Chris,

I'm trying to hear that G#(major)+ chord but to no avail.
It's E (major) for my ears.

And the next G#(major)6 chord also is in "question."

 

[ChrisDev]

yep, should be G#m#5 or E/G# and G#m6

You guys are amazing...I just picked up that Stevie Wonder as a 2021 Christmas gift to myself.

Stevie Wonder has been one of my Musical upbringing cornerstone.

P.S. After I've spent a few minutes listening to "Look Around," I've noticed some more "questions" about the chords/Harmony from that song.
In Verse, that B chord in Measure 4 sounds more like G#min/B.
In Chorus, I hear some other nuances, etc...
I'd like to spend more time next week on that harmony.

 

[ChrisDev]

A#m7 is the same as C#/A#

A#m7: A# C# E# G#
C#/A#: A# C# E# G#
I'll update the other chords.

Thank you

Awesome! Thanks for this one!

If I'm not mistaken, the producer was also a bass player, hence 2 basses on this recording.
This is the main bass line. I don't know who recorded it. Several bass players are mentioned in the album credits.

Hall and Oates "Sara Smile" was from '76. I distinctly recall this as I was a freshman in college. I remember hearing this tune on my orientation weekend.
Is it Ronnie Baker or Lee Sklar on this??? I always assumed Sklar...recently, I have heard Baker's name popup.

"She's Gone" is a stone cold Classic!
