To the 15 people who gave this video thumbs down.... please get your hearing check. This is a masterpiece of piano playing and if you can't hear then I don't know what to say!

Time and again, I've marvelled about Superwoman. The possibility of such a beautiful song getting written by a human being during my lifetime ... Then here's Rachel giving my ears and mind some new chordal dimensions ... she's obviously singing this in her head cos I never heard a missed passage the whole time ... The feel for the piece is so total ... so devastatingly beautiful ... I'm stunned into pieces ...... wow ... just sighingly w o w.

Your comment is everything that I also feel about this incredibly written , emotionally and sensitive song one his best and my favorite

My favorite Stevie song. As he sings...this arrangement is done "VERY WELL"

Truly superlative. If Stevie heard this, Rachel would have a record contract offered to her tomorrow. That smile at the end is priceless!

This is OUTSTANDING!!!! Wow. Is there a way to give a standing ovation on KZread?

Brandi L. Bates . . What a lovely thing to say Brandi. . . You have a good heart X

Rachel must have one hell of a memory to be able to learn so many songs from hearing them with no music to read. Truly a great talent!

Incredibly accurate with Stevie's chords correct and even some of his vocal inflections including. Great work and an inspiring rendition! What an ear you have! Bless you!

I need 1% of your talent to be happy !

Bas ass Rachel Flowers ! With the right musicians and managment, she could become a superstar ! She`s ALL MUSIC AND ZERO BULLSHIT ! The real deal !!!

One of my favorite songs , and she did IT RIGHT !!!!!!......AWESOME JOB .....TOUCHED MY SOUL WITH THAT ONE !!!!!

By the way, the bass line at 3:40 is amazing. Beautiful work

Oh, she is simply "Keyboardtastic"...Jeanie, you have to be so proud of her! She phrases so very well.

Well... if this is not inspiration to keep trying to be a better person in Life and spread Love... nothing is. Give Praise to the Most High. Thank you Rachel Flowers.

Beautiful how you blend technical precision while projecting emotional and soulful musical ideas. I love it.

Now thats an advanced and comment. Need to remember that line to go get a l compliment to a musician

This is by far the best version of this song i have heard. I play it everyday. It makes me so happy. I feel like she is playing my life story. I am truly touched. Thanks for the good music!

Beautiful job young lady, Stevie Wonder would be very proud to hear this

Wow... You got both the melody and chords spot on!!! AMAZING🔥🔥🔥

The Magic and beauty of Music, Thank you Rachel, We love you!

OMG!!!!! this is my favorite Stevie songs by far she is one of the best to do it!!!!! #genius

In a way you are Mary...in a way you will never be. Thank God. Thank you.

Rachel I have been listening to Stevie Wonder for over 40 years and this is truly a beautiful rendition of Superwoman. Every note is a struggle and played from the heart.

Wonder-full performance by a Super-girl. Enchanting and sublime.

This is plain Beauty...

Sensitive version of my favourite Stevie Wonder song.

I've mainly seen Rachel's Keith Emerson pieces, so it's great to see her playing something in a very different mode.

Keri Ford she’s also done Argent, Hold Your Head Up, and Boston Foreplay/Long Time. Can find them on youtube.

What I really want to see/hear is Rachel and Chris Thile. I think they would blow each other's minds.

Emotionally one of the best performances ever. Beautiful.

Gorgeous. Just gorgeous lady. Stevie 🙂

Not just the best musician on the planet. But also the best hair. Can I have some?!

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard in a very long time ! VERY WELL, and I think I can deal with everything going thru your SOUL. You play with such feeling. WOW

Her smile while she is playing "Where Were You When I Needed You" is amazing

That smile right at the end is inspiring...

Hi, Jeanie, it's Matthew Saracho again. Pardon me for commenting so much on these videos, but, I'll be very honest with you. I've had plenty of friends, and a few girlfriends who simply didn't want to get out of my life for whatever the reasons. But Rachel, in case you don't know, has really caught my attention and changed every bit of my life these past few days. Today, out of all the friends I have, I now rank her No. 1 because of both our talents and abilities people have seen separately.

