This is why Stevie Wonder is a great musician!

And in honor of Don Rickles:

Johnny Carson Confronts Don Rickles - Broken Cig Box (new window)

Best part is at 3:10.

What the heck? 4:08 "Hope you kept the cotton mill down south" to the black guy? 1976? Wasnt that a little late for those kinds of jokes?

Stevie wonder rules though.

So THAT is what a talkbox is. Now that I know that, I want one. I want one here and I want one now.

That was pretty good, but Peter Frampton pretty much ruined the TalkBox effect for me.

And, another problem, around 2:13, the song gets really stupid. Up until then, it was good.

Johnny Carson was an asshole.

Great farking clip.

Stevie Wonder is the MAN.

Here's my fave: Living for the City ^

Very good. Stevie was hot in the early 70's.

My fav cover of Papa was done by Was(Not Was). I like it because of the added lyrics of the child as a grown up:

No way, that's when the song starts getting good. Rock n roll, man, rock n roll.

Was the video flipped at some point? At 1:31 there's an overhead shot where you see him playing left-to-right but the melody is descending down the scale, not ascending...

Daft punk needs to do a cover of a stevie wonder song, that would be kickass.

i noticed that too...came in here to get an explanation. got nothin', really, but i have to assume that they flipped the shot. i just can't imagine why.

Stevie rules. And that Sesame Street clip is a classic.

I've always loved this clip of Stevie, especially because I'm a huge fan of people who are good at playing a keyboard or guitar with a talkbox. Here's some really good talkbox clips on YouTube:

A cover of "Digital Love" better than the original

A Merry Talkbox Christmas

The only version of this song I'm willing to listen to (except maybe that Travis Barker remix)
