Easily the best Stevie Wonder cover of all time, IMHO. Don't shoot me, but I think they surpass Stevie's!

They come pretty damn close!! One of my all time favourite vocal groups. I have collected all their albums on cd and they never let me down. I reckon this is at the very least as good as the original. Awesome stuff.

Absolutely. Stevie's original is, of course, brilliant, but there's something so lush, warm and evocative about TMI's arrangement that gives them the edge for me. [[I know that that may be heresy in these parts!) One of my brothers is also a major TMI fan who's followed them in concert and collected all the albums as well.

The original lead singer was Don McPherson on the recording. He was an excellent singer. He is at his best on the album "Black Seeds".

Thank you as well, Marv. Before I saw the clip, I assumed Cuba was singing lead. "Black Seeds Keep On Growing" was and is still one of my jams; makes me wanna grow a 'fro again! 😁
