Stevie Wonder is playing a gig in
He's just finished playing his Seventies classic
Sir Duke. The crowd is
still going wild when a young Japanese man at
the front says, "Stevie
Wonder, you play a jazz chord, you play a jazz chord!"
So Stevie plays an F# minor
on his keyboard and goes off on a jazz
riff.
The Japanese man says, "No Stevie Wonder, you play a jazz chord!" So
Stevie tries an A and off he goes
with the band on this amazing
improvised moment.
When he's finished, the lad
says, "No Stevie, a jazz chord, a jazz
chord!"
By now old Stevie is a little
confused. "What do you mean, play a jazz
chord? I've just done 2 for you..?"
he says to the fan.
"But it best song of Stevie
Wonder! It bery famous!" comes the reply.
"Ok, well how does it go then?",
enquires the blind musical genius. The
young Japanese man clears his throat and starts to sing:
Wait for it.....
"A jazz chord..............to say, I ruv
you..."
