That is so cool - I remember years ago working in a supermarket and they had this crappy musak on all the time. If Safeway play Stevie Wonder then I will stop complaining about their elevated prices :) |

Proclivities wrote: I wholly disagree. This is a great song from a great album. I'm not sure if you know what "muzak" actually was, or just feel like throwing that term out there, but muzak (or "elevator music" as some other "critics" here have mentioned) sounded absolutely nothing like this. This song has a complex melody and structure and Stevie's vocals are fantastic on this recording. Well, we all hear different things, I guess.
I second what Proclivities wrote. Well put and my thoughts exactly. When I was a kid...I didn't think much of SW's music, but now as a seasoned musician and songwriter myself, I totally appreciate the detail and energy along with melody and performance this song has to offer. |

Wow. Just realized why this man became a super star. Classic tune. So much substance here in every aspect.
