Uptight
For Once In My Life

Love this song so much.

As.

The long version.

Always hear the George Michael version on the radio, but never Stevie's.

Saw him live 41 years ago and still have the ticket!

ItsDisneyBitch · 06/02/2022 19:45

Superstition is probably the best opening to a song ever.

I quite like You Are The Sunshine of My Life. I was 2 and a half when it charted and it's one of the first songs I can clearly remember. For some reason, I always associate it with traffic light lollipops!

Jim Gilstrap sang the two opening lines. I don't know why.

Also Part Time Lover for the harmonises and the moral message that the players get played too!

Oops, harmonies I meant.

Part Time Lover isn't bad, even though it borrows significantly from Maneater by Hall and Oates!

Amazing to think that when he turned 21 ( and legally became an adult in the US) he didn't immediately re-sign to Motown when his contract expired but held out for a much more favourable deal from Berry Gordy.
