Stevie Wonder


i found this early recording of stevie wonder's on youtube.  it's one of my favorite songs, which i first heard played by sonny rollins, but i love the lyrics, so it's nice to hear a vocalist sing it as well.  it's interesting to hear him at such a young age in a sort of transitional style between popular jazz and soul.  on a side note, thinking of tenor saxophonists and stevie wonder, someone once told me that they heard stevie wonder sit in with someone and play john coltrane's giant steps and that he sounded great.  impressive, stevie.
