Stevie Wonder & Sting You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

They all ready have. Stevie, played on Sting's, "Brand New Day" album. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

Yeah, he played harmonica on this song: You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Thanks for sharing that sublime video of Stevie covering "Fragile". Sting you lucky bastard! To have Stevie bless your song live w/a live performance and a harmonica solo is special [Edited 7/2/12 8:43am] | |

2 of my favorites Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

thank you for posting!Fragile was awesome
I went through a Sting-hating period, but damn if that song does not sound like something off of Innervisions of Talking Book.
And I like that Stevie sings it pretty straight and doesn't overdo it My Legacy

Yeah, Stevie pretty much put on a clinic for singers who want to learn how to interpret someone else's song with restraint.
Beautiful rendition. Although he didn't overdo it, his vocals still dripped with soul without getting too much sauce on your fingers. | |

Yeah, how awesome to have Stevie come out and say "I love this song!" and then give a beautiful rendition of your song? Both wonderful. I LOVE Sting! "Fragile" would be under the category of "perfect song" (one of the active threads here).
