, he came on, he sang, played the drums, played harmonica, piano and another instrument. I was amazed at his talent. I've always been a huge admirer of him.

Played this in my High School Jazz Band, what a great song.

You got all us old white ladies jibber-jabbering at you. Poor guys.

From a blind school in Bay City Michigan to a world inspiration. Stevie is legend.

You MUST listen to this entire album. I was a young teenager when it came out, and it blew my mind. It is the single most influential and important album in my life and I am now 58. I will never ever tire of it. Stevie Wonder is life

You CANNOT GO WRONG with Stevie, a musical genius! Try: A Place in the Sun; Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours; My Cherie Amour; Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday. ALL CLASSICS!

Stevie Wonder is one of the Greatest talented people in the music 🎶 world!☮☮❤❤☺☺

Your enthusiasm is so infectious, I'm loving this music all over again in ways I never did before. Keep it up!

What’s special about this one too is that he not only pays homage to the Duke & musical influencers in the lyrics, but also mimics them in the instrumentation, runs & changes. Stevie is musical genius. My late dad was a huge jazz & swing fan, & he LOVED this song.

Thank you for this glorious channel. You all are a bright spot in a dark time, and I am grateful! I would love to see you react to Paul Simon's Late in the Evening. Again, thank you so much!

This my favorite song of his! You can feel it all over!

Love Stevie, it's all my parents used to play in the house. I'm a 60s child, yes, that classic music is still RELEVANT! Keep digging in the crates. Enjoy your videos.

He and Prince played most of their own instruments in the studio. He's a freaking genius!!

I'm white, British and younger than you. This is one of my favourite songs.

Great reaction, greater message.

Great review, please do " You Haven done nothing" Higher Ground" "Living for the city" and "Sunshine of my life".

You guys are so fun to watch! I love "Sir Duke". You gotta check out "I Wish" from the same album!

Love those horns, one of my all time favorites.

I love it! Yes - we are so different but music is the language we all understand! (And gotta love Stevie! Good choice!)

“Basie (Count Basie-swing bandleader), Miller (Glen Miller famed trombonist and Swing Era bandleader ) Satchmo ( Louis Armstrong, our country’s greatest musician) and the King of all Sir Duke” (Duke Ellington our country’s greatest bandleader and composer), “and a voice like Ella’s ( Ella Fitzgerald) singin’ out!” All deserve you checking them out! I don’t remember Al Green being mentioned in the song though! (although he’s great too)

Sir Stevie Wonder singing out Sir Duke! Another masterpiece, from the Brass, rhythm and vocals, nothing but Gold!

You might like jamiroquai, a bit like stevie. Some tracks to check out would be Virtual insanity, return of the space cowboy, too young to die...they even did one on the Godzilla soundtrack called deeper underground

I love it young brother. You could do a whole tv series with Stevie Wonder songs. Check out Earth Wind and Fire though -- "Reasons" or "Fantasy".

That whole "Songs in the Key of Life" album is FANTASTIC!

Honey, I think everyone on the planet speaks Stevie Wonder, he's been around so long, by now he's reached every man, woman and child on the planet, and ohh God, Songs in the Key of Life, a pioneering, producion, and engineering marvel, the album was a double disc, I played it DAY AND NIGHT , EVERY DAY , even would put the huh "record player", on repeat and go to sleep with what ever side of the album I wanted playing while I slept!,, He got a Grammy for it, can't remember, maybe more than one. This album is in there with the other amazing albums that were extraordinarily produced, groups that took extra , extra care in making, The Wall, Aja, Go For Your Guns(I think the best album by the Isleys, played that too morning noon, and night!), The White album. And Stevie sounded like he had so much fun while he made it, its hard to remember while you listen to it how much professionalism he put into it. You must, YOU MUST, listen to the whole body of this work. "Loves in Need Of Love Today, Pastime Paradise, Summer Soft(beautiful and "flighty", light, and soft, and all light piano keys), Have a Little Talk With God, As(beautiful, heavy on the heart lyrics, thay one "God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed"), Knocks Me Off My Feet, Ordinary Pain, Isn't She Lovely(about his beautiful daughter, and she's squealing and laughing on the song like that song by Aliyah from Dr. Dolittle?), just to name a few, there's no bad song on there, you may find you you like all of them, check it and see, enjoy young man, there are many jewels from the 70's, so, so many, Stevie is a genius, no joke, no lie see for yourself, enjoy, Godspeed, Peace✌

Best Stevie Wonder songs: Overjoyed, Don't you worry about a thing, As, Someday at Christmas, All I Do, Lately, and Ribbon in the Sky

I want you to listen to the WHOLE album, "Songs In the Key of Life." It will be one of your favorites!!! Brilliant Album!!!

I was blessed to see Stevie in concert in Nashville in 2013. When he started playing this, the crowd went crazy!! His musicianship is beyond incredible. Love you guys!!💜

So enjoy watching you listen to "old" stuff! You're right, music can bring us together. If you need a pick me up, try Boogie Shoes by KC and the Sunshine band, and please keep making these connections. I lost a lot of time with your channel the last couple of days. Love to hear the music, and love seeing you experience some surprises!

