Stevie Wonder's Peformance Of MJ's "I Can't Help It" On Quincy Jones Tribute I don't know if there's been a thread on this, but did anybody see Sir Stevie Wonder perform Michael Jackson's classic ballad "I Can't Help It"(a song he co-wrote) on the Quincy Jones tribute show on BET in January? That was the main highlight of the show to me. Stevie gave a jazz rendition of it.
His solo on piano was fantastic (I wanted him to solo for at least another 3 to 4 minutes at least  ). He was just getting started on his solo, but of course, due to time constraints, he had to cut it short. Stevie said a couple of years ago that he is planning to record a jazz record. This performance hinted at what a jazz recording from him might sound like. Awesome stuff!!!
Did anyody see this performance in January? Brother 9/15 [Edited 2/16/05 4:47am] | |

I witnessed a Donny-Roberta tribute pre4mance by Stevie & Chaka singing his own penned song "You're My Heaven"(Which was a big hit in 79 by Roberta & Donny).
Stevie RE-composed the song and put a Brazillian jazz/Afro-Cuban Jazz treatment to it with Paulinho Da Costa leading the percussionists section. He said at the end that he's going to record it with Chaka in the studio. | |

I think he's more than capable of composing and performing a pure jazz album, but I'd like for it to be with new original music. | |
