Anything with Stevie Wonder or Donny Hathaway will make me listen, but when I heard this song by Aretha Franklin I knew I liked it right away, but I didn't know why. Well I found out later that Stevie Wonder cowrote this song; Aretha sings it and she is on the acoustic piano and Donnie Hathaway is on the electric piano in this song. I am not even a music guru, but I could tell that the craftsmanship in this song is outrageously good.

I was going to post this. As much as I love this song, I can't make it through without getting musty eyed. I don't know if it's the arrangement, the lyrics, or her singing. I felt this song even as a kid. To be able to feel s song like that, and never experienced a loss of love like that is just

Aretha kills it on a few songs like "Angel", "Share your love with me" and a bunch more, but I always felt that "Til you come back to me" was probably her best overall song. Here is the actual original version "Till You Come Back To Me" by Stevie Wonder:



Stevie Wonder gets copied so much that people forget how many songs that he has made that other people have remade into hit songs.

This is literally the toughest question in history


This is a contender for me

I always thought the sample wasn't a sample...

Impossible to answer. I can’t even name a favorite song by a favorite artist, let alone an all time favorite song.

Think of it like this. If you had to show a song or few to an alien life form to represent a facet of earth/human life.

I like both versions. How can a man who can't see shyt, be so poetic with imagery and emotion.

Good question. I have no idea, but Ray Charles was like that too.

The older I get the more and more stunned I am at the complete depth of Stevie Wonder's music and all the people that he has written for or remade his songs. Just stunning.

This was super hard so I just threw together 4 that came to mind with room for an extra.

King Los is maybe the best lyricist I've ever heard and this song is just 6 min of pro-black, supreme lyricism.


Peabo just had vocals that made you emotional.


Smokey's voice is the voice of my childhood. They played this song everynight on the radio in the DMV and it's always stuck with me.


Usher's my nikka
