bnt Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I sometimes use the [url="http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/site/music-plus"]creation b3ta[/url] music search service. Good for finding if other have put a particular song online, and that appears to be the case [url="http://www.thenovelsound.org/files/dance/BSDmuzzik/Stevie%20Wonder%20-%20Superstition.mp3"]here[/url].

The Burpster Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thank you all, I'm being sent it as a file in an email thanks... the links you posted above (thanks) just open up a player in Quicktime, from which I have too high a protection level to download them as shareware or seperate MP3 files. I had my bank account hacked into a few years ago and now only use Linux based software. Thanks for your efforts tho' bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame this on Linux itself... I didn't know you could get QuickTime on Linux, but if I had it, I would rip it out it, if it's anything like as awful as QuickTime on Windows.

I thought Stevie wrote the song for Jeff as 'payment' for guesting on one of his albums but was told it was too good a song to give away![/quote] The way Jeff tells it, he and Stevie were jamming when Jeff stumbled across that riff. Then the story goes that Stevie took that riff and wrote the entire song within the space of about 10 minutes. Jeff played on one of the tunes on [i]Talking Book[/i], which Stevie's version of [i]Superstition[/i] was on. Around the same time Jeff was recording his album with Bogert and Appice. Stevie had agreed with Jeff that the BBA version would be the single. When Berry Gordy heard Stevie's version he overruled Stevie and said it was such a good song that it had to be released as a single. As [i]Talking Book[/i] came out in '72 and I think [i]BBA[/i] came out in '73, BBA's single was kind of taken away from them. I know that Stevie played keyboards on the entire BBA album but his parts were deleted. I'm not sure if he played keyboards on it before or after the agreement was broken - or if the deletion happened before or after - and whether to read anything into it anyway. Stevie did then "give" Jeff two songs for [i]Blow By Blow[/i]: [i]'Cause We've Ended As Lovers[/i] and [i]Thelonius[/i]. I've heard from places that he did that to try to make up for it. The trouble is when you read or hear things fifth or sixth hand it's hard to tell what's actually true and what's made up BS. Neither version is a cover though as both were recorded before either was released (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
