This is one of those instantly recognizable songs that’s guaranteed to fill your dance floor.  As soon as that clavinet kicks in after the drum intro, everybody knows Stevie Wonder is in the house.

Jeff Beck, often called “the guitarist’s guitarist” (and deservedly so), collaborated with Stevie on this tune off the album Talking Book  – recorded for Motown records in 1972.    Stevie performed the beginning drum solo and the clavinet and the bass.  Beck joined in with an almost inconsequential guitar part (playing against the clavinet), but it was Beck that came up with the drum intro.

Anyway, if your crowd is a little sluggish, trot this one out.  And before they leave the dance floor, give them the opening salvo to “Sweet Home Alabama” – the rest of the night is yours!
