I'll fall in love with you Stevie, circa '72 with that fringed vest and no shirt underneath you used to wear.

I like Art Garfunkels cover of this but the original is still the best..

Wow, I thought I might be the only person ever to have heard that. It's quite dreamy compared to this but I have to say, Art did good. I still prefer this, but then I heard this first.

I can't listen to this song without thinking of "High Fidelity".


+1. The first time I became aware of it. Great soundtrack!

Say, that's a nice brown velvet Kaftan Stevie is wearing. Where can I get me one of those?

I heard Art's version first from an album I was given as a gift years ago...didn't even realize it was Stevie's tune. I love them both, but have a soft spot for Art's version. Lovely tune.

You'd think they could have found a grassy meadow (or?) for the cover pic. I mean really, "Sit here in the rocks and dirt Stevie, and we'll snap a few shots for the cover. Time is money!" (OK, so maybe they're making a statement of some sort.) Great album nonetheless.

I believe this is a beach. Those aren't sea oats in the background, but they have a maritime look about them.

Hard to rate this less than a 9 and very tempting to rate it a 10! A classic by one of the most gifted singers of the past 50 years.

Hearing Stevie Wonder's stuff when I was a kid, I couldn't fully appreciate how this was much more than just a bunch of catchy pop tunes. There's a lot of music from the seventies that's just achingly dreadful to listen to now, but I'm glad to say that my affection for his work keeps growing.

Uugghh! Another example of an outstanding song nearly - but not quite - ruined by the wedding industrial complex. This and the "Wonderful World" cover by the poor, unfortunately obese Hawaiian man who ate himself to death. Who wants to add to this list?

IMO, two of the best streaks of albums come from Stevie Wonder and The Rolling Stones. Each had 4 or 5 albums in a row that are still untouchable to this day.

...makes me tear up every time I hear it, and you can't really give a song higher praise than that. I'm not that crazy about the funked-up ending, actually - feel it diminishes the overall effect. But his singing is so strong here. Great, great love song.

Great song. Great album. Stevie had a pretty long period there where just about everything he put out was high quality. Both critically acclaimed and popular.
