Amazing Stevie!

I just got back from Stevie Wonder's Atlantic City Concert, his voice is timeless. These 3 Things I Loved:

1. He got down on one knee to play "Boogie Reggae Woman" on his harmonica! I could have sworn he was playing it like that just for me. Oh! Stevie! I do! DO I DO!

2. He stopped the show, to let his daughter wipe the sweat from his beautiful brow, I wished that was my duty. His daughter is extremely beautiful, just like her dad, but I still would have loved to wiped Stevie's brow.

3. He played two of my favorite songs, "Tuesday Heartbreak" from his "Talking Book" Album and "My Love is on Fire" from his "A Time to Love" Album.

I picked up 3 Stevie T-shirts which had braille writing all over the back with his concert dates. My next paycheck has his Las Vegas concert written all over it. He's playing at the MGM Grand Nov. 28th. Life is good. Thank You Stevie!

FRIDAY FUNDAY in ATLANTIC CITY

Tonight, I'm stepping out on the town in Atlantic City to check out, once again, the great Stevie Wonder! He will be in concert at the Borgata, the very swanky Borgata, I might add. I can't afford to stay there so I'm staying at the Trump Marina, down the street. I'm talking my 16 year old neice, to introduce her to a Stevie Wonder live! She's already a fan, but I want her to experience Stevie Wonder live and in living color!

I'm listening to Funday, from the Jungle Fever Album, as I get ready...

The Concert was a Spiritually Renewing Event!

Stevie Wonder is a magical human being. Last night, I went to his concert and he transported me to a musical realm called, "The Natural Most High". I had a natural high all night long. I was so energized by his musical genius, that I didn't get to sleep until 4:00 am in the morning, yearning for more. My entire body was buzzing with excitement long after the concert was over.

The man, (God?) , performed musical miracles for 3 hours and had people begging for more. I need you Stevie!, I need you Stevie!, I need you Stevie! I was happier than the morning sun!

He looked good, he sounded good, and he entertained good. I still can't believe the range of his voice! I was in the building listening and I still can't believe it!

He brought the house down several times last night with "Higher Ground", "Boogie On Reggae Woman", "For Once In My Life"
('sang' Stevie style, of course, with the phuckin' breaks off!), "Superstition", "Sucker For Your Love" , What the Fuss", "Signed, Sealed, Delivered", "As", and "My Cherie Amour". I think I lost about 5 pounds dancing! I was happier than the stars above!

I zoned out several times and I loved when Stevie said, "Now, Class!", when we wouldn't stop screaming with pleasure. I murmured, "oooh, aahhh, oooh, aahhh, aahhh, and screamed, I Love You Stevie!", without realizing it. My Bad. Everytime he whipped out that harmonica, I think I had an orgasm.

I cried when he performed 2 songs from his upcoming Album, "The Gospel Inspired by Lula". I cried. What would a concert be without raw emotion?

The spotlight was left on his piano as he left the stage, and people started chanting, "Stevie, Stevie, Stevie". If he sang for 24 hours, people would still beg for more. Last night, he performed about 30-35 songs, and people still wanted more. I would have liked to hear more songs from the, "A Time to Love" Album, or "A Seed a Star!" from the "Journey Through the Secret life of Plants" Album, but, oh well.

Stevie Wonder Concert Oct. 22nd 2009 at MGM Grand at Foxwoods: The show was sold out, the hotel was fully booked, and I was there in the presence of a bonafide, certified, not-to-be denied genius!!! I feel blessed.

Stevie promised to come back to the MGM Grand at Foxwoods every year! I want to be in the Stevie Zone! (Stevie style, of course, with the phuckin' breaks off!)

I really don't plan to sleep tonight.

Stevie Wonder and Bob Nesta Marley

Good Morning!
The smiles on these two beautiful men are incredible.
Listen to Bob and Stevie perform "I Shot the Sheriff," live in Kingston, Jamaica

1975

Stevie loved Reggae and was greatly influenced by Bob Marley. Their friendship and kinship in music led Stevie to write the incredible smash hit, which I love to pieces, "Master Blaster" on the "Hotter Than July" Album. The album cover currently is a much sought after collectors item, because the cover artwork features the larger than life iconic image of Stevie Wonder! Braids, Beads, Glasses, and all! You gotta love it.

