There are lots of songs a half century old that are still very popular with audiences of all ages. Those are the songs that keep me performing every day.

Cheers,

Just got around to watching the Stevie Wonder Tribute show which I recorded. Great show, great music, great talent. Great renditions of most of Stevie's greatest hits. Beyoncé was fabulous (and I'm not really a super fan), especially re-creating Stevie's first hit, 'Fingertips'. Don't know if they'll rebroadcast it but if you missed it and get another chance to see it, you'll be in for a musical treat.

chas ... unfortunately, I only got to see the last half or so ...great talent, great music ... clap clap clap

BTW ... I remember hearing in a recording of "Fingertips" that when Stevie started to take an encore solo, some band member was asking "What key, what key" ...
I found this on the I'net :

"The original bass player had already left the stage and Joe Swift, the bass player for the Marvelettes was already on stage, when Stevie started playing again. That's him saying "What key?". That's soul music for you! :)"

Great stuff ...

I'm finding this true as well...even with the 1960's generation, of which I'm a part.

I grew up with rock and roll, big amps and loud music. Seems the folks I know from my generation will still listen to some of those old rock and roll songs but want them more subdued. And many are now interested in more 'laid back' music.

My wife and I laugh at the fact that as kids, we were forced to listen to Lawrence Welk. Now, both of us, in our 60's, enjoy listening once in a while to those songs and Lawrence Welk on PBS. By the way, good ol' Lawrence is from our part of the country.

Most of the background is the BK7m style (drums, bass, piano, background organ) with the other parts (strings, horns) overdubbed using Fantom G7, Background vocals near end from Roland VP770, and melody (I can't sing - I could if I had Donny's voice.....and my soul smile )on the KeyB organ. Not exactly like the original but I think it comes pretty close. If you've got a BK7m or BK9, try it.

Yep, she's definitely got the soul. I'm surprised she's not better known (internationally). Another interesting version is by Gov't Mule.

A heck of a lot of people have covered this song, though probably not too many from SZ smile.
