Logged in to give this a 10. . . but I already had. 

I have loved this track for so many years and it does not tire. In the future, when I am too old to jiggle around to it, I will hire a nurse to dance it for me.

I believe I like "I Believe" much more.

I always like the ones you never hear anymore.

OK, what was I thinking when I bought his albums? "Gee, this guy is blind, I hate his music, but I'll buy them anyway because I feel sorry for him" or "F***, this is some of the funkiest shit I've ever heard in my LIFE, I wanna have those records!"
The last statement was hammered home when I went to his concert last year and was overwhelmed by the sheer power of the music, not by the fact that the guy on stage couldn't see me.
So basically your comment is shortsighted, to say the least.

 
Touché!  {#Clap}

How long ago did this fecker actually post?  People try to realise the point has been made and comprehensively.  Now can we just let it be now and stop reposting that nonsense.  Let's stick to the comment i think i post every time a song from this album is on which is just what a completely freakin godlike album Songs in the key of life is.

I recently saw a blue ray disc of a concert of Stevie in 2008 and I must say that he totally blew me away! One of the best musicians and talent of the 20th and 21st century. I wish I could remember the name of the show, they were playing in London if that helps.

Wowwww. Some amazingly small minded comments on this song. WTF!?!

Stevie Wonder knows how to lay down a funky groove better than people who can see just fine. His blindless has nothing to do with the awesomeness of his music.