What Were You Doing at Age 16?

In this video Stevie Wonder, at the age of 16, has the poise and intelligence of a man twice his age. I love the way that he expresses himself and the voice! The voice is superb! The song that he is singing, "Uptight", was written and produced, in 1965 when he was 15, it was a number 1 hit, (what were you doing at 15?) This young man could have been anything that he set his mind too, his love of music was a blessing to us all. Simply amazing grace.

Stevie did go on to college, attending the University of Southern California, where he studied Music Theory. Please take a listen and let's push our children to succeed. We can use Stevie Wonder as a template for greatness.

This whole world would be all about God's love again

What if someone made a soda,

That caused everyone to love each other,
Oooh, oh yeah, it sounds good, to me,
And if just a tiny pill can make us see,

That we're truly sisters and brothers,
Oooh, oh yeah it sounds so nice to me,

And we would have no time to waste,
On trivial things like war and pain,
'Cos we'd be filled with joy to know,
Through love the universe we've changed,

To being all about the love again,
All about the love my friend,
This whole world will be all about the love again,
We'd be all about the love again,
No need to pretend,
This whole world would be all about the love again,

What if someone came up with a lotion,

That made everybody start sharing,
Oooh, oh yeah it feels so good to me, yeah yeah,
And some irresistible cologne that with one spray,

There'd be no second thought of caring,
Oooh, oh yeah it sounds so fine to me,

And gone forever would be the day,
Of hunger, homelessness and shame,
'Cos for every single heart,
The promise of endless love will reign,

We'd be all about the love again,
All about the love my friend,
This whole world will be all about the love again,

We'd be all about the love again,
No need to pretend,
This whole would be all about the love again,

All about the love again,
All about the love my friend,
This whole world will be all about the love again,

We'd be all about the love again,
No need to pretend,
This whole world would be all about God's love again,

All About The Love Again,
Stevie Wonder,

PHUCK!

Can't nobody phuck with the dude Stevie Wonder!

This video proves that Stevie is master of all things musical. He is playing the schitt out of these drums and the man standing behind him, (I just love the look on his face), he cannot believe that his drums are getting man-handled by Stevie "Phucking" Wonder!

Wonders to be praised!

October is the Month of Stevie Wonder on the East Coast.

The Weeks of Wonder begin.

This week I will be attending Stevie Wonder's concert at Foxwood's MGM Grand in Connecticut. The week after that, I have tickets to his Atlantic City concert in Jersey. Do I think it's a wise investment to spend a good portion of my paycheck on Stevie Wonder concerts? Let the Church of Stevie Wonder say, "Hell YES!"

Food? Phuck it!, Clothing? I'd rather go naked!

I feel very blessed and very thankful to be able to listen and support my favorite artist and his music, it is very healing for me. Nothing feels better than getting a natural high while listening to "Higher Ground" or "A Time to Love", and there is something sexual about the entire, "Music of My Mind" Album, I get a sexual healing every time I hear a song from that Album. Oh, oh, oh, Stevie!

This is my way of saying, Thank you Stevie!

Side Note: This morning, I had to unplug my schitt to get my carpet cleaned, (no, not that carpet), the carpet on my floors. I'm going through Stevie Wonder withdrawals while I wait for the carpet to dry. The neighbors are catching a break from my "Master Blaster".

I'm still trying to rebuild my Stevie Wonder collection , Here is what I ordered last week:

Talking Book $10.97
,

Fulfillingness' First Finale $7.97
,


Music of My Mind $7.97

Listening to Stevie Wonder "Contusion"

This morning I woke up to "Contusion" the instrumental jazz complilation by Stevie Wonder. He wrote it after his near fatal car accident in 1973. I could not believe my eyes as I read it in the newspaper, "Stevie Wonder in a Coma". Stevie became part of my nightly teenage prayers, "please God, let me meet Michael Jackson, please God, make sure Stevie Wonder is okay, please God, I want to dance on Soul Train"

Stevie was in a coma for 4 days. Thank God for his brother Calvin who saved his life. I remember those days, my family and I were on a natural high of watching Stevie turn the Grammy's into the Stevie Wonder Show. He bought some joy inside our tears.

