This should have been a single.

Magical ... My heart loves this masterpiece.

The way his vocals push the limits on this and creates the grainy sound is what it’s all about. The red line was not ready for Stevie yet. It couldn’t keep up. It not comparable to anything else.

As impossible a thing it is to have a favorite Stevie Wonder song, this is my favorite song from a Pre-WHERE I'M COMING FROM album.

The flip side to Yesterme, Yesteryou, Yesterday, This song is much better than you met your match( a song I never cared for) plus the string arrangement on this track is gorgeous!

This is just one I cannot stop playing...ever!!!

Four dislikers are fools right now

Amazing song

Love this song, I have it on repeat!!!

Thank you!!!!

I had'nt heard of this until a few days ago. Now it's one of my favorites. Thank you.

this and ain't no lovin are my fav from this album; love the strings and Jamerson and yes henry cosby is so underated

I've played this song 34 times in a row! This is a hit period! I go to tears every time i hear it! Stevie Wonder is a  blessed man! Satan sent the blindness but God gave him this extra ordinary talent! The best part of this is that Stevie is still w/ us

Teddy Gee dude... I'm sitting on the toilet balling right now.

Such a beautiful song. Would you wanna hear my cover of it? I promise you won't be disappointed

Hahaha I started tearing up and went to the comments to see if I'm the only one aaaaand nope

Listening for the 33rd time :-)

preach!

johnniewalker23 you da man Bro love you taste in Music

James is playin his heart out on this track <3

Great song!! Yes, it should have been a hit..

One day I just happened to remember this song and another one. Both were on the "B" side of the "hit" side. Well you connoisseur's of old school music just make me so happy when you make the hard to find music easy. Thank you johnniewalker23 and you too Honey Kone. I'd forgotten it was on the other side of Yester Me Yester Day.

This is a summertime, top down , .  cruisin' by the beach California song !  :)

Thank you Zooey

Oh that Zooey!

Zooey sent me here hahaha !!!!

Zooey Deschanel is such classy gal. <3

zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooey

Stevie was like The Beatles: so much great material, he had to hold back many great songs from becoming singles and simply release them on albums. This was passed over for single release in favour of Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day, You Met Your Match and For Once In My Life, yet it is easily on a par with those great songs. Personally, I enjoy it even more. Perhaps his best up-tempo song from the 60s.

I remember listening to this while preparing for O´level exams in England, 1972. Was totally in love with a girl and this song along with "You´ve been cheating" by The Impressions still touch the nerves today. This is one of the best songs Stevie ever recorded in my opinion

I love this song !

Ths should have been a single.
It was a later B-side.

verry gooood...--..-.

@ElectrickFingers Yeah I had that about-buried somewhere I believe. Totally amazing tracks on it!!

This song has extremely complex production for a song made in the late 60's. It reminds me more of the kind of Acid and Nu Jazz we hear from the mid to late 90's.

The best thing is that this song is still a strong groove today! Stevie transcends Race, genre and time as an artist. Simply the best!

this is such a banger, I could/do bump this every day

The B-side to Yester-Me Yester-you Yesterday. My aunt had this on 45. I FLIPPED IT OVER and I was in love with this one.

lets be honest, any track with jamerson and stevie on it isnt going to be a bad one is it! pure quality

@IDLERACER E-mail me.I majored in theory in college.I can help.

This song had the power to be an "A" side. Was definitely hit material.

The audio was on the weak side, but it had charisma.


A real super soul ballad.

A real treat for the ears, and a sample what the Mottown artist could really do.

I was in High School when this came out. I believe it was the 'b' side of 'my cherie amour'- correct me someone who has the original 45.
I played this song soooooooooo much it had grooves :)

gayle2020 - It was the flip side to Yesterme Yesteryou Yesterday from 1969!

I remember the 1977 remastered (or remixed) version of this song, but it was featured in Stevie's greatest hits album "Looking Back"

Happy 60th Birthday, Stevie!

One of my all-time favorite Stevie Wonder songs! It was the B-side of Yester Me, Yester You, Yester Day.... but, I played this song just as much as the hit song! I really believe this song had enough merit of its own to be a hit.

Jam Jamerson Jam!

@IDLERACER I was thinking the same thing!
Awesome chord changes! Very dramatic.

@Bentom86, who knows? at last the Funk Brothers have gotten their due, so maybe with you tube and other avenues on the web, these producers, writers and engineers will finally get the recognition they deserve...

@tomovox AMEN to all of this!! The movie "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" was an amazing and way overdue tribute to the Funk Brothers, but there really needs to be another film to showcase the producers, writers, & engineers who were also the backbone of "The Motown Sound".

I have loved this song for years! Thanks!!!

this is a really pretty song by stevie wonder.
i have it on a 45. it's on the other side of
yester me, yester you, yesterday.

Wow!! Stevie has so many gems on his albums that are overlooked.

"I'd Be A Fool Right Now If I Should Hurt You Girl"

Stevie Wonder: The Movie!

Isn't this ubelieveable? Henry Cosby. An amazing Motown producer who's name isn't as well known as it should be. The man crafted some seriously mind-blowing tracks with Stevie. Sylvia Moy- another Motown writer/producer who should have her name etched in stone for the ages co-wrote this and many other staggeringly great songs for the Motown artists. As with many corporations, I don't believe Motown really appreciated what brilliant material was coming out of the "Snakepit."

This IS THE song!! fantastic.thanks.Makes you wanna relive those motown nights all over again!

i love this song!! my favorate!! '
Thank you for posting!!

great song and an overall great album

This is possibly the most musically sophisticated song he ever wrote. It took me weeks to figure out all these unusual chord changes, and I'm still not sure that I have it exactly right!

I'm partial to the first 4 tracks myself. Just about every song is really really good though. This is one of my top 3 albums if not my favorite from Stevie.
