It's possible that you've even attended one of our concerts when we've programmed an entire set of Stevie Wonder tunes. To celebrate this year's birthday, we thought it would be fun to share a compilation of some of our favorite SW songs. These were recorded and filmed a few years ago for the M-pact Vocal Festival. Which one is your favorite? 1. I Just Called to Say I Love You 2. As 3. Have a Talk With God 4. Master Blaster 5. Signed, Sealed, Delivered 6. For Once In My Life 7. Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing 8. I Wish And, the obvious last question is: should we finally record that Stevie Wonder tribute album we've been mulling over for the last 10+ years?! 👀😍🎧 </video> <video> ISOLATED BGVs (Got to Get You Into My Life) Description: 🎶ISOLATED BGVs🎶 These background vocals from "Got to Get You Into My Life" are too good not to share!

Back in 2008, we fell in love with this beautiful holiday tune - in particular the recording by the amazing Chris Botti & Eric Benét. We loved it so much that we decided to record our own studio version. However, as things go sometimes, it was never released and has been sitting in 'the vault' ever since. That said...we thought it was time to dust it off, wrap it up, and put it under the tree - just in time for Christmas! We hope you love this song as much as we do, and that it adds some joy to your holiday season. 💕 Wishing you a wonderful day with the ones you love...we'll see you in 2022!
