This is a rare 30-minute special from 1976 that shows Stevie Wonder and friends at Long View Farm promoting his 1976 classic double-album, Songs In The Key Of Life. I haven't seen all of it yet, but this is an interesting one. All Stevie fans should see this one!

is this were they dress this grown ass man in a cowboy outfit ?

Yep, and this special just shows how big the album was back in the day...

I remember seeing the still photos of this promotion, cool thanks.

It keeps timing out on me , probably have wait to see it.

You have to have a recent version of Realplayer!

I got chills watching this special!! Those journalists were so LUCKY,being able to hang out with Stevie and hear 'SITKOL' before it was released to the public.That is my favorite album of all time,it's just so magical.Motown knew that,with this album,they had to do something really big to promote it.This was a perfect way to introduce the album to the media and to the world.

One thing's for sure,this wasn't your average listening party

No expense was spared here.They had lots of food,champagne,beer and I noticed that several people even brought their children.

Really nice!

One of the best albums ever made, but y'all remember that Eddie Murphy "Shut up, Steve!" routine? There were moments there when I knew what he meant . I prefer hearing Steve sing than talk.

That's pretty much how I feel about Prince.

Thanks for that file. I love Stevie.
The narrator kinda creeps me out, though.

Thanx for posting this. Interesting to see the vid for an album that I love dearly.

When I watching this video,I was thinking "What an exciting time it was".It was September 1976 and Stevie Wonder was at the peak of his powers.The world was going crazy waiting for this album,release dates had come and gone.This was an EVENT.Just think,the album will be celebrating it's 30th anniversary next month.

At the beginning,when they're showing the farm and you hear the narrator talking,it looks like the beginning of a horror flick,doesn't it?
