Reviews:

Stevie wonder's first live album, "recorded live-little Stevie wonder the 12 year old genius" recorded in 1963 was the first album to put him on the map on the music charts. He was the first artist to have a number one position on the pop singles chart, the pop albums chart and the r&b singles chart all at the same time,

with this live set with fingertips being the only biggest hit single release from this live album Fingertips was really a rave-up that little Stevie would do from previous shows just to get the audiences to feel the excitement of his live sets with just the line, 'everybody say yeah!' was the start of it all his previous singles were not selling, but his live shows were exciting Motown hit pay dirt when they came up with the idea of recording little Stevie live the show was recorded at the regal theatre in Chicago, Fingertips was 7 minutes of nonstop excitement his backing live band was giving little Stevie the cue to end his hot performance of the song but the young performer ignores them and continues to play on.little stevie continues with an excerpt from 'Mary had a little lamb' which was done on his harmonica Little Stevie's older mentor Clarence Paul tries to escort Little Stevie from the stage, but the young kid breaks away from him to continue performing the backing band is confused the bass player for Mary Wells - Joe Swift was on stage for the next set and asks the band "What key? What key? "was caught in the middle of confusion however, near the song's end Little Stevie is hyped up and so is the audience. The original version of Fingertips is an instrumental from his 'the jazz soul of Little Stevie album. other selections from this live set include the live version of 'soul bongo' which was written by Clarence Paul and Marvin Gaye. Stevie delivers a one two punch performance on the bongos. On 'la la la la la', Little Stevie tells his audience 2 repeat after him singing 'la la la la la' and then asks them 'you get it?'afterwards there is an call and response from Stevie and the audience and from there Little Stevie explodes into his drumming. In the last half of the show, Little Stevie does cover versions of (I'm afraid) the masquerade is over and cover versions of his idol Ray Charles. with songs such as Hallelujah I Love Her So of which Little Stevie also plays piano; and the show closers Drown In My Own Tears and Don't You Know of which Little Stevie also plays piano on. Overall this is a nice live album coming from a young kid- a legend in the making..."

Enjoy
