A song that says something always gets me riled up…and when it is delivered in a funky, move your ass kinda way…well, that just makes it even better.

This song always makes me want to do “The Bump” and then go out and stage a protest march…

Watch Stevie turn out the 1975 Grammys…those folks were getting their groove ON!!

  • That was a good find got to love youtube.
  • It always amazes me how Stevie's songs are still relevant today. Love this choice. :-)

    Is it unbelievably sad or frightening that what Stevie says in this song 30 years ago, applies today????? Great pick though!
  • Wonderful Choice! I remember that night at the Grammys. Look out I am dating myself.
  • Awesome pick! Gotta love Mr. Stevie!
    Have a great weekend!
  • That is one of the hypest Grammy crowds I've ever seen. Classic find.
  • Excellent song choice and clip find! "You Haven't Done Nothin" is unfortunately one of those songs that will remain timeless because there will always be a politician who doesn't have our best interests at heart.

    It was cool to see Gladys and the Pips, Marvin Hamlisch, and Phoebe Snow getting down in the audience. Even though it was probably rehearsed, I am still impressed with Andy Williams' ability to "hit the post" (radio jargon for talking over the intro of a song and finishing right before the vocals start).
  • That is a song I have haven't heard much and it is spectacular for sure.
    I came by last night and listened to it a couple of times.

    Stevie Wonder is the man!! Good pick this week :grin:
  • Hi, I'm new to this meme, just discovered it from Malcolm's site PopCulture and love it. I've done mine over at my site. And love your choice.
  • I swore I commented earlier. Great choice and that is one of the hypest and livest Grammy Crowds I've ever seen.
  • You already know. Message song, which Stevie is THE BEST at - and some good azz funking at it's best! The Sunshine of everyone's life indeed!

    Thanks for this Marvalus. I needed some Stevie today.
  • I missed Old School Friday. Life.
    Anyway, I enjoyed your selection for this theme.
    Stevie was a very good choice.

    {SUMH) Of course Stevie! And that was my JAM! Fresh out of college and dumb as hell! But it was fun!

    ???SUSMH=Smack upside my head...just made that up :razz:
