I think "What's That You're Doing?" by Stevie and Paul is better than "Ebony And Ivory". There's a bootleg of Stevie, Paul, & John Lennon from 1974 called "A Toot and A Snore In 74". It's of no musical value, lol. But it is historical. Also there is another Stevie connection with Paul, both wrote songs on "Off The Wall". Stevie & Mike participated on Minnie Riperton's "Love Lives Forever" album, released after her death. They also sang backup on Donna Summer's "State Of Independence".I would love to hear MJ singing Higher Ground.
You're right in that you'd think that the Jackson/Wonder collaboration on would have turned out to be more iconic songs like Ebony & Ivory w/ McCartney. Even though Get It and Just Good Friends are still good catchy song, theyre not up there with The Girl Is Mine etc. Maybe its the McCartney factor?
I think Carlos Santana tied that.Both hold Grammy records. Stevie Wonder holds the record for most wins by a male solo artist, and MJ holds the record for most wins in one year.
We all have our own favourites of which song was better obviously but what I was talking about was which song was more iconic in the publics eye which was Ebony and Ivory over any of the Jackson/Wonder collaborations.I think "What's That You're Doing?" by Stevie and Paul is better than "Ebony And Ivory".

both Stevie and MJ have covered them: Stevie has done "We Can Work It Out" (Signed, Sealed & Delivered album) and MJ has covered "Come Together" (HIStory and Moonwalker).
lol True!Well, I think MJ paid a bit more to cover "Come Together" than Stevie did to cover "We Can Work It Out" if you think about it, lol.
It just turned out to be more profitable for MJ in the end.
Another Paul McCartney link as he also sings on "Yeah", lol.they both sing in 'yeah', also a song by eddie murphy, if I remember correctly

These songs have always facinated me so much!!!
I'd really love to hear them all!:yes:
Read those last 2 lines of the article:
"I wish those songs coul have been released back then. But they still could be released now and be #1- God -for a long time..."
OH MAN, I would go CRAZY if I could hear this, lol. Like, abnormally crazy, lol.
This interview is from 1984
I agree. 'I can't help it" is more of the caliber of what I would expect from MJ and Stevieraisa, you're awesome. i got that first article from you ages ago, i remember. thanks for this clipping.
and if I Can't Help It is any indication of a Jackson-Wonder flare, then i have no doubt as to Mike's claims in those last lines!
thanks again
:yes: :wub:I love "I Can't Help It". So smooth and the sound is deep and rich. I don't have a good set of headphones. Every time I go to Best Buy or an Apple Store and listen to the good headphones they have with the deep sound and bass, I just say "Man, I wish this was I Can't Help It."
