I don't mean to nitpick if you made an honest error... but I'm just getting the vibe that you might actually not have a clue about shit that you are talking about.

Stevie didn't play the piano on "Fingertips" and he didn't play the piano on most of his early records. Back then, he was playing harmonica and bongos. He picked up keys later.
