Fingertips

"Fingertips" is a 1963 number one hit single recorded live by "Little" Stevie Wonder for Motown's Tamla label. Wonder's first hit single, "Fingertips" was the first live, non-studio recording to reach number one on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the United States since Johnny Standley's 1952 comic monologue "It's in the Book".

Overview

Written and composed by Wonder's mentors, Clarence Paul and Henry Cosby, "Fingertips" was originally a jazz instrumental recorded for Wonder's first studio album, The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie. The live version of the song was recorded in June 1962 during a Motortown Revue performance at the Regal Theater in Chicago, Illinois. Containing only a few stanzas of lyrics, "Fingertips" is essentially an instrumental piece, meant to showcase Wonder's talents on the bongos and the harmonica.

"Part 2"

The edit point that begins "Part 2" of "Fingertips" is when Wonder shouts "Everybody say 'yeah!'", initiating a call and response exchange with the audience. After a couple of sung verses, each followed by a bit of Wonder's harmonica playing (solos accompanied only by the audience's rhythmic clapping), Wonder appears to bring things to a conclusion. On the night of the recording, Wonder, as usual started to leave the stage and the band went into the exit music; however, he unexpectedly changed his mind, returning to sing the "goodbye" encore. The other musicians were caught out, and the bass players had changed over to prepare for the next act on the bill, Mary Wells. As Wonder moves into his impromptu encore, the new bass player, Larry Moses, can be heard on the recording, yelling out, "What key? What key?"

You don't want your life to change
You're afraid to rearrange
And you're scared to let go
Of a life that you know
And you think this is all there is
And you think it's as good as it gets
But how will you know
If you don't go
Cuz you've got the sun and you've got the moon at your fingertips
You gotta do whatever it takes to get your hands on it
And I know if you work real hard you can do anything
You've got it all at your fingertips
You might think it's all too soon
Well I once was young like you
And I'm here to tell you the truth
And I am living proof
That this is not all there is
And this isn't as good as it gets
You ask how do I know
Just trust me and go..
Cuz you've got the sun and you've got the moon at your fingertips
You gotta do whatever it takes to get your hands on it
And I know if you work real hard you can do anything
You've got it all at your fingertips
And you'll know you're on your way
and there will come a day
When you can say..
That you've got the sun and you've got the moon at your fingertips
You're gonna do whatever it takes to get your hands on it
And I know if you work real hard you can do anything
Cuz you've got it all at your fingertips
At your fingertips
At your fingertips
