Superstition - Stevie Wonder | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION! 

Hey all! This was clipped from our 50k sub special, back when we were in my mom’s guest room, shout out to her for letting us use it then! Our first time ever checking out Stevie Wonder!! Hope you guys enjoy this extra vid, see you tomorrow! 🙌🏻🔥❤️

Stevie Wonder was so badass, that when Paul Simon won the Grammy for best album in 1976, during his acceptance speech he thanked Stevie for not releasing an album that year.

I find it fascinating that anyone could live on planet earth for 20 or more years and not have heard Stevie Wonders Superstition.

And then you realise that Stevie was 22 when this was released...

You know what makes Talking Book extra special? Stevie himself (who is blind, for those who don't know) did not only keyboard, but also drums and bass for most of the album. What a legend!

One of the funkiest tunes in the history of music.

Living for the City should be the next one from Stevie Wonder. And by the way, Georgia on My Mind was by Ray Charles. The other blind black musician 🤣

"First Stevie Wonder song!" I think I just fainted.

The crazy thing about Stevie is that he played most of the instruments on his albums. On this song, he’s playing a Clavinet, Moog bass, playing drums and singing. He’s one of my favorite artists.

Andy: "The correct answer is always the longer one." almost 100% of the time

The fun thing is Stevie played ALL the instruments on this version.

"Boogie on Reggae Woman," "Master Blaster," "As," "Sir Duke"

"Everyone knew what they were doing". Especially the drums, the bass, the clav and the singer: they knew very well each other!

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" - my favorite Stevie Wonder song.

Here's the thing: Take the whole Stevie catalog - slap an S on it. Done.

Stevie was more than just a great musician, he was a musical pioneer. A absolute genius.

Stevie Wonder through headphones is an experience in itself! You hear overdubbing background singing and instrumentals you don’t hear otherwise. He’s the best. ❤

A GOD like Stevie,and this is your first song by him?!? I dont believe it,there are many you know but dont realise it. Stevie Wonder has a catalogue even The Beatles would be utterly proud of. Respected by every artist in every genre,this is a rabbit hole that will change your life.

That, gentlemen, is the classic 70s funk sound. Stevie Wonder is iconic. His album Songs In The Key Of Life...also iconic. Give it a listen sometime!

'Boogie On Reggae Woman' and 'Sir Duke' are his finest, IMO. Stevie is a musical genius. No doubt about it.

stevie wonder has such clear, lucid, PASSIONATE VOCALS with tremendous octave range !!!!!!!!!

Stevie Wonder is Mr Music. A cultural icon. And a body of work almost 60, yes, SIXTY years long.

Your next Stevie Wonder listen - “Livin for the City”

My first wife walked down the aisle in '75 to his You ARE the Sunshine of MY Life! Oh, yeah.... she's still with me !!

Absolutely no computers, no pinching off others, no autotune: simply world class TALENT! (Oh for the old days, says 68 yr old in UK).

Ladies and Gentlemen... National Treasure... Stevie Wonder!

"I Wish" should be next. "Higher Ground" should be after that. Amazeballs grooves on those.

“Livin’ for the City’. Stunning...

Living For The City will blow your mind. His best ever!!

Gotta admit, I was working up some serious "don't make me pull this car over" dad energy if you guys didn't give this an 'S'.

Alex is moving his head just like Stevie!

Thank you for putting this out - Stevie is a gift from God.

Glad you guys are branching out into some Motown sounds....Check out "Poppa Was A Rolling Stone" by the Temptations.....perhaps the best produced track ever recorded.

Please, guys. This is the song that virtually put the Hohner Clavinet D6 on the map. Best. Leo.

Stevie played all instruments except the horns. What a great drummer he is.

Living For The City - Stevie’s greatest song ever. It’s not even close

I must have been a soulful 13 yo kid because I loved this song when I first heard it in 1972. I loved Motown and other R & B music. "Higher Ground" would be an excellent next choice. And yes, Stevie plays a Moog synth much in the same way Ray Manzarek of The Doors, Keith Emerson of ELP fame and Rick Wakeman of Yes. These keyboardists have such command of their left hands that they can hold their own on a song, and even take over a tune!! Stevie Wonder is the real deal!! 💜❤❤

Do Living for the City next- and make sure it’s the long version- guaranteed to blow ur minds

Check out the early 1970s clip of Stevie performing this live on the set of Sesame Street. A badass triumph of television history.

Back around 1972 I’ll got tickets to see the Rolling Stones. I was super excited. Stevie Wonder opened for the Stones and he absolutely blew me away, not only with the complexity of his music but the fact that he played so many different instruments as well. I hate to say it but when the Stones came out and played... they were totally anti-climatic after Stevie Wonder. I was disappointed with the Rolling Stones (imagine that!) but Stevie Wonder totally made the night. He’s amazing!!

