I hate it when people cover songs and do a terrible job at it. THANK YOU Brand New Heavies for doing an excellent job with one of Stevie's best songs (in my opinion). Love your interpretation of the song. Fabulous!
Next to Stevie, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG, I FEEL ALL OF HER HEART & SOUL, AND IT SO SOOTHING TO MY SPIIRIT!!!💯❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this song. They did an AMAZING cover of it and captured the all of the grit and drive of Stevie Wonder's original. The bass, horns, clavinet and brilliant vocals!
I WANT TO MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR . N'Dea and THE BRAND NEW HEAVIES version of this is FAR FAR AND AWAY the BEST version of this song PERIOD! and it's not even close. NOT EVEN CLOSE
@@arthurfakaya But he did. The other song you are referencing ("(I Don't Know Why) But I Do" is an R&B song written by Paul Gayten), has the same title, but the songs are totally different (lyrics, music, etc.). Let’s not take credit from Stevie’s genius and attribute it someone else.
Holy fucking shit, I found it! Snippets of this song have been in my head for like 4 years. Finally the chorus clicked and I remembered. Sooo satisfying.
Jusalilhindi Check out the Rolling Stones version ( I Don't Know Why ) especially if you appreciate Rock & Roll lead guitar . I like the Stevie Wonder rendition but the recording quality is just too primitive .
Likewise, I caught them in Osaka in 2006 in a fairly small venue... Whenever you get a chance, they deliver! This is a great album from one of my all-time favorite bands (since the early 90's. Love BNH!). I'm really enjoying the latest album "TBNH" too.
Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5, Jill Scott and the Brand New Heavies all sing this song a little differently - and I love each and every artist's interpretation of this classic Stevie Wonder song. I love that I have this kind of choice with one of my all time favourite songs. While I was listening to the Brand New Heavies I had moments when I thought I heard MJ's voice breaking through ....brilliant.
Her vocals and that band is absolutely flawless! Just got finished watching I Think I Love My Wife, and this was the opening song. I almost forgot about the movie and had to find this song in its entirety.
This is what the Brand New Heavies were always about: just pure, raw, straight from the heart and soul Acid Jazz. I'm deeply happy that this type of music is still made, produced and broadcasted nowadays. God bless you!
I'm not sure why people are comparing her to Michael or Stevie at all, since they are both legends and incomparable. N'dea has her own distinct beautiful voice, and she does this song justice as well as makes it her own. I love when she is with the group, they blend together in a way that they don't with any other singer, a mutual understanding love and respect each other.
I first heard this song on The Jackson 5 ABC album in 1970, and it (the song) would be on my Desert Island Discs list. This is the first I've heard The Brand New Heavies version and, yeah it has to be the best so far.
they also used this in my favorite Scandal scene at Baby Ella's christening. futz was hurt because he found out Liv fixed the election and they had not seen her in 10 months. this song pulled it all together.
Brand New Heavies turning it out with their version. Don't usually like remakes, but theirs is great. I bought tickets for their June NYC show at Highland? any one else interested in going?
N'Dea is putting it down, I am lucky, I had the privilege of meeting the group in Seattle WA, while I was Regional Lp( Security) Mgr for Tower Records. Great in person. Great Cover
This song gives me goosebumps, reaches into my soul, lifts me up & brings tears to my eyes all at the same time! And so do many other BnH tracks. They have the groove & their aint no mistakin!
One of my favorite Stevie songs. Brand New Heavies hit it out of the mofo park!!!!!!! It's amazing how great they sound live! Bring back live music.....screw all this computerized mumbo jumbo!
I love the key she sings in, it sounds like A-Minor, I think Michael Jackson (RIP) also sung in this key when in the Jackson 5's. The backing singers sounds like Jackson 5, listen carefully. Love this joint it's blowing my mind.
This young lady is not singing a song she is singing an experience.
I hate it when people cover songs and do a terrible job at it. THANK YOU Brand New Heavies for doing an excellent job with one of Stevie's best songs (in my opinion). Love your interpretation of the song. Fabulous!
N'dea is the best vocalist EVER that the Brand New Heavies ever has. I always enjoy every album that she is featured on.
She sang the hell out of that song! 👌🏽👍🏽
Next to Stevie, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG, I FEEL ALL OF HER HEART & SOUL, AND IT SO SOOTHING TO MY SPIIRIT!!!💯❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the most underrated groups of the 90s Brand New Heavies aka Hip hops 1st band ..facts
Mint Condition was pretty tight too. Enjoy both groups.
I love this song. They did an AMAZING cover of it and captured the all of the grit and drive of Stevie Wonder's original. The bass, horns, clavinet and brilliant vocals!
I WANT TO MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR . N'Dea and THE BRAND NEW HEAVIES version of this is FAR FAR AND AWAY the BEST version of this song PERIOD! and it's not even close. NOT EVEN CLOSE
Probably my best ever song when Stevie Wonder sang it. Now it is even better. Mind blowing!
Crushing them vocals sis❤❤❤
They covered this song very well. I bet Stevie Wonder was proud.
Stevie did an amazing cover but he didn't write it.
Should listen to little Michael singing this song...AWESOME💕😉❗❗❗
@@carlosnoriega6878 I heard his too.

