Two of the greatest musical geniuses of the 20th century came together for one timeless performance here. Stevie Wonder and Jeff Beck famously created “Superstition” together, but then went their own ways. For this very special performance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary show, the two paired up again, delivering the most smoking cut of Stevie’s classic song ever performed! Stevie is just on fire here – the soul and passion pouring out of him as he drives the band are so inspiring to watch.

Needless to say, Jeff worked plenty of spellbinding magic on guitar. That moment at 1:28 where Stevie yells “Jeff do your thing son!” and the pair share a cheeky smile before Jeff drops a mind-bending solo is so beautiful. Stevie has possibly the funkiest bunch of cats of all time in his band, and when they cook together with Jeff Beck, it’s just mind-blowing. The Music Man has to say the chemistry here is off the charts!

 

Stevie and Jeff performed together on October 29, 2009, at Madison Square Garden. When the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame uploaded the jam to YouTube, it hit 7.6 million views. After Jeff’s death, many fans returned to the video to celebrate his music and added comments such as “Rest in peace to one of the best guitarists ever. This man was truly a musical genius” and “This is the best version of ‘Superstition’ that I’ve ever heard. The band is on fire, and well, Jeff Beck is Jeff Beck.”

Stevie Wonder is a regular at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and has featured in some of the greatest performances at the event. He teamed up with John Legend and Bill Withers for the latter’s induction in 2015, to perform “Lean On Me.” This was a really special performance, as Bill had been out of the music industry for 30 years at that point. You can tell Bill’s choice of Stevie and John to make his comeback meant a lot to both of them.

Stevie Wonder released “Superstition” on October 24, 1972. The Music Man readers may recall that the song famously came out of a collaboration between the soul star and Jeff Beck. Stevie learned that Jeff was a fan of his and then invited the English six-stringer to contribute to his Talking Book album. While working on the album, Jeff came up with the drum beat that opens “Superstition.” Stevie told Jeff to keep playing the beat and then improvised the music which would become “Superstition.” Stevie returned the favor for Jeff by writing “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers” for the guitarist.

A woman screamed for help after a thief snatched her bag and knocked her to the pavement. A young man rushed over to lift her off the ground and pointed toward the alley where the mugger had fled. Instead of thanking him, the woman grabbed his jacket, pointed at him, and screamed that he was the thief. A nearby police officer tackled the young man against a brick wall, ignoring his pleas that he was only trying to help. The officer slammed him against the wall and declared that people like him always want to run when money disappears. Everything shifted when a bystander stepped in, forced the officer to stop, and pulled out credentials that completely flipped the situation. How quickly can split-second assumptions destroy an innocent person’s life? The full story and deeper analysis are linked in the first comment.
