Interesting, but nearly 4 years old -
As a side note, Stevie has [[at least) two songs from the '70s that still speak volumes today; "He Misstra Know-It-All" [[from Innervisions) & "You Haven't Done Nothing" [[from Fulfillingness' First Finale).
Old-ish clip. Stevie has been quieter since his kidney dialysis in September [[he's doing great though, think he sang at Conyers' funeral last month).
Good choices. I've actually always thought of Stevie as quite political, even as early as 'A Place In The Sun' and his cover of 'Blowin' In The Wind'. AndQuote:

He sang Mr. Conyers favorite Stevie song, "My Cherie Amour". It was great.Quote:

Totally! You know, I wished you do a thread on your experiences working for that large chain record store. Maybe put it in the clubhouse. I am sure all of us could relate.Quote:

That's my favourite Stevie wonder track.Quote:
