bubinga5 Posted June 11, 2011 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..

lowdown Posted June 11, 2011 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
LawrenceH Posted June 11, 2011 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
crez5150 Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Rocket Love and As if you read my mind are my faves. Quote

risingson Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 BB, the first two tunes you listed are two of my favourites, I also love As and all the early Motown tunes. I love his ballads as well, Lately is just a brilliant piece of music! Quote

Sawtooth Posted June 11, 2011 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
bubinga5 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) i thought this thread would be popular.. Have a talk with god is a wonderful tune Sawtooth... good call Edited June 11, 2011 by bubinga5 Quote
ZMech Posted June 11, 2011 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

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.

Sawtooth Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Are we on to covers already??? (but that Gene Harris was wonderful ) Totally away from the flow, but still a great cover version... (check out Flea's pants! ) and now, back to the program ... Quote
bubinga5 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 no but if its good its on.. anything Stevie is good here.. Quote
TimR Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 +1 But... It took two pages on a bass player forum to get to Higher Ground? Man we're slipping. Quote
