Everyone singing Stevie Wonder songs today, usual chart faire except the young black girl Paris Bennet who sang a funky version of 'All I Do' the beautiful Tammi Terrell song. I had no idea it was written by Stevie Wonder. Is it also true it was never released by Tammi Terrell as a 45?

Good to hear it on TV anyway.

Absolutely beautifull song,one of my faves , and pretty sure it was never released , .

Keep waiting for Taylor Hicks to do a Ray Charles number.

The Stevie Wonder is on either Life of plants or the other album that was released either side of it. Great version - great song. There again - my ever worsening memory may be playing up again - will try and produce soundbite 4 tomorrow if there is one.

Never released on a single by Stevie or Tammi. Brenda Holloway also did an inferior version.

I thought the version by Paris was awesome, as good as Tammi!

There is a bootleg Cleptomaniacs House mix, that got a lot of plays a few years ago now. On official release the vocals were overdone by Bryan Chambers

The Stevie version is on the "Hotter Than July" LP. Backing vocals by Betty Wright and Michael Jackson. Awesome. I had no idea he'd written in 15 years earlier until the Cellarfull of Motown CD came out. It seems strange to hear it called a northern soul song as I just think of it as a Stevie Wonder LP track from 1980.

Stevie's version was released on a UK Tamla 45 - it's on the flip of something else but I can't remember what. Its even got a picture sleeve!

There's a fantastic version by Shuffle Inc from around 2000 / 01 thats worth getting. As good as any earlier version...

Agreed!

And did Tammi really do a version? Never knew that. Would have been written by Stevie quite a bit a earlier than his version then....

Well it will be in a minute when I have worked out how to do it (and how to stop saying things twice)!

You can say that again.

Heeeelp. Cannot seem to upload the MP3 file. Either by trying to attach it to my posting or via the Sounds / Refosoul wotsit.
