Two Stevie's causing lightning to strike along with Jody Watley. This was recorded for an MTV special in the early 90s. Stevie Ray's rhythm comping and fills are nasty beyond belief.
Stevie Ray sings the first chorus, Stevie Wonder the second, and Jody Watley the third.
Best performance I've ever heard of "Superstition". Seeing video for it is a bonus and makes it even more fun.

Theres so much you can say about Stevie, he's a legend, he's an icon, and he's just so damned good. He turns 58 today so i figured MOG could show him a little love.
If you have a favorite song by Mr. Wonder (and you should), post the song link or Youtube video inside.
I'm posting "Overjoyed", because I think it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...

Doing a bit of research, I found that this was correct - The original song was called Pastime Paradise... MORE

Went to DJ Spinna and Bobitto's Wonderful (A Dance Party Tribute to Stevie Wonder) party last night! This party has been running for about 10 years and I think I went to the very first one back then and hadn't been to one since until last year when I went and left early after becoming sick from something I ate earlier that day. Anyway, I'm 38; which isn't that old by today's standards but I always think I'm too old for everything; so I wouldn't normally go to the wonder... MORE
I felt compelled to post this song...just in case you forgot...
