I didn't find this crappy at all. It was very relaxed light talk and Dick Cavett has a class to him that was never offensive.

Cavett isn't an ahole, he's just always looking to get a laugh, that's his job. Letterman does the same thing. Stevie is also being humorous in his own way.

The only thing is that what Cavett's doing isn't funny. Stevie looks as though he didn't want to flounder in the interview and did his best to maintain some control of it. Cavett didn't do a good job of holding the reigns steady.

My father always told me this generation is filled with weak/ soft hearted people! Which of course is not necessarily bad! But trust me, theres no rudeness in this video.

Stevie's speaking voice is so musical - his voice rises and falls in lyrical phrases. Totally natural musician inside-out and all around.

Stevie is one of those people who is always a pleasure to see and listen to, even just speaking or interviewing.

I'm sorry I took life for granted when I was young. Not only did we have real music from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Earth Wind and Fire, etc. but we also had civil discourse. I was a kid who loved to watch Cavett, David Suskind, Black Perspective on the News (Tony Brown), Firing Line (William F. Buckley), and Phil Donahue, among others. Now we've got the crappy faux news (FOX) along with MSNBC and CNN. There's no honest discourse and no unbiased news sources.

He was still developing into the genius he became.

Stevie Wonder is a brilliant man and his best work was ahead of him.

All these years later I just wanted to note that I always liked the tongue in cheek nature of most of your video's titles, Cavettbiter.

And Stevie's best work was still yet to come. Songs like "Superstition", "Higher Ground", and "I Wish" didn't come out until a few years after this interview.

Dick Cavett was never seen on UK TV screens, so we missed out on great interviews like these. It would have been great to have seen Stevie Wonder chatting like this as, although all of his songs were heard on the radio and TV, we never got the chance to see him chat informally in the way US audiences did. In later years, UK Beatles fans also missed out on the interviews John Lennon gave but, thanks to KZread, many of them have been posted. Brilliant to see my childhood heroes again, but from a different perspective and, in this case, Stevie Wonder, he looks completely at home, and I suspect Dick Cavett took the time to make him feel at ease before the cameras rolled. A really enjoyable clip. Thanks! , which featured so which is why KZread has

He got their tho!!!! He became a fantastic lyricist!!!

"Stevland Morris, get it together now" Stevie straighten that man out on his own show 😂 I must say tho, he's always been such a kind, gentle spirited man. He's 72 yrs young n still going strong. Many Blessings to him Always

Dick Cavett haters are ignorant. He was the first Charlie Rose. Stars liked him. He put them at ease, therefor they opened up to them. I am truly thankful to have the Cavett stuff on KZread. Thanks for posting this even thought your title is lousy.

I always liked Cavett. I think that in general he usually came off as genuine in terms of respect, or interest / curiosity, but his style of humor didn't always mesh with everyone. Despite his first name, I never thought of him as one.

No, "the next" album discussed is "Where I'm Coming From".
