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.

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.
