2931558, your favorite song that Stevie Wonder wrote for someone else
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Wed May-13-15 12:53 PM
the Greatest Living Musician IMO and a Soulful Happy Birthday.
i was listening to "tell me something good" the other day and I thought man what a cut he gave her or you are my heaven for Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack.
or I can't help it for Michael Jackson.
so many classics and not including his stuff with Minnie RIperton.
which ones are yours?

I just really REALLY love this version of the song.
Felipe Luciano's Golden Lady is another great one.

Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Thu May-21-15 12:16 PM
I never cared for the Spinners but "It's A Shame" is the only song I ever liked by them, and now I know the reason.
When it comes to r&b I never pay attention to who wrote what, produce, or do background vocals, only with ever other genre I check credits, I feel dumb not knowing this but like I said I never cared for the Spinners.

This could have been a monster song if Stevie had sang it.

Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Thu May-21-15 12:18 PM
Once again I never thought Stevie would've wrote songs for Jermaine, I thought it would be other but not him, should've known, and "Let's Get Serious" is one of ten songs I liked by Jermaine too.

I like the Carl Anderson version but once the Jackson 5 version was finally released, it quickly replaced Carl's version for me.
Since 1976
