I would just like 2 say im a huge fan of Stevie.Ofcourse.he has to be one of the best talents from the Mowtown.When i listened 2 his 2005 album titled A Time 2 Love its nice to see he's still got it! Stevie i think has a great gift not just musicaly but vocaly.He has a joyfulness to him and makes u feel that when he sings. Even when he sings songs that are political or about love threw his amazing voice you can really feel his hurt,sadness or urgency and this whats puts him above most other artists.I think most importantly this is what what makes Stevie the legend that he is

Please share your on views on this great artist - peace

Stevie

What can I say that hasn't been said about this man. He's one of the reasons why i've ever loved music in the first place. This is truly my ultimate musical hero.

My favorite album of all-time:

saw him in Detroit in September. he made me a fan. i'd always liked him, but i absolutely adored him after that. it was a really incredible show and i'm so glad we decided to go at the last minute.

I love Stevie so much.

My fave song by him is 'Boogie On Reggae Woman'

I wish he would tour Europe this year. It's 20 years this year since I last saw him in concert

Man, that Stevie vid was smokin' hot Funkenstein!

Do you know any of the other players names?

Ray Parker Jr. on guitar, dunno about the rest.

Oh, since Nathan Watts has been playing bass with Stevie for ages, it might be safe to assume that's him on bass.

Yep!

I would put it in my top ten. I went on a vinyl dig last month and this
one was on sale for 10 dollars where as the other vinyl lp's were 2 and
3 dollars. The album had the original lyrics and the bonus 45.
Did i make a mistake in not getting it? I betcha if i went to that same store
tomorrow i would not get it.

SoulAlive said:

I think Innervisions is a notch above Songs, but you can't lose with either one. An icon of American music.

Anyone ever heard the Howard Stern interview? Stevie had me rolling. He's known for being a prankster, and he fit right in with Stern. Howard's always been a fan.

Stevie is easily my second fav artist of the 70's (Bowie is the Nº1)

Nevertheless, is it just me or most of his 60's albums are somewhat uneven?

You shoulda got it!! It's hard to find an original vinyl copy that comes with the bonus 45.I have a vinyl copy,but the 45 is missing But hey,at least I got the massive lyric book that came with it.

I think it's just about time for another SITKOL appreciation thread.

AlexdeParis said:

I've been quit to point out how Stevie's voice has gone to hell over the past decade. But he sounded like gold during the concert!! I guess all the touring, and inspiration from Mama, will do that for you.
What was funny, though, was that Stevie hit a big sour note during "If It's Magic", and all he did was laugh, crack a joke, and finish the song as beautifully as he had started it.

Adisa said:

Would have been funnier if he had danced a ho-down instead.

Adisa said:

Yes, he sounded surprisingly good.

He sounded in great voice when he introduced Alicia Keys last night!
Nailed the high note of her song with ease when she couldn't even sing it herself during the performance haha..

When a dude can hit the high notes of a lasses song AND sound beautiful doing it, you know he got skills!

You all know that he get an Hall of Fame award at the NAACP Image Awards this Thursday on Valentine's Day. Can't wait for that!

I saw him last year in concert, and met him last night at the Grammys! I've been a life-long fan of his and have seen him in concert about four or five times. He is truly amazing!

This is me and Stevie, last night!

Nice pic of you and Stevie, June.

Stevie is a true music legend. Be sure y'all see him get inducted to the NAACP Hall of Fame this Thursday on Fox.

he will be at the Jazz Fest
in New Orleans this year...
him, Allen Toussaint, MAZE (of course)
some GREAT acts
I plan on going

Stevie!



I sound like the hugest dork for this, but I adore that song he did with 98 Degrees for the Mulan soundtrack, True to Your Heart. It makes me feel so completely happy and joyous, words can't describe.
