Its in the title. I wanted to introduce my friend to Stevie wonder and there is literally not a single one of his songs on youtube that are listenable. Only badly recorded live versions of said songs. Such a classic artist, and he wont let Joe blogs learn about what he does before they buy. I love the guy, but its seriously off putting when they protect their product to the degree that younger people cant even get a taster before they invest in an artist. I'm dissapointed. Hes made a shed load im sure already. I didn't realise his music was all about the money.

As far as I can see there are loads of Stevie Wonder songs on YouTube in the original versions. I had no trouble finding Superstition, I Wish, Sir Duke, Isn't She Lovely, As, etc. I'm not sure what the OP is getting at.

It took me less than a minute to find FULL versions of most of his best known albums on Youtube.

I wonder which country the OP is in? I had a girl ask me on another thread to find a track for her which 'wasn't on youtube' but it was EVERYWHERE on there, but because she was in a different country, none of them were actually available to her.

This is due to copyright restrictions on certain things on YouTube, not Stevie Wonder 'being all about the money'.

Why not burn a sampler CD for your friend? Or if you want Stevie Wonder to earn money from the fruits of his labour (as you would if you were a fan), buy them a greatest hits CD, probably pick one up for a fiver somewhere.

If you're in the UK and you've a lot of videos uploaded to YouTube that include recorded music, as have I. You'll find that many are not available to be seen/heard in some countries but they're particularly not available in Germany.
