I heard he covered "You're My Heaven" with Chaka Khan live back in 98, he re-arranged the live version giving it the Brazillian jazz treatment with Miss Khan scatting at the end. | |

Yeah, I must admit, that IS a monster tune... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Me, too. The way Stevie spaced out the time between the verses and the chorus keeps you intrigued the entire song. 
Also (even though it was on his album), I think Syreeta's take on "Come Back As A Flower" is one of the most beautiful ballads Stevie has ever written and to add to my list "Harmour Love" by Syreeta as well.  [This message was edited Mon Apr 12 12:46:44 2004 by okaypimpn] | |

Haven't heard about them "covering" one of his songs  , but I do know that Twinkie (the sister who writes, produces and plays keyboards for the group) was inspired by Stevie's "Master Blaster (Jammin')" to write their hit "You Brought The Sunshine." She has also stated that Stevie Wonder is her favorite songwriter/musician.  | |

[This message was edited Tue Apr 13 7:25:15 2004 by okaypimpn] I believe Stevie's version was 1967, although it was never a hit... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |
