I’ve always loved Stevie Wonder. There is something special to me about his genius.
Steven Bernstein‘s Millenial Territory Orchestra does “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.” The first time I heard it, I couldn’t get with it. I couldn’t get over my Stevie expectations. Today as I sat doing some computer drudgery that track came on. It was in the background. I wasn’t really paying attention. I didn’t even realize what tune it was until Doug Wamble’s vocal came in. It caught my attention, and somehow my expectations didn’t have time to hop on. That track is way bad…
I need to go back and listen to everything I’ve ever not dug with new ears.
I love that track! I’m doing an all Stevie Wonder night at the end of July, and that track is definitely an inspiration. On the topic of Steven Bernstein, he was the guy that first hipped me to Aretha’s “Young, Gifted, and Black”, which has become one of my all-time favorite records.
