Stevie Wonder: Do I Do


Todo un derroche de energía, vitalidad, ritmo y pasión por la música. Fusionando ritmos como el funk, jazz o rap, era uno de los cuatro regalos inéditos que ofrecía Stevie Wonder en su recopilatorio Original Musiquarium I. Sus más de 10 minutos de duración en la versión del disco, Do I Do era toda una guinda con la que Stevie Wonder cerraba y abría una etapa más en su dilatada carrera llena de creatividad y éxitos.
Todo un éxtasis musical que muy pocos artistas pueden ser capaces de generar a su público. La presencia magistral de un sólo de trompeta de Dizzy Gillespie, la de Nathan LaMar Watts al bajo, la frescura de la melodía, la interpretación vocal de Stevie, simplemente maravillosa, su sonido disco de finales de los 70 y comienzo de los 80 todavía hoy en dia sonando genial y es que haga lo que haga este hombre perdura a las marejadas y tempestades del paso del tiempo.
Gracias por todo Stevie.

Do I Do letra
When I see you on the street
My whole body gets weak
When you're standing in a crowd
Your love talks to me so loud
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you

When I hear you on the phone
Your sweet, sexy voice turns my ear all the way on
Just the mention of your name
Seems to drive my head insane
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you...baby

Sss..Mmm
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

My life has been waiting for your love
My arms have been waiting for your love to arrive
My heart has been waiting
My soul anticipating your love, love, love

From the time that I awake
I'm imagining the good love that we'll make
If to me your vibe can do all this
Just imagine how it's going to feel when we hug and kiss
Sugar, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you...all right

Sss..Mmm
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

My life has been waiting for your love
My arms have been waiting for your love to arrive
My heart has been waiting
My soul anticipating your love, your love, your love

Ladies and gentlemen,
I have the pleasure to present on my album
Mr. Dizzy Gillespie...Blow!
Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow!
Do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you

Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

My life has been waiting for your love
My arms have been waiting for your love to arrive
My heart has been waiting
My soul anticipating your love, your love, your lo-o-ove

Oh, I don't care how long it might take
'Cause I know the woman for me, you I'll make
And I will not deny myself the chance
Of being part of what feels like the right romance

Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you, oh yeah

Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you

Girl, I've got some chocolate kisses for your lovin'; baby, oh yea
Do you want some candy?
Do you want some honey suckle?
Do you want some chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you?

Girl, if you felt everything you heard me say
Turn your feelings in your heart back to me right away
And I'll get it

Do I do (do I do)
What you do (what you do)
When I do my love to you

Do I do (do I do)
What you do (what you do)
When I do my love to you

Do I do (do I do)
What you do (what you do)
When I do my love to you

Do I do (do I do)
What you do (what you do)
When I do my love...Nate!
I know the record is about to end
But we're just going to play and play until it goes away
So if you don't like the groove you can turn the record off
It won't cost you nothin' but a penny and you'll have a cough'
I know I cannot ryhme 'cause I ain't like a friend of mine
but I hai ha ha ha....
(jive rap)
Now everybody's talking about the jive is in...
Well I know I've got something for your body...
Earl...Earl
Earl playing by himself, man...
Earl playing by himself, man...
Earl playing by himself, man...
Dennis playing by himself, man...
five, four, three, two, one.

Alimentando una nueva década


No, no parece que fue ayer, cuando aquel pequeño llamado "Little Stevie", empezó a crear un paraiso musical que tanto nos ha hecho disfrutar. Tampoco parece que fue ayer, cuando unas obras de arte en forma de canciones, dejaron impresa su huella de por vida en mi corazón. Es mucho el tiempo que ha transcurrido, al igual que muchas los placeres sonoros con los que he disfrutado con este hombre. Las modas han ido pasando, la forma de crear e interpretar la música han ido evolucionando, las décadas y milenio han ido pasando páginas y este hombre Stevland Morris, aka Stevie Wonder, continua ilusionándome con sus canciones y su persona.
Este 13 de mayo cumplirá 59 años, límite de ese tan feo vocablo "vejez", aun así, la frescura vital y su generosidad por conseguir un mundo en paz y lleno de amor no tiene límites y continua alimentando esta nueva década, apunto de comenzar, con más savia creativa de su mente fértil. Promete ser espléndida y rica en creatividad, aferrándose a una necesidad de estar en contacto con su público -como asi nos lo demostró en su tour finalizado hace unos meses-. A la publicación de sus proyectos en solitario -"The Gospel Inspired By Lula" o "Through The Eyes Of Wonder"- se le suman sus proyectos ayudando al álbum debut de su hija Aisha Morris y el disco a dúo con Tonny Bennett y la producción de Quincy Jones.
Stevie Wonder hace un guiño sonriente a la historia, ella es inamovible, distante, y nos juzga con frialdad, pero la tiene ganada. El futuro es impredecible, inclemente e ilusionante, es una batalla por ganar, pero la confianza es férrea y seguirá forjando y enriqueciendo su historia, convirtiéndose, si ya no lo es, en el músico más creativo, influyente y generoso de la música.



LETRA
You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
‘Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you would agree
It couldn't fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
that they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther King
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Why has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated
all throughout the world
The time is overdue
For people like me and you
Who know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all God's children
It should never be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out don't hold it in
Sing it loud as you can
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Ooh yeah
Happy birthday...
We know the key to unify all people
Is in the dream that you had so long ago
That lives in all of the hearts of people
That believe in unity
We'll make the dream become a reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so
