Wow. I wonder if that could have been Rose! I tried my best to Google for more information on the recording sessions, but couldn’t find anything. Just think how cool it would be if there were photos from it!How the rage of Stevie Wonder's 'You Haven't Done Nothin' helped shape the politics of hip-hop

"The then-24-year-old Wonder, though, did what few other superstars of the era had been willing – or interested – in doing in a single aimed at the top of the charts. He didn’t just criticize the system in this anti-establishment protest song; he raged against the machine and thoroughly annihilated it. “And we are sick and tired of hearing your song/ Tellin’ how you are gonna change right from wrong/ ‘Cause if you really want to hear our views/ You haven’t done nothin’,” he sang on the year’s most bracing chorus. “Seasons in the Sun,” this was not.
[...] It’s impossible to overstate how revolutionary this was at the time. Wonder wasn’t just painting a portrait of a world on fire, as he had done in 1973’s “Living for the City” or as Marvin Gaye had done in “Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler).” He wasn’t selling hope and unity the way Sly and the Family Stone had done in “Everyday People” or the way The O’Jays had done in “Love Train.” He was smashing the system, directly calling out political leaders for screwing things up. Though the song wasn’t overtly racial, it represented Black pride and righteous indignation in a three-and-a-half-minute sermon. It was Wonder’s “Richard Nixon doesn’t care about Black people” moment.
Although Wonder had already made the move to more socially conscious music by 1974, “Nothin’” still represented a sharp departure from his previous work. Straddling rock, soul, funk, pop and even doo-wop, it sounded like nothing else that was riding so high on the charts. Yet despite its explosive themes and music, the political grenade had an undeniable pop sensibility that was enhanced by the presence of The Jackson 5 on backing vocals. (Michael Jackson, who was 15 when it was recorded, brought his tutor to the recording session.)"
How the Rage of Stevie Wonder’s ‘You Haven’t Done Nothin’’ Helped Shape the Politics of Hip-Hop
Stevie Wonder’s Nixon-slamming 1974 song “You Haven’t Done Nothin’" was a brutally honest anthem that helped shape the politics of hip-hop.
@Agonum - see that bit at the end? About Michael bringing his tutor to the recording session? I wonder if that was Rose Fine.
Oops… I better stop using them without second thought, then!
Exactly my thought! I can imagine him asking her along and I'm sure she would have been interested to be there but I'd love to know for sure.
I didn't even think of doing that.
I KNOW!!! I want those photos. I bet there are some. I wanna see them!
If I'm looking for something in particular I'll hold the cursor over the image to see what it's supposed to be. Not always useful but sometimes it works.Oops… I better stop using them without second thought, then!
The reason I picked that particular one as a response to you above, was because I felt it looked like a vintage detective kind of guy!
Just a random example. This is supposed to be a 'persevering' face. 
That face is despondent!If I'm looking for something in particular I'll hold the cursor over the image to see what it's supposed to be. Not always useful but sometimes it works.
Yes, Harmour Love is ace!
