Back in the day, our children got a Black History Lesson in our music.

The Ultimate song of the World!

Saw the Nov. 22nd show here in Atlanta....had no regrets! Got tickets for my Dad and I and it was definitely a treasure I'll remember...SITKOL was the first album that my dad introduced me to around the age of 8 back in the early 90s after Stevie had put out Jungle Fever and it quickly became one of my top 3 favorites. Now at the age of 27, I was able to share the experience with the one who introduced me to this great artist and enjoy some timeless music. Thank you for this footage...Black Man is def. one of the tracks that was way ahead of its time on this album and also the fact that he included Pres. Barack Obama at the end. Again, it was an excellent show!

Had the BIGGEST CRUSH on Stevie. My mom took me to see him when I was 8 in the 70's. He was on tour for his INNERVISIONS album. I would have gone to his last tour for an encoure but I was pissed that he was only going to do the songs from TKOLA. I loved that album as well. It just wasn't my fav.

Emmanuel Shepherd I went to that concert in Atlanta too and it was phenomenal! Then went with my cousin and uncle to see him in Charlotte in 2015 and was just as great. Definitely a treat and real music!

Do you know if there’s a video of it anywhere? I looked it up on here and nothing came up.

Thank you for teaching me our history when i was only14 in 1976

The call-and-responses lines after the one referring to TJ Marshall (line #17) are omitted in the studio album version. The first line after TJ Marshall , line #18, refers to William Purvis. Line #19 cannot be made out. The penultimate line (line #20) refers to T.A. Carrington. The final line, line #21, refers to Jan Matzeliger.

Splendid and Spectacular

WONDERFUL

Pure funk

A TRUE LIVING LEGEND THANKSSSS STEVIE THANKS S GOD 🙏 BLESS ALWAYS ❤️

Thank you for Sharing Concert Chick and Mr Stevland Hardaway Morris August 12 2022 12:50pm EST USA The Master Weaver The Creator Has A Master Plan. Have y'all seen the movie The Secret Life of Bees?

The reason why this song is referred to as “Black man” is that it’s the most commonly mentioned demographic group.

Need that ARP 2600 with gate trig.. for the bass.

Stevie can see yall

How come there's no extended version of this song? I'd like to know the parts between TJ Marshall and Jan Matzelinger.

Derrick Williams One clue to the last line before Jan Matzeliger is the year 1876. That line refers to a Black man.

The last part between TJ Marshall and Jan Matzeliger is T.A. Carrington, a Black man. The first one is William Purvis. I cannot make out the woman referred to in the line between Purvis and Carrington.

tres cool stevie wonder , la motown que je connais bien depuis les annees 1970 , les freres aines en sont pour quelques choses , c est sur la motown a les plus grands artistes , tel que stevie wonder entre autre , le vieux nemo

If I add a modern person to end of the song, I’d say “Who is the greatest singer ever discovered on American Idol? Jessica Sanchez, a Brown woman!”.