Let the Church of Stevie Wonder say, AMEN!



He came out of the coma, and wrote this amazing piece.

Words of Wonder: "If Your Love Cannot Be Moved"

"If Your Love Cannot Be Moved",
(featuring Kim Burrell),

You can't say we shall and not fight through hell,
You can't say we will and not dare to deal,
You can't shout out peace and then vanish in the crowd,
You can't ride the storm without some effect,
You can't steal the spoil and not pay the debt,
You can't wave a sign that spells "evil" and feel truly proud ,
You can't sing a song with no melody,
You can't say we're one without unity,
You can't form a line if you're too scared to stand alone,
You can't pray for grace and then smack her face ,
You can't speak of hope and then crack a joke,

You can say you're there but time knows how much you've grown,
Put a face to your somebody,

Can you say your name? ,
Or would you rather stay unknown? ,
Can you show your face? ,
Or are you fearful of it shown? ,
Can you feel your heart? ,
Or does it beat for you alone? ,
Lift your glass up high,
Say that your truth will never lie,
If your love cannot be moved,

You can't look at me and not see yourself,
You can't say "for them" and not for who else,
You can't truly bless and not bless the good of all,
You can't serve the rich and desert the poor,
You can't hear their cries and just close your door,
You can't say you're down and not take it to the wall,
You can't benefit from one's detriment ,
You can't find the serum and not cure the sick,
You can't free the slave to enslave them differently,
You can't see the right only from your sight,
You can't see the wrong and just go along,
Or is that the way you would want your fate to read,
Put a face to your somebody,

Can you say your name? ,
Or would you rather stay unknown? ,
Can you show your face? ,
Or are you fearful of it shown? ,
Can you feel your heart? ,
Or does it beat for you alone? ,
Lift your glass up high,
Say that your truth will never lie,
If your love cannot be moved,

You can't make a pledge and then flip the script,
You can't say the words and not move your lips,
You can't be confused and still say you understand,
You can't be a friend but not through thin and thick,
You can't be a click but in danger split,
You can't evenly share and then grab the biggest hand,
You can't say you do but then show you don't,
You can't say you will and make sure you won't,
You can't want for change and not do what you need to do,

You can't give up all and then take back all you give,
You can't live to die but you can die to live,
Or is that too much to ask of the you in you?,
Put a face to your somebody,

Can you say your name? ,
Or would you rather stay unknown? ,
Can you show your face? ,
Or are you fearful of it shown? ,
Can you feel your heart? ,
Or does it beat for you alone? ,
Lift your glass up high,
Say that your truth will never lie,
If your love cannot be moved,

The Wonder Years: Ted Hull talks about tutoring Stevie Wonder

Ted Hull is retired teacher who tutored little Stevie Wonder from the 5th Grade to High School. Mr. Hull also has a severe visual impairment and has recently became an author. He has self-published “The Wonder Years: My Life and Times with Stevie Wonder.” He tells the story of Motown’s earliest days, when talented young people like Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, the Temptations and Stevie Wonder were working hard to become famous during a time when segregation and prejudice ran rampant. Hull was a shaping force in Wonder’s life as a private teacher and constant companion for six years during the 1960s.

A Day in the Key of Life: Stevie Wonder at Long View Farm

As I watched this video yesterday morning, I couldn't get the thought out of my mind about how much it cost to fly these people out to meet with Stevie Wonder. Those lucky bastards. My next thought was that Stevie is a marketing genius!

Shot in 16mm film by a L.A. film crew hired by the recording artist, Stevie Wonder. Interesting audio clips from the album "Songs in the Key of Life". 1976. The film is 30 minutes, and 40 seconds.

Simply Wonderful

The tickets for Stevie Wonder's 2nd set of concerts in Atlantic City was finally released this morning, and I picked up 3 tickets, and a whole new set of girlfriends are coming with me. Unfortunately, the Halloween tickets were sold out before I could purchase them, but these tickets are better than nothing, and I have great seats! I can't wait to dance in the aisle, because, Stevie knows how to rock a concert like know one else can.

Side Note: I wonder if anyone has ever told Stevie that he is a beautiful man. Musical Genius, yes, I know everybody tells him that but, this brother looked good in his 20's, and now he's all grown and sexy. Simply wonderful.