This is why You Tube needs to add a "love" selection..."like" just doesn't capture how beautiful this is. It is my hope that Stevie will somehow hear this and then invite Rachel to join him for a rendition. What a wonderful duet that would be....this is much appreciated. Time to watch again!

Beautiful...gorgeous arrangement. Improvisation is right on. Amazing talent.

Rachel, you are the Superwoman that SW envisioned ❤

All I can say is WOW. This is one of my fave Stevie songs and I know he'd be proud.

Blown Away! Started not to click, but was curious enuf to do so.....this girl is talented!!!

Wow,from the very first key,i knew it would be great,but it was wonderful.Thank you so much for that performance.God bless.

You captured one of my favorite songs with such dexterity and style. I can sit back and taste every nuance you incorperated in it like it's a recipe or a dish only a musical chef like you can create. Wonderful. And the portion of what Rachel began at 6:23 slowly became what we call in the church 'shout material'. Truly a virtuoso rendition of a song that still reverberates melodically today.

Thank you and Rachel for letting us listen to her play!I am always put in a better place mentaly while/after listening and today I am reminded that we are all different and have our own tallents but we/I need to open my mind to accept each other and if not just for one day I am a better person for your efferts and I THANK YOU!GOD BLESS!

Girllll you better play!!!!!

You played one of my favorite Stevie songs with so much passion, excellence, and tear sheading grace. Thank you so much! That was simply Beautiful!

Long live Rachel Flowers!

Ive never heard anybody play this song as good as her, except Stevie Wonder himself! Heck, I've been watching this video at least 3 years and she taught ME how to play it!!!!!! #awesome

Omg so much color and feel when you play Rachel. I have been coming to this vid for years

I wish I could stand in front of you and give you a standing ovation,,,,,, beautiful!!!!!

Bravo Rachel. . More than a few people, including myself, are standing to applaud you. Live long and be happy dear Maestro XX

how could anyone in there right mind thumbs down this. She Killed everything and put a bit of her into it. Great Job!

Wow😱👏👏brilliant,from my fave Stevie album,she’s so talented

I love this song. I have since I was a kid. I'm glad I wasn't in the room hearing this as it was being recorded. I probably would have started crying.

I'm not a cryer, and listening to this made me cry. Beautiful!

She likes all the music that I like. She was like sent by god to please my ears.

I am so pleased to have been a witness in my own home to the genius of Rachel Flowers and her talent. She will go far. Well done, Rachel.

I’m going to have this song at my wedding, Rachel’s version….manifest 😊

My favorite song and I still watch this in 2017!

I have watched a number of Rachel's videos and just had to say thank you for such wonderful entertainment. I nearly jumped out of my chair when I saw she had done one of Stevie's very best tunes. And, of course, she is magnificent.

I am just so glad that I clicked on that video of her playing Tarkus yesterday! She's simply amazing

Maaaaan, ...Rachel you are the truth!!! Rare God given talent! I sincerely thank you for pleasing my ears!

Stevie's my favorite, and these are two of my favorites of his songs, and Rachel would make Stevie proud! Wow! Thanks, Rachel. May the world come to know your talent and your soulful approach to such great tunes.

Rachel is picking up where Lyle left off. Such grace and sophistication.

She is a Superwoman!

HELL YES!!!! ABSOLUTELY RACHEL FLOWERS!!!

if i could like this twice i would

So, hear I am sitting in front of a midi keyboard trying to teach myself how to play piano because of this rendition of one of my favorite songs by Stevie Wonder. I'm autistic, so I'd drive any instructor to madness, but I intend to give it my most gallant effort. I am a musician by training, I could not continue because of what I know now was the stress caused when performing with a group of people while trying to act 'normal'. Beautiful work, Madame. I'll be looking into more of your work also. You have a new fan. C.W. Badie

These are two of my fav songs by him and you did a great job....

OMG!!! She killed it

I've been totally amazed at watching and listening to many of your newer videos. So I decided to back to your first ones. I am still astounded at your musical abilities. But maybe even as amazing, is how effortlessly you play. For example, when I or other people play a difficult passage on piano, our faces usually get very serious looking. But not you. You actually grow an even bigger smile, and just seem to get lost in all the complexity. Hmm, maybe "lost"is not the right word, since you are in a world of music I can barely relate to. You seem to know exactly where you are going in your playing. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!

