Jamminest Stevie Wonder song in the history of the world

You Haven’t done nothin?
its dirty and angry and could easily be applied to 2 presidents some 30 years apart.

22

Fingertips. Isn’t that what he played up on the table in Beach Blanket Bingo as Little Stevie Wonder?

And of course, Sir Duke.

23

And here’s the proof: Fingertips Pt.II (YouTube)

Not bad for a twelve year old.

24

I can’t argue with anything written so far but I still voted for I Wishbecause it makes me the happiest.

25

Three songs not mentioned in the poll:

“I Don’t Know Why I Love You”

“I Was Made to Love Her”

“As”

Those are my favorites. I also like “Living for the City” because of it’s story-telling and the dialogue at the end. “New York City, just like I pictured it. Skyscrapers and everything!”

26

I prefer his collaboration with Theo Huxtable, Jammin On Da One, to any of his studio cuts.

27

Exactly this. Doo doo wop!

28

Jammin’! Why wasn’t this one of the choices?
I voted for Sir Duke. But the only wrong answer on the list is “Stevie Who?”

29

this. Sooooo this.

30

What, no love for “Maybe Your Baby”? The first 40 seconds or so are SERIOUSLY funkalicious.

31

I was born in Little Rock, had a childhood sweetheart…!

32

Sir Duke for me.

33

Giving some more love to I Wish.

34

Agreed.

35

Sir Duke is one of the few songs that makes me get up and dance. I don’t care if it’s in the library, grocery store or anywhere else.

Once of the dancingest songs in history.

36

Yes, sorry to all the previous entries, but Maybe Your Baby is definitely his jamminest. I Wish, Higher Ground, and Superstitious are all excellent, but nothing else comes close to Maybe Your Baby.

How did it not even make the poll choices?

37

Of those listed, I love Uptight the best, though maybe not “Jamminest”. That kudo would have to go to “Do I Do” (not to be confused with “All I Do”). I’ll never understand why “Do I Do” doesn’t get more love. Is it because it was released on basically a greatest hits album? C’mon, it’s 10 and a half minutes of pure funk bliss!

38

No love for Uptight? Oh well. That’s my vote, even though I think Do I Do is jammier, all 10 minutes of it.

ETA: Damn, Joey Tightlips, are you my alt-universe twin or something?

39

His song “I Believe” is pretty lame-o, but then the last 30 or 40 seconds of it are a real funk jam. If the whole song were like that, it would be a contender.

Nah, it’s just that we’re right and everyone else is wrong. :slight_smile:
