Not much needs to be said about this song and certainly not about the footage itself. This is absolute gold in its purest form! To see it performed in a studio in a totally live format (and honestly, I don’t think there’s any overdubs here) is simply awesome! Sir Duke is hands down my favorite Stevie Wonder song. In fact, the album this was originally on, Songs In the Key of Life really has no bad moments but this one really shines for me. I mean seriously, does it really get any finer than that horn section popping out one of the finest runs of eight measures ever to be laid down on record? ( Count) Basie, (Glenn) Miller, ( Louis Armstrong) Satch-m-0 and king of all Sir Duke (Ellington)…What a blast!
