bubinga5 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) i think this man deserves his own thread.ive been listening to him all day at work... all the Polish were loving it.. dancing around they were.. I like to think Stevie is universal..most people like him and his music. even if your not into soul/pop etc.... just wondered what your favorite Stevie tune is.. i have every album hes ever done including the secret life of plants... there are so many i love, like AS, Do i Do (which is incredible) but i dig these not so well known classics.. Black Man [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEoE2UQXduA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEoE2UQXduA[/url] All i do.. Just adore this track..

Super Woman [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2lNf2WHxeI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2lNf2WHxeI[/url] What a f***ing track this is.. wonderful Stevie vocals..

lowdown Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) To be honest, there are to many to list for me. Like you i have just about everything he has done. The [b]Talking Book[/b] album gets a lot of play on my systems. Really love this track from that. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H--_-gPX3Nw&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H--_-gPX3Nw...feature=related[/url] The guy is just superb all round, and as they say 'It don't get any better than that' Good topic Bubinga, Garry Edited June 11, 2011 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceH Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 His funk stuff is great of course! But for the more tuneful tunes, Superwoman, Bird of Beauty, Smile Please, Big Brother, Golden Lady are all beautiful. Special mention to A Seed's a Star and Send One Your Love since they're awesome tracks hidden on a relatively unpopular album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Rocket Love and As if you read my mind are my faves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawtooth Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Top thread! As I'm sitting here, trying to cherry pick Stevie tunes out of my vinyl / CD's, I've put on 'Songs In The Key Of Life' and got no futher! (quite a moving video, someone has compiled) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMech Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm not sure if this is within the rules, but I'll post it anyway! Absolutely love this cover of As, done by the ever brilliant Gene Harris: so much funk there should be a warning label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - just looked on the Youtube site, Jerry Peters on vox, and Harvey Mason on drums. And talking of Harvey Mason - by looking at his Facebook page, there seems to be a new album brewing with George Benson.
