Motown and Cancelled 'Releases'

[paul_nixon]

I was referring to the song All I Do Is Think About You. Sorry if that part was unclear. On DFTMC under the song there's an entry saying that SW recorded a version, dates unknown, but produced by Clarence Paul.
Have you heard Stevie's earlier version? And do you know if he recorded a studio version of The Tears of a Clown?

Stevie Wonder; recording details unknown ; produced by Clarence Paul

29-Sep-80; LP [[S): Tamla T373M1 Hotter Than July
12-Oct-05; MP3 [[S): UMC Digital Release The Complete Stevie Wonder

I think that maybe the reference to Stevie here is to the Hotter Than July version and maybe the gremlins crept in but other paperwork shows no indication that Stevie ever recorded that track until the HTJ project.

Similarly although Tears was assigned to Stevie again there's no evidence of a vocal by him. I always say when it comes to Motown 'never say never' but in the case of these two tracks I think it's pretty likely they would have surfaced by now.