The live on Sesame Street version is also amazing. I am in awe of that sound engineer. The dancing kids were sooo fun. And of s course, Stevie and the band.

In the words of Eddie Murphy: "Stevie Wonder is a musical genius!"

My high school days--when AM radio played EVERYTHING. When a Stevie/Jimi/Glen Campbell/CCR /Stones block was the norm.

Everyone over 50 already knows he's a musical genius.

Seeing youngsters listening to this level of music -- Stevie Wonder is musical royalty -- and appreciating it gives me a sense of wonderful warm comfort. His entire catalogue is worth attention!

One of the things I love about Stevie is that when he sings and he ornaments his melody, you never feel like he's showing off his pipes. He always serves the song.

Being Black Blind and a Piano player Motown first marketed him as Little Stevie Wonder, a Ray Charles knock off, he was just 11 when they signed him. It didn't take long for his genius to shine thru, and the Motown formula to fall by the wayside. He is brilliant and does not get enough airplay these days.

I see someone else wrote "Living For The City" as the next possible Stevie Wonder reaction. Couldn't agree more! This was his funk phase, and as you already noticed, he's very good at it. It was the soundtrack to my youth.

Superstition is a timeless jam. I'm jealous you're hearing it for the first time just today. Find Higher Ground, listen to it, take a sip and enjoy.

His impact/influence on music cannot be overstated. The term genius is thrown around far too frequently, but not when it comes to Mr Stevie Wonder. And he’s playing every instrument ( except for Guitar which is the great Jeff Beck.l I forgot about that! )

My wife is in shock that you guys never heard this before. Lol!! Epic song. Next has to be Livin’ For the City, Higher Ground, and Sir Duke. Many more hits but these you’ll dig.

"That Girl" by Stevie is a treat. It was a huge hit in the '80s.

Saw Stevie opening for the Stones concert back in the 70s, a true legend in every respect.

"The correct answer is always the longer one." That's what she said.

I heard this song so many times on the radio that I got sick of it. And then I heard it for the first time with headphones and it's like hearing it for the first time.

You will be blown away by anything from Stevie guys, absolutely anything.

Next for Stevie: “ You Haven’t Done Nothin’”. The intro alone will funkicize you body and soul..

lest we forget he's been blind since birth and can play 10 instruments.....he can tell you about colors being blind better than you can looking at the color.....songs in the key of life is all you need to join him in music appreciation....this guy is a genius.....has 40 grammy's ....his talets are endless.....a big part of my life from the 60's til now

A&A, love horn's? Stevie's "Sir Duke" is next for you!! Stevie is the GOAT's GOAT!!

Wow. As an old guy I've never been impressed with "reactions" to songs I know well. But Andy and Alex are letting me find joy by hearing songs with new ears. Thank you, guys!!

Stevie played the drums, calvinet, other keyboards, bass. Everything.

The great Jeff Beck messing around on the drums in the studio. Stevie says , keep playing that.....and joins in and the rest is history !!

"Golden Lady" off Innervisions is smooth and saucy

This album is a must have for any collection. It’s unbelievable !

"Everyone knew what they were doing. They played for the song." Thing is, "everyone" was Stevie and two horn players. Stevie plays drums and keys (synth bass, and clavinets).

Please check out live from daryls house. Everyone from smokey Robinson to joe Walsh. They go there to jam. No rehearsal. You have to be a bad ass too get invited.

The „Songs in the key of live“ album is a legendary milestone of pop music. On par with „Highway 61 revisited“ , „Abbey Road“ or „Dark side of the moon“. The world of music would not be the same without the genius of Stevie Wonder. He is one of the greatest of all times. And i mean ALL times.

Living for the City is another must hear!

I've seen a number of guitar gods do covers of this song (including both SRV and Jeff beck), and despite being a guitarist myself, they just always come up short. That clavinet sound is just so key to this song.

Next: LIVIN' FOR THE CITY !!! from his masterpiece Innervisions.

"Georgia On My Mind" was best recorded by Ray Charles.

Stevie was an absolute beast, and it was about much, much more than the sick grooves and technical brilliance; he also had some important things to say --dig, f'rinstance, "Living for the City" for a headful of that...

Stevie Wonder you can start from childhood to adulthood and hear pure genius 😃

Stevie's voice is it's own instrument....he's a virtuoso. He's on the Mt. Rushmore of pop.A couple of my favorites from junior high school. (yes I'm old) "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing", "Boogie On Reggae Woman".

Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life" is quite possibly the greatest double album ever produced. IMO.