This is wonderful! What talent, thank you for sharing :)

Absolutely beautiful! A perfect rendition to one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs

This is the second piece ive heard, by far, a Stevie Wonder song played so flawlessly

Best thing I've heard all week

How fantastic! Music written by a genius in the hands of another genius.

She has a lovely touch on the ivories, and i have had the fortune to see other greats like Oscar Peterson, Matty Ross and Keith Emerson live on stage.

so beautiful! the song is a "chef d’œuvre" And definately those who can't see with their eyes, see so much more with their mind...and then, they can give a special rendition for our most great pleasure...

Right, Superwoman, Supermusic, you are so great.

This brought tears to my eyes … absolutely outstanding

I'm about 10 years late but this is a Dope Listen! Thank for sharing! Where is Rachel Flowers when I need her???

I wish I could buy this version of this song on iTunes. Great work Rachel; you are so gifted. Thanks for your music; it is a blessing to all of us.

Oh my god, That is so beautiful! She played that so beautiful. God be with you, Rachel.

This is an excellent interpretation of Stevie Wonders ‘Superwoman’.

I can see where Rachel gets her spirit from. You are a living, breathing example of compassion, grace and tolerance. Cheers!

Jeanie, she is so very wonderful...and I cry whenever I hear her play this!

Fantastic! Amazing! God be with you , Rachel. You are a God's gift to all of us. Keep playingl!!

YES!!!!!

This was a truly beautiful performance. This is the best piano cover of the song that I heard, Other people just play the second half of the song, but she played the whole thing! Absolutely sublime!

So nice to listen to this again.

That s the most awesome thing I've witness in 2010! Maybe ever, but I'll reserve that statement for now. Bravo!

such a beautiful job from a beautiful woman, super woman.

beautiful babie. as you were playing i listened for every nuance that is in the original and you nailed evey single rest and every single note and not to mention the little inflection that stevie had whe he sung it. The transition from the first part of the song to the second was...no words. i'm inspired. GOD BLESS YOU. You did the song justice which is the least I can say right now.

Rachel, You lift my spirit.

I was "whistling" about at 3:52 seconds when Stevie goes into that part of the song with "When the summer came..you were not around" part, and beautiful Rachel hit it right on the money! You go, Rachel! :) And she smiled knowing that she really done that part well!!

honey that was beautiful

You bring out something both jazz-like and elegaic in Stevie here, and you swing more than you probably think. Great job.

... one of the most beautiful songs ever made in this lifetime. Thank you Ms. Rachel Flowers!!!♥️👍🏾

This young lady is a musical genius. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to see that. She's in rarefied air. I'd probably put her up there with the likes of Stevie, Marian McPartland, Fagen and Brubeck. I honestly don't think that that's a stretch. I mean, she's only going to keep getting better, which is scary.

I'm not saying she cannot play, or whatever, but b4 you put her on Stevie Wonder's level, U might want to experience his solos & performances, & go see him live . Pull up Stevie Wonder Gershwin award & performance at the Library of Congress . The music Stevie & the orchestra is playing, Stevie wrote & arranged for that event !

If you would allow me to suggest 1 more performance, take a look at Stevie Wonder & Lala Hathaway, & Shelia E performing Lala's late dad's (Donny Hathaway) song "Where Is The Love" , his keyboard playing is amazing . I have nothing against this young lady, I just think, to put somebody on such a level as Stevie Wonder, is debasing Stevie's greatness ! It is just my opinion though .

mrinnervisionz Yeah, I've known of Stevie's genius for many years. Putting someone - anyone - on the level of Stevie Wonder is saying a mouthful. I wouldn't make a statement like that lightly. Never any intention of debasing Stevie's greatness. No one need convince me of how great he is, that's for sure. I've been cognizant of that for decades now.

Truly numinous, beautiful and above all FLAWLESS. I respect your prowess and dedication to your craft. So awesome!

Wow!

magically beautiful!!!! I can listen to her over and over again.

Simply Beautful

This song and rainbow in the sky are probably the most beautiful songs ever played. Can bring tears to one's eyes xx
