Music Tidbit: “Tuesday Heartbreak” by Stevie Wonder

Screen Shot 2013-02-19 at 4.25.48 PM

“Tuesday Heartbreak” was track 4 on Stevie Wonder’s 15th album “Talking Book“.  The album’s first track was “You Are the Sunshine of My Life“,which earned Stevie Wonder his first Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.  “Talking Book” is a must have for anybody who wants vintage, hit-making Stevie.

“Tuesday Heartbreak” is one of my favorite tracks off of the album.  Written by Steve, a notable player on the track is world renowned alto saxophonist  David Sanborn. “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” was released as a 7 inch vinyl single.  On the “B-Side” is “Tuesday Heartbreak”.  My copy of this vinyl single is perhaps may favorite Motown collectible.  I shot the video using a small digital camera…. it sounds a lot better in person… 😉

Beck Reimagines David Bowie’s “Sound and Vision”

Wow.

Sometimes covers put a new spin on old material. Sometimes the cover surprises. Most of the time, covers disappoint.  Some covers make you want to blog about it …

If you aren’t familiar with David Bowie’s “Sound And Vision”, listen to the video below: 

Beck “reimagines” this David Bowie staple and the YouTube description states the following:

“The Hello, Again performance started with an idea — Beck would reimagine David Bowie’s classic, “Sound and Vision.” But it became more than another cover. It became an experience that presented a fresh take on the possibilities of the once familiar, for both the audience and the performers.

In collaboration with Beck and a “band” of more than 160 diverse musicians, Director Chris Milk created a concert experience that was fully immersive for both the audience and the performers. By capturing the concert with 360-degree cameras and binaural microphones, online viewers will have the opportunity to experience the show from any and every seat in the house. Coming soon to http://www.hello-again.com.”

Check out Beck’s “re-imagining” below: 

All I’m saying  … if Beck ever tours with this, I’m the first one in line for tickets.
