Stevie Wonder on "Sesame Street"

Oh, to be able to go back to the Seventies... woot!

Stevie's appearance on the longtime children's show produced some serious gems.


Here's his take on the show's theme.





Here he's doing a long, killer version of "Superstition."




And, yeah, the guitarist over his right shoulder is a young Ray Parker Jr. cool

That is my ABSLOUTE fave live moment from Steveland. I ripped the per4mances and saved it in my Ipod.

The vamp @ the end of "Superstition" is a trip and 1/2,,,,,you could almost believe he saw what they're playing @ some point(the moment he shouted hey!).

The red sweater kid was raising madhouse hell lol go 'head headbang

Stevie is the man forever. fro

I agree, that was when Sesame Street was TRULY the shit. nod They showed a little bit of that on the shows I watched when I was a kid. Roger Troutman said he was influenced to use the talkbox after seeing Stevie do it.