Stevie was/is incomparable in rhythm, vocals and writing. His is a deep ocean to dive into. As for great organ playing, may I humbly suggest looking at Billy Preston's career. He played with the best bands, always elevating their work. He's been called the fifth Beatle for his keyboard work on their later releases. Great analysis as always, guys! You have trained ears that don't miss much. 👍👍

This was my first album purchase at the age of 10, 1972. Love every single song. Thank you for bringing it back and enjoying Stevie so much 🥰🙏🏻. He is in the fabric of my life.

Now try the “heavier” version by Beck, Bogert & Appice. By the way, I’m so old, I remember when Stevie Wonder first arrived on the scene as”Little Stevie Wonder!”

Check out “Don’t You Worry ‘bout a Thing” off of his Innervisions LP. He puts some Latin in his Soul. Love his rapping to a Latina in the intro trynna impress her with his Spanish. Todo ‘sta bien chévere

LOVE me Stevie Wonder!! My all-time favorite....though its very hard to pick......is "I Was Made to Love Her". That song still makes me cry....his vocals!!!

Gotta hear “Living for the City”, I Wish”, “Don’t ya Worry about a thing”, All in Love is Fair”. So many amazing songs - and most of them S-Tier!!!!!!

Glad to see this. Gotta get into more early 70’s R&B, Isley Bros., Sly, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, and more Stevie. It will open up a whole new world if music.

Jeff Beck was over at the studio where he was adding some guest guitar work to the Talking Book album, and Stevie was going to write Beck a song in payment. Beck started fooling around on the drums, and came up with the drum part. Stevie joined in on keyboards (clavinet), and wrote the rest of the song. Wonder's management said there was no way Stevie was going to give that song away. There is a RU-vid video of Beck, Bogert, and Appice performing the song later, where Beck starts the song off using a talk box. Beck and Wonder perform it together at the Rock and Roll 25th Anniversary Concert.

One of the last Musical Geniuses left on this Earth. You guys have to do more Stevie Wonder songs. He was 12 years old when he had his first hit

Visions in our Minds...or...I Always Start to Cry...or...Master Blaster...or...My Cherie Amor... 7 DECADES of music from this man!! ...You Are the Sunshine of my life...Higher Ground...

Stevie Wonder is a musical genius!

This is one of those songs that can be recognized before the first note is played. That is how distinctive that drum beat is.

About time you are doing this song and more Mr. Wonder!A legendary song !👍🏻❤️☮️ Back In The day whenever Steve put an album out in the early 1970’s he took almost all the Grammy Awards!🎹🎤🎼

Here's a foursome of songs that each deserve to be reviewed soon: "Love Is The Drug" by Roxy Music "Good Morning Judge" by 10cc "20th Century Boy" by T Rex "Late in the Evening" by Paul Simon

Live version of Stevie Wonder "Living For The City" is too damn good.

A collaboration of Stevie Wonder and Jeff Beck....how could it not be a monster?

A Hohner Clavinet is the instrument used for the main riff. It plucks strings with a plectrum like a harpsichord or clavichord, but has electric pickups. Stevie played all the instruments except the horns, including a Moog for the bass, and the drums. One of the greatest songs ever from his best period; early to mid-seventies. Try "You Haven't Done Nothing (aimed at Pres. Nixon over his handling of the Viet Nam war)", "Maybe Your Baby" (nastiest, funkiest riff ever), "Higher Ground", "You Are the Sunshine of My Life (his best ballad)" "Don't You Worry About a Thing", "Boogie on Reggae Woman", "I Wish" and "Sir Duke (tribute to jazz great Duke Ellington)". The man was absolutely en fuego for about 5 or 6 years! Thanks and keep going with Stevie! Peace from SF

So happy to see you two listen to Stevie on your channel, he’s one of my favorite artists of all time! The more you listen the more you’ll love.

Next up..."As" by Stevie Wonder. It'll knock your socks off.

This song and Master Blaster such classics , Sir Duke or I Wish , masterpieces

Yester-Me Yester-You Yesterday is one of my faves of Stevie's got to do that one sometime

stevie wonder played drums,"moog"bass,and the hohner clavinet which sort of sounds like a harpsichord !!!!!!!!!!!! stevie wonder BROUGHT ALL THE RACES AND CREEDS TOGETHER IN SUCH "HARMONIC" UNITY !!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,,,also from that album check out "lookin' for another pure love" where jeff beck plays guitar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stevie Wonder is a friggin’ Legend. He couldn’t write a bad song if he tried. “Living In The City”. 🎹🎶❤️

Just so you know, the clavinet jammed through a wah wah was first done by Garth Hudson in The Band, Cripple Creek.

I’ve always loved the drums in this song. They are prominent but do not overwhelm the rest of the instruments. Stevie is a once in a lifetime talent and there are too many great songs to list here. Living for the City, Sir Duke, and Higher Ground are a great start.
