When one is called upon to define musical genius, few would have any difficulty associating Stevie Wonders' creativity with the term. His ability to "see" the world's ugly inhabitants as well as the world's beautifulness and then transcribing what he has "seen" is nothing short of genius. My first contact with this genius was back in the early 70's. Even though I remembered such songs as "Fingertips", "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Sylvia", it wasn't until the release of Where I'm Coming From and Music of My Mind that I came to realize that in the embodiment of Stevie was exactly "where I was coming from". It was like he was writing words from my mind and putting them to music. Stevie represented, during that time period, my emotional self. He represented in the words More... (Submit New Stevie Wonder Lyrics) (Submit New Stevie Wonder Lyrics) Stevie Wonder a genius | Reviewer: Anthony Whelan ------ About the album Fulfillingness' First Finale performed by Stevie Wonder Stevie Wonder was my hero. The first time I heard Stevie Wonder was in 1974. My brother had just bought a new stereo system and a few Stevie Wonder albums. Higher Ground was playing: I was hooked. The next album I listened to was Talking Book, and then Fulfillingness' First Finale. All my friends were into white rock bands, and didn't like my taste in black music, as they put it. I didn't care, and I lost a few friends. Fulfillingness' First Finale is a very good album, but there is some crap on it. It has been over thirty years since I first had the album, and probably haven't listened to it in twenty. I had the good fortune to meet Stevie in person, shook his hand and had a few words with him. That was in Melbourne, Australia, in 1979, or was it 1980? I was blown away by how humble he was. The guy's a genius. Stevie is coming back to Melbourne in September this year, but alas, I have a family to support and can't make it.

Hats off Stevie wonder Strong man gets emotional.............. | Reviewer: Ron P ------ About the song Stay gold performed by Stevie Wonder First let me start by saying this is my first blog ever. I have a weird emotional tie with this song for some reason.So here it goes. As I get older I seem to understand the meaning of the song more and more. This song has a special place in my mind and heart. I am not the type of guy that usually gets emotional but this song just puts life into perspective. I wish other people could hear this song as I do and cherish life as it goes by as fast as it is going so whoever reads this stay gold......................... Love the song | Reviewer: Geneva ------ About the song You and I performed by Stevie Wonder I first heard this song You and I on the sitcom Good Times when Michael sung it at Thelma's wedding. It may be old school as some would say, but it's a beautiful song for a wedding. I saw a wedding on you tube, where the bride walked down the isle singing the song, when she was almost to the alter the groom began to sing. It was different, but the bride and groom could really sing. Fake samba. | Reviewer: Olendino ------ About the song Bird of Beauty performed by Stevie Wonder Stevie Wonder was ever a great fan of brazilian music. In "Bird of beauty" he tried to recreate the images and happiness of brazilian carnival. There are some verses written in Portuguese (by Sergio Mendes) that say: "Tudo bem você deve descansar a sua mente, Não faz mal o que vai acontecer daqui pra frente. Vai cantar a alegria de um sabor bem diferente Com seu coração assim, tão feliz, já vai cantar carnaval." That means: "It's all right, you ought to ease your mind, It doesn't matter what is going to happen. Go, sing your happiness with strong delight with your heart so happy, go sing your carnival." A great song this 50 YO man liked a lot when was a teen. It's so simple. Love. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Just Called to Say I Love You performed by Stevie Wonder I remember my dad playing this in the car when I was a little kid... I loved it. A few years later, I heard it again, and I couldn't get it out of my head. I love it. It's so simple and passionate and romantic. wow!! | Reviewer: sam jr ------ About the song Stay gold performed by Stevie Wonder i first read "The Outsiders" in my english class at school, after reading the novel, we watched the movie as a class. I had to buy the book and the dvd because i enjoyed it so much. This has to be one of my all time favourite movies. I read the poem out at my papa's funeral on the 7th of feb this year, i felt it was all so true. This song reminds me of my papa and i will love it forever. Stay Gold | Reviewer: Emjae ------ About the song Stay gold performed by Stevie Wonder Ah, the end of the movie where Pony reads Johnny's letter always gets me. Johnny is my favorite. And Stevie Wonder wrote this song FOR The Outsiders when they were in the making. So it had a theme song. Stevland Morris Judkins Hardaway is my cousin!!! | Reviewer: charles anthony jones ------ About artist/band Stevie Wonder Stevie Wonder and I are cousins, he & his mom has history of family in Eufaula Alabama , and so do I. We are related through the Jones / Hardaway family tree. Every other year , we hold Jones / Hardaway family reunions. I also share some of the musical talents with my cuz..Ironically , the name of my instrumental project is called "music of my mind" which I play all the instruments through a 16 track sequencer, and I did all the arrangements. I RECENTLY FOUMD OUT THAT Stevie produced an album of the same name years ago What a coincidence !!! I look forward to meeting him in person and sharing my music with him...I will see if my fam ily historian can put me in direct contact with him....He is the greatest songwriter and composer of all time!!!!! stay gold | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Stay gold performed by Stevie Wonder this song is perfect for the outsiders, i dont have the movie but i wabt it, i've read the book i had to and i finsihed the book way ahead i think its amazing.

Great song.... | Reviewer: John Sickel ------ About the song Feeding Off The Love Of The Land performed by Stevie Wonder When I first heard this song i fell in love with it. Grea words from a man who knows how to sing them, I was on the B side of a single, I think either Gotto have it or my eyes dont cry. I have been recently reminded of it, when Kyriesong on youtube coveres it. A great version. Amazing | Reviewer: Dannie ------ About the song Creepin' performed by Stevie Wonder I love this song so much! It's one of my favorites, next to "Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan, although they're both completely different songs! But I could listen to them all day long... Wow it's the best song I've ever heard in my life | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Redemption Song performed by Stevie Wonder Thank's for boarding sort of this gooooooood lylics, coz I'v been finding long time this song's. whether you are a good man or not u'll be blessed by Almighty!!! thank's You haven't done nothing | Reviewer: lisa gerardi ------ About the song You Haven't Done Nothin' performed by Stevie Wonder Explosive, brilliant and amazing song.

Great song | Reviewer: Mooglee ------ About the song I Wish performed by Stevie Wonder Amazing groove in this tune...the bass and electric piano stuff going on in here is just incredible. I have to say, from a pianist's perspective, Stevie plays a lot of black keys...I imagine it's more tactile to do so since he's blind. The main chords of the song are E-flat minor and A-flat major. Great artist as well...sure, he's had some garbage songs, but show me an artist who hasn't, and I'll show you someone who hasn't been around long enough. lariane/the outsiders | Reviewer: laraineeeeeee ------ About the song Stay gold performed by Stevie Wonder i couldnt agree anymore...this song is wonderful for the movie..and the movie is amazing..so is the book..man if i had a time machine i'd surely use it go back in time and kiss ponyboy when he got hurt...oh well.....nothing can ever stay gold...but u gotta try....
