In part 1 of this rare, understated interview from 1970, we catch a 20-year-old Stevie Wonder standing at the literal crossroads of his career.
Just months away from his 21st birthday and his historic break for artistic independence, Stevie discusses his shift into production and his burgeoning collaborative spirit.
It is a quiet, profound glimpse of the man right before he moved to New York City to build the "Classic Period" and change the DNA of popular music forever. Note his wit and unwavering confidence, the hallmarks of a visionary ready to claim his own narrative.
Young Stevie also challenges the very definition of the word “Soul,” arguing that 'Soul' wasn't a racial category, but a depth of feeling, a '20/20 vision in the dark' that allowed him to communicate across the boundaries of sight and sound.
"Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand." — Stevie Wonder
i restored a very rare bootleg live performance of D'Angelo, Groove Theory, and Stepchild performing at The Fillmore in San Francisco on November 16, 1995 during the Brown Sugar tour.
Notable for featuring the only known recording of D'Angelo covering Curtis Mayfield's 'The Makings Of You', which you can hear in this video

This is an early demo for Stevie Wonder's "My Love Is With You," which just surfaced online earlier this week.
Originally recorded in 1979.
The full and finished version wouldn't be released commercially until Stevie's 1995 album "Conversation Peace."
A 16-year gestation.
Steel sharpens steel; greatness begets greatness. Take it from @wearedelasoul and @therulernyc.
Make sure you’ve watched or listened to this amazing episode of the Questlove Show @qls.
This is "Lost In The Masquerade," an unreleased Method Man & Lauryn Hill collab, produced by Wu-Tang affiliate 4th Disciple.
The "Star Wars” sampling track initially appeared on J-Love’s legendary bootleg Method Man mixtape series, but never saw an official release.
A high quality version has never surfaced.
The Notorious B.I.G. appeared on The Wake Up Show with Sway Calloway & King Tech on March 1, 1997 — one of his final radio appearances, delivering a freestyle that still hits today. 🕊️
🚩Steven Spielberg n'avait que 24 ans lorsqu'il a réalisé le pilote de COLUMBO, mais il faisait déjà preuve d'un talent certain pour la narration visuelle : le plan d'ouverture glisse du meurtrier s'approchant de la victime en un seul mouvement.
The famous car chase in The French Connection (1971) was filmed without city permits. Director William Friedkin had stunt drivers race through real Brooklyn traffic at 90 mph, while he sat in the backseat operating the camera.