Can You PLEASE do one of these for Foreigner "I wanna know what love is" it's a banger track I KNOW you'll love! You think Phil was good, which he IS....check out the one I suggested. I ask in the kindest way! I loved your reaction to that famous beat drop all of us know and love.

Imma need to talk to y’alls momma and daddy - how have you just heard Stevie Wonder?! 😂

I would enjoy y’all doing Cameo “Word Up”

New Birth (Wildflower, It's Been A Long Time, Dream Merchant), Tina Marie (Dear Lover, Out on a Limb, If I Were A Bell, Casanova Brown ), Rick James and Tina Marie (Fire and Desire), Al Jarreau (1976 Take Five, We're in This Love Together), Simply Red (Holding Back the Years, If You Don't Know Me By Now)

Love watching you love some Stevie Wonder! He’s the best!

Chris Isaak “Wicked Game” and Bobby Caldwell “What You Won’t Do For Love”

"Dont you worry bout a thing" a story of hope and joy when haters are in your midst. And 'Misstra Know it All". a story of those that know it all but are empty an hollow.Both Stevie Joints!!!

Pure unadulterated joy to watch your.reaction. Been a Stevie fan since way back when, you bring a new dimension to my listening pleasure. Million thanks to you and your brother for making an old biddy smile.

Earth, Wind, and Fire’s “In the Stone” is one I always bop like this to, and I think y’all reacting to it would be great.

I remember him from when he used to be known as Little Stevie Wonder. He has had a long and prolific career.

Love Stevie Wonder...I live in NYC and listen to his when on the subway/bus as this always makes me happy!!! This is a classic! ❤

This could be your theme song! I was 8 when this came out. I remember watching him play this live on our little black and white television. He and his whole band were dressed in white. I think tuxedos. I was blown away. My little 8vyear old self boppin' around the living room.🤣 I'm so glad you're into it. Stevie is truly a Wonder!!

Check out Bill Withers, Al Green and Marvin Gaye!

I would love to see your reaction to hearing Little Richard - Tutti Frutti.

Here it is March 15 2021 it's 10:49 p.m. and this young man makes me smile just to watch his reaction is so adorable he's watching Stevie Wonder right now I love this love it

Keep on listening to Stevie. He plays a lot of the instruments too. He's amazing.

Just wanted yall to know that yall made TMZ with yall's reaction to Phil Collins and made him trending on Friday. Way to go guys!!!👏👏👏

The album ' Songs in the Key of Life " is one of the greatest albums of all time.

Yessir! Awesome. I’m glad you reacted to this. Stevie Wonder, is the best! 🙌🏿🎶

I was around seven years old when this song came out, and I grew up hearing it, but I was today years old when I learned it was called "Sir Duke" and was about Duke Ellington! Since you're enjoying learning about the jazz greats, I'd like to see you do a reaction video to Duke Ellington's "The Swinger's Jump." It's one of my favorite pieces of instrumental music ever.

You should listen to The Brand New Heavies, song Never Stop...

React to "Never dreamed you leave in summer". I love his earlier work!

I listen to this song EVERY morning bc it really does make you feel it all over and those HORNS! This is the BEST Stevie song! And 100% agree... Music is what brings people together!

I was a wee lass in ‘76 and EVERY station was playing stuff off this album. It was that damn good!

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE, by Talking Heads (from the film Stop Making Sense)

I've been enjoying your stuff all day. If nothing else just to listen to these songs. You need to do some live Grateful Dead. Best Live Band in history. Every show was different. Best sound engineers. They could make the music come from every direction. Dead Heads would follow show to show. They let people record their shows so there are volumes and volumes out. Literally hundreds of shows. I would say start with 'High Times' or 'Brokedown Palace', but every Head has their different favorites. Literally one of the most productive bands ever. You could do a song a day for a year and not get through them all. As to something more up like Nivanna, check out the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Think Funk Punk Hip Hop. May want to start with 'The Power of Equality'. 'Give it Away' is another banger. However, some of their slower songs are their best. 'Under the Bridge' or 'Breaking That Girl'. All on the same album. "Blood Sugar, Sex Magic. Can't go wrong. Noticed you like Ray Manzarek of the Doors keybord. You may want to check out Jeff Beck's 'Blues Deluxe' on his album Truth. Bad Ass pounding keyboard. Thanks for your positive message, and keep up the good work.

The first time I heard this song I thought I've got to learn that!!! It took months but finally mastered it on my bass. Thanks for the memories. It speaks to the truth of music.

How can you NOT dance to Stevie?? I grew up on Stevie Wonder amongst others and it was the best time musically EVER!!! Enjoy young man!! PS another group that got us on our feet..EARTH, WIND and FIRE!!

Alright guys! I like what y’all are doing! Pull up some “Living Colour” Cult of personality! Make sure you strap in for this one!!!

Ok you jammin to the song. For that. Good. Find the dance moves that were done back then. Challenge!!

This whole album is a statement! Every song is amazing. Listen to it all and enjoy!

Stevie Winder is just an amazing artist. This is hands down my favorite!! And yes, pure facts, you’re right. The brass section is killing it too!!
