No copyright infringment intended. If felt...please comment below and I will remove this video. One of Stevie's...and Motown's...BEST! The Funk Brothers and the Andantes collaborate perfectly!
Having lived in Detroit when all this took place was one word Fan-tas-tic! You see, every time a new release came out I'd hear it because I worked as a shoe shone boy next to the record shop and Mary who worked there would always come over and say we got a new one and this happened so regularly I'm telling you. I couldn't wait until the Motown reviews so I could see everybody In one place at the Fox theater, it was simply majestic
Two things 1). Has there ever been a band that did it any better than the Funk Brothers? 2). Its possible that we may never see young people ages 12-18 that are able to successfully make quality innocent music like this ever again. Stevie is only 16 yrs old here....genius
Very sad to read that John Perrone, the talented man who put this channel together died from Covid on April 5, 2020. . A great loss, thank you so much for your work over the past 8 years. Much respect. xxxxx
Oh that's too bad. I just found this channel today. Do you know if he has any explanation of his process of extending and such? Wondering if is from raw tracks or cut/pasting bars or what?
Growing up in Detroit in the '60's we took it all for granted. The Funk Brothers, the Andantes, the song writers, the lead artists, everything. It was beyond exceptional, beyond words, and we never realized how incredible it would sound a half a century later.
Sho'ya' right, brotherman!! Know what else is a true statement/testerment to his talent,, he accepted & made peace with his disability, & let his other senses kick in to help him navigate, & show him the way!! Lastly, Jett magazine did an article with him, talking about his career, & is being blind stopping him from his, music career?! Stevie said no, he also said that he was glad, he was blind, that way he didn't have to see how unfair the system was against Black Men, Women & children, he can't see it, butt it stills bring a year to his eyes!!
I couldn`t believe what I was hearing when I first heard this. What is this Motown music? The start of a love affair that`s still going after 55 or so years. Just wonderful.
I remember when this hit in 1965 and that FABULOUS YEAR . . .1966! New Girlfriend 'cross town riding in 1966 Lemans. . . . . . . . .and Mitch Ryder . . "Jennie Take A Ride"!
approaching my 70th birthday, and this is one of my all time favourite teenage motown songs from Sir Stevie Wonder , still gets my dancing shoes going , AMAZING extended version to keep my feet movin LOVE IT.
A brand new " Baby" ,a brand New Year 1966, and out of the Gate comes this Explosive record !!! Outta Sight !!!!!!! 'Goin To A Go Go' , and Mitch Ryder's 'Jenny Take A Ride ' !!!!!!! WOW!!!!
Stevie Wonder and I share the same birthday, we met once while he was performing in Sheffield UK, had a few moments together. Outstanding song and performer.
Next song would be let work it out...the funk brother and stevie wonder...now..that sounds touch..heart mind soul...🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗1964...peace..love happiness...soul..
I am not a musician,singer,just a fan.These extended plays are just fantastic,the Funks’ are just the untouchable ,did Stevie,Levi,David et al know how good they were!!!!!!!! This music will last forever Respectful nod to the peerless Andantes. David R.
OMG. It's that exciting, heart stopping 1960s up tempo Motown Sound. The out of sight Funk Brothers backing band. Outer worldly female background vocalists. The Four Tops, Supremes, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and of course the boy wonder himself, Stevie. Yep, Could listen to that Motown Sound all day. This must be good for one's health. Happy music!
In 1967, I was about 10 years old when this was released. I certainly remember the influence that this sensational song had upon teens and parents. A unique time of enormous Stevie Wonder popularity, and of course, Tamala, Motown, being a household word being mentioned from all types of people.
Agreed. I was 11, and the song represented a sound that had no equal at the time, and used a slang that had come on in recent years. That made it a classic for young folks. And the guy was just 17 yrs old!!! Unbelievable. Great Motown song.
This piece speaks for itself. If you are not uplifted by hearing this, you are probably dead and don't know it. To the core. If you were alive and remember this song breaking out in 1965, you know what I'm talking about. Timeless.
He played the Forum in L.A. in 1973 or '74 and when this song started 18,000 fans jumped to their feet and started cheering and clapping and dancing. It was magical!! (Rufus with Chaka Khan opened for Stevie that tour!)
The first mosogotam version I ever heard back in 2011, and still one of my all time favourites. I was blown away by the drums ( Papa Zita) . I don’t believe I even noticed them when I was listening to this record in my bedroom when I was a wee lad . Thank you John.
I would have loved to have been there for these sessions & just clapped, played a tambourine or any of the other implements used to create that wonderful sound!
the Funk Bros have always been out of sight. Whom ever had the sense to create these instrumental versions is out of control, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
*Anyone:* So the Funk Brothers backed Stevie recording this?? Ive had his 1967 _Greatest Hits_ album for many years, but until now didnt bother to start looking up his band members, producer, etc
Misty eyes listening to this, was a kid when this hit, love the extended mix, the 60s had its share of strife but I wouldn't trade being a kid during that time for anyyhing...
I first heard this on the radio back in 1966 when I was at Ft. Bragg,NC in the 82nd Airborne. I said to myself what is goin on in the outside world. I gotta get back out there cause it's poppin. lol
He was amazing here in 1967, 68. What he went on to do in the 70s is beyond belief. The Funk Brothers brought it every single time, truly created a timeless soundtrack. I love going back and listening to and watching these gems!
Que voulez-vous que l'on vous dise, à part s'incliner et vous dire BRAVO 👏👏❤❤❤❤ je pense que même Stevie Wonder en personne face à tel, admire tant la performance, que la qualité de cette version réalisée dans le plus pur respect de l'œuvre initiale, sans la dénaturer, voir même en la sublimant. BRAVO 👍👏👏❤❤❤❤
CONGRATULATIONS TO MOTOWN'S 60TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD ALONG WITH STEVIE WONDER ONE MANY MOTOWN'S MUSICAL GENUIS AND HE'S A VERY EXTRAORDINARY TALENTED MAN IN MOTOWN'S MUSIC INDUSTRY EVEN TODAY IN 2020