Nailed it! The whole group was in sync.
Holy fucking shit, I found it! Snippets of this song have been in my head for like 4 years. Finally the chorus clicked and I remembered. Sooo satisfying.
Her voice sounds incredible on this classic!
Absolute world class... truly epic, the vocals the power and range!! The instruments in sync and played to perfection... ❤️❤️✅
N'dea Man - She goes in on a song everytime.
B.L. Frazer Don't she!!!!
Yes she does!
N'Dea and the Heavies, pure brilliance! The band was on fire with her. Cool, crisp and sexy!
Full of soul, hurt and pain 100 percent!!!!!!!
Cathartic!
N'Dea Davenport IS the voice of Brand New Heavies! No other will do.
N'dea ugh wrenching my soul out of darkness with this authentic longing
Shit N'Dea's voice is like a punch in the mind. She kills me every time !
N'dea Davenport's vocals are Supreme.
N'dea Davenport
@@DLME56 I thought this was Syetta Garret doing this one here.
N'dea is the TRUTH!!!!
When my mom first put me onto this song at 10 yrs old she changed my life
Jusalilhindi Check out the Rolling Stones version ( I Don't Know Why ) especially if you appreciate Rock & Roll lead guitar . I like the Stevie Wonder rendition but the recording quality is just too primitive .
One of the bands I'm so pissed I never saw live. Especially back then.
Saw them in 2004? ...In Cleveland, Ohio's Agora Ballroom ...with only about a dozen people....they were so good, even with a small group of us!
Likewise, I caught them in Osaka in 2006 in a fairly small venue... Whenever you get a chance, they deliver! This is a great album from one of my all-time favorite bands (since the early 90's. Love BNH!). I'm really enjoying the latest album "TBNH" too.
Yo ..In the 90s i peeped them at S.O.B .with a Tribe called quest incredible person
Performance
What a voice - marvellous.
The way she sings this gives me chills- in a great way!!!!
Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5, Jill Scott and the Brand New Heavies all sing this song a little differently - and I love each and every artist's interpretation of this classic Stevie Wonder song. I love that I have this kind of choice with one of my all time favourite songs.

yep. young mike. Jackson five mike
Hey , don't forget Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones .
Great Guitar solo on the Rolling Stones version . First Mick Taylor recording .
@@GLORYNEVADASMITH You are right - it's another great recording of this song.
This song seems to have good juju for all who cover it (all my favorite artists... Damn!)
Damn those goosebumps showing up hard . Sing 🎶 it girl
Sintonia maravilhosa!!!!
Same
“How to play Bass Guitar” is included in this incredible song! What a masterpiece!
Kevkev, that's the TRUTH! American radio wouldn't know good music like this if it hit them in the face.
I never heard this song be 4 but all the comments made me hit replay- the power of peer pressure LoL cool jam doe 🎶👍🏾
I always thought the best version of this song was by Mick Jagger until I heard N'Dea Davenport. BRILLIANT!
Her vocals and that band is absolutely flawless! Just got finished watching I Think I Love My Wife, and this was the opening song. I almost forgot about the movie and had to find this song in its entirety.
But then be Carleen Anderson is excellent too
I don't know why I love you N'Dea since 1988....will you ever leave my system....
The Voice On This Chick Should Come With A Disclaimer [Will Probably Cause Goosebumps] 😍
This is what the Brand New Heavies were always about: just pure, raw, straight from the heart and soul Acid Jazz. I'm deeply happy that this type of music is still made, produced and broadcasted nowadays. God bless you!
great singer and song.
You forget how sad the words are; she's putting it down so hard you can smile and groove through it🤣🤣🤣
I actually feel ALL THE PAIN
@@pharmacy4thepeople388 🙏🏽
I know Stevie killed it but this is the closest I’ve heard to the Jackson 5 cover. I love it. 🙏🏾🔥💥☄️🔥
My husband and I were at this concert at the Roxy 2005 or 2006...we were right in the front! That was an awesome concert! Love BNH and N'dea! 😘😘😘😘
I'm sorry. I love this version best. She expresses so much emotion I literally got chills.
Straight bawling
Sameee! Everytime I hear it..Always Loved her! 🔥
indeed. I don't know why but this one is the best.
Listen to Roachford before you decide
70mm Dolby black authentication studio and live not to much far from each other 😂 NDea Davenport musicianship

