Ran across this rare concert video of SW in concert in Brazil and wanted to share. Stevie performs an incredible version of If You Really Love Me. Hope you enjoy.

P.S. Can anyone identify the background girl group and the title of the last song that he performs?

That's awesome, great find! I've seen clips of this before, but never the whole thing. Thanks.

No problem. I thought there might be a few SW fans out there who would appreciate this great piece. Stevie's vocals are tight, the background singers are on point and the band is even tighter. Does anyone know if this was his usual touring band? Quite a lot of musicians in this group.

The background singers look and sound like Terry Hendricks, Sundray Tucker, and Lynda [[Tucker) Laurence. Not sure about the band.

Are his background singers the group known as Wonderlove?

Glad you enjoyed it! I was glued to my computer screen watching the clip. My favorite Stevie period is from '67-72 so this was like a relevation to me.

Stevie pulled out all the stops for those folks down there in Brazil! Dang, I bet some of them
still remember it to this day. I couldn't place the girls but I'll take rod's word for it. I do know
so many singers passed through Wonderlove it ain't even funny...Minnie Riperton and Denise Williams among them...

I knew Denise had been in Wonderlove, I didn't know that Minnie Riperton was a member as well. Does anyone know if Stevie ever recorded the group?

I remember reading in Billboard circa 1973 that Stevie Wonder was producing an LP for Wonderlove, but the album was never released.
