1.3 Million Views! I posted this video just 16 months ago and this clip has been enjoyed by 1,302,000 music enthusiasts from around the world. This funked out cut is righteous and that's a beautiful thing!
Whenever anyone asks me what I like to listen to when I get stressed or catch a case of the blues... I often will tell them Stevie Wonder. It just doesn't get a better than Stevie Wonder. Period. The quick fix - and the best music video I have ever seen - is this utterly incredible clip of Stevie Wonder and his band playing Sesame Street in '72.
Watch the video and check these cats out. Utterly insane. I challenge you to name one musician or group better than this today. Don't hold your breath.
Superstition live on Sesame Street.

Can you name the players? I have a few listed here, I think - but not all. You are invited to make suggestions and/or corrections. Do your best - the picture quality isn't the best - but the music record is sensational!
The Band: Keys and Vocals – Stevie Wonder; Guitars - Ray Parker and Ralph Hammer; Bassist - Scottie Edwards; Drums - Ollie Brown; Sax - Lou Marini; Horn - Bernard Manning.

Special Thanks to Jeremy.
whew... thanks!
i needed that.
Me too.
That was great. Sesame Street is a can't miss for musicians.
I like the recent performance by James Blunt, in which he teaches all of us about triangles.
Just my opinion, but this is the best music video I have seen.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I saw this when it was first one--I would've been six in 1972, and probably didn't miss much on Sesame Street, and very vaguely remember this black guy playing piano and singing stuff very different from what my parents listened to (no, neither my musical tastes nor anything else was very developed at that point). Well, now at least, I can appreciate it as I didn't then....
Do you happen to know if anyone has the audio from Stevie's Sesame Street funkafied status?
Totally concur on the level of talent. It would be impossible to find anyone remotely as talented today.