Sing N'Dea! Play that shit Heavies!
Brilliant great voice.
I'm not sure why people are comparing her to Michael or Stevie at all, since they are both legends and incomparable. N'dea has her own distinct beautiful voice, and she does this song justice as well as makes it her own. I love when she is with the group, they blend together in a way that they don't with any other singer, a mutual understanding love and respect each other.
I'm definitely feeling this version of I don't know why I love you.
I first heard this song on The Jackson 5 ABC album in 1970, and it (the song) would be on my Desert Island Discs list. This is the first I've heard The Brand New Heavies version and, yeah it has to be the best so far.
N'Dea they ain't ready for you...you did yo thang.....the beat to this is FUNKY!!! I LOVE how she put her flava to this......:)

N'Dea absolutely NAILS this....brilliant!
This song gives me goosebumps, reaches into my soul, lifts me up & brings tears to my eyes all at the same time! And so do many other BnH tracks. They have the groove & their aint no mistakin!
Amazing sound and vocals!! Love The Brand New Heavies!!
That's so tight..
Euphoric.
I sang this song for an audition in Clearwater FL, but I didn't get the gig.
Sing it N'dea, siiiiiiing it for me!
this song is pretty much better than life itself.
I'm addicted to this performance. The BNH are just electrifying with N'Dea's stunning vocal's which send a shiver through me every time!
2019 me please! I love this song and her energy!!!
Little Michael Jackson cover blows everybody out the water not even close!
SHE IS THE BEST 🥰🥰🥰🥰

A good example of a band and singer doing it right ,
Happy Birthday N'Dea Davenport 5-6-2017
One of the best groups ever.
WOW !! THE PERFECT SINGER WITH THE PERFECT BAND !!!
Big tune, big voice!!
Sound that touches my soul!!!
Well done!!!
Incredible rendition by a remarkable group.
All I can say about this song is WOW!!!!...Its Stevie Wonder cover but N'Dea Davenport on lead totally blows me away with her rendition!
the stars were all aligned for this. there is a Jill Scott version too that she sang to Stevie that rocked the house.
This and Nicklebags cover are so incredible, it renders me speechless.
yesssssssss yesssssssss yesssssssss
Makes you wish you were there . Awesome Band and Vocals 🔥🔥
she belted that!!! you don't want to lose a talent like that!!
Friday night at Southport...I will be there, so glad that N'dea is back singing....can't wait for it!
Those horns add 🔥🔥🔥. TBNH are one of my favs
WoW. So much soul
One of my favorite Stevie songs. Brand New Heavies hit it out of the mofo park!!!!!!! It's amazing how great they sound live! Bring back live music.....screw all this computerized mumbo jumbo!
13yrs after the original post and I’m still loving it🤎
AMEN TO THAT !!!
Now this is how you do a remake. That woman can SING!
Soul.
I dont know why I love this song ,but I love it!
I love the key she sings in, it sounds like A-Minor, I think Michael Jackson (RIP) also sung in this key when in the Jackson 5's. The backing singers sounds like Jackson 5, listen carefully. Love this joint it's blowing my mind.
Richie Rich Your so on point!
Graham Sharpe Thank you Graham Sharpe
This is a great song and its good to hear N'dea Davenport back with the BNH.
I LOVE THE WAY SHE SING THAT SONG!
I don't why people would love the 17 people who disliked this song.
WOW!! THATS GOOD BOY THATS IS GOOD
"I Don't Know Why (I Love You)" written and performed originally by Stevie Wonder. Was the B-Side of My Cherie Amour single.
I love this song. my pain is deep.
